I have now been able to convert the entire SftP magazine archive to a 
fully searchable set of pdf files. This was done with the software, 
Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

You can see the results at my web site 
http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~schwrtz/SftP/Contents.html 
<http://socrates.berkeley.edu/%7Eschwrtz/SftP/Contents.html> I welcome 
any comments and suggestions for improvements.

As indicated before, the most useful thing people can do is make 
arrangements with major libraries (or other online reference 
repositories) to carry this archive and make it publicly accessible.  
Let me know if you want a CD of the archive for that purpose.
