Best Format to distribute demos etc?
I've recently retrieved my C64 (and 300+ floppies from the loft) and have found a whole load of music, demos etc from 1988 - 1992 that I'm sure people would be interested in.
So, not that I've got my hands on a XM1541 cable and can transfer all this stuff to the PC, what are everyone's preferences for the way to distribute this stuff?
Obviously if it's a multi-part demo, then it's obvious that you just use a .d64 disk image...
But what about small stand alone files... music with players etc? Just distribute the .prg or what?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Well things are going ok so far! I've gone through about a third of my discs and transferred all the ones that read as .d64s...
Got another two hundred to go through, but I'm getting there!

Is there any chance of getting them as soon as you're ready? |

I think you're expecting too much from my collection! Still, I will make as much available as soon as possible! Promise! |

Bizzmo, I my guess is you will have a lot of whats already on the net, but also bits and pieces no one has online. Heheh.
Amazing what you can find amongst those disks, I was looking for something yesterday and stumbled across two cracks from Nukebusters and a few demos that were not on the net. Heheh. Without even trying. |

If i can get them unsorted it would also be good. Just as Jazzcat says, you never know where you stumble upon. I also would like to see any disknotes done by swappers, don't know if there are more people who want those. |

How anyone can think that gzip is hard to use is beyond me, but for those who can't figure it out, all you need to do is:
cd c:\c64\demos (or wherever)
gzip *.d64
And all your d64s will be gzipped. You can then drag & drop them on VICE just like usual.

For reasons I'm not willing to discuss here, I prefer normal zip. Yes, I know how to use gzip, I've been using it many times before, but I prefer normal zip. That okay with you? |
