Tines confusion



I'm trying to understand what is the "official" Tinies program.
I currently have four Tinies files and one Tinies patch:

1. The original Tinies

2. Shortly after a file to disable Tinies music so you can play
   "better" music. This "patch" seems to be moot since #3
   provides the same by key input.

3. A version that unpacks only to a disk. This version has the
   game, new and old levels, and Tinies construction set. Is
   this crucial or could the files be in a normal .SHK file
   and unpacked and run from a HD? If so, why the disk format?
   In addition, there are a number of improvements.

4. Old Tinies levels that are named the same as the new levels
   in #3 above and new levels that are accessed by a TAB. Is
   this version moot with #1 and/or #3?

5. Finally, the Tinies patch (My version was posted by
   sjensen):

---------------------

There is a problem in The Tinies level 87. To fix the bug:

        10 D$=CHR$(4)
        20 PRINT D$"PREFIX/THE.TINIES/TINIES.DATAS"
        30 PRINT D$"BLOAD TINIES.TAB,A$1000"
        40 POKE 22211,0
        50 PRINT D$"BSAVE TINIES.TAB,A$1000,L21456"
        60 PRINT "THANKS TO THE ATARI ST FILE... :-)"
        70 END

        Run the program under Prodos 8 with Tinies disk in drive...

 (The level 88 code is REPADETA.)
