Yup. For the complete guide - yes! That's why I volunteered only for three of the topics :-) Here's what I've had in mind for these: 26. Essential Stella Demos With Source Provide only the latest version of working demos. This section should at least feature: (availability of the source is _mandatory_) Pieros X-Mas Demo Look Mom No flicker Kung-Fu Sprites Say Ship Bounce Droid Some Scroller Demos Some Invaders Demos Stuff like that... I really mean _essential_ here. 27. Finished Stella Games With Source Provide only the latest version of working games. This section should at least feature: (availability of the source is _mandatory_) Minesweeper Yatzee Qb Okie Dokie SCSISIDE Dark Mage (Oystron/Thrust/TPS if we get the source...) Stuff like that... I really mean _finished_ here. 29. Tools To Use/Know This section should at least feature: The VB Playfield designer Eckhards graphics converters The PERL graphics converters DASM DISTELLA Both color selectors Paddled Sound Utility Thomas' Clone Finder & Sound finder Stuff like that... ready to use tools, sorted by platform. I'd like to sort all of this out, if I find the time... > The list is available up to 1999 on the Stella CD. I could send you the > stuff from the CD but it would take a while even via DSL.

If it gets bigger we'd need to do an upload/download solution. Maybe parting it into one ZIP per year. In the past for doing the 'Alpha' demo, I used some download wizards to download the files from the archives month by month. But it's quite a stupid job to do... (I think a short timed FTP Read-Access to the biglist server would out of question?) What would really brillinat would be this: If someone had the complete archive gathered in a single netscape folder! Anyone? Eckhard? How big would that be zipped? > Omar Thameen <omar@xxxxxxxxxxx> The archive up to 1999 would be enough for the start. How big would that be? (This'd include a lot HTML overhead I assume? And all Files renamed into xxxxxxx.bin?) Greetings, Manuel - Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
