I checked out the decoder, I think they might need a "Fuzzy Logic" =
engine for my writing :-)

  Michael,

  Why OCR? Why not just a .tiff converted to a .pdf? Granted, a Word doc =
would be preferable, but a scan converted to an Acrobat file would =
suffice to at least get the docs out there, I would think?=20

  And what's wrong with your proof reading? I've been participating in a =
secret decoder ring project that should help every citizen better =
understand all codes - =

    I do not mind, but it needs a good OCR job, it would take a few =
hours for someone to do the proof read. If someone has a good package =
should  be a easy job. Volunteers?

    PS. I am sure no one wants me to prooof read ;-)

      Has anyone asked Stan's permission to post copies of Rhodes 22 =
documentation on the web site? I've got the 1988 version of the owner's =
manual, and it seems to me that a collection of relevant docs would be =
of real use to those who need it.

      Stan - what do you think? Would that be okay with you? Michael - =
if space is a problem, I could post them on my server and provide you =
with a link.=20

      If this has already been discussed before I came on the list, I =
apologize for the  repetition.
