+<p class="mt-3">Welcome to <i><b>DECPDF</b></i>, the searchable and organised repository of
+Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) documentation, gathering together documents
+and manuals from around the internet and from users' personal archives.</p>
+
+<p>We have strived to arrange the content of this site in a logical order
+so that it finally becomes easy to locate the documentation for your device
+or system that you need - be it a PDP-11 computer, or an obscure feature
+of VMS. It should all be there at your fingertips.</p>
+
+<p>Do you have a document that we don't? Are we missing some vital information
+that you could provide us with? Then register for an account and request
+upload permissions, and you can help us to build the ultimate repository
+of DEC documentation.</p>
+
+<h3>FAQ</h3>
+
+<h5>Why do some documents have &quot;Original&quot; and &quot;OCR&quot; versions?</h5>
+<p>When a new document is uploaded it is tested to see if it has had OCR run on it
+already. If it has, we use that OCR data for our indexing. If it hasn't, we automatically
+run OCR on the document. This creates a new version of the document, the OCR version.
+We keep the original alongside the new OCR version and give you the choice of which
+version to download.</p>
+
+<h5>I have a different copy of a document you already have. Can I upload it?</h5>
+<p>Absolutely. Document revisions with the same main document ID code will be grouped together
+within the document on the website. We actively seek out other versions of documents, or
+even other scans of existing revisions of documents, to try and make the archive as complete
+as possible.</p>
+
+<h5>What's the Order Number and Revision when I upload?</h5>
+<p>The order number is DEC's internal document reference ID. It is typically of the format
+XX-YYYYY-ZZ-RRR, for example EK-3K370-TR-001. The first three sections are the document
+ID and the last section is the document revision. When you upload please split the document
+ID from the revision and enter them into the two separate boxes. That way the different
+revisions of the same document are properly grouped together. Note that not all documents
+(especially field maintenance print sets) use this format of document IDs, and not all documents
+even have an ID. In this case, just enter what you can in the document ID and leave the
+revision either empty or set to 000 (which indicates it's the original unrevised version).
+If there is no document ID then leave the Order Number blank. A new document ID will be
+generated as a placeholder for internal use.</p>
+
+<h5>Will you ever host binary files like disk images and software?</h5>
+<p>No. That opens up a whole other kettle of worms, alongside a can of fish as well.</p>
