thanks to Karla Tonella of U Iowa, <ktonella@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu>
hnetters can now have their own on-line www guide. Here's what
Karla did:
I took the email H-Net sent out about web resources and
turned it into a web page. I tested all sites, made a few
adjustments and added a couple of sites. I added WebCrawler,
my favorite, under search tools and since you had a link to
Australian radio, I thought it only fair to link to Canadian
and US public broadcasting sites. I'm sending the marked up
page below. Lynx users can simply export or save the email
message in their home directory and use it by starting Lynx
with lynx h-net.html (works for me anywa)y Netscape users
can load the file to their local hard drive and "Open File
-- h-net.html" to use it.
