RE: Sad News - greendyk.nl Website Closing Down
I just downloaded the HP-67 manual, by visiting all the pages in Chrome and manually saving them as "web page, complete." Some care was needed because the arrow buttons at the bottoms of the pages skip the chapter title pages, and also, the images linked from the css are not fetched by saving the web page, so I got all the url("foo") bits from the css files, removed duplicates, and created an HTML file with <img> tags for each one, then loaded and saved that. I'm reasonably sure that means I now have all the material to re-create this one manual.

The whole download process took me about 2 hours for about 340 pages. This was longer than I expected, in large part because when saving the pages, I had to edit every filename to change "foo.html" to "foo-pageNumber.html".

Any volunteers to download the other manuals this way? I'll be happy to do the work to make it all work together by fixing the links (assuming the various manuals are all built more or less the same way).

(For what it's worth, it looks like the HP-67 manual is the longest of the lot. Smile)
