Re: Memory-Lane Monday: Documentation just takes up too much space | Computerworld

Al "bitsavers" Kossow has a HUGE backlog of material to scan - something like 25 pallets of stuff or something crazy like that - so scanning and archiving, while constant, picks away at that pile depending on which way the wind blows and who is begging for what. Almost constant, I should say.

Re: Memory-Lane Monday: Documentation just takes up too much space | Computerworld

I used to think so. But some years ago - decades ago, now, come to think of it - we were teaching users how to write their own DYL-280II programs, and ordering manuals for them as the need arose. My boss got tired of writing up purchase orders for manuals one and two at a time (at $150 for a

Re: Memory-Lane Monday: Documentation just takes up too much space | Computerworld

Is there someone at bitsavers that does scanning if we send them the manuals? Rates for mailing books is not that bad. I would send a few of my old ones to someone to scan. I also have a bunch of old IBM VSE fiche showing program listings for things like supervisor, vtam, cobol, rpg, cics,
