Ok, Jim. I looked at the files and put together the pages for August from the files
you provided. I did have to change the "oopsie" page from a pdf download to an html
file, since I can't create pdfs. I will send you a zip file shortly.

What's next?

George, forward whatever you want converted to PDF to me. I have a full
version of Acrobat.

Thanks for the offer. I found a free program on the web that converts Word files to
pdf using the print option. Seems to work pretty well. Jim now has to copy or move
the zip files to a directory where I can download them. That takes time, and his
business comes first, of course. I suppose email could also be used, but I don't know
how many issues he could send before my mailbox fills up.

George Patterson took the task on and has done an absolutely splendid job
translating the first article.

To have a looksee a George's handiwork, www.rstengineering.com/kitplanes and go
to the bottom article (July '02).

George, the gang owes you one, and so do I.

The August '02 raw data is posted in the usual place.

Jim

-put it into downloadable format for the rest of the gang?

George...

In terms that any competent history major can understand, can you tell me how
you want me to fix this type mismatch?

Well, the fastest way to fix it is to rename the two files to match the URLs.
Alternately, I can change the URLs in the html file and resend that. If you go the
first route, rename "Kpparts.pdf" to "KPparts.pdf" and rename "Kptext.pdf" to
"KPText.pdf". The difference in names also exists on my computer; the reason I didn't
catch it is that the link still works for me. It didn't show up in testing.

I'll double-check for that sort of thing with August.

Renamed both the files with the KP prefix. Try to break it again, if you would
please.
