Question for hackers:

Any one know how to save the page properly?

Answer:

You do a

File | Edit with MS Word

in MSOE and save the page as html in the evil word app. Yay!

BTW, you do this from the URL, not the improperly saved (religious
cracks welcome :) ) page. Word will download the page. ZA or other
firewall users will need to allow Word to access the internat.

Sure. Just print it to a PDF... 109 pages, 499K.

Damn! I'm not using the ol' noodle today. The files folder that Word
saves (like when MSOE saves a page) is 663K so I'll print what I
saved to pdf995 and delete the web pages.
I don't think M$ thwarts your saving it... it's just so long you need
to be patient.

No. MSOE gives you that progress thingy and it's a modal dialog. You
get the alligator growl (jungle sounds "oops!") if you try to do
anything with that instance of MSOE while a save is in progress.

Before I posted, I did "view source" which brought up UltraEdit. The
MSO crap is plain as day. I've seen it before and it's pure MSBS.

Thanks for the wake up ;)

I bit for the full Acrobat package quite a few years ago now, when a
Japanese client couldn't cope with any file format besides PDF.

...Jim Thompson

Last time I went to Adobe's site, I couldn't find an Acrobat per se.
IIRC, I couldn't find Distiller or Page Mill, either, just some new
packages I've never heard of before.

Ok.

Sorry to digress, but my Uncle was in town this week. He's a retired
Latin teacher (tutors rich kids now) and tennis pro as well as the
family etymologist. I mentioned your name (as best I could pronounce
it and eventually wrote it down for him) because you always give
such great etymologies.

He said it sounded Greek. Is that right? He searched his banks for a
translation and came up blank - got me thinking it was a psuedonym
but a web search with "definition" added just brought up discussions
where you defined words.

So what's the skinny on your name? Uncle Joe's got me curious.

Best one I've heard yet was a Cajun whose last name in French meant
young boy. His americanized (or anglicized) name is Young. In French
it's Jeune Garcon` - he may have said "le Jeune Garcon`".

Here's a new one on me:

http://www.fonetiks.org and pick a language

You can hover over the vowel(s) and it plays the sound.

Using Mozilla 1.8a1,

Used to be Netscape, right? Or was that Gecko?
"print preview" gave me a good looking screen. I
printed to a file instead of directly to my printer (113 pages!) and that seemed
to work.

I get 111 pages to pdf *and* print preview with pdf995 and MSOE,
respectively.

When I print to a file with MSOE, I can only save as a .prn file
which XP doesn't associate with any apps I have. I think you're
supposed to be able to send it to a printer, but I can't remember
what I read about that.
Then I got brave and used the "save page as.." feature and that too
seemed to work. Maybe your computer or browser is broken.
Maybe, but I think it's MSOE. It saves other pages as html and
sticks images, style sheets, JavaScript, etc. in a
<page_title>_files directory. Might need to upgrade MSOE, but I've
had this prob before and I've seen the ugly source code.

<v:imagedata src="./notes1_m_2000_files/image003.wmz"
o:href="file:///G:/ES2610/PLOTS/INTRO1_2.PLT"/>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's wild. I'm saving to drive G: and that directory isn't there -
wasn't created.

</v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img width=552 height=211
src="./notes1_m_2000_files/image004.gif"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that's where a normal pages pics would be save - never happens with
this one.

v:shapes="_x0000_i1026"><![endif]></span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

I think your Mozilla is ignoring (doesn't recognize) the MSO crap
and just finding the

src="./notes1_m_2000_files/image004.gif"

line - or whatever Mozilla does with the pics. NS used to *not* save
images - a PITA. Can't remember what it does now.

I also have a dummy postscript printer set up as an Apple laser
writer. I can select that and print to file and change the extension
to .ps - also 111 pages but over 2.7 MB !

Answer:

You do a

File | Edit with MS Word

Or just back over the last part of the URL and it'll bring up a page
with MS Word versions of the same documents. (There are .PDF links,
too, but they don't work.)

Hmmm... I did that

That wasn't working this time, but now it does.

Opera 7 worked just fine. Load the whole thing then choose "Save with
images as...". Make a separate folder for it so's not to jumble the
whole thing up. BTW, that's one evil page, lucky I've recently got
ADSL, on dial-up it would have taken a good part of the night.

The file is long and you can't save it for later reading because MS
Officino de Redmond, WA Los Estados Unidos (AKA hell del diablo
satan) codes and loads the pics somehow and they don't save.

http://www.eng.warwick.ac.uk/staff/elh/elh_es261_notes/notes1_m_2000.htm

I don't see a problem. I can do right-click and choose View Image,
and my browser URL bar displays:

http://www.eng.warwick.ac.uk/staff/elh/elh_es261_notes/notes1_m_2000_files/image006.gif
and I can save that.

But it's a pretty big webpage. I did a View Source in Firefox (get
it at mozilla.org) and while trying to scroll through it, it crashed.
Maybe your problem is related to the size of the page, and your
browser not working nicely with it.
Note to hackers. You can play with the URL to get other notes.

I'm not a hacker but often I go "up the tree" to see what else I
can find on a website that the current page doesn't link to, such as:
http://www.eng.warwick.ac.uk/staff
or does that make me a hacker? You don't even have to be a scr1pt
k1dd1e to do that.

If you go to http://www.eng.warwick.ac.uk/staff/elh/elh_es261_notes
you will find the file, along with a couple of others, available in
Microsoft Word format. Just save those.

Hacker - programmer; likes to explore OS workings.

You could extend that to someone who likes to hack around.

White hat. Black hat.

Cracker - criminal hacker.

Remember Spy vs Spy? Someone's using those guys in a commercial
lately.

All three parts of the manual should total 359 pages but you have to
go to the root directory to find them. Quite a find!

Adobe just gets better and better and better.... ;-)

You can see why I've stuck with V4 for most of my PDF tasks, and use

Every so often, when I try to save a web page, XP replies that "this
web page cannot be saved" (or words to that effect.) I finally found
out that I could edit the page with MS Word, then save that edited
page.
