Mike/L-A,

Thanks for the time and effort you put into getting this into hands that
need it (like mine!).

Again, thanks!

Jim

Okay everyone...

Primary site is http://thesmokingsection.cponline.org/etc/ETKA
Secondary site is http://filebox.vt.edu/users/rfitton/ETKA

Please only use the secondary site if the first one doesn't work.  The 
primary site is running off my hard drive, but my router misbehaves 
sometimes.  Once I get that worked out and start running a 24/7 server, 
I'll take the secondary site down.  For the moment, it's just the raw 
PDFs, but I'll work on an index to organize it sometime.  Like LaR said, 
index.txt can guide you for the time being.

I'll probably convert the PDFs to decent-res images sometime, because I 
hate looking at PDFs in browsers.  Any ideas for the layout of the 
section?  Throw em at me.

-Cheers!
Mike
