I've removed the symlink index.html -> Home.html.

I've renamed Andrew's graphic_home.html to index.html and fixed the
source tree & src/RCS files to match.

Lynx browsers are redirected to Home.html, which is regenerated hourly
from Home.tmpl as normal.

I've created a symlink force_graphic.html -> index.html, in case someone
wants to see what the new homepage looks like in Lynx. I wouldn't
recommend making a link to this in any real HTML.

# michael 2 jun 2000: redirect older browsers to Home.html
RewriteCond     %{REQUEST_FILENAME}     ^/(index.html)?$
RewriteCond     %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}      Lynx
RewriteRule     (.*)                    /Home.html      [R]

The last column in the second RewriteCond can be any extended regular
expression - we can expand it to redirect whatever older browsers we need.
If you have a problem report, please send it to ccn-tech along with the
browser name and version and the User-Agent string it reports, which you
can determine by loading this page:
