That's strange, because the information is already on my screen. I.e.
I go to g77_bugs.html, get 94K, then follow a link to something entirely
within the same file I already have, and it reads a whole new one.
Ah, I think I see what's going on now, and your explanation fits it.
Basically, g77_news.html is a complete 94K file containing the
relevant section, but all its links to the info it contains are really
to, e.g., g77_20.html.
So, only the first time somebody follows a link, will it get re-read.
After that, they "live" in the "real" file, and can move around within
links contained therein with no re-reading.
Seems not so bad to me.

Can't help there at this time, I know way too little about this stuff.
