Off-Line version of this site.

Last Updated June 21, 2017.

From time to time I am asked for a copy of all files on the site to be run off-line on a personal computer. I am happy to make it available for those who need it.

Here is the download link. I suggest you elect to save the file to your desktop.

Zip folder of this site. 46 MB.

Double-click the desktop icon and a window will open showing all the files plus 3 folders. Everything is here. Press Control A to select all files and folders then press control C to copy them to the clipboard.

Open Windows Explorer and decide where you want them to be placed. I suggest "My Documents" which seems to be on every Windows computer. Create a new folder named "Fun with Tubes". Select this folder and type control-V to paste everything into it.

You may now close the first window. In the left hand pain of Windows Explorer, open the newly created folder "Fun with Tubes".

In the right hand pain locate the file "index.html" and double click it. Your web browser will open and it will look as if you are on the web but it all will be on your own computer.

Now in your web browser select favorites from the menu and add this local site. On my computer it is named "Fun with Tubes - Local". When ever you click on that favorite it will open without needing access to the web.

I will do my best to keep this downloadable version of the site updated whenever I change something on the on-line site. I may forget or if the change is very small, such as a spelling correction, I may just decide to skip it.
