Hi everyone.

I tried to find downloads of 2004 Scan of high-resolution images of Voynich Manuscript, and found that the website of Beinecke Library now provides only 2014 Scan.

As mentioned You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., Jason Davies provides downloads of high-resolution images of 2004 Scan on their website, but they are in SID format. I tried to search on Google about how to open the format, and Google pointed me to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., which provides a 16-bit application that could run only on 16-bit/32-bit Windows, up to Windows XP. Since I’m running 64-bit version of Windows 10, it doesn’t work.

So, finally, I had to write a small Python script to download tiles from Jason Davies’ website and another small Python script to merge them into whole images. To avoid possible loss, my script saves merged results in PNG format, so they are very, very large (about 9 GiB in total).

I’d like to share the downloaded-and-merged images of 2004 Scan, but I wonder how?

Is there anyone who could help me sharing the files by providing some online space?
If it is impossible, converting them to high-quality JPEG files is also possible. It’s probably better to have JPEG files than SID files or nothing.
Or, is there any suggestion on opening SID files?
