Re: DjVu all over again (Was Re: Browser-friendly text


The book is probably not PD in the Netherlands (I have to research in 
that), but I am still interested in a copy, relying on the "copies for 
private study" exemption in Dutch copyright law. If it is not too much 
text, I might be able to provide some translations of the Dutch text. 
(Dutch, Flemish is considered a dialect of Dutch, both the Netherlands and 
Flanders use Dutch with exactly the same orthography).

I haven't been able to connect to your site.
