Pop WILL Eat Itself
Notes for version 4.02:

Now a hypertext document!
#Don't you hate these damn Netscape extensions?#

Since this is the first true release version in html, I really need your feedback on how well it works (Or doesn't), and any suggestions for additions or improvements.
WARNING! There are still a bunch of dead-ends in this version. Sorry, but I really wanted to get it out there, and it seems like I'll be tracking down those multiple paths for quite a while!

Note that an interim Version 3.00 was constructed, but saw little or no distribution, as it consisted of a single, enormous file which took way too long to load and navigate through. (And before anyone asks, no, it was never finished, and you can't have a copy... If there's enough interest, I'm willing to try to make a non-html version of this thing, so if that's what you want, please let me know.) This release, Version 4.01, is the first 'official' release since Version 2.08, which was released in February 1995.

There are plenty of new source IDs and interesting comments...
Uncredited comments are still leftovers from previous versions of the list - contributors are unknown. If anyone can fill in the blanks, drop me a line.

Entirely new to this version, are the reference sections on some of the Poppies' favorite sample sources. I've started things out with what info I have, and Tezzer provided a bunch of links and info as well, but many entries could use fleshing out. (In some cases, I had little or nothing to say about a particular source, so I really need your help on this.) I'm on the prowl for more/better Icons, etc. too. Also, I think it's likely that I've misidentified the genre or style of some of the musical sources. If so, please let me know. If anyone thinks there should be more, fewer, or different source categories listed, I'd be interested in hearing about that too!

Another area of concern to me is the issue of how this document works with various web-browsing software clients. I did the development using Netscape and the Delphi Beta version of Netscape Navigator on a PC in local mode only, and am pleased with the results. Unfortunately, the document is not so successful when accessed with the latest available alpha version of Mosaic for Windows. I may have installed Mosaic improperly, (I hate Windows!) because the normal text does not wrap at the edges of the window, and the various headings and styles do not stand out from the normal text. Also, Mosaic takes forever to move around through the documents on my 486DX33 (8meg RAM). Netscape sometimes 'burps' if a link is clicked on while the document is refreshing itself, but that only sends you to the top. Anyway, I would very much appreciate comments pro or con concerning these issues. The main difference between this version and V3.00 is that this one is loaded with graphics and is broken up into a bunch of smaller files. I'm hoping that this will help with the speed problem. Another proposed modification is to cross link this list with Tezzer's Discography (http://kzsu.stanford.edu/uwi/pwei/pweidisc.html). Alison and I have already laid the groundwork for some of this, but it needs work.

Note: Due to my inability to get this thing out the door in a timely manner (I started the HTML implementation in early March!), some contributions marked as "New" in this list actually appeared in V2.08 and/or V3.00. Also, I think I may have lost a couple of submissions in the process of starting/stopping/restarting my work on this (yeah, again...) so if you had sent me something between February and now that doesn't appear in the list (And wasn't superseded by someone else beating you to the punch...), please send me a very nasty note, including the contribution I lost, so that I can make things right.

So yeah, I'm BEGGING you for feedback! Email to:
