Oh, I thought you had released that one entirely.

Not that it would matter much.

Thank you! I tend to agree, be willing to pitch in but I suppose quite
possibly at that low cost it's more expensive to figure out how to share
it...


FWIW, github now says:

   radiotap.org is improperly configured
   
   Domain does not resolve to the GitHub Pages server. For more
   information, see Learn more (NotServedByPagesError). We recommend you
   add an A record pointed to our IP addresses, or an ALIAS record
   pointing to radiotap.github.io.
   

Still works for www.radiotap.org, so I guess all is well, and as before,
just that it complains now somehow.

(I didn't even know there was an "ALIAS" record, hah!)

Again, thanks!
