Excellent, I'm sorry that I never followed up your offer to meetup for
those scans. As usual, I have a list of pedantic questions:

Are there any sheets missing? Would you like any help filling the gaps?

What format are they currently in (eg tiff, geotiff, jpeg)? What size is
the set? 

How did you wish to disseminate them (eg bittorrent, ftp, CD-R/DVD-R)?
Geotorrent <http://www.goetorrent.org> would seem quite suited for this
task.

What format did you wish to release them in (eg tiff, geotiff, jpeg,
jpeg200)? Do you wish for any assistance reencoding?

Sorry for the third degree, feel free to ignore this email.

Regards

Alex
