Yes, I agree. Replicating the data, in a system which isn't organized to
hold it (i.e. the CHWiki) would be a desperation move, only to be

I could scan all of my documents with a specified resolution and lossless
compression, even if these are duplicates of Carlini's, so these can be

Hello,
yes, bitsavers and the efforts of Al are invaluable!
Considering that I'm referring only to DEC PDFs, but the archive is indeed
far more vast then this, the time to maintain all of it is way over what
normal people would dedicate to free time jobs... simply that could mean
that Al is a

Hello,
I also have a bunch of manuals, mainly for rt11, which aren't available in
