chuck asked that i send a quick summary of the new stuff in the
standalone rakim (makes sense)....

here's a quick cut-n-paste from the CHANGES file i shipped with the
tarball (some of the changes won't make sense in the horde version):

---------------------------------------------------------

here are some visible changes, organized by directory:

    admin/
        -remove .htaccess setup, and protect with php login/passwords
        -multiple librarians can now be designated as administrators via
         "edit a librarian"
        -passwords can be changed via form
        -search/display transcripts
        -basic survey reports (only for surveys provided with RAKIM)
        -added margaret's XML/XSLT reports (requires XSLT in your PHP)
        -others....

    librarian/
        -shared scripts/bookmarks in tools.php (if added by admin)
        -review your transcripts
        -link to admin area if you are an administrator; still need to 
         provide your login/password
        -preference editing:
            -can change passwords now
            -can choose to have a larger textarea for message input
        -when other librarians login/logout, the dropdown box with their
         names should now reflect that (except for IE on Macs...buggy DOM
         and JavaScript)

    patron/
        -login uses same window, instead of popping up a new one,
         mainly because of the popup blocking of mozilla (which is a good
         thing ;)

---------------------------------------------------------

anyway, if anyone has any questions, feel free to mail me.....
