Aquarius Extended Basic Manual   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #699 of 1288 |
Hello Again Folks,
The Mighty Martin Steenoven has scanned the Aquarius Extended Basic Manual
and I processed those scans lightly (just rotation and cropping) and batched
them
into an indexed web page.

You can view it here:
http://www.residenteasel.com/aquarius/aquariusextendedbasicmanual/

and download here
http://www.residenteasel.com/aquarius/aquariusextendedbasicmanual.zip

I tried to upload to the group but the file that is 4.6megs on my machine
apparently bloats on Yahoo's servers to something greater than 5megs
and it gave me grief for that.

I also processed it to a PDF and that was 14MB, ouch! Here it is.
http://www.residenteasel.com/aquarius/AquariusExtendedBasicManualpdf.zip

If I come up with a solution that can fit on the groups space without making the
pages
unreadable I will post it ASAP.

Does anyone in the group have access to OCR software and would you be willing to
process the scans into text that can be searched and copied? If so I will clean
up the files
for contrast and sharpness, also cropping out the page borders and remove images
and
post that on my server.

Note to Martin: THANKS and the copy I sent yesterday had a typo in the filename.
This new version the typo is fixed and I removed the email address from the
pages.

I hope these pages bring everyone the thrill of 1983 all over again.

Mr Bill
