I think it's good too :-)  And pointing into a subsection is more difficult :-)

That's because the links, which appear to you to be in the same file are
actually in different files.

ie, you started by looking at g77_news.html  When you follow a link you'll
find that you actually go into something like g77_20.html

If there's a better way to do this I'm open to suggestions.

Please do.

That should be fine since I'll spin the release on Friday after updating
the version #s and the like.
