As requested, here is a repost of the link to Jo's collation of useful facts and faqs
http://maxqnz.com/Hints.html

Apologies to Dr. Bill if he's already mentioned this site,http://www.edict.com.hk/vlc/ but I just came across it today, and have added it to my collation of his links, at http://maxqnz.com/References.html

Dear sjm: That site is new to me. Looks interesting and worth browsing. And my motton is take the cash, and let the credit go.

Cheers, Dr. Bill.

I tried to follow the link, but was asked for a password, and told I was not authorised to view the page.

Did you try today, Bingley? I had a password on it during the Dark Ages, but removed it months ago. http://maxqnz.com/Hints.html should work without any request for authorisation. I don't get the request, which is just as well, because I have no idea what the password I used was.

Yep, a couple of minutes before posting.

Could someone else please check? This is very puzzling, because, if it was password-protected, it should be asking me for one too.

It opened up right away for me - no password needed.

opened with no password needed for me, as well.

ditto, got in nyet problyema.

I think der Bingle needs to clean out his cache, or sumtin'.

I got the "password required" box when I clicked on
<http://www.edict.com.hk/vlc/ >

But I had no problem with the other links.

Thanks, John. I have replaced that link with one back to that site's homepage, no password required.

Popped right up for me.

Sorry, max. I didn't read your post carefully enough. It was the edict one I was referring to, not your site.

Sorry to cause all that confusement - I just popped the thread back up for the benefit of passing strangers and newcomers :)
