FWIW:
ABBYY OCR would likely, with a bit of editing, produce an "ancestral"
template of "today's" manual, if there be a decent hard copy floating
about. Then that'd be where the fun starts.

Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - SQL book
I was a co-author of those books, with David M. Blocker. I'm afraid
they are beyond recovery. The last versions were written in Ami Pro,
WordStar, or maybe even the Describe word processor on OS/2, and
self-published by David. Even if we could find the source files, I'm
not sure we could read either the floppy discs or the format!
I'm not sure if David still subscribes to this list, but if he does, he
may chime in.

Decades ago there were two SQL books/manuals specific to R:Base
written
by some top developer(s) that was available to the R:Base Community.
I
believe the author's name was Dave. I can't remember his last name
but
I do remember his face and I think there was a contributor to the
manual
whose name was Dave as well. I had one of these huge 3 ring binders
and
I am wondering if that document is still available in some form for
purchase or share?? My R:Base SQL skills are rusty these days.
Fondly,
Tom
