G. -- Any chance you're willing to share/send me your PDF copy of the VAX SCAN manual AA-FU79C-TE?  Was unsuccessful finding a PS version of the manual among the Freeware files -- didn't have time (yet) to search the zip-files thoroughly.

Yup, I'd seen and appreciated your 99-bottles-of-beer SCAN generator!  Well done!

Many thanks...
