Good Morning Everyone,  Well it's morning in Kansas City.

I received the following from Dick. This response applies to the site
index comments, I addressed his request with a direct response.

I've written a program to generate the site map file in html.  This
program uses the actual file names.  The only conversion I've done is
that files with both letters and numbers are listed twice, the file
n0uf.jpg is listed under 'N' and under '0' hopefully to make it easier
to find.

This means that the actual file names are displayed on the site index
page.  Most file names used prior to my deciding to offer a site index
are somewhat cryptic, shorter and easier to type, a very acceptable
programming practice.  I've tried to make the later file names more
meaningful(longer).

I've also undertaken a project to rename, where appropriate, all files
on the QCWA site.  It's a long slow process.  Many files are accessible
from multiple locations and each location must be changed to reflect the
new file name or we (I) end up with many broken links.  I'm also working
a better way to display the files so they
will be easier to read.  I'm not sure how long this project will take,
it's being done in my free time.
