If there's anything specific that someone requires, I'd be more than happy
to do the scanning /OCR-ing /PDF-ing or whatever if Jon and I could
arrange some way to allow me to borrow the articles in question ....

Subject: Re: [BBC-Micro] Doc Project
I have a small ton of BBC/Elk/Master related books including a few rare
items. Hobbit tape drive + manual, etc.
I also have almost or indeed every issue of Acorn User, Micro User,
Electron User and Let's Compute and permission from the publishers to
reproduce any and all non-commercial software that ever appeared in any
of them. The official line, when I asked eight years ago was that any
articles could be reproduced only with the original authors permission.
But for non-commercial reasons most people might be happy with fair use,
after all these all contain a huge amount of very useful information
that is today, to my knowledge, totally non-viable commercially.
I also have permission to reproduce for non-commercial purposes the
software that was also included in Acorn Programs, Archimedes World, A&B
Computing and any Acorn related magazine that the rights to were bought
by IDG Media.
There is also a big pile of magazine and user group disks that are not
available anywhere else to my knowledge such as the Solinet User
Group disks. I could image all of these at some point when I have the
time. But I suspect that Ron Marshall would fight to the death to
prevent these ever being released.
I don't have a scanner and my hard drives are tiny and usually half
knackered not to mention the PeeCee I currently have. When my hardware
gets a major upgrade I may be able to contribue more. When I get
broadband, a server and a fixed IP I would be willing to provide server
space.
It is a great pity that I have all this and cannot share it as yet.
Jon R.
