Before you say "in your browser" you may want to check a few. Unless I have
missed something it does not work in firefox or opera.

Agreed...my bad
Before you say "it does not work" -- perhaps you should ask "Why not"?
Mozilla certainly has the capability to show local HD files -- perhaps
it the 'protocol'

file:///
or
man:///

I'll try to look into it further.....

That's why xman exists: postscript has a purpose. HTML is a poor
substitue offline.

[Most below pertains to Browsers only, I guess]

Actually IMNSHO, that's the ONLY place html has any relevance
(locally), and should stay Off the Internet, *especially* out of email
-- but not so much so as Javascript-o-bozo-crud and VBS and all that
other ghastly code like Macrocrap, and it's Shockshit, and Java
applets, etc.

But, truth be told, I'm not PostScript 'literate', and know very little
about it..

On a related note;
[ Remember I'm only sharing my experience and do not profess to
'know-it-all' - I'm just n a bit of a ranting mood ]

I find it excrusciatingly painful to have to go through the process(es)
each time I'd like to review a tar.gz file stored locally -- and if
that isn't bad enough; AFAIK One would need to extract it's contents,
just to have any Contextual menu options, when viewing in an embedded
viewer (browser centric).

Regards

p.s. My Debian system is on the fritz atm...I upgraded twice today
(Sarge -> Etch) all was well -- but then again from Etch-> Unstable,
and it's all broken atm... but I'll fix it. I say this; because I can't
really follow up with configuring/installing/searching for (xman)
packages I was unaware of, and such right now.

Before I said "it does not work" I said "Unless I have
missed something".
