    What is a Cabal

    I wasn't sure what the word 'cabal' really means, so I looked it up. :D
    Found the following definition, if anyone else is interested:

    "A 'cabal' is a number of people united in some close design, usually to promote their private views and interests."

    Yep, that sounds like Us! :D

    Too bad we can't read the reports, since there are several pretaining to the ones I'm buiding.

      Great!
      Is anyone trying to fix the Problem, so we can read the Reports or should I 'give up' on that? :confused:
      Like I've 'given-up' trying to see the .mov (movie) file links, from forum and RC pages of website.
      Please Advise.
      Are the files being created on an Apple, which may not be compatible with our PCs?

        Hell I don't know ... I'm the idiot Troll in the shop here. Computers are Black Magic to me. Ask Mr. Caswell, he's the guy who maintains the site.

          These reports are Adobe pdf files. They can be read by anyone with an Adobe reader program.
          Stop messing about - just get a Sub-driver!

            Sorry, They still will Not display.
            I have the latest Upgrade to the Adobe .pdf reader.
            Could it be that an old version of the Adobe software was used to create the report pages, which is not compatible?

              You're not alone ... my machine chokes up on PDF's every once in a while too.

                I found that your .pdf files run when useing version-6 of the Adobe reader. Mine has version-9. We have another computer with version-6 installed, and it worked. So I'm happy with those now.:D
                Now, if I can figure out how to see the .mov files, I'll be Very happy.

                  To view .mov files, you need Apple Quicktime, or iTunes installed. Both are free. http://www.quicktime.com

                    Thats because it's powered by rubber bands!
