Also of interest (especially to those that, like me, spend money buying
old classic modules) may be TSR's announcement that they will be posting
old material on the Web...

TSR Products Scheduled to be Put Online
TSR is aware that there quite a few products of interest out there that
are hard to get a hold of, whether it is due to a
collectibility issue, or the age of the product, a limited print run, or
whatever. So, TSR has decided to place some of its
older, out-of-print materials online in an electronic format for free
downloading. This allows many to experience the
products from the early days of TSR which would otherwise be unavailable,
collectors to retain the value on their original
copies, and TSR to avoid the expense of reprinting these products (most
of which were created on older typesetting
machines, and thus would be quite a chore to recreate in a format
suitable for most current printing houses).
The following material has been approved to be put online. This is by no
means a comprehensive list - more will be
added to it later. This list also does not give anyone free reign to scan
these products and upload them. These materials
will still only be available from approved TSR sites (AOL, GEnie, MPGN,
and tsrinc.com).

* = someone has volunteered to scan this
If you have one of these products and would be able to scan the text and
send it to TSR as an electronic file, it would
greatly speed up the process and be much appreciated (otherwise, we have
to wait until I find the time to scan them
myself). You will not need to proof the item, just scan and OCR it, and
I'll handle the artwork and such. If you are up to
this, please drop me an email at TSRinc@???.com
