Sooner or later I think it will be useful for someone to get hardcopy, even
ifonly to check the regenerated versions. There are places where it looks as
though something may have been obliterated in the original scanning process.

Per my recent message, I'm doing Section C. "KEA Specification" in LaTeX,DVI,
and PostScript. So far I've done pgs. 9-11, including a version of Figure 7
drawn in xfig and exported to Encapsulated PostScript. I'm tackling pg.12, the
last page of section C., right now.
