1984/1985 Sorry about the lack of SU

SAVE OUR SOFTWARE!
by Eldad Petreanu
There are quite a few sites on the 'net
with Spectrum software, but none of them
is good enough the others can be content
with simply mirroring it. Some come close,
but all in different ways. The definitive
Spectrum archive is still a long way from
completion.
What can we do?
* Find a site where we can store several
hundred megs of information on the net. Do
you know any millionaire who had a
spectrum when he was a kid? or is your
university extremely generous and willing
to risk potential legal problems? I
thought not. This site should probably be
outside the US, who have this thing about
software, er, reproduction.
* Agree on a format for Spectrum software.
It seems to me that the .TAP format should
be used whenever possible, since it
preserves the structure of the original
tape. The .DAT format is great for
multiloads and other unconventional
loaders, but sadly programs need to be
individually hacked. Finally, when these
are not available, a simple .Z80 or even
.SNA will have to do. Actually, it's best
to have everything in .Z80 too anyway. Do
you agree? What about +3 Software? Some
programs may require special treatment -
remember Shadow of the Unicorn, which came
with its own replacement ROM?
* Create the perfect directory structure.
Thinking only about the snaps directory of
this definitive site for a moment, it
seems reasonable to create these
subdirectories:
game
demo - of the graphics/sound variety
gamedemo - if the whole game is not
available, or a demo contains stages not
found in the complete game, the demo
should be here
business - word processor, databases...
utility - any software for creating
software
hardware - hardware-specific software (the
kind that's bundled with digitizers/light
pens/whatever)
anything else I forgot?
inside each directory, subdirectories for
the different machines can be found:
16
48
48AY - runs in 48K mode, but plays 128K
music if available
128
+3 ?
What do you think about this directory
structure? Again, this is just off the top
of my head, and your suggestions may be
much better.
* Convert software to the relevant
format(s) and start uploading! Some
software is probably lost to us already,
like several adventures with sales in the
dozens. Let's not let any more software
die!
* CD-ROM, anyone? This could be cheap,
just to cover costs; a little more
expensive, if done for profit by people
who don't mind advertizing and risking
getting sued by the software publishers;
or with the profit going to some charity -
what publisher would sue such an
operation, knowing this would make it look
like a total sleaze?
Is this plan really that far-fetched? Or
can it some day become a reality? Oh.
Well, never mind. It was just a thought.
Some good ideas there on how to organise
the Speccy scene! I agree on many of his
points, although using TAPs a standard may
alienate users of Emulators which don`t
support this format. Any more suggestions
anyone? ED.
