I cannot understand your problems with PDF files.
I've created lots and lots of PDFs, with treated and untreated scanned

garbage in, garbage out. I take the utmost care in my scans to have good
enough source files, so I can

Interesting comments Guy.
I'm completely naive when it comes to scanning things for preservation.
Your comments do pass my naive understanding.
But PDF literally cannot be used as a wrapper for the results,

The Foonly is not a /360.
The Foonly is more like a -10.

Thank you.
I haven't heard from Brett Glass in decades, since he moved to Idaho. He
ran the numbers and decided that the differential in market value between
his housing here and similar in Idaho was enough to support him for quite

Hi, made a number of updates to the sale pages on my site, and brought
back a copy of my commercial site (good for downloads).
Unfortunately I screwed up the .html pages and lost some links.
