NO NO NO DO NOT DO NOT MAKE TIFFS FROM THE WONDERFUL KH6GRT DRAWINGS.

Converting to TIFF will turn a wonderful, zoomable drawing into a bitmap.

DO NOT DO THAT.

I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW AWFUL IT WOULD BE.

There is so much detail in the KH6GRT drawings.

To turn it into a bunch of chunky bitmaps would be so so so BAD.

I do not know KH6GRT, but whoever is thinking about re-issuing the
Y2K manual should get to know him. He clearly knows how to make
really wonderful schematics using some CAD tool. Whoever is making
a re-issue should get the files straight from him.
