Hi Mark,
 
Great to hear from you. I had assumed that as the mag discs had been placed
in the public domain when the magazine closed, that no-one would object to
the text being made available. However, you are right that we should check.
Where did you get your 'impression" from? Any idea where I might start? I've
seen a reference to Sheridan Williams
(http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/articles/9.htm) and might try him --
he'd perhaps know whom to ask.
 
Assuming that hurdle can be overcome, would you like assistance with the
scans? What form are they in at the moment -- pure images or PDFs? OCR
layer? If you are up for sharing the work, I'm thinking I might post a
hard-drive round the volunteers.
 
-Andrew

OK, here?s where I am with it. I have volumes 1-11 scanned which make up
about 28GB of images. I had asked on the list regarding Vol. 12, and if
anyone was prepared to scan or lend it to be scanned. I had a couple of
replies but so far it hasn?t materialised. 
 
One of the big show stoppers to sort out before any major work is undertaken
is the copyright. I am currently under the impression that the copyright
holders (who are still active in the IT world) would probably object to them
being made openly available.

Hello Andrew,
I started doing something similar until Mark Usher told me he already had
Vol.1-11 scanned. No point in doing it twice but maybe we could help him to
get out the scans quicker. (Hello Mark!)
