This URL worked fine for me. No idea why it came through broke the first time. If I recollect it was not the & encoding which was broke, but that there was a break in the URL. When I searched for the partial URL on Wikipedia, I found the right URL, which, when I posted it in my email, encoded the & as %26. This is purely from memory, during a very busy day, whilst concentrating on something else, so my memory may have no resemblance to reality. :-D -- Dan Jenkins, Rastech Inc., 1-603-206-9951 _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
