[WEB4LIB] All-in-one search page with a twist.

[Edward Spodick, HKUST Library, 2358-6743]

Dang - first crash of the week - apparantly from this URL.  Windows 98, Netscape 4.7 and IE 5, computer hung with frozen pointer - ctrl-alt-del ineffective - hard boot required.  Time for coffee.  I'll try again later - maybe it is just because the machine has been running fine for a week and jumping here as the second URL after our holiday weekend just confused it...  :)
