The Armour Archive

I'm looking for a copy of an article on hardened leather armour from a book by John W. Waterer titled "Leather and the Warrior".

I can remember seeing that section of the book in PDF format, on the web about 2 years ago, but sadly I didn't save a copy.

If anyone has a copy of this article that they could post or forward to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Mark Patchett

I don't have it, but I would love a copy too!

I typed the damn thing in and HTMLified it about 3 years ago.

Unfortunately, someone hacked my friend's machine (where it was located). Although my friend was planning on getting things restored or recovered, he never did. I don't think I have a copy any more.

Although... I might know where I can find a copy again. I'll have to poke a bit though.

I got a copy of the PDF. I've put it online. You can get it at:

Cool! I don't think I can put it on the Archive in that form, since Easyspace worries about huge files (they pre-suppose them to be illegal games/programs, I think).

However, if I can't get back the HTMLified version, at least I can (sob) re-key the text and do it all over again.


(edit)
Oh.. DUH. I have a friend who has OCR software. I bet I can do it faster this time.

For any who are curious, this originally came from David Counts, on Arador. He copied the chapters, and US-mailed them to several people, including Kirk Lawson. Kirk scanned the copies in, and Acrobat-ified the images. I got the copy from him, and hosted it on a friend's machine. Later, I HTML-ified the thing, which makes it a whole lot smaller, and quicker to load.

Is there a reason you can't do a "cut and paste"? Then add the html coding and your done.

Duh, I just opened the PDF.
For those who have not opened it yet, its all graphics scanned. And the file is on the big size, 7.7megs. It will take a while to D/L on 56K.

Let me know if you get access to your friend's OCR. If not, I can turn it to text thru mine and send it to the archive.
