Hi all

Bryan Stone has been good enough to mail me a copy of his PDFed Flight from the
Dark, which I have uploaded to the PA webserver here:

http://www.projectaon.org/~simon/FFTD.pdf

Any comments/criticism/queries should be directed to Bryan at:
wolfpaw723@xxxxxxxxx, though CCing it to this list may also be advisable.

I have to admit, I haven't had the chance to look through the file myself, yet.
Jon/Jeff/Ingo: you guys might want to give a little technical advice if
required, since I don't have a clue about such things.

Below is the E-mail I received, which may contain some infromation the tech guys
need (XML/templates etc.).

Hi Simon,

I downloaded the html versions and had Acrobat pull them into the
linked PDF just like you said it does, seems to work real fine.  Since
you all put the effort into making the html ones (and they did turn
out quite nice) the PDF is exactly the same, but a PDF, and only one
file to deal with.  All the internet links are also still intact
(Project Aon etc).  I'll give you the first book so you can play
around with it (3.3 MB).  I'm going to try using my old webspace, but
it has been a good while since I last did.  [updated] My webspace
doesn't allow uploads of over 1 MB, so I'm just going to attach it.
If any of you at Project Aon need good email providers, I still have
all my invites at gmail.

I am quite good at Visual Basic programming, and I think I could make
a electronic character sheet, like the one you have, but a bit
fancier...  I've got some neat ideas.  It would make me smile to help
spread these gamebooks, they helped me get through the loneliest years
of highschool.  On a side note, my fiancee is in China with the
military, and I have some time to kill (about three more weeks).

Oh, and you had said that time is a limiting factor...  If this one is
good, it will only take about an hour to do the rest.  Not too sure
about making changes though.  If you said the html was made with xml
source, then you could potentially just change the templates, and
though the content would be the same, you could tweak it just as
needed.

There is no security on these PDFs, modifications can be permitted, as
can printing and pretty much whatever else you want to do to them.  I
need to find out how to remove the footer, no one wants to see my
directory structure, heh.

When you decide to post them for download, we can make sure security
features are on, whichever ones are deemed necessary.

Having fun already,

Bryan
