Thanks Jess! I've had a hard time finding this manual!

BTW: If you have a fast CPU with a slow connection (56k or below), the whole
manual (stolen from Jess at the above site, ;^) then converted to 300 d.p.i.
.BMP files) and compressed with BMZ totals only 2.1meg (including BMZ.EXE and a
batch file to decompress the images.)

You can download it directly at: www.zonn.com/Compression/HPSA.ZIP

It'll take about 8 minutes (on a Pentium running at 133mhz) and 78meg of disk
space to decompress all the images. You can then use ACDSee's browse mode to
batch print the resulting .BMP files.

After this weekend (I'll obviously be playing with some of Steve O.'s Cine'stuff
this weekend) I'll try scanning whole Cinematronics manuals and see how big they
end up, and depending on size start making them available for downloading.
