DELIVERING WML (was: More on Wireless Librarian)

[John Harvey]

For users of Dreamweaver, Nokia has developed "WML Studio", a free extension
that allows the creation of WML (wireless markup language) within
Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG editor. It includes a preview function that emulates
several wireless handset displays (all Nokia; imagine that).

You can find it at http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/

wants, and the other is getting it.  -Oscar Wilde
