Hi Wade:
Ummm, I already thought of all that. I am a webmaster
and could easily incorporate it into my own website. I
do prefer HTML to pdf files by the way. Problem is
everyone passing copies to the 30 or so people who
would actually want a copy.
I think I am safe selling paper and ink copies because
although it is easy to copy the parts list, The size E
drawings are larger than the largest copy machines or
scanners I have ever seen.
If the market were larger, I would indeed sell it
online, but I already know how to do that. I will
probably just sell a copy on ebay now and again.
Thank you for your help though Wade.
