Thread Name: Scottish Glossary Index - for slow computers
Subject: RE: Scottish Glossary
Dicho: You didn't really do anything wrong but your computer doesn't know what to do with a .cfm (or an .asp or a few other generated pages). But here's a tip - when you save, change the extension to .html (& might as well change the filename to ScotGlos.html while you're at it.) That will load fine. It's still a big file so Netscape may still take a while, depending on your computer.

You might then (if you're adverturous or crazy) load it with Word for Windows (may take a while), Save as a Word doc, convert all the tables to text and save again. This will work & load easily & quickly.

Or just Save the html as a txt file. I tried this & it all lined up nicely as a reasonable, well-behaved file.
