Granback" <NoGranmarkSpam@yahoo.com> The advice that you received to scan the document and put it up on your website is good advice. Then tell people here & elsewhere that it is available. There are a fair number of people here with experience in reading the old script (and translating as part of the process, of course) and you will put the collective wisdom on the analysis as opposed to that of just one person.
