What I'm saying is that this document COULD have been prepared with an IBM Executive of the day. NO, IT CAN'T. AND HERE'S THE PROOF.
Fire up MS Word and try this excercize. Type a line "A aaaaaaaaaa" (leave off the quotes - ten a's - the first "A" is merely because MS word caps the first character, this will trick it)
Then type "A bbbbbbbbbb". 10 b's Note that the line is a different length.
Do "A ffffffffff". A third length.
Do "A iiiiiiiiii". A FOURTH length.
Do "A mmmmmmmmmm". A FIFTH length.
The point is that the IBM Executive proportional font had three different space widths. This proves that MS Word Times New Roman has AT LEAST FIVE character widths.
This will have to be confirmed with a genuine specification for MS Times New Roman. Anyone here can help me?
Perhaps it's possible you could use combinations of the three different widths in order to do the five. But it's worth the research.
"What I'm saying is that this document COULD have been prepared with an IBM Executive of the day. "
NO, IT CAN'T. AND HERE'S THE PROOF.
Sheesh! I'm not saying it's not a forgery. But if you argue based on things that can be refuted, you're going to lose in the end.
I could have created this document. No, it would not be identical with the word document. That's my point! I could do the superscript. I could even do the curly quotes, because they were also available as extra type bars for that machine. You see, people used it as a cheap typesetter, and IBM was happy to supply the things people needed to do that. You could buy tons of special characters, and just swap them into the typewriter when you needed them.
The point is that I could not have done a document that could be overlaid by the Word document. That would be impossible. What I could do is all the things people keep saying you couldn't do.
The only argument needed is the overlay. That would have been impossible.
I'm on your side, here. Use the right evidence, not the wrong evidence.
