PNG or TIFF definitely. 8 bit greyscale too if you're going to decouple it 
from the OCR process - bi-level on documents that are in anything other than 
pristine condition tends to result in data being lost and the OCR process 
getting screwed up...

That one would definitely be good to see; I don't think I've come across it 
before (I've got all sorts of Nexus docs here, and things like network 
overviews, Nexus-Econet bridge etc., but I don't think I've ever seen the MDFS 
one)

Not sure if this MDFS I'll be picking up with the MDFS source on it will 
contain electronic forms of all the docs too - that'd be nice!

Dishwashers are great for cleaning PCBs and cases... don't think I'd risk the 
washing machine though ;)
