By the way, I took a quick look at all the scanned pages and I noticed a couple of duplicate pages.
* Page 3-18 is followed by pages 4-11 to 4-14 which are followed by 4-1 to 4-14. Therefore pages 4-11 to 4-14 are present twice.
* Page 8-8 is followed by pages 9-3 to 9-4 which are followed by pages 9-1 to 9-10. Therefore pages 9-3 to 9-4 are present twice.
I just wanted to bring this to your attention. This is no problem though since no page is missing. I was able to remove the duplicate pages using this Ghostscript command:
gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=out.pdf -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=68 in.pdf -dFirstPage=73 -dLastPage=120 in.pdf -dFirstPage=123 -dLastPage=246 in.pdf
This removed the 6 duplicate pages thereby reducing the number of pages from 246 to 240. The size of the PDF reduced too from 93615247 bytes to 92671554 bytes.
I really appreciate your effort in scanning the manual! Your help with my question has been fantastic! Thank you!
- rmini 2y agoThanks for letting me know about the duplicates, my scanner's ADF was struggling a little bit with the perforated pages. You're quite welcome, I'm happy it was a help. Logo was also one of my first languages and I've got a collection of implementations for most of my retrocomputing collection.
- AstroJetson 2y agoWow, any chance you have TLC Logo? It was from The LISP Company. My manual is from 1983. It was a combination of Logo and Lisp and was super powerful on my CP/M machine (I had a Zorba portable and an Xerox 820) Thanks!
- rmini 2y agoI'm afraid not, I've heard of it but I haven't seen it in my travels. I'm still looking for a CP/M-80 Logo (or DR Logo for DEC Rainbow).
- AstroJetson 2y agoThanks, I'll continue my search and I'll add yours to the list!
