Big Bertha Thing Battle
1. Do not fight.
2. Fight on ground of your own choosing.
3. Make sure you have got an edge.
4. Is it worth dying for?

To the victor the spoils, of the 1st Battle of Cyberspace.
(20 family jewels and the 301 files.)
This has been a serious exercise, under the auspices
of the Pastures project, OUSA Classical Particle,
in conjunction with OUSA Research.
Thank you,

Hi Tony
++++++
I'm afraid you are going to have to take me through all this very slowly -
I did say my
last Physics was A level some 30+ years ago didn't I?
In answer to your question, yes I'm happy to be archivist - my 486
'boasts' a reasonable
amount of hard disk space and I could allocate about 500MB to the job with
as many backup
100MB floppies (on a zip drive) as is necessary. I'm a bit puzzled about
the email and
password bit - do you mean that I should log on as AML34 with your
password and download
your mail and files? I'm not terribly comfortable with that idea - I
would much rather
you forward the relevant messages and attachments to me rather than I
should find myself
reading all your mail.
Or perhaps it might be better to set up a closed subconference, one that
can only be
accessed by your volunteers and I would get archive the files from there.
Or you can ask people to copy them to me or mail them to me directly.
Have a think and let me know - I would rather not mess around with your
mailbox - I'm
pretty sure it's against the rules anyway!
Next
++++
I have downloaded and run the Pastures software and there are lots of
things I don't
understand (probably because I don't exactly understand the physics - and
I'm not even
going to try to do that right now - although I think I understand what
your goal is).
First thing I didn't understand was why working through the Worked Example
for Option 1 -
the seven-hour bit took my machine about 20 minutes. So either I'm
missing something
fairly fundamental or there is a much bigger speed differential between a
386 and a
486DX-66 than I would have thought!
Then as Option 4 in the Worked example was next, I tried that, but it
didn't work -
presumably because it shouldn't be next, it should be after Option 3?
When you refer to 'Edit particle.dat' are you referring to the Dos Edit
command or are you
using the term Edit more loosely than that?
Anyway, having made a miserable attempt at running the examples I decided
that I really
need my hand held on this one. I'm afraid that perhaps your do***entation
steps just
aren't quite small enough for me. Would it be too much trouble to go over
it again at
half speed? If it would and I can't be of much help to you running the
damn thing, I will
still happily act as archivist because I am now quite intrigued by it all!
Cheers for now
Pam
PS I don't understand your Big Bertha messages either - and I've heard of
Serpico, there
was a not very good film made about the case a few years ago that has been
doing the
rounds on Sky.
PPS: Did you ever get Philip Sims on board? You certainly managed to
alienate a few mods
though didn't you? <<<Grin>>>
Cheers once more
