The registration data is required to provide you with updates, so it will be kept for a long time;
contact me if you want me to remove the stored information, but keep in mind that in that case I will no longer be able to provide you with updates.
Any tips, remarks or questions e-mailed to me will of course be saved in my e-mail folders.
They will not be transferred to any other person without your "written" (e-mailed) consent.
Any tips, remarks or questions posted to news groups will be considered public material and may be referred to on my web pages — including the author's name or nickname.

Advertisements and other sponsored links on this site will be recognizable as such.
All script-based ads have been removed and banned from this site recently.
Several downloads in the tools/downloads pages are "affiliate links".
I try to be as objective as possible in presenting available downloads; if I can earn a buck that's great, if I can't, too bad, but I'll include it anyway if I find it worthwhile.

JavaScript is used to support easy navigation through this site.
The menu depends heavily on JavaScript, though it will still work when JavaScript is disabled.
Listing the currently used cookies on this page relies on JavaScript.
The unit conversion page relies on JavaScript to calculate the converted values.
The demo on the Roman Numerals Converter also depends on JavaScript.
JavaScript is also used to set and read cookies on this site (see Cookies section)
Most pages on my web site can be read with any browser, though navigation may be a little clumsier without JavaScript.
This site does not use Java.
This site does not use ActiveX, as it would limit access to Internet Explorer only.
On some Windows NT related pages you may get a "popup message" (or dialog) showing extra information, when clicking on a hyperlink.
They are HTML/CSS/JavaScript based and are displayed in the same window.
My goal is to make the information in these pages available to everyone, regardless of the browser or operating system used.
For desktops I think I achieved this goal, but do not expect the same ease of navigation with JavaScript disabled.
Mobile device compatibility is a work in progress... just started, actually.
This site uses JavaScript and CSS for its navigation.
This possibly limits the site to "modern" browsers like FireFox (any), Opera (9 and later?), and Internet Explorer 4 and later....
When I started creating this site, it was still feasible to test each page in most common browser versions.
I also used to test each page in 3 different screen resolutions.
Things have changed.
I simply don't have that many computers with different screen resolutions anymore.
I do occasionally test the pages on my laptop's 1280x800 screen using SIZER, but though that may change the window size, it doesn't scale down the browser fonts proportionally.
SIZER is also great for (preliminary) tests of mobile compatibility, the final tests are run on my smartphone though.
I test my pages with up-to-date versions of FireFox and Chrome on my desktop and smartphone.
If you do run into problems with any of my pages, please notify me at
moc.eduowrednavbor@ofni
; state your browser version and (relevant) settings and the URL of the page that is causing the problem.
I will try to solve the problem as soon as possible.
By default, the menu will not collapse itself when a selection is made.
So if you use the "Back" button, you will find the selected submenu opened on the previous page.
You can change that behaviour by selecting the checkbox below:
With this checkbox selected, the menu will collapse when a selection is made — but only on the page where the selection is made!
To change the menu collapse behaviour requires the permission to set a cookie.
