[Peter Löwe]

Hello Grass community,

FYI: a high resolution digital scan (600dpi 48bit) of the framed frontpage of the GRASS GIS manual from 1987, which was then signed by the actor William Shatner, is now preserved in the Zenodo open access repository:
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14840345

Backstory: The GRASS GIS manual was signed by William Shatner (of "Captain Kirk"  Star Trek - the original series fame) while the GRASS GIS 1987 advertisement video was produced.
