Changes:

03-Apr-00 --- Version 1.2 beta with new features:

You can use both "bottom to top" (usuall in Russia) and "top to bottom"
(usuall in America, I think) directions.

WARNING: some years ago I made some internal "cosmetic" changes
in names of directories of Java classes in shelf.jar.
So if you download the latest version of bookshelf after using
very old one be careful about "code" parameter in your html APPLET tag.
Now it is to be: code=ru.sakva.bsh.Webshelf.class .
