I can't really speak for Al, but since he uses my Ricoh scanner for
a lot of his scanning, I'll try anyhow. :-)

The problem with putting PDP-11 software manuals online is that Mentec
still owns and sells this stuff. If someone were to convince Mentec
to grant permission to put scans of PDP-11 software manuals online,
I think Al would be happy to do it.

Note that some PDP-11 software is NOT owned by Mentec. Obvious
examples are DOS/Batch, IAS, DSM (Mumps), and diagnostics. Al has
already scanned some DOS/Batch docs, but I'm sure that if more of
these manuals were provided, he'd get them scanned.

You'd have to check with Al to be sure, though.
