So publishing will simply change nature. I have to disagree here. Most `professional' websites I've seen are bells-and-whistles, machine-generated, java-overkill, visually formatted. Many amateur ones are clear and simple, hand-written, no unnecessary flashy stuff and concentrate on content not presentation. :) Also, many folks don't realise that accessing something from across the world is not as fast as doing it on their local machine. -- Phillip Helbig Email ......... p.helbig@jb.man.ac.uk Nuffield Radio Astronomy Laboratories Tel. .... +44 1477 571 321 (ext. 297) Jodrell Bank Fax ................ +44 1477 571 618 Macclesfield Telex ................ 36149 JODREL G UK-Cheshire SK11 9DL Web ... http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~pjh/
