Re: Apple2 archive at grind.isca.uiowa.edu

[dmag@engin.umich.edu (Daniel Demaggio )]

Here at Umich, I have been putting a 4-line description at the
beginning of the .BSQ files.  Someday RSN, I will write a program to
extract these comments and make a neat-o-keen index file ala the
umich mac archives.  I could even make mini indexes for each sub-dir.

Since there are so many possibilites, let's get some feedback (for
grind, and even existing FTP sites):

Questions:
1) Which do you want?
   A) indexes for each subdirectory
   B) indexes (i.e. foobar.txt) for each file
   C) one global index

2) Do you want
   A) BSQ files only
   B) SHK files only
   C) Both SHK & BSQ in same directory
   D) Both SHK & BSQ in seperate trees

3) Should the archive have:
   A) 16 char filenames for all files
   B) longer filenames (i.e. more descriptive)


E-mail responses or post discussion.. And happy hacking..
