This sounds like a very good initiative. But it will take a lot of (your)

Hans,
I agree, jpg is not the format you want for line art and text scans. There
you want a black and white lossless format. Not popular,here, but GIF is
very convenient in size. I did convert all PNG pictures to GIF and that made
it to the previously mentioned 1.8 Mb. TIFF is also good.

In my view, all we really need is someone to convert the scans into a
single pdf file, so v9938.pdf can be viewed in Acrobat Reader. Most of the
other MSX datasheets are in this format.

Why not 256 color (or even B&W) GIFs?

Yep, please someone with time and OCR software: download it and process it to get a

Yup. Maybe TIFF would be better, it features compression and lacks the
copyright problems of GIF.

Hi Sean,
You can get half the size by converting the PNG files tot 256 color
JPG files and then putting them in a RAR archive. (6.868.605 bytes).
Another advantage is that you can view JPG's on your MSX.
