It would be important to get the EN scanned in at high enough resolution.
Most documents on the web tend to be very lo-res to save space, but that
shouldn't be such an issue on CD.

I scan schematics at 400dpi, then adjust contrast and reduce colours to 16.
This produces relatively compact, readable schematics (eg
http://www.octavo.demon.co.uk/colinf/tr909/909noise.gif )

These are almost as legible as the original when printed out on a decent
laser.

Anyway, if anyone does get the go ahead from Bernie, I'll gladly take a
chunk for scanning / OCR.
