Tripod has instituted GZIP software compression for MIDIs. MP3s, Javascript, and some other file types for sites hosted on their servers. Because of this, visitors to these sites using Netscape 4.7 and earlier will be unable to access anything compressed with this software. Angelfire will be implementing the same technology with websites hosted by them in the near future. While 5-10% of Internet users have Netscape 4.7, they feel this browser version is old enough that they no longer need to support it. Anyone who uses the Tripod/Angelfire servers to host their sites should be aware of this in case they have complaints from viewers using the older Netscape browser. All pages function fine with IE 5+ and Netscape 6+.
