BRL 2.1.20: friendlier installation; search results; column sorting

[Bruce Lewis <brlewis at users dot sourceforge dot net>]

My previous queries about continuing to send announcements to the kawa
and lispweb lists was answered positively, except that one person
wanted them shorter for bandwidth considerations.  Accordingly I've
shortened the intro.

BRL 2.1.19 released 2000-11-15		http://brl.sourceforge.net/

	* A kawa-brl package is now available for servlet engines that
	cannot handle Kawa's use of findSystemClass().  The error
	message was ClassDefNotFound: gnu/expr/ModuleBody.

	* The pre-compiled classes are in a jar file now rather than a
	zip file.

	* The manual now includes an example illustrating a search
	results page that is secure from malicious input and allows
	column sorting that reverses and nests in the style users are
	accustomed to seeing in GUIs.

	* New functions were added: sql-order-member, brl-url-arg-seq,
	brl-starts-with?, brl-ends-with?, brl-implementation-version


BRL is a language designed for server-side WWW-based applications,
particularly database applications. It is based on Scheme, which makes
the syntax extremely simple yet powerful. This implementation is a
Java Servlet using the Kawa Scheme compiler.  For more information see
