Well, so far the 'nightflight' URI is the only one that I find is working. I'm
wondering why they would make the change and have their other (regular?) links end
up in 403 errors, and I'm wondering why http://www.foldoc.org/ is going to 403, too.
I hope they get the problem fixed, but for now the only working FOLDOC link I'm
finding is http://www.nightflight.com/foldoc/
FOLDOC is too good a resource to lose, in my opinion.
