DFWCUG Scanning Project update:
-------------
Greetings!

As you may have been aware, the DFWCUG Historical CPU
Preservation Society has been collecting DEC handbooks and
manuals for some time, with the goal of making them freely
available on the WWW. 

Despite modern automation, the scanning process is very slow and
costly, but it is progressing steadily, and several handbooks are
now resident on disk and DLT. We are finally getting some of the
materials moved through the process and onto the WWW pages. 

At this very early time, we have several programmers' reference
cards and pocket maintenance cards online in high-resolution PDF
format, as well as some good images of the front covers of a very
few of the various handbooks. 

In the future, the content of these and many more handbooks and
materials will be linked to the placeholders, for your reference
and enjoyment. We have a long way to go, so please bear with us
as we continue to bring this historical project to fruition. 

We will also be posting a special "Thank You" page for everyone
who has been so generous with donations of source materials for
the scanning project, as well as those who have donated classic
DEC gear for our restoration projects.

For now, a Texas-size "THANK YOU!" to all our contributors, and
Shout-Outs to David Cathey, Clay Denton, and John Wisniewski, who
have helped host, scan, advise, and build the pages for the site!
