Among other steps, Will U take 5 minutes by 4 p.m CST TODAY to preserve your right select Canada's next PM?
In a time when we may experience many difficult circumstances locally and internationally, Hope this email finds you well! As a first next step among several: i) Over the last many days I made the following call to action and now pass on to you as well. Will U take 5 minutes by 4 p.m CST today to preserve your right to select Canada's next PM? Canadians who will be 14 years old or older on March 9 have the right to join the liberal party and thereby have the vote to choose Canada's very next PM on March 9. With the deadline later today please hurry. Without paying a dime you may register at https://liberal.ca/register/ Please note, this does not obligate you to vote liberal in the next election, only preserving your right to help select Canada's next PM! ii) Elections are usually the time when candidates are most open to discussing things of interest to ordinary constituents. Accordingly as an opportunity to push/pull the various candidates, with so many problems in the IT world, would the MUUG executive be interested framing concerns and questions directed at all the candidates of which one with 100% certainty will be Canada's next PM, even if only for a few weeks? This process could then serve as a warm-up as we do the same thing in the next upcoming election where we again have an opportunity to get the ear of the various party leaders seeking to gain electoral power on behalf of us the wider community? iii) I just spent the last 3 hours saving a lot of my open windows content as I needed to reboot before I could open yet another window to submit this request. Luckily Foxy Tab within Firefox makes one of these tasks easy and the url and subject line of all open window can be copied and pasted by one simple copy and paste. However only Wordstar to my knowledge has a non-document mode that can in one simple pass fix the copy and paste of the info just referenced as Foxy Tab does not register a carriage return, only line feed between the various open tabs copied making for an almost unintelligible document. In this round about way I ask is there a PDF reader that can search multiple documents for a key word or phrase? Preferably and possibly placing all results in an easy to use new file and referencing the source document? With my thanks and Best as we work for a better world!

In reverse order, the KDE indexer (whose current name I cannot remember) can search PDF files. So can many other tools. ASCII LF is the standard UNIX EOL delimiter, not CR+LF. New Mac also uses LF, old Mac uses CR. Only DOS/Win/OS2 use CR+LF. Many internet protocols also use CRLF, but not all. I would normally use the dos2unix and unix2dos tools to handle the conversion, because I'm too lazy to remember how to do it in tr/awk/sed. There's a way to do it automatically in vim, too. My wife and I have already engaged with multiple parties in a few ways, thanks. -Adam Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> ________________________________ From: eh@eduardhiebert.com <eh@eduardhiebert.com> Sent: Monday, January 27, 2025 8:23:14 AM To: roundtable@muug.ca <roundtable@muug.ca> Subject: [RndTbl] Among other steps, Will U take 5 minutes by 4 p.m CST TODAY to preserve your right select Canada's next PM?

When mine was at risk of being TLDNR thanks for the new info added on each point!!! Including in context your easy to follow unfamiliar to me abbreviations used. Your reference to KDE indexer becomes a further enticement to seek out a way to begin feathering in use of a Linux OS without dropping Windows cold turkey. Sadly I'm not there yet. Does anyone know of Window's based PRF readers that can search multiple files in one pass? Towards getting transition ready, then many further thanks for dropping the new info ASCII LF is the standard UNIX EOL delimiter, not CR+LF. Without your heads up, can you imagine how lost I would be as a DOS/Win user? BTW WS' very easy to use replace function makes it a breeze when internet functions like FF's Foxy Tab copy function when read as Windows based text is an endless strung together text. Perhaps its my dyslexia, or missing a basic fact, how/where do you navigate behind their all pervasive gatekeeping in order for you and your wife to have already engaged with multiple parties in a few ways? Best and with my thanks! Eduard On 2025-01-27 15:11, Adam Thompson wrote:
