Dear All Howard said that he would send this other GP-UK contributors but I haven't seen it appear. I hope he doesn't mind me forwarding it for general information although many of you have already worked out the problem. Can anyone interpret other obscure characters that appear in my "reader", e.g. what do all those =3D lines mean surrounding one prominent contributors sig. file? Regards Peter ---------- From: Howard Griffiths Sent: 09 December 1996 16:17 To: Peter Wilson Subject: Pulse Dear Dr Wilson Our slip with the Xmas co-op rates has caused us much embarrassment. It's no excuse but I thought you may be interested in hearing how it was caused. The article was e-mailed to us and as you probably know - but we didn't at the time - pound signs can come out strangely with e-mail. The three is on the same typewriter key as the pound sign and this may be why the figure came out 30 times too large! Howard Griffiths, Editor, Pulse. PS I'm sending this letter to other GP-UK contributors. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
