BCRA > Accessibility & Copyright Info
- Accessibility
- HTML documents are said to be accessible if they are
optimised for users with physical disabilities, and are compliant with a
variety of software and hardware configurations. The pages on this site have
been tested for accessibility and standards-compliance using software tools
designed for the purpose. Where shortcomings were indicated by the tests, we
have verified that the effects are minimal. However, we advise that you use a
screen with a resolution of at least 1024 pixels in width, and a browser which
runs JavaScript 1.1 and HTML 3.2. Most 'modern' and 'main-stream' browsers will
suffice, but specialised text-only browsers (especially those that do not
recognise HTML Tables), or browsers running within an arcane operating system
may not be suitable for reading these pages.
- Visually-impaired users should note that you can specify
the font sizes, styles and colors, and foreground and background colors of web
pages displayed on your computer screen, even if the author of the page has
already specified these. You can also specify the colour used to indicate links
in web pages, or a special colour for links that is used only when the mouse
passes over the link. This is useful if you have low vision, need larger fonts,
or need high-contrast colors.
- Some pages on this site require JavaScript to be enabled
within your browser. (See further information).
Some pages require the use of Web Cookies and so, according to the provisions
of the Privacy and
Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, SI 2426, we are
required to provide you with information about the purposes for which we are
using them. (See further information).
- Access Keys
- Access keys have been defined for the new-style pages on
this site to enable you to navigate using the keyboard shortcuts shown in the
list at the foot of this page. (The old pages on this site will be gradually
updated during 2006). Additionally, your browser probably has shortcut keys for
back (try alt left-arrow), forward (alt right-arrow) and home (alt
home).
- The Access Keys facility is only supported by MS Internet
Explorer 4 and above and by Netscape 6x versions. To use the facility, press
the ALT key and, simultaneously, the access key number or letter. Release the
keys and then, with some browsers, you need to press the RETURN key.
With Macintosh-based systems you should use the CTRL key instead of the ALT
key.
- File Formats: viewing and downloading
  
- Some documents on this site are stored in Adobe Portable
Document Format (PDF) or Microsoft Word format. These file formats are used to
store documents with complex formatting that the authors would like to preserve
(typically text in several columns and mixed with a number of graphics). Some
documents may be compressed using WinZip.
- PDF: To view and print PDF files, you must have a
PDF reader installed. Adobe Acrobat PDF readers are available for download for
most computers from adobe.com/products/acrobat.
If you are a RISC-OS user you could try

Google search.
GNU/Linux

- WORD: Microsoft Word viewers and converters are
available from office.microsoft.com/downloads/.
- ZIP: You can download WinZip from
winzip.com.
- Scope of Web Site
- Like any Web site, it is sometimes difficult to tell where
one site begins and another ends. Even within the BCRA site, the responsibility
for some pages has been delegated to SIGs, meetings organisers, bibliographers
and so on. If in doubt about the origin of a page, please contact the BCRA's
Web Site Editor.
- Copyright © BCRA
- BCRA owns the copyright in the typographical layout of this
publication. Additional copyright in the text, photographs, graphics and
computer code resides with the authors. The copyright owners assert their Moral
Rights to the maximum extent possible under the Design, Copyright and Patents
Act 1988 and any applicable subsequent Acts. Subject to statutory exception and
to the extent permitted in this notice no material may be reproduced by any
method without permission of the copyright owners. These Web pages may be
downloaded onto a hard disk or printed for your personal use provided that you

pages and that you do not use any of the pages in any other work or publication

- Disclaimer
- The authors' opinions are not necessarily endorsed by the
editor of this Web site, nor the BCRA. Information on this web site is given in
good faith but, nevertheless, it may contain errors for which neither the
authors nor the BCRA expect to be considered liable. This site is written and
maintained entirely by volunteers and any inadequacies in its presentation or
deficiencies in its accessibility are due to the fact that volunteers
frequently have only limited skills and limited available time.
