BTW, I've mirrored all Petr's scans on GC's old site (but without the 
thumbnails), which I believe should generally load faster:-
        http://www.voynich.info/vgbt/Geheimschrift/Geheim.html

...yes, but what a great three pages they are! :-)

GC has scanned and posted many of these in the past - so I guess you're 
probably thinking of that. Or are you thinking of Project Gutenberg, which 
aims to transcribe (rather than simply to scan) old texts?

Given that Meister's work is (despite its age) relevant here, perhaps we 
might consider using OCR to convert it to text?

BTW, which OCR packages would people here particularly recommend? Adobe 
Capture? Clara OCR? etc

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
