It did not work for me -- I got to the Interpreter pages, then clicked
the two links there and got this in NS's JS log:
JavaScript Error: http://giguere.dsc.uqam.ca/FreeCard/FC.cgi:
Page is not defined.

I imagine this is the JavaScript version of a 404. Added to the fact
that many of the pages look truncated (at the beginning, no less), the
navigation bar up top does not work, etc., I think I'm really beginning
to like plain old HTML...
BTW: There are some NuParser snapshots -- see:

Note: NetScape mangles the colors. iCab gets it right.
GraphicsConverter gets it right. Don't use NetScape.

The idea is to emphasize that Nuparser is _not_ just for FreeCard. It
is a general purpose tool that should be usable anywhere.

Alain, remember that the Interpreter's speed is solely responsible for
the spped of ALL scripts run. Every millisecond saved counts.
