good a time as any to mention this..
I bought a step and repeat fiche scanner a couple of
months ago
and am going to start scanning the thousands of sheet backlog I
have, once I get all the fiche in one place and dedup it. ECO-LOGs
are definitely in there (have several DEC PDP-xx 'blue boxes')
Hi, Al,
Does the scanner have a setting to do row-major vs. column-major
scanning? I ask from experience: When I was putting Tops-10 v6.03A
on our 1070, I had to have a fiche listing of VMSER.MAC scanned to
PDF. As you know, DEC FS fiche sheets are column-major, but the PDF
came back to me row-major. I had to print it out on 11x17 to reorder
the pages for typein.
Later, when I had the time, I used Acrobat to reorder the pages in
the PDF, but that was also a major PITA.
Just thinking of you.
