Important noteL A lot of work went into building this particular page back in 1997. It was updated a couple of years later. This page was done when I was first learning how to do Web pages and has not been tinkered with since other than design. There may be errors. I do not plan any updates in the near future due to the tremendous amount of time it takes to program. I am sure there are easier and quicker ways to do this than I have chosen, but my time these days is very limited. I do treasure this page though and want to keep it alive despite it being so dated.
