I don't have a magic decoder ring - my Captain Midnight decoder got lost about 55
years ago :<
But I have an account on scribd. So I logged in; it's a little slow but be patient.
(BTW, configuration is Windoze x64, Firefox 3.01, Comodo firewall.) Logged in, push the
download button above the panel showing the cover of the book. This leads you to the only
option I saw - Acrobat .pdf. Click on that and it opens the book in Acrobat Reader (the
way my Firefox is set up - it can also be set up NOT to open in Acrobat Reader - which is
a change I intend to make, as Acrobat is as hole-ful as Word).
Anyway, with it open in Acrobat, just save a copy (it's numbers, I renamed it to the
title of the book and put it in another subdirectory than the Windoze My Documents).
Yes, I think it ought to be put on Bitsavers; I doubt Steve would have any objection, I
didn't get the feeling that he released it ONLY to scribdb.
I think highly of scribdb as a useful site. But I haven't tried it on an ordinary XP,
or NT, or Linux - just haven't had the occasion to.

Worked perectly here.
Download link dead on Firefox 3 under x86_64 Ubuntu, i386
Ubuntu and IE6 under Windows XP. In fact, most of the
controls are nonresponsive on all platforms.
Would anyone care to share the magic decoder ring settings
required to actually get my hands on the PDF?
