From the "Use The Back Door" department: Lockergnomie Elmer Standish has a good tip for when you encounter missing files or pages. It's frustrating When you surf the Web and stumble upon 'File Not Found' errors. These usually happen when personal pages change or accounts get deleted. If the '404' URL is: http://www.lockergnome.com/~biggs/software.htm -- try removing the 'software.htm' to see if the 'biggs' account is still active. Just "peel" away the layers one by one (starting with the last section) to see if you get anywhere. It may not work every time, but it's better than giving up!
