Hi Al and List,
A slight correction. I have the ENTIRE Y2K manual done EXCEPT I need someone to send me the
drawing files. (Ahem, which I have asked for for the last 6 months.)
To answer Craigs question of why:
1. Some of the PDF pages would be OK on screen but would not print properly.
2. Many of the tables had widows and orphan splits between pages.
3. There was a lot of extra space and the column spacing wasn't uniform.
4. I added pages to each chapter so that the new chapter starts on an odd page.
5. With the space reduction, the new manual is about 15-20 pages shorter.
6. I added the component values to each component. Previously, for example R4XX would be listed
"as the same as R3XX". When you went to R3XX it would then say "same as R1XX". This is bad
karma causing foul language to ensue.
7. The manual was in PDF form. Mine is in both MS Word AND Acrobat 5 PDF so it can be edited to
an individuals needs.
8. I have downloaded almost 500 megs of associated files that could be inserted to the manual if
one wished.
Finally, I have downloaded ALL the R390 list files. They have been converted to MS Word 6
files and Acrobat 5 PDF files. All the redundant posts were removed so a months worth of posts
now takes up 80 percent less space.
We're rehabbing a house 80 miles away from where we live and its eating time like crazy.
With dial up, they are too large to send. I c will burn CDd for the cost of postage or I can go
to a B&N book store and get a wi-fi connection and send them from there. Reply off list to me at
sandeenpa at yahoo.com for files. It will be after MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL before I can do this.
Regards Perry (five year lurker). 11 BA's & counting. Regards Perrier
