This directory contains various PDP-8 and DECmate documentation, including
part of the OS/8 V3D manual set (more coming as soon as Lee and I finish
scanning it in).
From the January 1985 Software Documentation Products Directory (EJ-26361-78),
first page:
3. RIGHT TO COPY
Beginning January 1, 1985, Digital customers are given a right to copy, at
no charge, any Digital Archival Software Documentation Publication
(excluding restricted or third party owned) that we no longer offer for
sale. However, the copyright is retained as the exclusive property of
Digital Equipment Corporation.
I am hoping that this covers machine readable copies. If you're a DEC lawyer
and you think not, please drop me a line (at wilson@dbit.com). I'm eager to
avoid getting in trouble and will be very cooperative. Meanwhile I'll assume
this is OK. Thanks to Lee Nichols for making all of this available, and
for doing almost all of the OCR/editing work.

N.B. be careful when transferring these files, most of the underlining is done
using line overprinting with <CR>. Some file transfer programs (e.g. C-Kermit)
naively assume that when transferring a standard NET-ASCII file with
<CRLF>-terminated lines to a UNIX host, all you have to do is strip out all of
the CRs, when of course you should really strip only those CRs that are
immediately followed by LFs. If you end up with a bunch of underline
characters off the right margin of some lines, you blew it. If your
destination is a DOS machine, one solution would be to do the transfer in
binary mode, and then run the file through the ADDCR.COM filter, which is
available at:
ftp://ftp.dbit.com/pub/ibmpc/util/addcr.com
There is a corresponding REMCR.COM filter there that does CR removal correctly.
