Pretty funny - if you find an IBM research journal article in Google and try to click on the pdf, then you get the "please send your $$$" page. BUT - if you click in Google's "View as HTML" link, then you can see the HTML version of the article. Google builds an HTML version as it crawls and indexes the site, so apparently IBM's security/redirect for these pages is disabled if you are a robot. So if you use a Firefox plugin to set a robot HTTP header, you will be able to download the PDFs just fine.
One of the few cases where two blunders cancel each other out :-) Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
