Subject: Computist Archive Update: OCR'd PDFs
Brian Renweth spent many hours working on the PDF's from the DVD I
distribute.  The files have been re-cropped, color corrected, and
(most importantly) OCR'd.  The text of every issue is now searchable
from within your favorite PDF reader.  The new files are slightly
larger than the originals and are available for download now from my
site.  I am rebuilding the DVD image to include these new versions, so
any discs sent out from now on will have them.  Thanks, Brian!

Great work, Brian & Mike!

Searchable text is fantastic but the icing on the
cake would be a general index. Can I build it
myself (with the Acrobat Reader) or can you provide
one?

Marcus

Hi Mike.

That sounds absolutely awesome!
Any chance I could convince you to send one to Japan?
Or can I leech the image from somewhere?

I still have pretty much every issue of HC back home in NZ.

Cheers,
Nick.

Oops, that should say "Wiser" not "Renweth"

Apparently I can't build the index with only the
Reader. This functionality isn't built in and there
don't appear free tools to do this.

Did anyone notice that issue 12 (both zip and pdf) is a duplicate of
