It might be easier if someone with a manual which is not damaged would do
that. F1 Spirit is not a rare game, there should be many undamaged manuals
out there.

Sure.
Anyone else want to receive it? If so, tell me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's 300K
in size (LZH file containing GIFs).

Getting the manuals won't be the most difficult part, converting is. It
takes a lot of time.
And we would have to decide what the target is: is it intended to be
printed or is it intended to be read online? In the first case, PDF or
Latex is better, in the latter case HTML or PDF. But the problem with PDF
is that the tools to create it are not free.
