600 DPI is fine, but .JPG pretty much sucks for manuals. To get the best
compression for manuals, save the images as TIFF's using CCITT FAX 4
compression. This means B&W only, no gray scales. I believe PDF can use the
same compression if told to.

I'll do it if you like, I won't OCR, but I will convert them to TIFF's / PDF's.

I'll write you with a FTP site to download them if you like, but as I typed this
Martin's Email came in, and I'm more than happy to let him do it!
