TYPING IN - yes, each and every character and punctuation mark.

Just call it a labor (er, labour) of love. Thoroughly enjoyed the chance to go through these in detail.

Upon rereading these files, I do discover typographical errors, and continue to upgrade my files with these corrections. Amazing to me, considering how many times I have looked through these files, to discover some errors that somehow have managed to escape my eye on previous reviews. It just gives great motivation to read each word carefully rather than just scan over a part because I feel I know that episode so well.

These are in ASCII TEXT mode, easily scanned with the FIND command to discover the usage of certain words. It has been very helpful in researching these works.

If anyone has a word they want scanned for, just let me know. It is no problem to make a pass with FIND to come up with the answers. My Email Id is available from the ID at the top of this entry to the forum.

The hard part? Typing in the password the Eels used in Secret Water. Once I got that in, and corrected, and corrected, I did a CUT&PASTE for subsequent references to avoid having to try to get that thing right each time.

By going over these books with this need for detail, it is amazing how much I found that seemed new to me, that for some reason I had either missed on previous readings, or went over so quickly that it did not stick in my mind. It just added to the pleasure of having these adventures all over again.
