     I have a full copy of the program - but haven't loaded it on my system 
     yet.  This is a good excuse to do so.  Please let me know a couple of 
     the URLs you are interested in testing it against, and by next Tuesday 
     or so I will have loaded Panorama and tested it against those sites.

I tried sending this on Friday, with no apparent success.  Apologies in 
advance for any duplication....

Has anybody out there tried to use SoftQuad Panorama to read SGML documents 
on-line?
     
So far I have failed to get Panorama to work.  I downloaded it (the freeware 
version, that is) from the SoftQuad site, set it up on Windows 3.1, and 
configured Netscape 3.0 Gold to launch it when encountering an .sgml file. 
But whenever I try to follow a link to such a file, I get a series of 
on-screen error messages that tell me that PANORAMA.EXE has caused a general 
protection fault, etc.
     
I also tried configuring Netscape to download SGML files to my hard-drive, 
so that I could launch Panorama by itself and use it locally.  However, when 
I tried this, a message came on-screen saying that only Panorama *PRO* 
allows you to read SGML files from the hard-drive.
     
Any suggestions for getting Panorama to work the way it's supposed to would 
be most appreciated.
