I'm on the digest, which also didn't get the attachments; I presume they 
didn't come through in the individual mails? No matter I suppose, 
although it would be nice if the list software could automatically strip 
out attachments, add them to the website, and forward as a link. I'm 
sure I remember this happening in the dim-and-distant past!

Meanwhile I've uploaded the four main searches to my webspace:

http://methodlab.ws/ftp/double_x_18_14_58.lst
http://methodlab.ws/ftp/double_x_18_14_58_36.zip (124KB)
http://methodlab.ws/ftp/double.zip (938KB)
http://methodlab.ws/ftp/rightplace.zip (1996KB)

The results do seem correct as far as I can tell. Double Helix itself is 
included in the third set of search results, in the form of the 
following TV, which has an identical path for the three trebles:

58.36.18x36.14.38x14.38.14.58.36x38.14.38x16.38x16.38.16.38.14x36x58.16.38.16.38x16.38x16.58.16x36.14.58.16.58x16.58.36x18.36.14

Here are a few more Double methods from more amusingly-restricted 
searches, in particular with no cross changes:

The 5th and 6th methods from the third list are particularly 
entertaining - the grid of the three trebles in the latter is very 
blocky, up-and-down-steps, as you'd expect from the place notation, but 
in contrast that of the 5th method is quite dynamic and spiky.

So, I am interested in what Philip's project may be. 45-spliced 
Differential silent-and-non-conducted in hand perhaps? I am sure there 
is no danger in telling us - it's unlikely to be something any other 
band will ring first. :-O
