A CD was created back around 1999 that collected the current and legacy IQ, IMPACC and software products of the era.


The CD was created with many of the manuals, instruction booklets, software downloads and other technical information.  It was created with an HTML menu system.  Unfortunately, it was used and tested only on a Windows system.  Windows ignores case in URL addresses, so many of the file names and the link names used mixed case.  This worked fine under Windows however when this content was uploaded to this server, the menu system no longer worked.

This is because this message board is hosted on a system running Linux, and like UNIX, Linux cares about the case in URLs.

To get the system up and running as soon as possible, we ran a couple of scripts to rename the files and all the text in the files referencing these links to lowercase.  A byproduct of that renaming script is that the text in the menus is now all lowercase.  The content referenced by those links is unaffected.

Most of the links should now work (if they don't it is because we missed it... just rename the path to have all lowercase characters after the "legacyPMP/".
