Tank 1999!!!
THIS is code you've got to see. I won the Code-Of-The-Month award for a game I submitted in August, the previous version of this. Several comments pressured me to develop it more. This is new and improved, new graphics + sounds, features, and more!!! I would have submitted this code about three months ago, but the sound files made it too large, and there would be a big unhandled error if they were missing. I fixed that, and now you can enjoy it without sound. Visit my web site at www.geocities.com\Digitronix!!!

Jurgele, informed me that it is available again at the FTP site and will be available on their website soon.

Actually, we found alternatives for over $150,000 and these other solutions only purhased the site licences- no configuration, no development, no free upgrades! So the next time somebody asks you if you're worth $100 an hour, tell them that you're the expert that can help them save money! Then tell them this story:</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">OBJECTIVE: Provide web-based full text searching on thousands of pdf files for a major car manufacturer's Intranet. WindowsNT is the server platform of choice.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">PROBLEM: This Intranet/Extranet was going to be designed to support dealerships nationally with important up-to-date technical bulletins. In the past two years they had compiled thousands of pdf files which they were indexing with Adobe's Acrobat and they would burn CD's quarterly for all the dealerships. This means that real imortant updates would have to be sent by Fed-X for delivery the next day in paper format which would often end up misplaced, destroyed, or just plain impossible for the mechanics to find.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">SOLUTION: Adobe's <a href="http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/ifilter.html">"PDF Ifilter DLL"</a>! When we found it on Adobe's website, noone knew about it. We talked with the Adobe Engineers who referred us to companies that had $25K plus solutions for what we needed. Microsoft's Engineers also referred us to expensive alternatives. When we found this needle in a haystack we couldn't believe noone knew about it. Microsoft referred to it briefly on a couple web pages and Adobe referred to it on three pages but it was barely documented and not suported by either. It was funny when the Adobe salesperson called a week later and we told them that we were using one of their DLL's as a solution. He blew his lid because he was in the process of setting up meetings with other vendors for us. He was also embarrassed that none of THEIR engineers that we talked to knew about it.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">You'll notice that Adobe is working on a beta DLL that works with IIS 4.0. There is also improved documentation and more referrences to it on their site. Unfortunately the PDF Ifilter 1.0 ONLY works with Index Server 1.0 and IIS 3.0. The IIS4.0 beta is available as well.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The ifilter.exe file registers a dll in seconds and voila, Index server amazingly picks apart those darn pdf files. Enjoy!</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2">Now, go learn how to make index server work for you! </font><font size="1"> </font><font size="3"><strong><a href="http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=4&txtCodeId=6209">It's here</a> ( In its "draft" stages!)</strong></font></font></p>
