Nonparacompactness in Para-Lindelöf Spaces
(Caryn's Dissertation as PC textfiles)
Caryn's thesis has gone through many transformations:
- The text was written in braille in 1981 on a model P2 VersaBraille (tape based).
- Caryn typed a draft copy using an IBM Selectric Tyepwriter, switching typeballs as necessary (the balls were tactually marked)
- The draft was submitted to a technical typist in the math department
- The final draft was submitted to the library
- University Microfilms scanned the library copy of the thesis.
- Years later, the library copy was scanned into a pdf file.
- In 1989, David Holladay converted the VersaBraille tape into Apple II files.
- These Apple files were hand edited so they would function as input into MathematiX Apple 2 software
- Some of the printouts from Mathematix were compared to the submitted thesis to see that the text was properly converted.
- The Apple 2 floppies were converted to PC files so they could be viewed with modern software.
