Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Busby Scan

[jbarlow@bjservices.ca]

I am volunteering my scanner and time to this project.  If the Acrobat does
a passible job I can get that too to OCR it.
If there is a conseus as to format......  I don't know enough about it to
be sure but I think GIF is good.  I have heard about the "lossy"
compression of JPG before, though I won't pretend to know how the
compression algorithms work for either.

My scanner is a  flatbed not a mystery machine, though we have a Colour
Photocopier / printer at work which
really a scanner mated with a colour laser printer.  I wounder if the
output could be re-directed from the printer to simply save a file for each
page.  It is duplex too so if it can it would eat up the "sliced Busby".  I
will ask about that Monday.

Shipmates,

If someone is willing to take on the project of organizing the few folks
who have shown a willingness to scan all or parts of the Busby book, I will
share my master.  I have already sliced a virgin Busby book into individual
sheets.  That is how I used to make the photocopies.  So if someone with
the high-tech knowledge to do the scan and make the CD's is willing to put
together a little group of volunteers to finally pull this project off, I
will provide my master copy to the group.
