Aren't there any source listings digitally available? Didn't anybody
scan then and run them through OCR? Sure, that wouldn't result in
compileable code, but at least, it would be somewhat searchable.

With only little luck, I'd probably get access to digital microfiche
readers/scanners at the university where my girlfriend teaches, but I
haven't got any source sets. But really, it would be great to have
them available in a somewhat searchable format...

OTOH, I'd even think of placing a project on kickstarter.com to bring
up the money for a scanner and offer to scan a card per day
afterwards. Al, would you borrow your fiches?
