If you can obtain permission for replication, I can supply the printing.
All of our manuals are run on a Zerox Docutec, and i see no reason why we
could not run a few dozen manuals if there are enough people that want them.

I had a translator trnaslate the frist couple of chapters of the current
"Tauchmedizin" for my own use.
If you can obtain permission for a translation and printing, I think I could
get the rest of it trnaslated as well.
