dentro/onefile demo/intro/crack intro

what's the difference between dentro, onefile demo and intro?
i believe i know the difference between an intro and a crack intro but hundreds of crack intros are marked here as intros so i'm puzzled about it too.

Yepp, fully agree with Groepaz. The only thing that really exists is DEMO and INTRO, and the difference between those should be crystal clear already.

Further.. dentro == demo, since its purpose is not to be placed in front of a crack, tool or anything else. Let's forget the term now!

Also.. OneFileDemo == demo, of course. If someone is stupid enough to introduce the term OneFileDemo to let's say some database, there should also be other useless terms lite *mega demo*, *trackmo*, *press space demo* and other silly things. It's just almost as stupid as the ranking of "full screen graphicians" :PPP. Gosh, i love this place :).

Yeah, let's cut down the number of choices.

We can't choose between multi-file crack and one-file crack either, so why do so with demos?

So I agree with Groepaz, HCL and Hein ;-)

what about the MMC-crowds that seek onefileness so badly?
And some tape-people do, I've been told :)

But to fully agree with ya all: never heard of dentro until 2000 or so - must be no/new-school.

More choices where appropiate (i.e. differenciate gfx) less where not.

Bollocks to all of that.

Just have "crack" and "some other shite" and be done with it.

Yes, seems like everyone agrees..

To hell with Dentro and shitty names.. Those were only invented to lower the expectations, in order to appreciate the poor results! Real elite doesn't need such excuses ;)

In the very early days you just had an "intro" and a "demo". I don't see any reason why other shitty names should be use on the C64.
"Fuck de hokjes" (partly Dutch), just take it as it is and don't try to explain something by naming it different.. that's lame :)

"Intro" wasn't a term for demos in the early days. "Intro" was a term for intros (which introduced something). There was no "intro which are small demos" before Mekka/Symposium had "C64 intro competitions". And before that, "intros which are small demos" existed only on PC and Amiga. But also there they were a misconception because the first intro competition was indeed dedicated to REAL crack or bbs intros, not demos. They quickly became little demos though, just to beat others in that competition.
