Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - New version of Wiz8SpellAbility spreadsheet available (v2.00)

It has come to my attention that some users have not been able to access my web site at http://wiz8.web1000.com/ but rather, get re-directed to the web service provider's home page. I have since been informed by Web1000.com, that they have a policy about denying access to so called "non-english" speaking countries. Personally I find this abhorrent as I believe the Internet and it's content should be available to everyone, these type of policies are a hair-width away from censorship of the Internet. Such things would be expensive, time-consuming and ultimately impractical, as I'm about to demonstrate. A user who was affected by this blocking policy provided me with the following link which enables those who were unable to access the site, to view it's content as usual:

http://www.metaspinner.net/cgi-bin/n...8.web1000.com/

So if you have tried visiting my web site and been getting Web1000.com's page, try using above link to download the Wiz8SpellAbility spreadsheet and view the various other Wizardry 8 related content available.

Regards,
- Wolfie

PS: Work on a non-Excel version of the spreadsheet is nearing completion, just going through last phase of testing. It won't be as "pretty", but works the same way and gives the same results.
