<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnnyC, post: 4641083, member: 101968&quot;]Indeed, the question is how to process this rather amorphous mass of data.</p><p><br /></p><p>Presumably the ultimate aim here is to undertake die link studies of various types of interest. With the data in its present form this is clearly a pretty tedious process, particularly with large issues where the images are spread over many pages.
