Thoughts on restricted distribution documents (Dec Professional 350)

[Chris Zach]

Ok, it's scanned and a compressed PDF is up at:

http://iguana.crystel.com/pro350/xt100.pdf

Some of the pages are slightly skewed, I'll see about correcting those 
before putting the whole .tiff set up there (that's over 14gb). Not much 
difference between 300dpi (the first 20 pages) and 600dpi (the rest) so 
I might just scan at 300dpi going forward.
