there is an option in google doc to make public that file providing and http url, try Share -> Public as a web page... it may work if google does not mess up the txt too bad

Already is :(  Mind you I hadn't realised that!

Thanks though

I don't know. I can access it from within OOo Calc so it might be an authority problem but it seems unlikely or would Google sites have some strange restrictions ?



 I did discover that the trees.txt file was rather messed up so I tried again with a clean csv file and I'm still getting the same results.  It currently is not all that important but it's definately annoying.

The
 only difference I see is the http vs https, perhaps you require a sort of auth to access that file.
