Thanks Jim,i stuffed up the resizing,i had my Scanner on its lowest setting and the files were still too big to upload.If you can't read a certain page just download it and magnify.
I had all this(and a lot of other things) scanned on my Win 98 computer but for some reason it won't boot.

thank you so much Basil that is fabulous

I copied the pages and have saved them and they are opening up fine - thank you a lot of work in that along with the upload

I remember scanning the pricebook for serial from the Carlisle book and it took a bit of fiddling about to get done and then send via email

No problem,i was about to post in the other Thread to tell you they were here.I'll fix up the scans so their readable as forum pages one day.Main priority is too get my Win 98 going again,i think the HDD is frozen or its electronics have crashed..

Oh wow! A bit of light reading there.

How come you didn't OCR it though?

The hardest part of OCR is the validation. Depending on the scan quality, accuracy can be perhaps 90-95%, and it needs human assistance to get it to 100%.

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ for example, uses crowdsourcing to correct their OCR'd results. When you search for something, as you read the articles it presents, you are encouraged to edit them to improve the quality of the repository.

Sounds like a bit of drama Fulvio,i've also got SW that downloads multiple files but i've never used it as i only post the occasional Pic.on Forum sites.Also some books still have copyright so not worth posting scans of a complete Book if your not sure.
