Download Version Index of Files

The downloaded files contain the same information as the online files, although the formatting may be a little different. Basically I am only maintaining one version of this tutorial. There are two files in the downloaded version that do not show up in the online version. The two pictures to show spreads are inserted into the online version, but are included separately here. You can load these files with Word Pad (in Windows 95 and up) and print them. I also suggest printing out the picture files.
