I am trying to find the freespace 2 reference bible. Can anyone give me some links to find it please.

I have tried Violation watch and the freespace oracle, but they have not worked.

Thanks

There is no FS2 reference bible as far as I know, otherwise it most likely would be available for download in the official FS2 site.

is there anyone that can convert the FS1 Ref Bible into something other than Word 97 format? i dont' have access to MS Office and Wordpad won't open it.

[Mars]

Today I'll probably be able to convert it to PDF; I'll email it to you-- assuming Hotmail allows substantial (4.5MB) attachments.
Edit
Done

[Cobra]

send it to me in a rar archive or something, whenever i click download it goes back to my inbox.

[Mars]

Set JPEG quality to 50%, filesize now ~800KB, sent it to you.

Another option for opening Word files without M$ Word is OpenOffice.org

[Cobra]

i thought that was for Mac.

anyway, thanks for the ref bible, mars.

[Fury]

OO.org is available for Windows, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and Macintosh.

[Cobra]

ah. thanks.

I used Openoffice to convert it to a PDF

Use openoffice, it's free, it's for everything, it's backwards compatible, and it's better

[Scuddie]

and it's better

That is the one point I cannot agree with.  Ofcourse the other three points significantly outweigh this one .

[S-99]

Lol
And that's the only reason i'll say it's better. Besides that you might not notice any difference between openoffice and microsoft works, they're extremely similar. The only real main difference is slightly different layout, opensource file format (should you choose to save in that format), and it's opensource. And in which calling openoffice the better choice especially since it's legal, kicks the **** out of the ass of paying some several hundred dollars for microsoft office 2003 ($499 if i remember right quoting from microsofts website). In conclusion i say openoffice is better after further review

[Mars]

It's not nessesarially better, but it sure is a better value.

[Mongoose]

As long as it saves, double-spaces, and prints, I might just have to check it out.

[Ferret]

It's significantly better in that it's more stable, the interface makes more sense, it's way more customisable, all the other points already given and here's the big one - NO TEMPORARY FILES THROWN EVERYWHERE. It's like using a ****ing Mac.

Go to hell MS Office, go to hell.

As far as I'm concered, OO is only worse if you've used MS Office beforehand; functionally for most people they're identical, it's just UI familiarity.  Certainly I don't intend to ever buy MS Office again.
