There's a problem with prcs this morning - I went to sol to get a copy of
the working files, but was unable to extract a copy of #69 there, getting
a message that the project was empty - I checked the filedates in the PRCS
tree, and it is untouched since last night.

Once I get a copy of #69's files, I'll be better able to evaluate your
change (you should note, however, that we've already made several interface
changes to the WWW library).
