Reachability of file ftp://ftp.mpi-sb.mpg.de/pub/outgoing/CGAL/Ridges_3_datafiles.tgz

[albert-github]

In the file Ridges_3/doc/Ridges_3/Ridges_3.txt we have the code:

\cgalFootnote{Model data may be downloaded via ftp://ftp.mpi-sb.mpg.de/pub/outgoing/CGAL/Ridges_3_datafiles.tgz . The mechanical part model has been provided courtesy of Dassault System to produce \cgalFigureRef{figmechanical_crest_filteredintro}, due to copyright issues the available model is not the same, it is provided by the AIM\@SHAPE Shape Repository.}

I was not able to retrieve this linked ftp file. Wouldn't it be better to have this file somewhere on a CGAL server or is this not possible due to copyright restrictions?

@pougetma do you have some files locally or in your archives?

There are more things to fix:

• "cgal:p-gd-01" in the sentence "the reader may consult [3],cgal:p-gd-01, as well as"
• The examples in the User Manual do as if a data directory existed
