Yeah sure. My 3 bookmarked sources:

http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/isotut/index.htm
http://webpages.charter.net/omniverse/stb_iso/stbenge.html
http://users.skynet.be/smellenbergh/

I recommend all 3 though I mostly use Smellenbergh's myself.. Great one..

Egads!  You can see the one by Samuel Benge at my place??  He asked me to
"retire" it but I wanted to keep it for myself so I assigned it to have no
access from outsiders.  Obviously that didn't work out if you or anyone else
is still able to get to it.
Dang.  Looks like I'll need to physically remove it to my HD instead.  Sorry
Samuel! and all.  Was a mistake on my part.

Anyway, the reason he didn't think it should exist anymore was due to the
fact it has been outdated and there are others people have made to take its
place now.

Hm, I checked the settings again and looks like it needed resetting.  Anyone
care to try this link for me and see if you're turned away in some manner?
TIA

Although i like Samuel's tutorial very much i agree, for new users it
would be quite irritating because some things no more work the same way.

The tutorial in the 3.5 docs is very basic (also because it had to be kept
short with not so many images to keep the filesize small) and tries to be
understandable for those not so fluent in math. Mike's and Smellenbergh's
are very good additions for those who want to learn more or need a
detailed reference.

I still can get it as before.

I think I should have made the web page itself nonreadable too, I only made
the directory it was in nonreadable.

I THINK having the directory non-readable just means that you avoid casual
browsing of the directory - if someone knows the filename that they are after,
they can still get at it...
