Sometime during the spring or summer, someone put up
a program or a link to a tool that graphically showed the various
versions of Darwin's major work.

Did someone keep it?
If so, I would like a link to it.

Thanks greatly.
That link eventually lead to this:

http://darwin-online.org.uk/Variorum/1866/1866-90-c-1869.html

which is what I was actually looking for to verify the opening
statement in the Tautology FAQ.

Google is playing silly buggers as usual and I'm sorry to say a search
of my own archive has drawn a blank.

Thanks greatly for trying.
If my new computer arrives before the Christmas
holidays I will be switching back to an offline reader,
preferably one that will allow me to create my own
searchable archive.

My problem has always been finding a search that produces 1 or more
hits rather than zero or "bloody hell are there that many!"

For example, I know at one point I posted a link to a video that
showed how a cell could evolve from non cellular life. But can I find
it? Nah!

Twice I managed to get exactly one hit for a search. Sadly, both times
it happened when I was checking to see if a student had plagiarized
their work. They had.
