[GreenKeys] Dovetron Manuals

[Bob Camp]

Hi,

I would vote for both.

The printed manual is what you need if you have a problem and if you can get
one for only six bucks that's a steal.

As time goes on good manuals get harder to come by. The more stuff we can
get scanned and safely stored away on the net the better. The scan is only
going to be as good as the original manual. The only time to do a scan is
when good manuals can still be found. If we don't get this stuff converted
to digital a lot of it will vanish. That's a shame.

    Take Care!
