I'm pretty certain IE 8 will simply use standards mode as defined by
the doctype. Less than IE 8 would of course ignore this. In this case,
it wouldn't make a difference.

I don't see any "stretching". The lines differ in length, yes - but not
because of "font stretching", but because the text in each line also
differs. There is no difference between opening the ind.htm in IE,
Firefox or as HTA.

The different line lengths *is* part of the issue. Using a valid doctype 
and a
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9">
gets the HTA displaying the text exactly the same as IE 9 does.

Certainly SEEK.HTA (via
<http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/programs/32-bit/00index.htm>)
can do what an HTM ought to be unable to do.

SEEK.(HTA|BAT) are the only routines I know of that can search for
hidden files in the current sub-tree whose names contain 'qq' and have
sizes between 1087 & 23456 bytes and were last accessed on the Tuesday
of an even-numbered week, except for Americans.
