List of 573 .GIF picture files which are NOT used elsewhere in this system (4225 .GIF files ARE used in the system). Note that it is possible to match these "missing" graphics to their parent document in most cases by the file naming convention used. -

Last of the 573 .GIF picture files which are NOT used elsewhere in this system - you can "walk" back through all 573 from this starting point..... -


Each language contains approximately 14 Megabyte of Text Description and addresses 4225 diagrams of approximately 75 Megabytes. There are 6 language versions in all, each in 2 versions - single long document and split-up short documents for easier use over dial-up internet - therefore approximately 168 Meg text in total plus 75 Meg diagrams - 240 Meg in total.

Note that the English, Spanish, French and Portuguese versions should enable up to 2 Billion of the planet's 6 Billion people to read and understand the contents. The German and Italian versions are here because the PC software was available and because those versions should be useful to information and content providers, if of little use to people in the 3rd World...

Note also that the PC Machine Translations are not modified in any way - our apologies if any of the text is funny or confusing - please refer to the English version in all cases as the Master...
