# preceding command is not needed to prevent link to self.  If newest file is unchanged, find conditions will not be satisfied..
# 3/14 find only seems to pass through once.
# 3/14 when "newest.html" is browsed, relative links are messed up.  the 
# browser has to be redirected rather than the server.  This means that newest.html has to be a real html file and the macro has to modify its contents.
