If you are happy to scan them (non-destructively) then that would be great! If it is not too many shelf-feet then I would be interested in keeping at least some of them, I can always give them to Jim Austin if they are too much. Adrian, if you are prepared to ship them (along with the other

If we can arrange for the manuals to be saved I am happy to scan them in and make them available to bitsavers. After that I am happy for them to go to whoever wants the paper copies. Maybe at the next DEC Legacy (which it looks like will be some time in October now)! Regards, Mark On 11 Mar 2016

Folks, We're refitting the last unrefitted office here and there's a full bookcase of grey heading for the skip unless anyone wants to take them away? Must admit in the 12 years I've worked here I didn't realise there was a shelf of RSTS manuals! Deadline is late next week so thurs/fri 17/18th.
