[Coco] Does anyone have the documentation for MLBASIC 2.0?

[Steve Ostrom]

OK.  So how are other large documents scanned and preserved in the archive? 
I'm thinking of all the various Coco magazines, some quite thick.

I'm sure I can scan each page individually, or scan the entire ~200 page 
document as a PDF, or scan the document by chapters, with each chapter a 
separate PDF.  This manual is printed on full size 8.5" x 11" paper.

I have the time to do the scanning, but I only want to do it once, if at all 
possible.

Agreed. Since my scans consist mostly of documents (passports, for example), 
forms and text with images, I just do it the quick and dirty way scanning 
directly to PDF.

I have one document that is mostly text printed using a Dot Matrix Printer 
which I would like to take through the OCR process, but Other Activities 
have impeded it. Salvador
