ANNOUNCE: Web-Grognards, 21/4/96 From: Alan Poulter <alan@poulter.demon.co.uk> Date: Sun, 21 Apr 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Hi, I have decided to make this email an 'Announce' rather than an Update because of the number of changes I have made. Web-Grognards has been going for nearly a year and needed a spring clean:- 1. I have closed my FTP site Euro-Grognards. Usage was low and uploading/downloading of largish files was very slow. 2. Web-Grognards pages have been all given guide bars to aid navigation. The pages for games now cover individual letters, so instead of one page for letters D-K, there are pages for D, E, etc. This makes the pages smaller and faster to load. I have added cross-references between games (e.g games in the same series). I have re-organised the home page. 3. The large index file for articles in The General has been split into separate index files for articles on each game and an index of games covered in The General. Each game entry now has a link called 'article index' to articles on it. Currrently these just come from The General but I am intending to add references to articles in other review magazines, and eventually indexes for those magazines. Any contributions of such indexes welcome! 4. Please note the new address for Web-Grognards itself:- http://www.clever.net/grognard/ This is due to changes at Clever.net. Anyone who had problems with downloading files due to error message 550 should try again: this problem has now been fixed. I would welcome any comments made on the above changes. The Challenge: Erik Springelkamp guessed Cropredy Bridge, from S&T 101. He has now won twice. Not too many other people got this one right. A new Challenge awaits!
