Michael,
I am not a computer whiz at all, but whoever has the original =
copies of the Rhodes literature can have it converted to a .pdf file by =
Adobe online free (you get 5 trial uses). They must scan the documents =
into an accepted format . Adobe will do the OCR, then e-mail the pdf =
file to you. I converted the copy someone kindly posted to this list in =
doc format. The file was too big and went to the list moderator for =
review (you?).
Open your acrobat reader when online. click TOOLS>Create Adobe PDF =
online. but the file must be compressed to send it here.
Please respond to sprocket80@hotmail.com=20

it about 27 pages, tiff to pdf(postscript) for bitmap's is going to be =
huge, or be real hard to read at the lower resolutions to save size. =
OTOH html would be about 60kb+- reduced to 10kb for download by mod_gzip =
and allot more friendly to read and print. The other thing is looks like =
Stan typed in on a typewrite, good for conversion.The optimizer in me is =
showing. Bob has 1.2 meg file in word but this OCR software converted =
90+% to bitmaps in word :-). But Ha I am open to ideas, expressly when I =
am not doing the work :-)=20
My preferred formats would be html, PDF then word, I rely do not want =
to make people download openoffice to read it(but the original in word =
make great sense).=20
I checked out the decoder, I think they might need a "Fuzzy Logic" =
engine for my writing :-)=20

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 =

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?=20

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.=20
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.=20
