On the encoutner program i could release the important parts of the code (ie
the
strings of endless tables.  At that time i didn't make anything fancy like
data
files for the strings like I would now.  You could use text editors to convert
the pascal like write commands to your own and cut/paste the tables.  Would
that work?  If so email me privately.

I'm a bit ahead on this.  I photocopied the first 17 pages (basically not in
the
book 3 stuff i gave out the tables, upper world and all that stuff we pretty
much all know about.  Its 17 pages I could scan them into images and then
send those to you if you want to type from the images or try to OCR them?
i could type them by hand myself in a day or two in a couple months when
things die down.  Whatcha say?

The only problem with the copies are the red/gray areas which of course
didn't copy.  I'd have to type those up myself later for ya unless someone
wanted to do it.
