When everything was moved over to these forums was tere a cut off date for moving uploaded files? If you look at this thread:

https://communities.ptc.com/thread/17512

the Mathcad worksheets for all the early posts are missing!

Everything was supposed to move over, but there was so much data, that only posts and worksheets back to 2005 moved over. Let me know how much of a problem this is.

yes it is a problem.... I'm sure I have refered to a Quaternion post in 2003 a number of times.

A suggestion is that you transfer across all of the ealier thread that have a recent link to them. e.g. If a thread between 2006 and the present links to an uncopied thread, then copy across that thread. This will limit the data to be copied across to those that others have found important.

You can choose the level of overlap to manage the size of the transfer. These data reposirories are where the value is.

There is also (probably) a need for one level of recursion, just in case, for threads that refer to other threads.

Someone will probably need to write a Perl script (choose you poison of script language 😉 to identify those [complete] threads.

Ok Philip, you have a point but I have no recollection

you ever had posted a single work sheet .

No problem for the Quaternions, read what I have

posted this week. Quaternions have no interest

if they don't come as a tool, especially in Mathcad.

True, some precious work sheets will be lost.

Those for instance from Xavier, Paul, Robert ...

Fortunately they are all in my box because those

names [principally] were my mentors.

There may be more lost from Russia

... Valery, Yuk, Viktor ... Martin ...
