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!

Bizz.

Come on, we've all used a c64 as our main computer! How can anyone here have issues with a command-line? :)

Well,I got quite a bunch of those.
Would you like to have them collected together?
I know there are some on the cracks I have uploaded already.
Unfortunately I don´t think it is possible for you to see what I have uploaded.

I never used command line on c64, only GUI.

Ofcourse it's ok, but if possible I'd like to hear your point. When I upload here I gzip it. If there is a good reason I'll change my approach. :)
My main issue with .zip is that it doesn't work in VICE without unpacking it first. If that worked, I'd probably go for zip aswell.

No, I meant Windows 84 (cbm version)

I wasn't really serious, honestly. I can type fast and know how to use commandline tools. But I avoid them where ever possible. Yeah, now you just keep on laughing about my new age attitude, you evil hackers...! ;-)

I download everything which is uploaded here and sort it out later with programs like Clearmame Pro. Saves me a hell of a lot work filtering out those double files.

But yes i would like to have the disknotes which you collected. I myself am sorting them by person/group. So if you can mail 'em it would be perfect, my mailadress is here on CSDB, as you might have guessed. ;)

@ Earthshaker,

OK,as I have a day off tomorrow I hope to fix a messages-disc for you.
Shouldn´t be much of a pain,like the UFLI editor I am trying to upgrade. ;)

Anyone else interested in old notes?
It won´t be much work to upload it here! 8)

I understood you weren't serious! :) I wasn't 100% serious either, but I do use a command line interface all day at
work.
