PDFs are partially collected from internet, partially from my own scans, and a set prepared by Andrea71, a friend of mine.
I can upload the PIX Candidates on MEGA accounts, or please tell me if there's an alternative method to share with you potential update files. No DAT files are delivered for PIX Candidates because I suppose they need to be screened by Aral & the PDF standardization scripts. My files are organized, filtered with previous TOSEC releases and ready to be processed by these scripts.
All PDF files follow the TOSEC Naming structure, and in some cases, the files are coherent with my personal
errata corrige DAT pack proposal... there are just renaming issues in few DATs, more in detail:
Errata Corrige DAT Pack (PIX-v2014-02-28)------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anno 2 --> Anno 3
...
Anno 7 --> Anno 8

IBM PC Compatibles - Magazines - PC Gamer (GB) (TOSEC-v2013-04-06)The issue 202 in the PC GAMER (GB) set is
not a UK magazine, but it is US magazine, so it should be moved to PC GAMER (US) set.
game (
name "PC Gamer - Issue 202 (2010-07)(Future Publishing)(GB)"
description "PC Gamer - Issue 202 (2010-07)(Future Publishing)(GB)"

IBM PC Compatibles - Magazines - PC Gamer (US) (TOSEC-v2013-04-06)The issue 202 from PC PC GAMER (GB) is renamed and moved to "IBM PC Compatibles - Magazines - PC Gamer (US) (TOSEC-v2013-04-06_CM)"

------
Multi-format - Magazines - Retro Gamer (TOSEC-v2013-10-01)about the issue 110. It's
not 2013-01 but instead it's the 2012 Christmas special, so all following issues shift by one:
Retro Gamer - Issue 110 (2013-01)(Imagine Publishing)(GB) becomes Retro Gamer - Issue 110 (Christmas 2012)(Imagine Publishing)(GB)
Retro Gamer - Issue 111 (2013-02)(Imagine Publishing)(GB) becomes Retro Gamer - Issue 111 (2013-01)(Imagine Publishing)(GB)
and so on until Retro Gamer - Issue 120 (2013-11)(Imagine Publishing)(GB) becomes Retro Gamer - Issue 120 (2013-10)(Imagine Publishing)(GB)
I know because actually I'm preparing the update for this set
