November 3, 1999: New default navigation menu

July 14, 1999: New acronym categories and paging system
Since the old method that grouped the acronyms according to their first letter yielded too many acronyms for many categories, we decided to split those categories in subcategories and to add a paging system that limits the number of acronyms returned per page yet allowing the user to browse through pages.
 
June 25, 1999: New menu panels
If you experience troubles using the Java menu applet, these other menu systems may be helpful. See http://acronyms.ch/SelectMenu.html
