Maurice Randall, I, and Daniel Dallmann are all working on stuff that might end up being a browser, and Maurice is probably farthest along, as he is working on the WAVE, but it's just a term prg at present.

The old site is updated manually, making it hard to maintain. ALso, I wanted to give users the option of including or not including graphics, tables, or comments. So, the new automated system will handle that. No URL yet, as it's too fragile. However, if people would like to help add URLs and beta test it, send me email.

I'm in California. Depending on how far away you are, how many items you want, if they have boxes, and how heavy everything is, the shipping cost usually ranges from $3 to $8 UPS or priority US mail. I don't have time to deal with lots of small transactions, so I need to ask a minimum of $15 worth of items. If you are interested in buying a lot of stuff at once, I will try to make you a deal on the shipping. In general, a few pieces of software cost $4 or $5 to ship. Leaving out the boxes will often significantly reduce the shipping cost. I will only ship within the UNITED STATES and to CANADA.

It evicts the old LCP. You sit and watch after re-running the game, and a new tenant arrives with suitcase, and eventually a new dog.
