[Coco] Scanned in manual for OS-9 Assembler

[Bob Devries]

Hi, Fedor,

I always scan in Black & White, *unless* the document has colours which do 
not scan properly that way. If necessary, I scan in either colour or 
grayscale, but for just straight text docs, b&w works best.

I think using grayscale does increase the file size significantly.

I have no idea whether Acrobat 6 (which I use) does a better job of 
compression than version 4, or whether the output of the scanner has some 
bearing on that.

What I'll do is print one of those docs from your PDF files, and then 
re-scan that doc, and see if I end up with a significantly smaller doc. I'll 
let you know the result.
