[Coco] C Compiler Website / Archive Question

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Hand typed, that was a lot of work. I am sure that future NitrOS-9 C 
programmers will appreciate your efforts.

Adobe put this at the end:

---------------------------------- 

It must have been the OS-9 manual that I scanned and did a rough OCR that 
was worked on to produce a much better copy.

But I could be wrong on that also. I do remember doing a lot of scanning, 
OCRing and uploading to RTSI decades ago.

OCR packages differ widely, I think decades ago I used the best OCR program 
available, but then it was a Warez version.

Aaron I believe has the best one available today.

I am leaning toward collecting all the credits for the good work into one 
place.

But Dean may wish to do it differently.
