Some new stuff in the directories horn and strings.

I am indebted to Nathan Sharfi for totally reorganizing the web page of
pan.zipcon. It was a heroic effort, as there was considerable mess.
Included were important help for Windows and Mac users, -- how to get free
music players and how to use wget for download. This contribution is a
milestone in the popularization of ogg-vorbis. See readme.html in
the root directory of http://pan.zipcon.net

There are changes however, which according to the error logs have
caused grief to those not reading the new readme file.

In http://pan.zipcon.net the music directory has been changed from mp3 to
vorbis.

There are no longer any mp3 files on pan. These files now reside on
http://gas.zipcon.net

I am also indebted to Giuliano Pochini for his code for preserving
directory links when downloading with wget. The Apache server does not
preserve symbolic links in the download. What happens is that instead of
one directory of files with another directory pointing to it, there
are dupicate files downloaded. This is a bad waste of bandwidth.

Downloading with wget will no longer generate duplicate files, and
the links are preserved and can be used by clicking on the index.html
files in each directory.

Please squawk about bugs!
