In Response To: Re: Bitner Reviews Mino (GrimCleaver)

: Glad you like it!

: I actually used several programs to port it.

: There was the original manual, which I had open constantly to ensure an
: accurate layout for the port.

: I used ResEdit to extract all of the images. But not the text, which I copied
: straight out of the manual (ResEdit doesn't display extended characters
: correctly).

: Then I threw all of this into a TextEdit (Mac OS X) document to format
: everything. The original manual's pages were longer, so I had to do a
: little bit of reformatting to get the page breaks to line up properly
: (among other things). Finally, TextEdit has a nifty little feature for
: creating PDFs, so that was the easy part.

: By the way, here's a slightly better version (minor tweaks and fixes):
: http://download1309.mediafire.com/c1oafv08o1gg/4pwtcpwjnxt9l5j/Minotaur+Manual.pdf

That's an elaborate effort and it shows in the quality of the output. Thanks for the even better quality manual.

Anyway chance you would do this for the Pathways Into Darkness manual? It still languishes in DocMaker hell.

It would be great to have a PDF version for the PID page.

Thanks.

Cheers
