OK I'll broadcast what I started to do as a volunteer project.

I had no problem with speed of download, it was just the quantity of
pages to download one at a time.  Unless I did not see the a huge
large file somewhere.

Thank you for the effort of the initial scanning of each page of each
manual!

I wanted to put all the single pages into one document.  I decided to
start typing and place all the diagrams and drawing in the same page
as the jpg files. I've been attempting to re type the entire manual
and cutting and pasting the images in the text appropriately.  I'm
doing this in MS Word and MS Photo Editor.  I have about 10 pages
done on the ECU manual.

It's a slow process an there must be a better way to do OCR, but I
get to actually read and study the information rather than look at
the pretty pictures.

Ultimately I was going to post the results for the list in a MS Word
and a PDF file when it was finished.

Let me know if I'm on the right track and there is some interest in
seeing this done. I will accelerate the effort.  I was also wondering
how big this MS Word file was going to grow to with all the diagrams
inbedded so it may be a huge stinking file in Word.


Thanks,
