I have been busy with a million things, such as the plumbing in my house.
In between, with help from Michele Comitini, I have spec'ed out some nice
MySQL database methods of accessing the library. Here is one:

http://lenr-canr.org/index/tabs/tabs.php

This has a lot of nice feature but unfortunately it does not work. The
display is wrong. There are no gridlines. Click on the Detail tab and you
will see how the gridlines are supposed to look. I despair of getting this
problem fixed. The ISP blames the software vendor and vice versa. It works
fine on my computer running under Xampp.

The first screen has some nice features. You can click on as many "+" signs
as you like to see details, click on columns, do a simple quicksearch, or a
more sophisticated search. I have been using it myself to find
papers. Great stuff, if I could just make it work. I have tried another ISP
but they have a different set of problems. Even worse.

I may have to surrender and be assimilated into The Borg with Wordpress or
one of these other wretched programs.
