Subject: bbcdocs website problem

Rick, your emails always make me smile, and I'm always surprised by the
amount of content you manage to cram into them.

Anyway, whilst "you geeks" fix the worlds big IT problems, the rest of
us have to find work arounds and solutions so that the people who pay
for the hardware and software can use it in order to do work (or have
fun). If the rest of us had to wait for fixes we'd all go bust :-(

Glad to have given you a smile. ;-)

We geeks work on the principle of fixing the big problems first. To us, 
the big problem is the software used. Sort that, then we can worry about

how to download a file!

If it was me, I'd give up on BBCDocs for now.

The Econet Advanced User Guide did not load for me. Stepping back in the

URL, to http://www.bbcdocs.com/filebase/econet/ I see a blank screen 
saying only "Parent directory".

If you look at http://www.bbcdocs.com/filebase/hardware/ you'll see a 
bunch of files.

It would appear that the files listed don't match the files actually 
present, hence there are likely to be various disparities... Mmmm...


Best wishes,

Rick.
