As there is no email address or form present on the digitalskills.co.uk website I though I would try here and see if you guys have any suggestions.

I was downloading and printing all the supplements for the two Hands On DBPro Programming books, found at www.digitalskills.co.uk, but upon printing all the chapter I found that there is nothing to download which includes pages 70 till 75.
It stops at 69 after the sliders chapter and continues with the Ludo game at 76.

Does anyone know what used to be on the missing pages and why it isn't available (anymore?) ?

Getting really curious now about what's missing.

Cheers!

Your right, the books are around £30 each, (See link below).

I dont know if there are full eBook Versions out there, but if so, then they would be cheaper.

No that's not what I meant.

I have both books.
I am talking about the 'Downloads' section on the DarkBASIC page of digitalskills.co.uk.

You can download PDF files of additional content written after the books were published.
It is in those files that the page count jumps suddenly.
