<DIV>Hi Ted:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That's exactly what I was getting at in my post a little while ago.
And as Dennis pointed out, QC is very important. It does take time to do
it right. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As you know, quad manuals are quite voluminous. High quality scans
can result in huge PDF's. In addition to setting standards for the scan
quality, I'd suggest that some thought also be given to the organization of the
files. Internet bandwidth and speed is less of an issue than in years
past, but still a consideration for many folks, so for on-line libraries, think
about the possibility of dividing manuals, such as having individual chapters
available. Conceivably, even files for individual schematics could be
desirable. If such an approach is taken, then standardizing the file name
conventions would also be a good idea. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You mentioned the LOC. Do they already have standards established for
this sort of thing? No need to re-invent the wheel if there is an
established system that works!</DIV>
