Welcome to Downloads

We intend to add works to this page as and when they are completed. These will be aimed at all levels of understanding and study.

We include here EBook texts made using a Dos compiler for readers in some countries who may not have a modern High spec Windows etc PC. These can be read on the most basic machines.
These texts were originally made for class students when copies of the original printed books were not available.
NB: Occasionaly servers working flat out will not permit downloads easily. If you find it difficult to download a file try holding down the Shift key and then, with the right mouse button, click on 'save target file'. This usually starts the process.
