Yes, it worked a treat while the database was being updated.

Unfortunately no-one has taken on the updating task, or tried to convince
developers to do it, since Paul's sad demise. It is a great pity, because
it was by far the most complete reference to what was available.

If anyone can think of a way to revive the links database, or suggest
another database that could be used instead, I would be glad to hear any
suggestions!
