But there was a deadline to finish the first beta of the cleaned-up text, so there was no time to have this done at DP.
this text would fly through d.p. in a matter of hours...
and found over 200 differences
but my comparison shows that most of those are minor, to the point of total insignificance to the average reader. when the focus is narrowed to meaningful differences, the number is less than 20. it is good to correct them -- and the less-significant ones too -- very good, but this is hardly a good example of an error-ridden e-text.
Unfortunately, since the 120-dpi scans are antialiased greyscale (while the 600 dpi are bitonal), the size difference is surprisingly not that different. I updated the My Antonio index page to include downloading all the 120-dpi scans in a ZIP file, which is still over 30 megs in size:
the .pngs on the website would seem to be much smaller. roughly 400 of those, at about 20k each, would be 8 megs. is my arithmetic wrong? or am i missing something? -bowerbird
