HOW TO PREPARE NEW/MISSING SCANS OF INLAYS/COVERS/TAPES FOR THIS SITE

[pavero]

Just want to make sure that my scans are the right size or quality, so I will put them here first before uploading it; (if it is okay.)








What do you think? (it should be in .jpg right?)

PS: Is this the right thread and okay to do something like this?

Thanks for your contribution.

JPG format is fine - an ideal compromise due to filesize. Only the resolution should be higher - at least 300 dpi, ideal 600 dpi.

For uploading please use this form:

Okay. I have scanned it again. What about this?

[pavero]

It's perfect now.

I have scanned the whole Greek ZX Spectrum + manual. I have it in JPG and in single PDF.
I don't know if I can adjust it to this naming scheme ou mention here and I don't know if the scan properties are what you specify.
I use an old scanner in an old laptop and HP scan program is not user friendly...
The scan result is very good (JPGs are 48MB and PDF 66MB).
I found another book in Greek (this : https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iDyfQKz1--A/ ... rum101.jpg ) and after I scan this also I will try to see If I can do something better with the file naming.
After I finish I guess I will post the file somewhere and then I hope this forum team can do something with it

Perfect, can you please tell me the name of Greek publisher? Then I would define a new re-releaser here:

It mentions only this on page 1:
Written by Neil Arldley.
Published by Dorling Kindersley Ltd
with Sinclair Research Ltd.
Also on page 79 it says english publisher information. It says it was printed on Verona Italy

No mention of Greek publisher or any translator name...

[pavero]

OK, I have defined Dorling Kindersley [GR] as Re-release #8 ...

The next (Greek) book I scanned is


101 Προγράμματα για το Spectrum (101 programs for spectrum) - (c)1984
Copyright : The Computer Shop 1984
Editor D. Pentzas

101programsForSpectrum_(firelord)v004.zip https://1fichier.com/?odcaiugbdc3u8aj9fgwo

Note: some pages were torn/missing and I skipped 30 pages because they contained old civil engineering related calculation programs.

Sorry for the notes on the book

This book and the ZX manual were the books I use to learn basic. I have another book but It did not help me much.
I believe this contains some original programs that are not just translation from other english books.

Maybe I should post it somewhere else?

Please could the ability to select the programming language be added to 'Add a new (MIA) title/entry'.

Thanks.
