Doubt about Outlet

edited March 2009 in Infoseek database
Just out of curiosity, Martijn, I have seen the huge work you have done with all those Outlet magazines, but I was using infoseek, and saw that when you see an entry of that Outlet magazine, in the screenshot slideshow you don't see all the programs and games included in that issue. Probably there is an explanation I am missing,

Cheers!!

    Could you please give an example of this?

    For example, the last issue, there was some programs missing.
    ANd some weeks ago it happened the same viewing some issues (I can't remember now), and it was a bit surprising then.

    Hope that helps!

    I checked out Issue 148 and it seems OK. You don't get all 22 menu items just the programs. Text items like letters, adverts and editorials are not included.

    I must say that Gerard has done a brilliant job of indexing these issues.

    Incidentally I uploaded the first five issues on microdrive cartridge some weeks ago if you'd like to fill in the early issues.

    Geoff is correct - only the programs (i.e. the linked entries from each index) are considered for the slideshow, as we reckoned 1,500 screens for one magazine series should be enough. :-)
    This is how all electronic magazines were indexed to date.

    Indeed, this was the largest project (with an end) on WoS ever! And I'm really glad it's now finished. Hopefully the missing 3 issues can be recovered soon.

    They came in without problems, so I assume they will be lined up for the next TZX Vault update (but no word was received from the team yet).
