Yes, but I have thrown that CD away (after your generous assistance) and lost the copy on my hard disk in a recent post-virus reformat. However, what I forgot until after I re-downloaded it was that it was added to the QL Documentation CD before I reformatted the hard drive and I had in fact burned a copy which included it (thought it was still a job waiting to be done which for once I had done and forgotten I'd done the job!).

Re: [ql-users] QL Service Manual in HTML Format
Many thanks for the offer. I have now managed to get it sorted, it turned out to be a problem with the little PDF reader plug in for IE. Thanks ot everyone for the help and suggestions, these files will now be available from my PD library service on CD if anyone wants these files without the cost of downloading. PLEASE don't ask me to email them anyone...it's nearly bankrupted me trying to download them as it is!

IE generally shows a progress indicator when downloading large files. When I access any files from the World Of Spectrum ftp site the PC locks completely and I have to CTRL ALT DEL to get the tasks thingy to remove things. As Mike Macnamara suggests, most likely I have some IE settings muddled up on this computer. If I get nowhere, I may ask someone to put these on CD for me and pay for the CD and postage, being less trouble than struggling with something I have no patience with when it is less than happy (Windoze). -- Dilwyn Jones

I using IE 5.something and will look at these. The 'ual.pdf' split was known and no bearing on this as I manually typed it in full. There is obviously some setting for scripts or ftp sites I am not aware of and it must be a default setting because I rarely touch those and Win 98 SE is a recent clean update and re-install after a bad virus infection which taught me a bit about "worms" and Lookout Excess. Meanwhile, acouple of people have offered to download or mirror the files for me, thanks Marcel and others. These types of documents may well go on my QL Documentation CD. I still welcome any further contributions for this - watch out for something in QL Today soon. -- Dilwyn Jones

Hi Tony Try using ~IE double left click on image(brings up Gif, much larger, if you still can't see it) then right click on that and click show photo, when cursor is at one edge of screen a button appears, click on it.
