Archiving docs

Also tinker with the JPEG compression settings, you may be surprised how much space that will save, and how little it will affect the images. Reload the saved images to examine the loss. Yesterday I noticed that the latest version of an image thumbnailing utility, ThumbsPlus, can save HTML versions of the thumbnailed pages. This may be a very good way to organize your images for the CD: it would make an HTML page, viewable in any browser, that showed all the thumbnail versions of the images, and you could click on any one to enlarge it. See <http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~itda/frames.html> where two fellows have laboriously scanned, OCRed and converted to Adobe Acrobat PDF files several documents including the Shugart SA-800 floppy service manuals and several Terak docs. An 18-page service manual with three-four pages of images is 262K. I plan to archive the ASR-33 service manuals and other Terak docs. - John Jefferson Computer Museum <http://www.threedee.com/jcm>
