This is off-topic for this newsgroup, so this will be my last post on
the subject. Besides, the designer obviously hasn't a clue about HTML
and web design (which is presumably why he uses Front Page), so it's
beating a dead horse.

Great! A site for Unix scripts, and not designed for Unix operating
systems! 8(

With properly written HTML there is no need for two version of the
site; Front Page, of course, doesn't produce good HTML.
The logic behind using a smaller text size for a hi-res screen than
for a lo-res one escapes me. The pixels on a hi-res screen are smaller
than on a lo-res screen (for the same size monitor), so you would want
a LARGER size, not smaller.
The so-called hi-res version looks better in Lynx (and Links) than the
lo-res version, though it would help if there were ALT strings with
the images.
Besides, all that needs doing is to remove the 126 instances of
'size="1"' attributes from the font tags, and the hi-res page is
(with ALT strings) quite acceptable on any browser (See
http://cfaj.freeshell.org/hires.html); a little cellpadding
helps, too.
