Thanks for the offer, Frank.  I'm good with the scans at this time,
though.  I'm figuring one or two issues a week, until the 8 x 10
issues are done, then the three Books of Softkeys.

Thanks to Michael Mahon, I think I've got a workable solution to the
tabloid problem; that is, taking digital photos of the pages.  I've
got a few kinks to work out in the process, but the end result should
be good.

If I can actually maintain a good pace, I might be able to finish off
the Project by the end of the year.
