YEAH!!!!
I have to confess, when I've tested whatever JS there is on the site and checked the graphical output of the code, I've used Netscape 4.. I don't like IE, on principle.. YMMV.
Use this link or the link at the top of the page to get back to normal!
Parse.cgi parses a pages in a "custom" format (.par files) into the html the browser sees. Among other features, parse.cgi permits random/ client-dependent/ cookie-dependent text substitutions on the fly, footnotes and easy indexing.
Before you say "that's so stupid, why make another language instead of html", read this. Besides, it basically is html, but with certain enhancements. (Think of it as preprocessor-enabled-html).
You can also see a listing of parse.cgi to get a general feel for the programming sloppiness.. if you're curious about the other maintenance/utility programs in the "suite" after experiencing that horror, well, email me I suppose.
If you're into buzz words I suppose it's DHTML, but in a pretty sick, anachronistic way.
