I appreciate all the offers to host these files.
I was surprised that there were no suggestions about how to
augment these files via OCR or PDF conversion.
I received an offer from a guy selling a $35 (USA S/H inc.)
"Classic Computer Reference DVD" on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4193&item=51…
He wanted to swap a copy of the DVD for a copy of these 20,046 pages.

Well I do not know said guy personally, but he does say in
his auction that he has permission from the various sites
to put the DVD together and that if you prefer he'll
happily tell you where to download the stuff for yourself.
In fact, he did so a short while ago in comp.os.cpm (I think)
so I would expect he is genuine.
I'd still like to see both collections up on the net though :-)

The guy selling these disks is Barry Watzman, who
I believe is a sometimes contributor to this list.
I recently bought one of these disks, and was very
pleased with it and the time it saved me downloading.
While some of this material was put on the net by
others, I believe that Barry himself has scanned
some of it himself. In any case, it appears that
he is providing a genuine service rather than
profiteering at the at the expense of others. I am
also a satsified customer of Bryan Blackburn, another
list member who has collected and scanned a variety
of Mark-8 related resources which he markets on E-bay.
I don't know either of these guys personally, just
a satisfied customer...
