[GLLUG] cross-plat

[Charles Williams]

Thanks also. In 98 the site was probably as cross-platform as possible.
Since then more emphasis on graphic appearance = more complications; i.e.
tables. The URL has empty slots for parameters that will get loaded and
passed on later pages. Some of those nulls are from earlier versions. The
comments are much appreciated. Deeper in of course I know of possible
trouble spots but the home page gets all the attention.
