Update README.md
Revise heading of this document to give current (not entirely satisfactory) method of getting to the HTML for browsing. Revise the 'download' section since the sql-bnf.tgz file isn't in the repository (and neither should it be).

# BNF Grammars for SQL-92, SQL-99 and SQL-2003
22

3+
This repository contains the BNF (Backus-Naur Form) grammars for three versions of standard SQL — SQL-92, SQL-99 and SQL-2003.
4+
5+
It is still in transition to GitHub.
6+
The links in this README.md file lead to the pages in GitHub.
7+
Most of them will display the HTML source — not a rendered HTML image.
8+
There probably are ways around that; we're learning GitHub as we go.

For a long time, this material was hosted by Ron Savage at
11+
[http://savage.net.au/SQL](http://savage.net.au) — many thanks, Ron! —
12+
but that site now points to here.
13+
14+
At the moment, the suggested method of operation is:
15+
16+
* Clone this repository to your machine — e.g. into the `/home/somebody/SQL` directory
17+
* Point your browser to `file:///home/somebody/SQL/index.html`.
18+
19+
This should give you full HTML access to the material.
20+
Alternatively, you can download the latest release of this material
21+
(instead of cloning the repo), and then extract that into a directory
22+
and point your browser to the `index.html` file in that directory.
23+
24+
Yes: it is sub-optimal.
25+
Yes: we'll fix it when we know how to fix it.
