  I spent a large amount of time formatting listings prior to 
proofreading. This was absolutely necessary with assembly source code.
  It would help immensely if tabs could be set and used rather than 
having to enter spaces.

While the hand formatting seemed to stick for a second and third pass of 
proofreading, none of it is now present when looking at the accomplished 
tasks. Has it all been lost?

There was some trouble with the OCR rendering of ' and ". Neither the 
Coco nor my browser used for proofreading can make use of opening and 
closing '" as for example Microsoft Word does. The OCR program mixed up 
opening, closing, and straight forms of the above. Since the end result 
probably will be cut and pasted into a Coco, I converted all opening, 
closing forms into straight. It would be nice not to need to do that.
