Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Rig, 
  I'll compensate you for this. We can discuss it offlist...
The only thing I need is a readable copy and I'll retype the whole 
thing if it's not reproduceable. If it's good enough I'll be able to 
recreate it. To make a PDF you need the full version of Adobe 
Acrobat. I use it at work mainly for technical manuals. 
  Thank you, Fran
