Yes, every new update to the demo system would mean including a new DLL as well as keeping all of the previous DLL versions in existence. It is a small price to pay to keep all of the Demoversion(insertversionshere).dll on the hard drive. Hard drives are getting half as expensive every 2 years. I would gladly have even 500mb of demoversion(1-84).dll if I knew that demos would last forever. I should have made my previous email clear about keeping all previous DLL. Sorry.
