That's excellent news actually:)  - I am happy to image them, and will pay
postage.  Also, you've got a missing in action manual there! No one's
scanned the Pascal Standalone Generator manual yet and no one that I'm
aware of has actually located a copy of it before now!  It would be really
good to be able to PDF-ify that too.

Best,
Daniel
