     25<h3><a NAME="targ0">About Sphlow:</h3> 
     26Sphlow was written to model metallurgical processes involving flotation of 
    2127inclusions, such as tundishes or electron beam melting hearths. Inclusions 
    2228are second-phase particles, such as oxide or nitride impurities, tungsten

    142 <p>Though Sphlow Java 0.2 has been successfully tested on Netscape 3.01 
    143 and 4.05 for Irix and Netscape 3.01 and 4.05 for PowerPC Mac, I have heard 
    144 it doesn't work on Sandia Mac Netscape 3. My guess is that this is 
    145 because the classes are not signed. 
    146143<p>The javascript layers business seems to be broken on newer versions 
    147144of Netscape. Oh well, I may try to fix it someday.</div>
