Thanks for the images, whatever the size.  If they are bmp's I can make 
them into jpegs at sdf before downloading.

Urlview got only the two website links, which makes sense.

I am cc'ing the list (without the attachment) with this very useful 
information.

I made myself a gmail account.  You no longer need an invitation.

You do need Opera or something larger to view the signup image (type the 
word in the box).  I tried lynx and the audio route but it would not 
accept what I typed in and went in circles.  Blind users can send an email 
for help.  Links cannot access gmail (someone said gmail detects the 
presence of javascript but links javascript is not adequate for what gmail 
then feeds it) but lynx can.

doc2png works with a scanned document by just stripping off garbage at 
start and end of the actual image.  But this was different garbage and 
more than one image.

A url extractor would not help with internal links so that project can be 
abandoned.

There are free online convertors that I should try next time.  Sometimes 
they post the output, sometimes they mail it to you.
