Reply from Oscar van Vlijmen:
Let's talk about modern desktop browsers like the Windows and Macintosh
versions of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Those
browsers have a built-in FTP-client. As soon as they encounter a xxx.htm or
xxx.html file on a FTP-served site, they display the contents in a
HTML-window.
I do not know how the Unix browsers react, but it is possible that it is
not necessary to serve the WWW.htm tz-page through a HTTP-port of the
NIH-server.
It is however a very good idea to maintain an up to date mirror of this
page, for instance at twinsun.com.
