I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd rather have PDFs tha
nothing.  Documentation in a difficult-to-use format is better than no
documentation at all.

But if we're discussing the pros and cons of various formats, then it
*is* appropriate to criticize brokennesses in the formats under
discussion.

Only one, so far, and the directory full of bzip2ed scan files is only
some 42 megs - and that includes the duplicates for the pages I scanned
in greyscale and/or colour as well as lineart.

curious.
