[R-390] re: upcoming changes in "Pearls"

[W. Li]

Guys:

I am in the midst of doing what is long overdue: that
of going each "Pearls" topic to correct misplaced
posts and delete duplicated posts. For bungling, I
apologize to all.

It has been mentioned that one can not do a "search"
on a pdf file. Actually you can, but it takes
"another" piece of software. Here is a quote from the
Adobe website:

"Note:  If you use Acrobat Reader, it must have
accessibility and search functions for you to complete
these solutions. You can download Acrobat Reader with
search and accessibility from Adobe's Web site at 
www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html , and
you can determine if Acrobat Reader has search or
accessibility functions as follows:

1. In Acrobat Reader, choose Help > About Adobe
Acrobat Plug-ins.

2. Check the plug-ins listed on the left side of the
About Adobe Acrobat Plug-ins dialog box:

-- If the Search plug-in is listed, the version has
search functions.

-- If the MSAA plug-in is listed, the version has
accessibility functions. "  (end of quote) 

Perry Sandeen will provide a Word formatted document
of ALL the posts soon.

Lastly, as the 'Pearl' pdf files are getting quite
large, I have taken the initiative of providing
abbreviated topic files (marked as (s)) after each
topic name. These are half or less in size from the
current versions. The first of these will be posted
end March-early April this year. I can send full topic
files separately (ask me off-list) to any who want
them. 

So here is a heads-up to all: download the current
"Pearls" topics this month if you want the -long-
versions for your reference. After this month I will
not post them.

My goal is to provide the group with salient, useful
information, without redundancies insofar as all the
valuable information shared by many experts over the
years. These have been and will be updated on a
quarterly basis.

My deepest thanks to Al for posting "Pearls".
