Switched the search function on the main page to a new .cgi
script, modified from focalmedia.net.
It seems to run a little slow, but gives more accurate results than
the previous Javascript version. |

Revamped the home page, livingunderworld.org. If you are
having trouble viewing the page because of the iFames, you can view a
non-framed version at livingunderworld.org/netscape.htm.
Netscape users should be redirected to this page automatically from
