The Ka-27 'Helix' is powered by two 2225-shp Isotov TV3-117V turboshafts and is capable of landing on the water.

I didn't know that it was possible to make a list in HTML, which is a lot better than a Java list. I disagree with making everything for the lowest common denominator-- while text only browsers are out there they do make up a very small portion of the browsers. If anyone out there has WebTracker you'll know what I mean (the majority of people use Netscape or IE). So in that respect its like the situation with PCs a few years back... everyone was writing software to run on a 286 (as opposed to now when you need the newest damn computer out there). - -- Peter Vieth Fitek@ix.netcom.com IGZ Handle: Fitek ICQ UIN: 3660410 Web page: http://www.netcom.com/~Fitek/index.html Apocalypse Software E-mail: Apocalypsesw@rocketmail.com Apocalypse Software web page: http://www.keast.com/apocalypse ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 05 Feb 1998 22:28:21 +0000 From: Roger Stenning Subject: Re: T2k pages Was: [Fwd: twilight2000-digest V1996 #69] At 15:18 05/02/98 -0800, you wrote: >Roger Stenning wrote: >> >> Chris - >> >> Thanks for the heads-up.

Give it until 1500 GMT (0800 CST). It's at: http://www.humanwaredesign.com/t2k/ The bulk of this rather large (103 page) site is an "Advanced Character Generation Guide" book I started writing in 1989 and finished in 1992 (due to kids, not the effort of the writing). I was going to submit it to GDW but...well, you know how it goes. There are a few pages that aren't filled yet - I need to get some files from some friends - but it's basically all there. There's a mailback link - - let me know what you think.
