Things are going well but slowly. The text has now been scanned and is all in
word in fairly good order. It needs another run through or two to tidy it up
and
the diagrams need redrawn - the scans look pooh but
that will only take a few minutes.
Once it is done we can see what Bwana Jon wants done with it. I have Serif
PagePlus which can output as a
PDF so I am quite keen to try that - it was bought for
doing character shetes but the PDF does not have the underlines which makes it
useles for that. Other than that it is recommended.

Just a suggestion - if you have issues with the PDF export and the
document is in a fairly cross platform friendly format, you might want to ask
a friendly Mac user if you can find one. Recent versions of MacOS can 'print'
a PDF of pretty much anything they can display on the screen.

(1) OpenOffice.org, which will read MS documents and has an "export as PDF"
function;
(2) htmldoc, http://www.easysw.com/, which converts HTML to PDF (among
other things) and allows a lot of fine-tuning.
Both of these are free software and available for Windows as well as Unix.
I have a Mac with MS Office, if Windows is the source. Jon is right, OS X can
export any printable document to PDF.

Hi,
I have Acrobat printer driver files for my PC, so I can output.pdf from Word.
Can do it from PageMaker for that matter too, though more work to format
properly. Let me know if you want to try the Word.pdf thing...

I've been following this thread with great interest. I can re-do Tables
and charts, etc. if need be. Just say the word.

Its done Chapter by Chapter and the whole thing zipped is 17MB, I can upload
it somewhere as individual chapters if required or you can wait till I have
cleaned up all the pages, only done the first 4 chaps yet.

Why don't we set up a dirtside account at sourceforge? We can then use their
versioning system to allow people to "check out" chapters, go over
them, and re-submit them when they're done. Then all Paul has to do is
confirmt hat they are done correctly and approve the chagnes.
Let me know and I can set up the account, or whatever.

I'd be happy to edit chapters if this is set up.
I'd also like to suggest that there be a version with the various errata
plugged in. There isn't much, so it would be easy to do.
