This has been covered here before, but since Marc is out of town I'll rehash:
Marc's site was hosted on Simplenet, which was subsequently bought out (along
with much of the rest of the universe) by Yahoo. This eventually led to
the old Simplenet URLs (something.simplenet.com) being replaced by individual
domain names under the Yahoo regime.
Hence, the ufo.simplenet.com address is obselete. Yahoo maintains those
old addresses for around six months or so, but eventually deletes them,
after which time anyone still using them will just get a "does not exist"
error message. So, if you've got a bookmark for Marc's site, make sure it
points to the current address of
http://ufoseries.com .
This also applies to my frame capture library, which was in the same situation.
The current URL for that is
http://framecaplib.com , and if you are using
the Simplenet URL it's likely to quit working any time now.
