What's new
This web site was designed (maybe stretching the meaning of the word) with Microsoft FrontPage, a very simplistic design tool, which Microsoft withdrew support from about 20 years ago but it still functioned. It became completely unavailable in 2025 and I used the follow-up program, Microsoft Expression Web 4. This has more functionality but has the frustrating effect that what you see in design (some fonts and layout) is not what is then shown on the web page, and this seems to be very inconsistent and in some cases not rectifiable.
