Hmm .. you are right. I wrote it on a text-only CP/M based Microbee,
using stacks
of floppies before HD's became common. It's one reason I appreciate
*nix's CLI and
see M$'s GUI as a passing phase. Will Etch recognise text written using
the CP/M OS ?
I guess there is only one way to find out ...

As to copyright, I did my M.A. (Hons) at Macquarie Uni in Sydney - I
have yet to
hear of copyright issues preventing publication. Copyright applies to
others appropriating
an authors ideas, not publication by the author .. but you've given me
an idea.

If Etch can read CP/M text I can forget about scanning, and put a PDF on
a USB ..

How many Mb would ~320 pages be ?
