New ! Download PDFs for all FT issues
... and thanks to Martin Graebe from TSF for his encouragement!
Earlier FT issues (FWJ 01 to FT 56) were originally set up as "Issuu" e-magazines; links are still available, but we cannot update them.
Therefore, we have added downloadable PDFs for ALL issues!
To cope with all the additional PDFs, our "Index: ISSUES" webpage was therefore split --
see "Index: ISSUES-1" (FWJ 1 to FT 50; 26 issues)
and "Index: ISSUES-2" (FT 51 to date; 16 issues). ... total 42 issues (perhaps 150 articles?)
We have also clarified the layout, as this was based on earlier links to e-magazines.
Links for Issuu are still available from FWJ 01 to FT 56.
*** Still to do: add in some print-only articles to online (PDFs). We'll let you know later when this is complete. Meanwhile, we may have a Pdf for an article that we can send you on request even if not on PDFs as published.
