I've emailed some comments, Joe.

Whilst playing about with the "Document Search" form (which is a brilliant *tool, by the way) at Joe's Pathfinder beta, I came across this collection of manuals:-

internetMED

Off-hand, I can't remember if they have been mentioned before.

@Huw: this list could be in need of due review, Mate.

* It searches on-line for manuals and (or) documents relating to the equipment concerned, then allows you to download and automatically poke them into the appropriate "box" (panel, pocket, pouch?) at the equipment page in view. In short it greatly simplifies what can otherwise be quite a laborious process (searching the web, downloading, renaming into a directory somewhere ... then - two months later - trying to remember where you placed it ... etc., etc.).

The Image Search facility gets a big Thumbs Up too. It searches the web for images (one of which you select) so you can insert a nice picture of the kit at top right of the main form. Very nice! And all quick and easy.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it has been mentioned before and I have been a member for quite some time.

About internetMED?

Yes ... it is (was) there, on Huw's list.

No disappointment here, Neil ... I was just "spreading the word".

Or (if you prefer), "recycling the word".

But what I was really doing was testing Joe's search engine (bot?) - hopefully to be with you all soon. It accurately (and rapidly) plucked out a link to internetMED (plus a number of others) when searching for manuals for a particular equipment type and model.

Found another link, http://kickass.to/medical-equipment-manuals-t4249270.html,over 100 manuals.

Have you got a decent link for us then, Neil?

There you go Geoff

Yes. That was my point.

Perhaps it doesn't apply to connections into the Magic Kingdom.

@Neil: best get them downloaded whilst (if) you can, then.

Meanwhile, back at the thread, I hear that Joe is busy beavering away.

Beavering away indeed, yes

Happy to say that the NHS budget isn't wasted on this little gem, what little time I have in my normal life has been carried away in a stream of code.

Anyway, I've emailed a copy out - It works well on my machine I'm hoping that this will be stable enough to let a copy into the wild while I continue at a slower pace.

For those that are interested in the recent additions of relevance:
- Choice of PDF Engine (defaults to internal one 'PDFSharp')
- Ability to create a virtual file for hard copy documents
- Internal (did I mention pretty) icon set as default (if it cant find one for the chosen file it will extract the icon)
- Create a 'Link' file to File, Folder or URL rather than copying the actual file across
- Interesting Splash screen
