Dear DEVelopers:

I have that whole pack - and more - of GEM software. It came as a bundle
from a clearance merchant with their refurbished computers in the early
'90's. (I note that DR GEM /Scan/ isn't among them. I'll continue looking
for that one and, eventually succeed - or die trying.)

> Am bidding on it.. if I win will scan the manuals for upload
This has been mentioned before - and I think I have failed to ask then; so
I'll do so NOW.

Several of you have said that you have / had started scanning the GEM
manuals that came with various versions of the system software and
applications. Do "we" have a listing / table / database that one can consult
and update as to /what/ has been scanned already and what is available and
yet TO BE scanned?

As I implied (above), I have a 'nice' collection of original DR and DR GEM
'stuff'. I haven't /attempted/ to scan any of it for 'fear' that upon
completion of a manual someone will say, "Oh, I have that one scanned
already."

BTW, I /have/ started to 'inventory' what I have and that, as I recall, is
/nearly/ done. I have to 'do' one or two more but mainly just transcribe to
digital format my listings / notes.

Sincerely,

Thomas Clayton


P.S.:
Of course, you COULD mis-interpret the subject-line question as:

 Pete and Roger - excluding John and Keith (as they have died; although they
might have contributed to the project before then) - have scanned WHAT (ever
that is) and it's been finished for some time, now.

... but then we might as well inquire as to:
 "WHO is on first?"
and
 "WHAT is on second?"
;-D
