Gryzor - I noticed in some of the CWTA downloads (e.g cwa8701.rar) they contain contain corrupt/unviewable files.

I've downloaded and extracted a couple of times - and I get same issue I'm not sure what you can do about this one!

Help?

Gryzor · 07:23, 11 September 13

Hm, indeed... apologies for that. There's not much I can do, I'm afraid...

Border_7 · 00:27, 12 September 13

It only seems to afflict the 1986-1987 ones randomly - all of the 1985 & 1988 mags are fine.

It is a pain in the ass though, especially December 1986 - It has 34 corrupt pages! So that is kind of a spoiler.

But - Hope is not lost ... you still have a full CWTA collection right ? and a scanner?

I can drop you the mag #'s and page #'s requiring re-scan.

Border_7 · 03:22, 13 September 13

Anyway, here are the editions with the corrupt jpg's:

1986: March, May, July, October & December
1987: January, April, June, July, August & December.

Shame!

Fear not TFM ! - Gryzor always comes to the rescue.

I loved CWTA (a big pile of them came with my first, second-hand, amstrad cpc 464). Good listings - I especially enjoyed Frutties (and modifying it to add levels) - that appears to be in November 1985 with the nifty intercity 125 cover picture. Ah, Crackers Velus - Amstrad CPC

Johnny Olsen · 12:50, 13 September 13

Border_7 - you can buy a dvd here with scan of every issue of computing with the Amstrad.

Border_7 · 23:59, 16 September 13

I probably would have bought the DVD - but 100% of the issues are here on the forum - just a few blank pages here and there...

I loved them too (They were my first love). I never got caught up in the 'This mag is better than that one' - I got as many as I could and enjoyed them all.

Gryzor · 18:58, 17 September 13

Hmmm I may do it if you remember to nag me now and again till I've gone up and into the boxes

Probably from Friday on, or next week!

Border_7 · 00:21, 18 September 13

Cool as. At least pull these ones aside:

1986: March, May, July, October & December
1987: January, April, June, July, August & December.

Great, that you did all the work to analyze

Gryzor · 19:16, 18 September 13

Oh wow, that's a lot of scanning! Thanks for your trouble. As I said, feel free to nag if I disappear

Johnny Olsen · 21:30, 18 September 13

No need to scan. I have these pages, but where can i send or upload them?

Gryzor · 21:48, 18 September 13

Ooh that's fantastic! You've got PM

Yeah - I didn't think it was that much, but when on paper like that - its more than just a few pages here and there!

That is fantastic. That would make your day Gryzor!

Gryzor · 20:11, 23 September 13

I've got all the issues (and more) thanks to Johnny

Will start uploading tomorrow, my line is full with some backing up backlogs...

Border_7 · 08:04, 24 September 13

Fantastic - quick turn around!

Gryzor · 08:11, 24 September 13

All thanks to Johnny. Uploading as I'm typing this, they'll be online this afternoon

Border_7 · 23:52, 24 September 13

Thanks Johnny!

You too Gryzor.

Will you just re-up the complete rars (and delete the old ones?)

Gryzor · 18:14, 29 September 13

Yes I will, apologies for not having done it already

They're on the server, just need to do some housekeeping!
