Industry patrons: , note: Dan Roman. Please, let's keep it a "Level Playing Field" for everyone to reap the benefits. Keep it simple for those of us that are semi-computer illiterate. I have always believed in sticking with the basics, "Everything in moderation".
Oh by the way, I do own a name brand Pentium 1Billion MXX1V processor with a Double pipeline mega-watt hard drive, with all the expensive software. Still can't get the damn thing to do what I want, even with all the bells and whistles, "YOUR COMPUTER APPLICATION HAS STOPPED RESPONDING DO YOU WISH TO END THIS TASK???" .........TIFF that JPEG this FORWARD that. Some times just prefer to use Mr. Fax for that bull-caca. Note: Dan Roman, I stand corrected Dan. My earlier statement "When was the last time you saw a Graphics File in a standard"??? was completely inaccurate. In fact, from what I've been told in the past, there are many helpful graphic files that can be created from any number of standards; schematics, diagrams and even text. If you decide to distribute partial copies of UL or BSI standards over the net without interfering with copy-write laws please let me know how this can be achieved? This company would prefer to computerize the entire document library. E-mail me directly. Thanks for your consideration. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Roman Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 1997 6:38 AM To: Steve Kuiper Subject: Re: Graphics In Posts Steve Kuiper wrote in part: > Ditto to your response on this issue.

I refuse to bow to the least common denominator and if a graphic gets the point across I'll use the technology available to do so. This is not rocket science. Encoding and decoding a graphic in email is child's play! It's time people were dragged out of the 80's, kicking and screaming if necessary. > accomplish the regulatory compliance needs of this industry. By-the-By when > is the last time anyone saw a Graphics file in a compliance standard???? Kind When is the last time you did not see a graphics file in a compliance standard? For instance, UL 1950 has over two dozen figures and if those aren't graphics files I don't know what are! -- Dan Roman | mailto:[email protected] http://www.dialogic.com Compliance Engineer | Personal: mailto:[email protected] Dialogic Corp, NJ | Homebrew is better brew!
