docs(dtj): archive the full DTJ Vol. 3 No. 4 (Fall 1991) issue

The tree only had two excerpts of this issue, not the issue: a text-only
reflow of article 2 (X Window Terminals) and a 17-page scan of article 1
(Hardware Accelerators for Bitonal Image Processing). Add the complete
83-page issue from vmssoftware.com, plus a pdftotext rendering and a note
recording provenance, contents and how the two excerpts relate to it.

# Digital Technical Journal, Vol. 3 No. 4 (Fall 1991) — the full issue

ISSN 0898-901X). `DTJ-1991-v03-04_full-issue.txt` is its

## Contents
| pages | item |
|---|---|
| 1–6 | Foreword (Larry Cabrinety) and author biographies |
| 7–8 | Editor's Introduction (Jane C. Blake) |
| 9–25 | *Hardware Accelerators for Bitonal Image Processing* — Christopher J. Payson, Christopher J. Cianciolo, Robert N. Crouse, Catherine F. Winsor |
| 26–35 | *X Window Terminals* — Björn Engberg, Thomas Porcher |
| 36–42 | *ACCESS.bus, an Open Desktop Bus* — Peter A. Sichel |

The two articles with direct VT1200 content are the first two: the bitonal
accelerator paper is the DECimage 1200 / S/XIE material, and *X Window
Terminals* is the VT1000 / VT1200 / VT1300 / VXT 2000 design paper (it is the
source the Lance / font-daemon analysis quotes as
`docs/DTJ-1991-vol3num4_X-Window-Terminals.txt`).
## Two excerpt copies already in the tree
Neither is a duplicate of this file; both are subsets and both are different
scans:
| file | what it holds |
|---|---|
| `DTJ-1991-vol3num4_X-Window-Terminals.pdf` / `.txt` | article 2 only, *X Window Terminals* (pp. 26–35) — a 20-page text-only reflow, no figures, 28 KB |
| `../xie/docs/dec/DTJ-1991-v03-04-bitonal-image-accelerators.pdf` | article 1 only, *Hardware Accelerators for Bitonal Image Processing* (journal pp. 9–25) — a 17-page Paper Capture excerpt, 1.6 MB, 590 × 802 pt |
`../xie/docs/dec/README.md` describes the second of those as "the DTJ issue from
the mirror at `mrynet.com`". That wording overstates what was kept — it is one
article, not the issue. The file belongs to another worker's in-flight tree, so
the correction is left to its owner; this note is the authoritative record
until then.
