Thanks, Ken, I was about to jump in and say the same thing.
Perhaps I should secure those directories. Those PDFs and TIFFs are
there only to help with the work on cleaning it up for Web distribution
here:
http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/project/funk-grammar/pre-alpha/
They are still subject to the Scholar's Press copyrights that occur on
the title pages.
