Memotech Software Archive
Posted: 22 Oct 2012 09:51
Hi folks,
I made a throw away comment on the Facebook page about the "archive" of MTX software. At this point, the "archive" is virtual and well distributed. Andy has most of the binary files packaged with MEMU, Claus has many of the files in sound format and there are a number elsewhere. That got me thinking that it is probably worthwhile creating a more structured way of maintaining our inventory of software.
So, I'm looking for input on whether this is worth doing and the best way of achieving it. I was thinking of creating two packages of files, one containing all of the binaries, (.mtx, .com, etc.) and one containing all of the sound files (.wav, .mp3).
Then how to make them available? Add zip archives and the individual files to my software web page as downloads, and/or make them available by ftp?
Let me know what you think, whether this is worth doing, or whether you have any other suggestions
regards
Dave
