It was the other setting creation one - Stevens Low Prep Campaign article.

OK, I'll see if I can find it. Librarians do like a good enquiry challenge.

By the way, does anybody have any ideas on running currency conversion mechanics? Right now I'm looking at using the purchase/sale price tables, but it's going to be interesting research

I would start with Trade and Commerce by Frank Chadwick in JTAS 4 which covers exactly this.

OK, my PC has booted up while I typed that out on my phone (and looked up the relevant article), so now I can tackle the harder question with some help. Fortunately, it's in an issue which I've covered in volume 2 of The Traveller Periodical (still a work in progress) so I can, rather more quickly than I had expected, track it down to #80.

I don't believe I can attach the article to a TML email so I've uploaded here:

let me know if that doesn't work.

I should probably, of course, encourage you to go hit the thing on the web when it's back online in case Jeff monitors usage closely.

We discourage academics (and students) from emailing each other PDFs of journal articles from databases we subscribe to because a) it's usually illegal or at least a breach of our licence conditions for 'personal research only', but more importantly/pragmatically because b) we measure usage of databases by cost per download and things get cancelled if the cost rises to more than the cost of inter-library loans.

While I'm pretty sure there's no danger from a) in this case, and I'm certain that Jeff doesn't care about our particular driver for b), let's suppose he was creating a list of 'top twenty' most downloaded articles for the edification of fans - or perhaps more strictly FT authors. I'd hate to deprive Mr Stevens of his place... ;-)
