Thanks to all the people who did this.

I think I'll be looking thought these back issues while recovering
from Turkey day...

Hi John,

Awesome! Thanks. I can't wait to see them!

But where are they? I did a quick check of the SSA web site and didn't see
them.

Best Regards,

I can not find them either.

[John Leibacher]

http://soaringweb.org/Soaring_Index is the top level URL for the
index. For any of the listings (by Issue, Subject, Author, etc...)
for a year in this interval, click on a highlighted page number to get
the scanned page. Or you can select "Content" to get links to the
whole year, page by page.

All suggestions, comments, brickbats on the presentation and access
are warmly encouraged!!

Thanks for making this available. I found the search easy to use and
found several references I wanted to look at. That's as far as I was
able to go. I tried clicking all over the place but never found out
how to get to the search results. I saw no highlighted page numbers.

Is IE 6.x supported ?

Everyone, this is NOT the one that the SSA offices are working on...I
thought that somebody at the SSA offices had talked to Kathy about
putting them on the SSA website, not the worldwide soaring exchange.
However, better there than NO where!
Micki

[John Leibacher]

Sorry, Andy. The content is linked everywhere BUT the search tool,
for the moment. I'll get it there over the T'Day holidays I hope.
Just go to the listings by year, for the moment.

Yes, it works fine. The search isn't supported quite yet, that's all.

No highlighted page numbers in Firefox.

[Greg Arnold]

I am too dense to figure this out on my own. Could you explain the
steps to take to get to the scanned issues? I am not having much luck
getting there from the listings by year.

Greg,

Try:

http://soaringweb.org/Soaring_Index/listings.html

Then pick any year from 1937 to 1967. Or click on the "Contents" link
for those years and you should access the images of the pages in pdf
format. Make sure you have a good pdf viewer installed on your
computer.

If you need a viewer try Adobe or any of the other free viewers out
there.

http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/

[Greg Arnold]

Thanks. We are making progress, but I see that the URL of the scanned
pages ends with .html rather than .pdf. See, for example, any of the
links at:
http://soaringweb.org/Soaring_Index/1945/PDF/1945_pdf_index.html.

I don't know anything about computers, but wouldn't you use a .pdf
suffix for a PDF file? Or am I still looking in the wrong place?

Trying to open a link either crashes Firefox, or I get a message that my
pdf reader (FoxIt) refuses to load.

Sounds like your pdf reader, FOXIT, is not working with the webpages.
Mine works fine with Adobe Acrobat Plug-in turned on.

You cna load adobe acrobate and then make sure that the plug in is

I must admit I was confused until I read more carefully that only 1937
to 1967 has the hot links on the page numbers, and they show in
Firefox, and from there you get to page through the entire issue. The
links take you to 'standard' html pages, not pdf's... at least for me.

What a great job! Well done!

For those wanting even more to read, the Canadian journal, Free
Flight, thanks to Tony Burton,
is available from 1981 forward at: http://www.sac.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=26

*snip

Looks like all links are to an html page which in turn will launch an
embedded pdf file. Working for me in Firefox 3.5.5 and Acrobat reader.

Here's March 1965 page 21 as an example:
http://soaringweb.org/Soaring_Index/1965/PDF/1965_Mar_21.html
It's an html link, but that has the embedded page 21 scan in it. Once
there, you move page to page using the top controls.

[Robert Danewid]

I also have Firefox 3.5.5 and Acrobat Reader 6.0 , and it does not work.
It says "Operation is not allowed".

[Chris Reed[_2_]]

I had to update to the latest version of Reader (9.2 I think) to access
these.

[Bob]

I am seeing failed linksin search results, the target link has an
extra "soaringweb.org/cgi-bin/" within the URL, if you remove that the
page displays.

Example: a search on the word "test" shows the first result:

....The soaring test pilot flies the Franklin PS-1 utility glider, Dec,
1937, page 9 [Sailplanes\Franklin; Test Flying]

with a URL of: http://soaringweb.org/cgi-bin/soaringweb.org/Soaring_Index/1937/PDF/1937_Dec_09.html
for the highlighted page 9

the link fails, but if you edit the URL in your browser address line
by removing exactly "soaringweb.org/cgi-bin/" from the left side... it
works fine.

Resulting in a URL of: http://soaringweb.org/Soaring_Index/1937/PDF/1937_Dec_09.html

My guess is they can fix that soon.

I can see the pages just fine, but with Acrobar reader 8 and IE8 the
individual pages are not embedded in the web page. Instead they
display in a seperate Acrobat window.

Other than that i't absolutely wonderful to have access to this
resource.

Thanks!

Yes, that is what we call "a feature"! ;-) Seriously, I hate having
pop-up windows or separate windows that you have to close later, but
if the links just opened the new page in the same window and you then
page forward or backward to view other pages of contents, it was a
real pain to backtrack to where you started from. So I figured that
the new window (or tab if you have your browser set up that way) was
the lesser evil. I went with a new window/tab, rather that a pop-up
window, as I have those blocked in my browser and assume most other
folks do as well.

Thanks for the feedback!

In order to be able to move backward and forward from a given page to
another, I ended up embedding each page's PDF in a little HTML wrapper
that has links to other pages. OK?

Any and all suggestions are encouraged, straight to
to keep the newsgroup lean.
