It might be that Alan's hosting service is doing something bonkers; perhaps the service's virtual hosting setup? Can you try visiting the page again? Here's the URL: http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/ I did a quick Google search: there appears to be an older mirror of the page here: http://www.com-it.net.au/tutorials/learning_to_program/ although I'm not sure how old this mirror is. If you are still unable to get to Alan's tutorial through the web, I'm sure someone here would be happy to send an archive of the tutorial and send it to you through email. Best of wishes to you! ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

You can also check out How to Think Like a Computer Scientist at http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/ . Alan's page is up I checked it using Firefox.
