Wow. That's fiddly. I can understand things being difficult - the
information density on a fiche is rather high.
Speaking of fiche scanning, I was going through some boxes last week
and ran across the source fiche for VMS 2.0. I know it's far from the
only copy in the world, but it did make me wonder if anyone has an
electronic copy. It'd be a hell of an OCR project (or an interesting
Captcha dataset), but even scans could be interesting to read through.
I've just checked out a nearby University's web site. They *seem* to
offer access to a microfilm/-fiche scanner that can output to USB
(whatever that means)--without any cost. As my girlfriens gives lectures
there, I'll have a look at what they actually offer.
