(It describes certain snapshot of BSD IP stack, _NOT_ Linux IP stack.) "scanning" means using a flat-bed scanner to read each page in as pixels, and then to OCR the text in, and manually post-processing it to clean and correct OCR mistakes, and finally to add HTML tagging. Possibly just hand-typing it all in. Finally adding pictures in as GIFs/whatever. If the pictures had not been obviously skewed/pixleized, it could have been published in that form from the source material, in which case the issue becomes more difficult to determine -- but it would have been at the publisher's site, or publisher approved with clear indication of the issue, anyway. An example of manual published directly into HTML is: http://www.zmailer.org/zman/zmanual.html Another can be seen at http://www.docbook.org/ (that with paper-copy publisher's approval!) > ciao, > Amit /Matti Aarnio - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
