Oh hey, I like gratuitous mouseovers as much as the next site designer.
Us 'em myself quite often :) But yes, in this case one assumes that the
"popped up" tables of contents will be links, which they aren't; and when
one passes the mouse over the non-links they disappear and yet another
image pops up (well, actually the default image for that cell, but it's still
totally confusing.)

Actually, I'm not sure about that... I found the PCDocs site while looking
up search engine applications: the freeWAIS links I found were mostly
dead, and a link to www.wais.com -- which I assume (but don't know for
certain) is the original WAIS project -- automatically redirects to the
PCDocs site. Either way, WAIS, in whatever incarnation, seems to be
somewhat moribund by now...
