The 2.5MB version is fine. I also went ahead and created a github
repository with what I have so far (a couple pages cleaned up, first
page has justification and hyphenation reapplied, and the rest just has
a few global search fixes and some things I spotted running it through
spell before I gave up on that approach).

Well, just fixing up the text would be a start, maybe along with
some notation of what's underlined, subscripts, etc, so we can come
back to it.

It'd be period-appropriate to use roff, which might well be what he
originally wrote it in... or nroff might be more accessible for
modern users.
