That's what happens on the JC Archive site when you are not subscribed. You have to "guess" from what you can see on the index search. Normally you get a couple of lines from the paper with a few bits missing or funny symbols because the OCR indexing process is not perfect but you can usually take a reasonable guess at what the item says/should say for example if it read fissnanger you would guess fishmonger from what you already know. Sherry Landa (23170, Viersat, FRANCE) I'm supposed to have Adobe 8, but when I go to the JC site and bring up a search for Zalig and go to the achive and ask for page one the single page comes up with strips missing.

Sherry, Ok that's good it crossed my my that it might have been as you suggested a ploy on the part of JC. I'll go back to guessing tomorrow. It is getting close to 5pm now, time for me to call it quits for the day. I hunted around for a copy of Adobe 7 today and downloaded. Why 7 and not stay with 8....Well I thought it just might work better, silly things have been true with software before.
