It wouldn't be too bad if my new upload had actually fixed everything.
Unfortunately, it didn't -- it has been brought to my attention that page
46 of the supposedly error-free file gives an error that prevents the
printing out of NAGEE 9...

I am *this* getting close to throwing the towel into the ring and stopping
my DTP activities entirely because I am utterly sick of having far too
many hard- and software problems that IMnsHO shouldn't exist in the first
place, but I'm not quite ready for that yet... So, as a last attempt to
fix this issue (any bugs after this are simply tough luck for anyone who
happens to find them, and I mean that) I'll re-PDF the entire issue but
leave out the links and bookmarks because they take about two days' work
to put in. In other words, it'll be a file intended for printing out and
not for browsing on-screen. If you want bookmarks, you can get Acrobat and
put them in yourself...

*phew* Rant over, I guess :) If you've got a buggy version of NAGEE 9 (you
can check by PageDown-ing from page 1 to page 92), download it again after
reading this message.

BTW, in case anyone is wondering (I already had one person point this out
to me, thinking it was an error): the blank space on page 16, where it
looks like an image should be, is intentional.

Is that an attempt to cheer me up by hinting that I'm not the only one
suffering from these sorts of things? :)
