Er, true. There were dedicated word processors and editors on big systems, but the PC wasn't ubiquitous, and personal word processing didn't occur. Should have remembered that from the pub date.
(The very first electronic text editor I worked with was about then, on a mainframe computer at a bank. I became the resident expert in the use and abuse of it...

Thanks to the pirate community, I have what actually appears to be a good PDF. I've gotten as far as putting it into a Word doc, but if you've ever done that conversion, you probably know that you don't get clean editable copy. For starters, I have to do one of those little tricks to get rid of the hard returns at the end of every line.

I have. I'm a SysAdmin by trade, and data transformation is probably half of what I wind up doing. Line ending conversions like that are the
easy part, since tools to do it are part of the standard kit.

That's fine. Expect help from the Usual Suspects when you reach that point.
