Release id #102925 : Legion's Intro

<sigh>

Stop using .prg files, I'm getting tired of this, I keep on removing them, instead of somebody just doing it right from the start ;(

"50 responses so far, we still need more :)"
what about "you can make survey all you want" was unclear anyway? =P

@groepaz: Try it. "You can only answer once from this IP address."

@wackee: you need another option "any of these formats are fine"

Ie. "I do not care!", like me.
I do not collect files...
And with onefilers I just drag&drop them, so with prg it is quicker.

what? the point was: whatever comes out of this survey, it doesnt matter. if perff wants to make a survey on how to run the site, then he will do one, here, right on the site. until then the rules are there, and they exist for a reason. its all about preservation too.

PRG can be dragged into VICE.. i find that really easy to check something quickly, so i'm not bothered when PRG's are being used. But for preserving-matters D64 is ofcourse the best way to do it, so i say D64 too :)

D64's can also be dragged into Vice.
The point is all about preservation: with PRG's you can't preserve the original, intended filename (PETSCII included).
In D64's you can.

But it loads "*",8,1 which is ok in 80% cases, but could also load junk.

Whatever.

The main and most important message in my post was the preservation bit.
What always seems to be forgotten is that preservation is the core purpose of this CSDb.

Endless bitching about <insert your favorite topic here> seems to overshadow that purpose every once in a while.

indeed. that btw means that is 100% irrelevant how convinient it is to doubleclick on a file.

Actually just coming up with "easier to handle for the real machine" and "better to start with VICE" as justification for PRG makes me *fp* (and I only have like 10 or so different VICE startup commands with varying configs)

Whenever you upload your own material nobody will complain about .prg being your choice, but loosing any character or formatting from the originally chosen filename(s) of a third party production is definately critical. No need to argue about that at all as ppl pointed out very well already.

PS: and we also want to be able to rant on possible spelling mistakes the original namecreator probably did. :)
