[alfa] "Magnifying diagrams on the CarDisc CD manuals

["Gwynne W. Spencer" <gwynnes1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Per recommendations, I installed the pdf995 programs and looked at an 
electrical wiring diagram in my CarDisc CD for the 1991-1993 Spider.  I 
"magnified" the diagram; bad news -  the notations (I believe they are the 
wire size and color) are still completely illegible. It seems that the 
pictures were copied at very low resolution; the small print just appears 
as some "globs".

I guess it is time to start looking for an original printed manual. I sent 
an email to "books4cars and asked them if their manuals were original 
factory prints, or reprints and am waiting for an answer. I previously 
asked Centerline about their printed manuals and received the following 
response:

"The book is a reprint of the factory manual, so being a copy there
is a lack of sharpness. I did look at the wiring
Section, and most of the notations are legible. There is also a section on
alignment in the front of the book.
Centerline Products"

Note that it says "most of the notations are legible" -  not exactly 
useful. If I am working on the car, I do not want to have to guess about 
something like a wire color!
