Announcement: major site revision

[Jian Liu]

I found something very interesting: from this page, if you click on
General, and then scroll down a little and click on Atlapedia Online 
(item 16). This linked site has some neat javascript, attached below,
that can break away from the frame. 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- 
   if (top.frames.length > 1) {
        top.location="http://www.atlapedia.com/index.html";
}
// -->
