I created indexes for the five WesternDigital databook
PDF's I downloaded
and sent them to Al.
In a week or so I'll try a google search and see if it shows up.
I suggest anyone downloading PDF's that are not indexed spend just a few
minutes and create an index, it will help the next person.
I created a text file using the exact same file name as the PDF file (with
txt instead of pdf, and it was really 5 files). I created a three line
header and followed with one line per device with 24 characters for device
name, 8 characters for printed page number, 8 characters for PDF page
number.
Where more than one device was mentioned for a page I entered separate
lines with different device names and duplicated page numbers, I only
entered the 1st page number not a range.
If we all share the labor it shouldn't take long to deluge Al with index
files ;-)
It is possible that Al will not instantainiously post the index files so
for now if anyone else sends Al an index file it might be handy to say so
here so others will know they don't need to duplicate the work.

After sending the index files to Al I realized what I forgot: More
keywords.
I should have included the following text in the files:
WesternDigital
Western Digital
Datasheet
Data Sheet
That way if someone googles 'western digital wd1100 datasheet' it would show
up higher on the list (more keyword hits).
