It never really got off the ground, so it never had an on-line version. If it had, it would have been updated manually, which needs a volunteer to manage. There are certainly better solutions available now, but it will take someone to manage it. A lot of the tests I had then are now covered by the ACATS in some fashion, so there isn't quite the need to have them available that there was in the early 1990s. Randy.
