This is really cool, but will it be available to people? I don't know about
the CHM policies on this kind of thing, but if they're like most museums, they're
essentially a Roach Motel. Things go in and NEVER come out again. If this is the case,
would you consider uploading the materials to the Internet Archive?
Um, Al is generally pretty good at making sure things see the light of day
(and/or a nice fat pipe). There's this thing called "Bitsavers", you
see...
I wasn't making the assumption that just because CHM got something,
bitsavers got it as well. It's nice to see that is apparently how it
works.
