(Full Site for Netscape 3.0+ and IE 3.0+)

If you are using the text-only Lynx browser, an early-version graphical browser, or a browser other than Netscape 3.0+ or Internet Explorer 3.0+, then you have been automatically redirected to this text-only site map. The site map is intended to give access to most of the content of Palinurus without the use of frames or Javascript. Not all pages of the site will be 100%, however, without a browser that at a minimum can render tables and use forms. (Apologies for not having the staffing or funding at this point to maintain parallel sets of full-featured and text-only pages.)
