Do you want to take the full archive, then please, by all means. But wouldn't it be a good idea to keep the things togther? I'd like to point out, that we asked for the presentations in a common format, like HTML, Postscript and so on, but also said, if you want some other format, then you must also provide one of the common formats too. In short, if you want to submit PowerPoint files, good, but then you must also provide HTMLs, a PDF, or similar (see my original message quoted by Dana below). In that way, we sure that all of us can get your golden thougts. > I went to give a simple talk today and advertise what nice stuff > BRAHMS can do only to discover the plots from the coll. meeting are > usless.

Well, it's impossible to extract plots and pictures from Micro$..t Power(?)Point files if you don't have a Micro$..t Power(?)Point lisence, which means you need to have a Micro$..t Windoze Lisence too, and some of us don't. The moral of the story: Make your ROOT scripts, Postscript, XFig, JPGs, PNGs, LaTeX, <shudder>GIFs</shudder>, ladida - in short: the sources - avaliable. It's as it says in the GPL: The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. A Micro$..t Power(?)Point is defently not a good form if you don't own a lisence. > My "expert" was unable to get good plots from the coll. meeting > stuff. It's almost (not entirely, but almost) impossible to extract the plots and pictures from the web-pages that Micro$..t Power(?)Point produces. One reason is that the HTML pages blocks attempts to save to disk. What you need to do is to have access to the directory itself, and then extract the figures directly from the HTML files.
