... well, as much as I can do for the moment.

The main problems are that of corrupt PAK archives and being unable to 
extract 'Library' LIB/LCB files due to an error in the decompression 
routine (Mat even mentions it in the README of the utilities disc that 
it is on!)

There is a LIB30b file in the /utils/ directory which may or may not fix 
this, but it's stored as an LCB file itself so I can't actually unpack 
it to see :-)

So, Stuff that is missing from NVG /pub/sam-coupe/ that I need copies of 
in preferably DSK format but SAD/TD0 will be fine:

/demos/AJ inc/AJDISC1.zip - had to remove New Order loading screen to 
remove MaxiDOS
/demos/AJ inc/AJDISC7.zip - had to remove slideshow screen to remove MaxiDOS
/demos/misc/swiss.zip - cannot unpack

/games/craft.tap - TAP format, cannot load
/games/color.zip - cannot unpack with Library, file inside is COLORIS.LCB

/graphics/slideshow/net_23.TDO - cannot read TDO file

/misc/sam/treaty.arc - cannot unpack

/music/e-tracker-modules/MAJMODS1.zip - cannot unpack
/music/e-tracker-modules/MAJMODS2.zip - cannot unpack
/music/etrackdem.zip - cannot unpack - could be Out Of Colour (which I 
have) as that was a demo for Etracker, or it could be a demo of the prog 
itself
/music/samples/qltheme.zip - cannot unpack/determine pack type

/utils/bcdsk10.bas -  text file of BASIC program
/utils/disk/old/lib30a.zip - cannot unpack with Library
/utils/disk/lib30b.zip - cannot unpack with Library

/utils/misc/commix.zip - cannot unpack with Library, but maybe the same 
as COMMIX20.TDO
/utils/misc/Prntfx.zip - cannot unpack
/utils/misc/SAM81.zip - ZX81Emulator - BASIC Broken in file
/utils/misc/TIFF.zip - cannot unpack with Library

So, if you have a disk that looks like any of these, fire up 
http://www.simonowen.com/sam/samdisk/ , dump it out and then let me know 
where I can grab it from or email me off-list and I'll arrange something 
rather than make people send me 20 copies of Craft via mail :-)

If these are lost then it would be a shame but if it can't be helped 
then so be it, I'll give it a week to see what we can find and then I 
will release the 380-odd disc images.

Personally I think they should go back to NVG to replace the PAK's (Mmm, 
nice 111Mb upload) so Frode do you want to contact me off-list about how 
we want to play this.

Also I think they should go to samcoupe.org so Gavin can you also give 
me a shout off-list for the same reason.

Best get back to the wife now - I think she's forgotton what I look like 
these past few days :-)

Dan.
