Files on nvg without read/write privileges
Hi, I notice that the following files from /pub/sam-coupe/disks/games/ Commercial are given read/write privileges only for 'owner', with 'group' and 'others' being given only execute privileges (so, e.g. the files can't be downloaded): Craft.zip MindGames1Bombed OutNuclearWasteMagicCavesBlockade.zip Impatience-TriltexVikingGame(Cracked).zip BowinandtheCountDracula.zip PrinceofPersia.zip TNT.zip HighwayCodeQuizballQuizballQuestionEditor(Cracked).zip DyzoniumWaterWorksWopGammaBugulators(Cracked).zip As the owner is frodet and every other file I've checked has had read privileges set for 'group' and 'others', is it right to conclude that this was a deliberate move, maybe to ensure the files were backed up but not to distribute them for now, for legal reasons?
PC - SAM Picture conversion
Hi there! After giving up my old BMP2SCR I'm working currently on Retro-X, which can convert PC images to SAM Coupé Modes 1-4, and save them in MGT container. This is a unfinished work in Progress version: http://rapidshare.com/files/106078373/Retro-X_WIP6.zip.html It is very different from BMP2SCR, better and faster, but instruction is in german only, for the moment. There are different conversion modes like midtone, error diffusion and ordered dither. I hope you don't mind that there are also some other computers supported: Spectrum, QL, Amstrad CPC, MSX, C64... If you have comments, please note that I'm currently moving, so tommorow I will be for two weeks away from internet. LCD

Yeah, a safe assumption to make, that'll be what Frode is doing. Just quickly looking at the list and picking out a few titles: Craft was published by Phoenix originally, as part of their Dyadic compilation, that may still lie with David L. T'n'T is Matt Round's - he allowed it on a past issue of SAM Revival but as far as I am aware he hasn't distributed it elsewhere yet. Depending on which version of Bowen it is I may (or may not) have the copyright on audio stuff in it.

SAM PRIME issue 3 I think it was, one of the first disk mags I ever bought all those years ago when I first got a SAM!
