What a great thread Grant started. Thanks Grant. BTW: searching the server
at the WebSPHINX applet died, as did searching the Web.
Keep in mind that WebL is free and open source, but subject to one
condition: you don't get a license to distribute the WebL code with your
project -- it must be downloaded from the web site. I haven't investigated
the ability to apply for a license to distribute WebL; don't think it's
needed for what we are doing.
