I'm preparing to upload a new animation file - possibly later today. I intend to use the DivX codec which maybe not everyone has on their computer. If you...
It looks like Yahoo groups have a 3MB file limit. The file I've uploaded has a few clips cut out to make it smaller. It does use the DivX codec (fingers...

A friend offered me copies of the Stirling & Whitley file (circa 1970's) to sell for him today, but i wondered how scarce or otherwise they might be ? Any...
Hey Dave, Both books have been out of print for quite some time. Personally, I'd keep them as they can be rather expensive to buy used from Amazon books or ...
Todd, Thanks very much, although their not mine & i dont feel the need to own them either. Just wondered how scarce or not they were, and if anybody wanted...

Hi Everyone I just joined the group. Can anyone tell me how the Whitley's undercart is arranged & how it moves? I can't see the arrangement in photos coz of...
