IBM Quick Reference Guide - 1992

To the previous poster: I use Adobe Acrobat Capture and it has a great advantage and a great disadvantage: Pro: It OCR's the text -- you can keep it as-is behind the images to make the images text-searchable, or you can use it to fully convert the images into text themselves (massively massively reduces the size of the file while increasing font quality) Con: The OCR is only 90% accurate. You do a lot of touch-up. I can email you a PDF I created just recently with it; it took 600 DPI monochrome scanned text from the IBM Music Feature tech ref and converted (with 15 minutes of my help) into pure text. Email me off-list if you'd like a copy to examine. -- Jim Leonard (trixter at oldskool.org) http://www.oldskool.org/ Help our electronic games project: http://www.mobygames.com/ Or check out some trippy MindCandy at http://www.mindcandydvd.com/ A child borne of the home computer wars: http://trixter.wordpress.com/
