Hi, Bob. The DVD was hand-selected (probably by me) to pack lots of files onto the DVD. Only a subset of the HTML was included, to save space. We had a lot more HTML at the time. - Greg On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 10:59:37AM -0000, Robert Gibbins wrote:
Having recently downloaded the PG 2010 DVD (thank you very much PG), I started looking at the books: - The DVD seems to contain about 34,000 zip files. - A small number of these (about 50) seem to be zipped mp3 files (*m.zip). - About 1800 files seem to be zipped html files (*h.zip).
Does this mean that PG (at that time) only had about 1800 'real' (as opposed to generated-from-the-text-file) html books, or have I misunderstood something? Presumably many more books have been added since, I think I recall an append from Greg that the number is now more like 40,000, and I get the impression that most of these will come from DP and have html versions. But even so this seems to imply that there are about 28-30,000 books as text files for which no html version exists other than the generated one.
Is this number about right? or have I missed something obvious?
