Subject: UVic's Writer's Guide
Hello
Avril Henry wrote me saying that all was fine after all with his receiving
the Writer's Guide from the University of Victoria. Since I had changed
nothing, I assume that there was *merely* a problem with the transatlantic
link at that particular time. I will check this morning to learn why it was
slow going for you Sunday night. At UVic, things sometimes go funny on
weekends.
As far as I understand, an interlaced image differs only from regular
images in that it changes the sequence by which it sends out data. Data
still comes in at whatever speed the link can handle. In any case, I use
only one such image for the entire Writer's Guide, and once you have it, it
will be cached. Subsequent calls to it should go fast. Perhaps the problem
was the link itself, although Princeton to BC isn't particularly a far way
on the Net.
Thanks for looking at the Guide. I hope it's worth the bother.

Re: James O'Donnell's difficulties finding a ZIP code:
He's right, it is there already. See the post office's "ZIP Code Lookup"
at http://www.usps.gov/ncsc/
I bookmarked it some time ago, having stumbled across it while doing
something else. Wasn't the kingdom of Serendip discovered by means of an
activity similar to Net surfing?
