Jim,
As I mentioned in a previous reply, I like to use url clippers. These aids
chage a URL of 100 characters to one of, maybe, 20.
These are two that are commonly used:
http://www.snipurl.com and http://www.tinyurl.com . Snip is my fave...
What you do is:
Upload your file to the archives.
Copy the URL of the file from the address (URL) bar of your browser.
Open the Snipurl (or Tinyurl) page.
There will be a text box into which you past the address you just copied.
There will be a button (snipit) or (make tinyurl) which you click.
This will create a small url which you copy and paste into the message you
send to us (or to anybody).
We click on it... and viola! it opens to your file...
Practice it a bit. I think it's one of the best aids to communicating on the
web...
