[MRCG] [Army-Radios] [MRCA] VIC-3 TM's sought

[Richard Knoppow]

    This is generally useful information, thank you.
    FWIW, Windows 10 and some other versions have a choice of 
printing to a PDF in the pull down menu for printing. It is 
possible to download some document as a series of HTML pages, put 
them in a file and print the bunch as a PDF. Some work involved 
in getting things in order but works pretty well. This same print 
to PDF works for any printable file.
