How about posting it somewhere - I'd like to see it as well.

Hello Giles,

I have a copy of it here at home. I'll look for it for you. Let me know
your
address.

I got the copy from Wright Patterson AFB library in Dayton Ohio.

Sure that's a good idea. What's the usual method? Taking a digital photo of
it?

Hi Gregg and all,

A 200 dpi scan in JPEG format usually gives fairly correct results,
provided the JPEG compression isn't set too high. Each page is then a 1
Mb image.

Best regards,

Gilles

JPG uses "lossy" compression (loses some data for the sake of better
compression), which is fine for photos. But with the compression set low
(higher number, nearer 100, 75 being considered normal) so you lose less
data, the file size gets pretty big. Better to use a format with lossless
compression, like GIF or TIF, for anything other than photos. They'll
give better reproduction, and usually smaller files.
