My thoughts on the VMS

[ReneZ]

The biggest problem I encountered when transcribing was to decide which spaces are real word spaces and which are not, e.g. they are just unintentional slightly wider gaps between characters.

I quickly searched for an example and came up with the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.  .

First word last line, where are the spaces? Same for the word above that.

The line starting tiiin has ol in the middle, or should that be o l ?

The people making the old transcriptions may well have decided such questions on the basis of whether they recognised a known word...
