Hi Kurt, Thank you for the information here. Basically, in the notes "How To Use FANTC" I discuss Internet Explorer displaying the same message. I tested version IE6. It identify's a script on the page is causing the system to run slowly and should then give you the option to stop or continue the script. If you continue, the script should run all the way through (but it can be slow if detail is too high). I use Netscape 4.7 and haven't tried it on version 6. It sounds like Netscape 6 is following IE's lead on scripts which tie up the system. Versions 4 seems to have no problem. The system's resources are obviously being consumed by the script. I'll have to look into this. But yes, you can download the zip file which contains everything. Just extract to an empty directory.Call up fantc.html and everything should load. You will still have the same message appear, but I would be interested to know if it runs faster directly. http://www.classictesla.com/fantc/ Keep me informed.
