TinyURLa are merely "handles" pointing to the same file on the the same server as that pointed to by the longer address for which they substitute.

"tiny urls" can be had by going to http://www.tinyurl.com, entering a non tiny url in the box and harvesting the tiny one when the softwhere deals one out. i should have done that but am too damned lazy. c ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
