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?
