Book downloading tips
If you have some trouble downloading,
and then you overcome the trouble,
please tell me and I can add it to this list.
Sorry I am not a web wizard myself.
Since I compressed the book files, some people say they can
retrieve them with mosaic but not netscape.

I have now successfully downloaded your book "Imaging the Earth's Interior"
using Netscape 1.1N.
The problem I had earlier was that the Mosaic browser I was using was
decompressing the .ps.Z files and feeding them into a .ps viewer automatically.
This was filling the temporary swap space in the SPARC 2 I am running on and
hence the .ps viewer fell over before it displayed any information.
With Netscape one can press the right hand button on the mouse (if you have a
SUN workstation) on the chapter and feed the compressed file directly into a
designated filespace.
Sorry to bother you but I thought this method might be useful for other
people who are trying to download your book and experiencing a similar
problem to mine.
