If you are happy to scan them (non-destructively) then that would be great! If it is not
too many shelf-feet then I would be interested in keeping at least some of them, I can
always give them to Jim Austin if they are too much.
Adrian, if you are prepared to ship them (along with the other bits and pieces we have
been talking about) I am happy to pay the p&p, although it might make more sense to
send the manuals direct to Mark.
Regards
Rob

If we can arrange for the manuals to be saved I am happy to scan them in and
make them available to bitsavers. After that I am happy for them to go to
whoever wants the paper copies. Maybe at the next DEC Legacy (which it
looks like will be some time in October now)!
Regards, Mark
