Wouldn't it be nice if a copy of the original Manual *texts*, from which the
printed manuals were typeset, wound up in somebody's Email Inbox?  Then we
could make a *text-based* PDF, in which words could actually be *searched*!  A
PDF made from graphic images is a pretty sad thing, only better than the book
insofar as it is portable; and performing OCR on these printed manuals, as
Brian appears to be doing (judging from the three or four sample pages in
CUSTOM.ZIP), is exceedingly laborious (albeit meritorious!).  If I had the
text, I could make a PDF out of it in less time than it takes to write this
message.  It would look just like the manual, too.  Surely somebody has these
files stashed away...
