Steve uncovered a real treasure trove of stuff from EPRI! I urge everyone to
read it. Good for Steve and good for EPRI.

HOWEVER, the Acrobat files from the EPRI site are peculiar. They are bigger
than they need to be, and they are not "searchable" (not text under image
format). Some have text under the image which is all wrong. I guess someone
did not know how to set the Acrobat parameters. Acrobat is an unfriendly
program with lousy documentation so people often get it wrong.

Anyway, I converted the papers to conventional text-under-image format and
reduced the size. I am also eliminating some of the noise (speckles and
dots) and correcting some of worst OCR errors in the underlying text. I can
display and correct the underlying text separately with ABBYY, and then
reassemble the Acrobat file. I have just about finished the last paper and I
will upload them tomorrow.

I will upload a better version of the NSF/EPRI book as well as the TR-
series.
