The Calendar runs from May 2000 to December 2001. All months are supplied as high quality 300dpi files. To fit them on to WOUK2000, we had to compress them using MrSID. Therefore you will need to export the file from MrSID before printing (the file will be too large for many people's printers if printed direct from MrSID). Please follow the steps below:
- When you click on the zipped file, select to open/run it. The three self-extracting executable files can also be found in '/BNSC/STIMES' on your WOUK2000 CDROM.
- Enter the password (see below) and save the files to a new directory on your hard disk.
- Open the files in turn in MrSID, then export them using these settings (you can experiment with others, but the resultant files may be incompatible with your hard/software unless it is fairly advanced).
- Set a directory to Export the file too
- Click on the 'Set Export Area to Full Dataset' button
- Select a Resolution of 4:1
- Click 'Go'
- Then open this TIF file in your image viewer and print in the normal way. You may need to adjust the page settings to cover the full print area. Use high quality ('glossy') paper to produce the best quality image reproduction.
- Compile all the pages to produce your 20 month calendar.
- The passwords for the Calendar files on WOUK2000 are listed below:
- Part 1 (Password: 090400bnsc)
- Part 2 (Password: wwwbnscgovuk)
- Part 3 (Password printed on BNSC's main web site from 10 April)
- Alternatively you could use WOUK's top secret page.
