Linking to the Martin Support Site 
    

This document describes how to link to specific information within the User Support area of the Martin web site. 

We occasionally receive requests for permission to place copies of our documentation on other web sites. As this increases the maintenance burden and/or reduces the freshness and reliability of the information, these requests are denied. Instead, we encourage web designers who wish to provide such information to link to the source on our web site. In return we strive to avoid making changes that result in dead links. 

Most documents can be accessed only through a database search query. (Fixture update software, however, is still available through direct links.) Search queries may be expressed as hyperlinks constructed from the service.asp script parameters listed below. Note: Values are case-sensitive: write them exactly as shown.
