Any chance of getting Jim March's...

article on checking out a used revolver stripped to an independent file and posted in the library where it would be easier lay hands on?

It's in this thread here...

I second it!

Great idea I just printed that section for my own reference, but having it online for reference is helpful.

**Rich Lucibella** · April 27, 2002, 04:39 PM

If someone will convert it to an html doc and email to me, I'll put it up.

**Mike Irwin** · April 27, 2002, 04:51 PM

Rich,

Would you prefer HTML or PDF?

**Rich Lucibella** · April 27, 2002, 04:54 PM

Mike-
I think, for something that short, HTML would work better. It's a bit more universal. But that's up to you. I'll put either up.
Rich

**Mike Irwin** · April 27, 2002, 05:06 PM

I'll do PDF, as I'm much more familiar with how to do that and do it correctly.

If someone else wants to jump in with an HTML formatting, please do!

I'm going to PM Jim and let him know this is planned. Might be nice to let him know first.

C.R.Sam · April 27, 2002, 08:27 PM

Cool indeed gentlemen.

TheBluesMan · April 27, 2002, 10:56 PM

HTML file has been emailed to Rich.

Awaiting Jim March's consent...

**Rich Lucibella** · April 27, 2002, 11:51 PM

Got it, Dave. Thanks. We'll wait for Jim's OK.
Rich

C.R.Sam · April 28, 2002, 11:38 AM

I am pretty sure Jim has made additions to the original over time as he cleaned it up or added more information, yet this morning I only see evidence of one edit. Me wrong on number of edits or they just not showing at the bottom of the post. ?

Which brings to mind, would he be able to update after it after it gets into the library without putting excessive load on the staff. ?

**Mal H** · April 28, 2002, 01:44 PM

New version of vB only shows the latest edit. Previous versions made the "edited by" footnote part of the text which itself could be edited or deleted. You can now edit a post 10 times but only the last one will show as a footnote.

C.R.Sam · April 28, 2002, 02:09 PM

Thanks Mal, thought my remaining brain cell had departed.

**Mike Irwin** · April 28, 2002, 02:19 PM

Jim March sent me a Private Message with this consent, so it's good to go up on the Library.

Thanks, BluesMan!

Jim did say this is a "work in progress," so hopefully the HTML version will be more amendable to editing in the future.

TheBluesMan · April 28, 2002, 04:10 PM

I'll be happy to edit the source code as necessary upon revision.

C.R.Sam · April 28, 2002, 06:36 PM

Outstanding efficiency by Mike, Rich and staff.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike. And for the tech work, Dave.

Just did a checkout.

Nicely done gentlemen.
