About another 1/2hr of general tidying up (rotating all the odd pages, since they came out upside-down), and about another 1/2hr cobbling together & debugging the HTML page. As for the OCR, I was getting terrible results with CuneiForm '99 (an OCR package I actually purchased, damnit). I've now downloaded a thing called ImageDock, which does a far far better job. I'm currently OCRing the Handbook (i.e. main user manual), one section at a time. Which is taking ages, but mainly because I'm sorting the layout so it's pretty similar to the actual manual. Currently, have done section C1 (13 pages + coverette), will do section C2 tonight (17 pages), etc. I'm going to try to complete one section per day (excluding this w/e), which should mean it'll take about 3-4 weeks to complete. So, if anyone is considering CuneiForm as their OCR package - don't. ImageDock is much better.
