}
}

function slideshowlinks(){
for (i=0;i<slideshowlinks.arguments.length;i++)
slidelinks[i]=slideshowlinks.arguments[i]
}

function gotoshow(){
if (!window.winslide||winslide.closed)
winslide=window.open(slidelinks[whichlink])

function slideit(){
if (!document.images)
return
document.images.slide.src=slideimages[whichimage].src
whichlink=whichimage
if (whichimage<slideimages.length-1)
