Before getting onto the subject matter I want to relate a problem I
experienced while trying to send an email to [email protected]
with several JPG attachments (Willcox ESR meter MkII) using Agent. The
file was too big and my ISP email server stopped the transfer. When I
deleted the attachments from the email (from within Agent) I soon
found that the files had also been purged from the source folder -
they weren't even sitting in the recycle bin. I used a freeware prog
called Restoration and was able to recover all but one insignificant
file. Needless to say I won't be using Agent to send email with
attachments again - just in case. I'll stick to Eudora for that
function.
I have been in contact with Alan Willcox and he informs me that his
health is not the best at the moment. He has promised to send me
documentation on a project he is currently in the process of
developing, ie. an add-on ESR adapter for use with a digital meter.
While his older ESR Meter MkII is still valid the cost of purchasing a
suitable moving coil meter movement is relatively high, plus the fact
that the user needs to produce a suitable meter scale for whatever
meter movement is available. An add-on adapter reduces the cost to a
very small figure indeed since all techs and hobbyists will have a
digital meter to hand.
