Hello......

Don't know if this will help, but here goes. I have used FirstPage 2000 for
several months now, and am very pleased with the results. For a free
download, it is a nice little tool. I use IE 5 as my primary browser, but I
also have Netscape and Opera downloaded. I have Paint Shop Pro 7, Ability
Office 2000, Amabilis 3D Canvas.  I use WS-FTP95LE for uploading my pages.
I have never had any of them conflict with each other. In fact, it is not
unusual for me to have FirstPage, PSP, and WS-FTP all open simultaneously,
with my browser window and my Outlook Express open as well. Oh, I also run
Yahoo Messenger and ICQ.

Hope this is what you were looking for.
Dusty
