4) Certain windows will 'jiggle' as you attempt to resize them, seemingly
resizing and then snapping back to their original size. This is annoying,
but we're not sure what is causing it.

5) Some versions of Internet Explorer, coupled with certain version of
Windows98/NT seemed to crash with v1.0 of ResizeEnable. We don't have that
setup on any of our test machines so we can't test it. But, we have done a
little bit more work so ResizeEnable is a bit more choosy as to which
windows it can work with. So it -might- not crash anymore. If it still
crashes, then all we can suggest at the moment is that you upgrade to
Internet Explorer 6. We're not Microsoft pushers, but Internet Explorer 6
has better error reporting and shouldn't just explode without warning.

6) Some Microsoft applications have dialogs that can be resized, but none
of their contents move. This is down to the fact that the contents of the
dialog ARE NOT STANDARD MICROSOFT CONTROLS! They are some bastardisation
written specially for the application. They may look like normal
buttons/drop downs, but they sure as heck aren't! Hence, ResizeEnable can't
tell them to move or resize. Yet again, Microsoft ignore their own codebase
and reinvent the wheel. And people wonder why their applications are so
big..
