Hmm, we're indeed stuck with the problem then, John, when webviz 
disappears in due course. It does seem strange, though, that they'd 
test updates/bug fixes on an already out of date version of their 
code.

Meantime I tried CdC version 3, but could not find an 'Internet 
Resources' function similar to that in 2.76.

The Vizier resource worked for years.  But as they said, "if your 
program is following properly the HTTP conventions"- CdC's code 
doesn't follow this convention, since + should be coded as %2B (just 
as you may sometimes see spaces coded as "%20", or tilde ("~") as %
7E.  Some symbols should not be used in URLs, and CdC violates this 
convention.
