|
| | | I have great news! By special arrangement, LEGO has made PDF versions of building instructions available through Brickshelf.com. Initially, this includes all pdf instructions through 2000, and we hope to receive newer instructions at appropriate (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jul-03, to lugnet.announce.brickshelf) !!

| | | | | | (...) Actually, we plan on exporting every page of the pdfs to jpegs, similar to the scans for online viewing. We are still working out the bugs in that process, but I diddn't want that to delay getting the pdf's themselves online. KL (21 years ago, 17-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish)

I would guess it's pretty much the original file from which TLC itself prints its own manuals -- I compared it to the available scans on Brickshelf and it looks the same. Such files would be an AMAZING (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) I just fixed several bugs related to this feature. The fix for this specific problem is somewhat ungraceful, it now shows the first 48 files and the first 48 folders, then the next 48 of each and so on. At least there won't be any missing (...)
