I checked it out to see what it was like. It seems to
be in table form without the table, i.e., excel or
some such thing. Maybe if they just put the authors'
names in list form, like word or rtf, the way it was
before, it wouldn't stress the database. All those
extras lines
that divide the authors' names don't seem necessary.
If it worked before, it ought to work now, I should
think--though I'm definitely not an engineer. grin
