Somebody ought to invent some sort of a copy paper that can be held
directly agains't computer monitor screens (webtv screens too) (sort of
kind of like the old fashion blueprint papers,if y'all get me driff) for
a minute or so and make copies like that.It would cut out all of the
fuss and mess of screwing around with those stupid ass printers that
sometimes don't work right and that we are always having to buy ink
for.It seems to me like a damn good idea.Put y'alls thinking caps on
boys and girls and invent something like that and y'all can get filthy
rich.

Next you'll want us to invent special eyeballs to look at the monitor and
all we'll have to do **** out a screen shot. LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Many years ago my dad was a construction supervisor for Michael Baker
Engineering Company.(www.dogpile.com Michael Baker Engineering Company
Flowood Mississippi if y'all want to look it up) The company used to be
home based here in Jackson but years ago they moved across the Pearl
River east of Jackson in the little city of Flowood.I am familiar with
blueprint paper although I have never used it before.A lot of people
travel with their laptop computers and if there was some sort of copy
papers available they could use to hold against't the screens of their
laptop computers if they want to copy something on the go,that would
save them a lot of time.Some people still use blueprint because it is
inexpensive,according to a search I did at www.howstuffworks.com
Blueprint Paper

I still think my idea is a good idea.

I don't think ERGO 4 does R8B memory management. I bought the program
from Universal about a month ago when I bought my R8B new from R.L.
Drake. I've only spent a little time with it, but I got it mainly for
memory management and was disappointed.

I played a bit with RXPLUS and I'd recommend it over ERGO 4 until ERGO
4 gets the R8B memory management programmed.

I did a survey a couple of years ago to find what software was
available for a variety of receivers. There was not a whole lot for
the Drake other than Mark Fine's RLDB and Smart R8. Since then, Mark
has developed the R8 interface for the HamLib library
(http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/) and an alpha level application, Smart
Gnome Control, using the HamLib libraries. Any application using
HamLib should work with the R8 but they seem to be mostly designed for
Linux and have to be compiled from the open source code. I have
compiled Dream for Windows; it has limited control of the R8
(frequency and S-meter) but it's primarily a DRM decoder and
AM/SSB/CW/FM sound card IF DSP demodulator. Here's the old table, fwiw
- needs updating - and has to be viewed in html.

That's one nasty looking table, Tom. You need to at least click in
unused boxes and press the space bare so the grid shows up around unused
cells. If you're familiar with editing raw HTML with a word processor
its simple to use "Find and replace" to do it all in one pass.

Search for:
td/td
and replace with
td /td

It makes tables a lot easier on the eyes if you have vision problems.

Hi Mike,
I'm familiar with raw HTML. It's not required to put &nbsp into empty cells
in a table - unless you want a border around each cell. The source file
displays fine in IE, Netscape and Firefox browsers and in Outlook Express
into which it was pasted and sent. Oddly enough, my news server did not even
return my posting so I have no idea what it might have done to the html.
Google stripped all the html and made it totally scrambled. Does
rec.radio.shortwave even allow html?

73, Tom

HTML is unwanted in ALL non-binary newsgroups.
Just use plain text and/ or some monospaced ASCII-art.

It depends on the news server and Earthlink let it through. The
message was 1152 lines and the missing cell borders are what make the
table look bad. Whenever something pops up in that format its like
someone has slugged me because my poor vision can't line everything up
quickly. There are web sites I can't go to because they are full of
tables built like this. If you aren't going to display all the borders
you should turn them off and just have the columns aligned without any
thing in the way.

I create the tables on my web page in Wordpad and always include the
non breaking space in blank cells when a table has visable borders.

http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/ and a couple other sites I
maintain were built by hand to keep them compatable with as many
browsers as possible. The pages are small and fast loading because
there are a minimum of tags and i use a CSS to maintain the look and
colors of the site.
