The HTML links for the King Richard Appendix are a mess...
1. The Deck 3, 4 and 5 links show the correct thumbnails but ALL open Deck 2
2. The Deck 6, 7 and 8 links show the correct thumbnails but all open Deck 4
3. The Deck 9 and 10 links show the correct thumbnails but 11 does not show at all and the links all open Deck 6.
(there are others)

The HTML links for the Fenris are missing decks 1 and 7 and the organization is a mess though it seems ok visually.
The HTML links for the Vlezhdatl, deck 4 thumbnail opens the deck 5 deck plans, and the deck 6 thumbnail opens the deck 7 deck plans.

Please post issues in this thread, and I'll update this post as we go.

I'm not understanding the "cut off" postings. I see the pages. Can you explain (maybe it's because I'm looking at this at 2:24 am) what the problem is with the pages?

Mine are fine (and I've had the CD for a while - 4/23/2009 is the 'modified' date on the files you mentioned).
I think it might be a specific problem with your CD.

 

[PVernon]

What I mean by "cut off" is that the page was not centered on the scaner so some portion of the page was not scaned so I am missing any thing from a line or two to half the page. I will look at the disk tonight for dates etc.

Hi, A long time in responding, My CD has dates of 2/28/2010. Dom do you know if there is a problem with the cd?

 

[PVernon]

Problem Solved and explained !

OK, I have figured out what the problem is!!!!!!!!!!
My laptop came with a PDF reader, "PDF Complete", that is not an Adobe product. When viewed with this program many pages in the CD appeared to be mis-scanned. Using "Adobe Reader" v9, most of these problem go away.

So the only new problem not mentioned in Don's first post is, in the "Harrensa Project" Page 9 is cut off like p15 in the "Drenslaar Quest".
