Your message started me searching:

First...I found that I did link automatically. I am using Eudora 1.5.4 which is
freeware that can be gotten at <ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/>.  This is the
upgraded version that was released in April.  The ultimate link for Windows is
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/eudora/windows/1.5/     to download eudor154.exe.

Second...Your post about Cupola Furnaces contained a link that I couldn't
reach successfully.  The leading > got included in the address...and the final
/pntc.htm wasn't found (at least using the Netscape 3.0 beta). I finally got it
with <http://www.tooltimer.com>, a terrific site!

Yea, sorry 'bout that, I should have checked that link out before posting
it. I have found out also, as you stated, that one way to try out URL's
that don't link, is to delete some off of the end. Sometimes to get it down
to the ending of ".com" or whatever. Some people change their pages and
move things around, destroying or deleting info. I really like that site
too, tho.

Another location that I'm checking is:
http://mailmunch.law.cornell.edu/listservs/OLDTOOLS
Check it out, looks pretty good. It's the archive of the OLDTOOLS list.
Mostly woodworking info, but for a tool nut like myself, a tool is a
tool... The subscription info I have is:

To subscribe send an e-mail to
[email-masked]
The first line of the message must read

Subscribe OLDTOOLS  <your name>

Thanks for your info.
