This post is about 85mb. It is a book. It is in pdf format. There are no sneaky little bugs hiding in it.

If I get it all, I'll bung it on a website and post a link. Cheers, Gary B-) |

Check), where I believe some might actually appreciate knowing about nearly every detail of the Buff livery. alt.binaries.e-book.technical might have been an appropriate place. Many similar aviation books in .pdf format have been posted there. Nevertheless, thank you for a most interesting book. Indeed. Posting PARs would also have been helpful. ------ Robert Uncommon Aircraft: http://fire.prohosting.com/hud607/uncommon |

And now for something completely different...

(in article 1240069817.97424@athprx03): "hielan' laddie" wrote ... .............................................. The file in question comes in 248 parts. To access it in MSOE you'd have to select all 248 parts, download them, combine them in some way, and then decode them with one the myriad free .RAR decoders. (I usually use QuickPAR on Windows or MaccPAR Deluxe on Macs) Note that if you use a real newsreader, such as Free Agent or MT-NW, you can download all 248 parts with one click. If you insist on using MSOE, you're going to be working too hard when you try to download multi-segment binary posts. This is because MSOE was not designed to be a real newsreader and you are trying to use it for activities which are beyond its specs. You can waste time using MSOE, or you can ignore large binaries, or you can get a real newsreader. Pick one. It's up to you. Or all this surreal druggery can be bypassed by simly plonking down a URL for people to click on and get the file. Easier (and cheaper!) to post it to USENET as normal, and let those who want it get it... or not. I see no particular reason to spend _my_ money to make life easier for others who decline to use free or cheap tools. Free Agent is free. QuickPAR is free. MT-NW is free. MacPAR Deluxe is free. You can use 'em, or not. It's all the same to me. And, of course, there is the simple fact that if you _do_ post something with a URL telling the local denizens where to find your stuff, some people (Hi, Alan-me-lad! Still haven't reported my 'forged' headers to Newsguy, eh?) will scream that you're spamming the group, so you end up paying good money to be slandered. Thanks, but no thanks. |

How about giving a blow by blow about how to read the files with Microsoft OE, using what free program (totally free, not trial, not pay by using an advertisers product. I am fairly smart with a computer, but I could not figure it out in a reasonable period of time, and gave up. I gotta think there is a better way. There may be a reason to depart from the file formats that have been used here for decades but danged if I can figure out what it is. |
