Good to know someone reads my page

@everyone: Please give us feedback for the articles within, FT, DVDs etc. regular feedback from you is the only way we can improve.

Also, sorry about the Full XLS list, will try and get that done, and make it a regular feature from next month onward for sure.

The magazine itself was superb .
FT was very interesting .
But I somewhat didn't liked DVDs.
I think there should be 2 FTs instead of 2 DVDs.

There is a problem with the link given at the end of the world view section which gives all the links given in this section at once.

The link is --- www.minmu.net/WVJan12

It doesn't work. Please give the correct link.
Thanks

The link is printed correctly, you need to type it out exactly as printed, i.e.,

www . minmu . net/WVJan12/

the link will not work without the slash at the end.

January issue is superb as always specially FT on space.

by the way, I have a problem with december issue

I tried to extract the "Digit Forum Offline.exe" package (From December DVD). After extracting 26106 files (approx 12-13% of the compressed package) in the Lite\web folder it starts giving "cannot open output file" error. What may be the problem? Please try extracting that archive and tell me? There are no problems like CRC with the executable (compressed) file itself 'cause I copied the whole executable file (119MB file) to the hard disk without any problem, so the DVD is finely readable.

Windows XP SP2 32bit
HDD file system- FAT32

@RajivKumar123456
The problem seems to be with the DVD you have received. I popped in a December DVD, and I could extract the forum without any problem. It seems your installer is corrupted.

Here is the installer checksum in case you want to verify the integrity of the installer.
SHA1 : a2773b722289873c9d7e84663090b95e4ff5aeaa

You can download the Forum Offline Installer from: http://bit.ly/DigitForum

This should answer your query. I guess you were feeling a bit too lazy to read through the previous posts as well.

[buddyram]

thanx for your time
