1. Before I upload this

I've scanned the complete book "Sprites 2068" by C. Vernon Tidwell and
Ron R. Ruegg, 1986, previously published by Zebra Systems. But before
I upload it, I have two questions:
1-Does anyone have the demo tape that came with this book? If we had a
.tzx, the preservation would then be complete for this title.
2-I'm not sure if I have the entire book. The book appears ends on
page 34, and then the back cover, but the table of contents shows the
following:
"Parting Words 32-34
APPENDIX
Contents "SPRITES 2068"
Demonstration Tape 35A-47A"
Does this mean it's referring to the tape itself, or am I missing 12
peages? :|
Next: Sync magazines, all scanned at 300dpi.

Man, a scanning MACHINE-- that's what you are going to become. That's a
RARE book. I look forward to checking it out. Is it all BASIC, a mix of BASIC
and ML or just ML? I guess that I'll find out soon enough!

Since most of those are not color, make sure to scan the magazines in grayscale.
Also, experiment a bit when scanning the first few pages. Making small adjustments
to the scans can make HUGE differences to the final result.

Hi Jack. Do you think you could do a tzx of that tape, or maybe send a
wav to Fred? Also, if you have the book, could you please confirm that
page 34 is the last page? Thanks!

That's ok. If you have a chance and want to mail the tape to me, I'll
gladly cover the shipping costs both ways.
