Version 1.33:
11.03.2002:
Changed JS-Code of Navigation to allocate images in the right size instead of just "new Image();"

Rewritten the Download Section. It uses now MySQL to retrieve Metadata for all archives. This avoids the date problems when updating the archives, as all required datas are now taken from MySQL. Also a download counter is now implemented.
Version 1.32:
22.02.2002:
