Gary's site is a great, but he did get the URL wrong. All those back slashes
should be forward slashes (this is a general rule on the web, which is Unix base

Instead of:

use:

http://netnow.micron.net/~gafergus/rakuglaz.htm

and you'll get there!

Interesting comment Robert... and probably correct as well... however, when I
tried to access Gary's site using the address originally given (with
backslashes \\\) ...I still managed to get to his site just fine. Weird... I
know.... but true! Strange place this internet... :-)
