Abstract: A method is provided for accessing files on a client node which is connected to a server node across a network channel. A first file is displayed on the client node, and context information indicative of this first document is stored. Rather than using a “hard” link which specifies a specific path/filename, a dynamic softlinking process is used to access a second file. A link, similar to a hyperlink, can be selected on the first displayed file to access a second file, where the link includes information indicative of the second file. To determine a file identifier for the second document, a data structure, having a plurality of file identifiers, is accessed using the context information and link information. The second file can then be retrieved from the server node via the network channel using the file identifer and displayed on the client node.

Abstract: A lightweight, retractable tripod support having three wheels for attachment to virtually all hand-held trimmers, metal detectors and the like. The three-wheeled support being readily retractable to a folded position for transportation and storage and extendible to a deployed or working position. The support having a pair of clamping plates flanking the trimmer's shaft, a rear leg, two lateral side legs, a slider actuator mounted to the rear leg for longitudinal sliding movement during transition between the folded and deployed positions of the support and an articulating linkage joining the actuator to the clamping plates.
