The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi,

I have inserted the missing pages that CHR$ kindly scanned and ordered the pages so the manual is a double paged non-OCRed PDF.

I find the scanned images really bad, with makes the OCRing with Tesseract nearly impossible.

I have started to type it all in to give a good quality manual.

If I could borrow a manual, I can scan it properly.

Hi

Just an update, I have performed alot more raster image cleaning changed all the page size to A5.

Now Tesseravt OCRs the dcanned images and prodices a better text output .

So should be able to complete the work without any other scanning.

Derek, you're doing a miraculous job here!

I hav to agree. I tried OCRing a document once. It was a nightmare and tedious. To do a whole book takes dedication. To do more than one, Derek, you have my admiration. Thanks.

Cheers,
Norm.

I had a look on those specific scans (that, for the most part, are highly unreadable even for human eyes), my admiration for you OCRing them is even higher.

Hi

I need some help from anyone with a QLC Manual, page 103 is not scanned too well.

The problem is on Page 103: SCANF/FSCANF/SSCANF: Sysopsis: last line: What should the last line say in the manual, it is not clear what the scan if says.

Code: Select all

Synopsis:

n = scanf(cs,...ptrs...);
n = fscanf(p,cs,...ptrs...);
n = sscanf(ss, cs, ...ptrs...);
int n; 			number of input items matched, or EOF
FiLE *fp;			file pointer (fscanf only)
char *ss;			input string (sscanf only}
char *cs;			format control string
"" ...ptrs...;		pointers for return of input values     <<---- This line

What should the last line say in the manual, it is not clear what the scan if says.

That's odd as the page you refer to is actually p90 in my book.
It looks like this: Shall I just send you my whole book Derek?

On the copyright page I note that the Spanish scan is 2nd edition (C) 1986. My version is (C) 1985, mentions no edition number and states that Metacomco is a trading division of Tenchstar Ltd.... an earlier edition by the looks of it.

Hi Chr$,

Send me you book and I will update the work so far through the Spanish scan of a photocopy.

I completed 60% of the manual.

I will. Could be confusing though, them being different editions with different page numbers. I'll see if I have your address somewhere.

Hi Chr$

The digital version is a new issue to the printed book, so I usually add an updated revision at the revision listing at start of the book.

The page number order may differ, as I try to get the all relavent information on the same page. This makes the page numbering different fom the printed book.

The document index and content lists are generated by links in the document, so as corrections are made to the text, the Index changes automatically.
