A: This collection is huge, as you will soon notice. It can be hard to get a grip on what you want to see and what not (and believe me, you don't want to see everything!). There are two basic ways to get started on this collection. Most people using this CD are people who used to be in the scene. Chances are, they are looking for a way to indulge into nostalgia by looking at their own releases from back then. If this is what you want to do, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the format of this CD (see "Please explain the (directory-)format of the CD"). It should be easy for you to find your products if they are included in this CD. Also have a quick look at diskcovers, votesheets etc. If you just want to look around, feel free to just load any demo within the directories. Just look around and browse. One way to do this is to use the included HTML-directory, with which you can preview all releases from within a browser. Just look around and try whatever you think is interesting.
Q: How can I find products I once released in the scene?
A: If you know what you are looking for, there are a number of ways to reach the .d64-file in question. The most simple way is to go through the directory structure, it is self-explanatory (also see "Please explain the (directory-)format of the CD"). You can also browse through the HTML-directory, which allows you to conveniently preview all files from within your browser. The last option is to look at the file called "allfiles.txt", which has all c64-files on this CD listed in it. You can perform a specific search with your text-editor.
