This was all printed using eroff (a third party DWB package for 386/ix that
includes HPlaserjet and postscript support) on a Panasonic Laser Partner.
I have spent about 60 hours (and a full box of paper) going over all the
documentation to ensure that it formatted correctly for the reduced size
printing.
(BTW-Someone asked if I really printed all 200,000 pages on my laser
printer - the answer is no way jose. I just printed the original
and had the printer do the replicating)

Virginia Continental Hawii/Alaska

Manual set $42.60 $41.00 $46.50
