   1) To Gary (and all): what other campus apps are in some
      manner dependent on ActiveX, and/or on the use of Microsoft
      Internet Explorer for Windows?

   2) The Hyperion Intelligence Client, used by BAIRS,
      is implemented as browser plug-ins for both
      Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla-based
      Netscape browsers.

      Regarding the latter:

      Has anyone have experiences to share from using BAIRS with Firefox,
      or with the "tested, supported" browsers, Netscape 7.01, 7.02, or 7.1?
