Re: today in my travels i found . . Message #3 Posted by barry on 8 May 2002, 9:06 p.m., in response to message #2 by Ren sometimes i ask myself that same question! really, i live in a fairly small city (55K) compared to some of the previous larger cities i lived in; but wherever i go, i always am on the prowl for paperwork/docs/manuals/etc. i'm the guy at flea markets, swap meets, garage sales, etc thats digging thru the boxes to the bottom, looking for those items everyone else missed. http://home.att.net/~btuttleman/barrysite.html

Message #4 Posted by Ellis Easley on 9 May 2002, 10:19 p.m., in response to message #1 by barry From what I have read about the user's library, the catalogs would be tantalyzing but frustrating because the library archive itself has been lost - or lost track of. One possible benefit might be to use the catalogs as references to re-assemble the library by making the contents of the catalogs available publicly (with HP's permission, of course) and then asking people who might have copies of the library programs to submit them to a collection point.
