Hi, Bert -

Long time no hear!

I suspected as much. I tend to use a combination of raw coding, Homesite and
Dreamweaver, these days, as it dumps out MUCH cleaner code!

I'm fairly certain that it's something to do with Composer, the wysiwyg part
of the Netscape Navigator suite, but wanted to be sure, just in case.

I didn't find any generator tags, so either he used another editor
afterwards, or removed the meta tags before handing over maintenance to me.

Oh, well. At least I know I can dump those elements safely, now.

Thanks for the help!
