it just hit me. there is a project on the web, i beleive it is at http://www.archive.com that is endeavaoring to catalog every website ever put up on the web in one vast online museaum library. so the sites that are or have disappeared that you mourn, may well be over there at their collection! mourn not, until you have checked for sure. the original site may be gone now, but the archive may have caught it before it disappeared! those downloads may not be gone yet. go see. if the url fails, look up a search for 'the internet archive'. i know i have it,. Ill bring it here when i retrieve it. janet http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
