I did have to sacrifice a copy of the book to the scanner. I think the
end result was much better (and done much faster) than if I had tried
to keep it bound.
It was either that, or type everything in again. I'm pretty decent on
the keyboard, but that still would have take much, much longer. :)
I believe the original files for the book were in QuarkXPress. Heck,
in 1990, we didn't even have this fancy thing as the internet yet. I
believe that was back in the days of AOL and Bulletin Board Systems.

I agree that the Applescript dot command opens a lot of possibilities
because it truly links the two worlds together and you can
theoretically hand of data from the AppleWorks world and then move
with it in the Mac OS X world without missing a step.
