There is a particularly stupid firewall program out there - signs point to one of the Norton products - which interprets the title of UF/FI/S3M1, Ad Astra, as an advertisement, and prevents the links to that file on the S3 index page and the UF chron listing from appearing in its users' web browsers.So if you see that happening, no, I did not mysteriously remove part of the Symphony; your firewall program is crap. --G.
