I'll try to get it tomorrow or Saturday. All Susan did was go to each of the documents and perform a "save as html." It surprises me that it came out as some proprietary Apple format but maybe the Mac zip program does something to html? I would find this to be sort of weird but, with Apple, one never knows what can and cannot be done easily.


Does anyone still have the email address for Adam from Floss Manuals? He had originally offered to make the tar ball and put it somewhere we can get at it.

I'll be back in St. Petersburg tomorrow evening. A friend of mine and I have been in Alabama cleaning sea birds and we've stopped at a favorite fishing area in Florida to spend a day.

It's nice being somewhere that doesn't smell of tar.

Elf reported to the list that the 40 or so files were in a Macintosh .WebSite format that he could not access. He was going to search for a tool that would enable him to open the files, but no one knew of a Windows-based one that could definately do the job.

Can't you post the collection in a zip archive somewhere (DreamHost, SendSpace, or whatever)?

I think Susan did a handoff to Mr. Elf a couple of weeks ago.

I've been covered in tar and feathers volunteering on the clean-up in Alabama all week so this effort hasn't even crossed my mind in the slightest.

PS: Please call me to discuss the things I left on your voice mail last week.

Can we get a status update on making an accessible collection of these available?
