This is awesome, thank you very much!
However next time you upload to Archive.org a ZIP containing magazine images, could you please name each file like "FILE_images.zip"? This way, Archive.org will automatically provide a viewer that we can link from ZXDB.

I've read the first one! Quite a surprising range of material, from the ultra basics to quite advanced stuff, all in one issue.
I love the Internet Archive, and bung them a few shekels every month. There are all sorts of treasures to be found, if only you can divine the right magic words to enter in the search box...
Thanks, Mort!

Hi Einar,
Have modded the titles, will try it with some others, see if the complete spectrum is available for linking to the database.

Re: I have done the Complete Spectrum in 600dpi today in lockdown
Thanks for trying, but it didn't work. Renaming the file didn't trigger the process of automatically generating PDF files from your images.
From your original link, try to click on "Manage", then "derive". Hopefully you will see the message "this item is currently being modified/updated by the task: derive" in your original link. It would mean a PDF is getting generated (which may take a few days).
If this doesn't work, then you may need to create a different page and upload everything again from scratch, with the new filename. You should be able to delete the old page when you are done.

HI sent a derive request, so will see what happens

If anyone has limited download bandwidth or download caps and wants a copy of these just send me a 8GB USB Stick with a stamped addressed padded envelope and I will copy for you.

This is wonderful. The amount of information we are gathering thanks to high quality scans like this one is priceless. Thanks Mort for this and all the work you are doing.
