I was able to display the site.   However, I will contact the authors
and let them know that some people are having trouble with it.  The
digital moboard is not about web sites anyway.    They simply put
up a quick web site to provide information about their software.

For those who were able to access the site, the two Naval officers
doing the development are continuing to expand the capabilities of
their software.    If the Navy eventually adopts it on a larger scale,
it will be an excellent Ada project.    Of course, if one of our large
military contractors gets hold of it, it will probably get translated
into C++, the price tag multiplied by several orders of magnitude,
and the entire project washed out to sea in an empty beer bottle.
