Great - does anybody know what the differences are between the third
edition and the latest reprint?

I do not have an OCR scanner. Since this book combines Greek with English,
I don't know if a straight scan would do the trick or not. Does anyone have
experience with this kind of scanning?
Basically, I'm looking for any approach that would get me a legal
machine-readable copy. If I can get such a thing, I'd also like to make it
available over the Internet.
