   * Opera strikes accord with Macromedia *
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Today, Opera Software announced an agreement with Macromedia, 
whereby the two companies will work together to integrate 
their products for the Mac platform. Opera will deliver a 
full-featured, embeddable version of its desktop browser to 
be integrated into a wide range of Macromedia Web development
products. 

Opera and Macromedia will work together to develop and 
maintain an application programming interface (API) for an 
embedded browser on the Mac platform, enabling further 
technical collaboration between the two companies in the 
future. Opera's core technology will be used as default 
browsing technology in a number of Macromedia products on 
the Mac platform and will give users the opportunity to test 
their Web pages with the world's most standards-compliant 
browser.

 * Introduce your Online Service to Opera *
---------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some online  services that do not recognize the
Opera Web browser, and therefore, do not either let you access their
site and/or the page does not display properly.

If you experience such problems with your online service, we
suggest you please contact the organization and let them know that you
are facing difficulties accessing their site using Opera
and refer them to this URL: <http://www.opera.com/why/test/>

Please be so kind as to send an e-mail in English, if possible, to 
<web-compliance@opera.com> including the following information:

-Financial online service contacted
-URL to online service
-Contact address to the bank/e-mail address
-Description of the problem
-Browser identification (Look in file/preferences/network or press 'F12' for Windows)
-which Operating System you are using (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.)

If/when you receive a response from the service, please make sure to forward
