I noticed that there are one category for dentro and one for onefiledemo... so what is the difference?

100% agreed. demos are no intros, but demos can have intros :)

"Demo (includes subtitles Demo, 64k-demo, 4k-demo, one-file-demo etc..): stand-alone program, often interesting and nice to watch."
still i argue that the "trackmo" term makes sense because these demos indeed ARE a category of its own... i also would like a term similar to "64k demo" or "one file demo" but there's no such easy term for it. any suggestions? |

argh! no i want an easy way to tell someone that a demo is a trackmo without using the term "trackmo"... see, people complain that demos are not called demos... and they complain that "trackmo" or "track demo" doesn't actually describe a trackmo. |

Agree with Graham, who in turn agreed with rOuGh, who actually only quoted my own comments.. So in the end; i agree with myself ;).
But yes, there is probably a need to distinguish between 'mega demos' and 'trackmo' and without using the stopid word 'trackmo'. However 'trackmo' sort of referrs to the standard demos of today, it's not very common to do old-styled press-space demos anymore.
Hmm.. i have no good word. |

Why bother coming up with a new word? I guess everybody in the demoscene knows the difference between a megademo and a trackmo, even though the last name may not be accurate.
There are many examples of things in real life which are wrongly-named but still accepted by the masses. |

how about "flowmo" instead of trackmo?...
"spacemo" instead of megademo?...
and to specify size constraints if necessary i can suggest
4K spacemo
64K flowmo
etc...
heh he... i don't know. but this is fun...:) |

Well, in fact I do judge a lot, and I am half Surinamese so if you really, really want, you could say that the name TDJ is accurate.
But "Writer And Master" ofcourse says it all. I think I'll change my name back then, after 16 years :P
