Can't see reference to this anywhere (I did try a search).
Just wanted to say, well done Ian. What a fine idea to put them on here.
I seem to recall putting a lot of effort into creating the CD archive a few years back - great to see it being used and expanded on.
They are at the bottom of the page on my computer when I look at the forum index.

No idea how you worked that search function out ....... but thanks to your efforts we have them here.

The search was pretty straightforward really - it ran a GREP across text-only versions of the NLs and returned hits, along with the issue reference it found the hits in, then offered a quick link to open that issue in the original PDF form. It's main failing was that I had to scan the early NLs and some of the OCR files I generated were a bit iffy at times due to quality issues.
Having them here is far more accessible.
Of Course it did...... obvious really.......Quote:

That would be like the big end thingy attached to the widget knuckle, turning a 1/4 turn bacwards...I think....!!
Know idea what you said but worked a treat all the same.....lol

Mind you, if I had a day job that meant I could play about with Stratos' and the like all the time I would be happy :D
Any enthusiasm I may once have had for computers and computing has long since been beaten out of me......apart from the fact I do rather like my new iMac. It works, and I don't have to dick about with it.

It wouldn't be so bad if I was actually in that business! I'm a Broadcast Engineer....when I started, it was all decidedly analogue. Nowadays, there's virtually (!) nothing that's not either computer controlled or entirely computer based.
Computing used to be a hobby.....not any more.

Quite a culture shock for many. I was never into it as a hobby or gaming either, maybe having it as my day job, by the time you got home enough was most definitely enough.
