I can rename things, it will require more work and will take a long time. I just sent an email about that. I'll add that we have a few programs that follow a slightly different number scheme. For example, Edlin 2.11 is version "TWO dot ELEVEN", not "TWO dot ONE ONE" .. so Edlin 2.11 should be sorted between "2.10" and "2.12" - but not between "2.1" and "2.2". The web server sorts files according to standard dictionary or alphanumeric rules. That means "2.11" will appear after "2.1" and before "2.2" which is not what we want. Using a standard naming syntax and listing all the Edlin releases in a single directory would give something like this: edlin-1.1s.zip edlin-1.1.zip edlin-1.2.zip edlin-1.3.zip edlin-1.4.zip edlin-2.0a.zip edlin-2.0b.zip edlin-2.0c.zip edlin-2.0.zip edlin-2.10a.zip edlin-2.10b.zip edlin-2.10c.zip edlin-2.10.zip edlin-2.11.zip edlin-2.11.zip.txt edlin-2.12a.zip edlin-2.12.zip edlin-2.13.zip edlin-2.14.zip edlin-2.15.zip edlin-2.16.zip edlin-2.17.zip edlin-2.18exe.zip edlin-2.18.zip edlin-219exe.zip edlin-2.19.zip edlin-2.1.zip edlin-2.2a.zip edlin-2.2.zip edlin-2.3.zip edlin-2.4.zip edlin-2.5.zip edlin-2.6.zip edlin-2.7a.zip edlin-2.7.zip edlin-2.8.zip edlin-2.9a.zip edlin-2.9.zip *Most of the Edlin releases use "edlin-X.YY.zip" names, except 1.x which were called "Edline" (because I had a typo in the Spec - my fault - and Gregory renamed to "Edlin" in the 2.0 release.) In comparison, I had re-organized the Edlin directory so releases were sorted in a way that users can quickly determine which is the most recent: 1.x: edline-1.1s.zip edline-1.2.zip edline-1.4.zip edline-1.1.zip edline-1.3.zip 2.0x: edlin-2.0a.zip edlin-2.1.zip edlin-2.4.zip edlin-2.7.zip edlin-2.0b.zip edlin-2.2a.zip edlin-2.5.zip edlin-2.8.zip edlin-2.0c.zip edlin-2.2.zip edlin-2.6.zip edlin-2.9a.zip edlin-2.0.zip edlin-2.3.zip edlin-2.7a.zip edlin-2.9.zip 2.10: edlin-2.10a.zip edlin-2.10b.zip edlin-2.10c.zip edlin-2.10.zip 2.11: edlin-2.11.zip edlin-2.11.zip.txt 2.12: edlin-2.12a.zip edlin-2.12.zip 2.13: edlin-2.13.zip 2.14: edlin-2.14.zip 2.15: edlin-2.15.zip 2.16: edlin-2.16.zip 2.17: edlin-2.17.zip 2.18: edlin-2.18.zip edln218x.zip 2.19: edlin-219exe.zip edlin-2.19.zip _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
