If you change that first FRAMESET statement so it reads
COLS="67,*" you'll find that the gap disappears - it's caused by
IE stretching the frames to fit a screen size larger than the 517
pixels you specified - it stretches both frames to fit.

It wasn't the addition of FRAMESPACING that caused the problem -
it was the addition of a BODY tag to a FRAMESET document!  :-)

By the way - I *do* hope you're going to put something a little
more helpful in the NOFRAMES section before the page goes live.
:-)  It'll help you get indexed in search engines as well as
helping users who can't use a frames enabled browser - search
engines can't follow links to framed documents.
