Heill Keth,

Some of the scans that Sean did have the page numbers chopped off. The .GIF
files are in the order that he had them scanned. I can add the page numbers
to the ones that were chopped off but that is about as much as I can do
unless Sean rescans for me.

On the size and the color, again those are how the files came to me and my
main priority was to get them up quickly so the dictionary could be of use to
the most people, but now that I do have them up and can start making some
adjustments. I wanted to keep the originals large for OCR but I can reduce
them now and also do a negative image on the .GIF's. I have a test image up
at
http://www.midhnottsol.org/public/concise/gifs/test.gif
It looks pretty good on my screen. I am hoping a few people can go check it
out to see if it looks good for everyone. If so then I'll start working on
converting them. The image I have there is 751 pixels wide. I won't be
able to get it done very quick but I'll work on switching them gradully
perhaps 10 pages each day until I get them done.

Thanks!
