I don't know why he does not just post the PDFs he mentions that he has,
and scan the rest to PDFs rather than using OCR and converting to text
and code.  While the task was a big job a few years back, the entire
task would take a few hours at most with a modern printer/scanner if the
source docs are in good shape.

Most web browsers read PDFs almost as easily as HTML these days, and
Goggle and other searches seem to index PDFs just the way that they
index text pages, so they would be accessible.

It is a shame that GEORGE's excellent material is not widely available.
His writing style is inimitable and his insights excellent.
