M.I.A. Files
------------


Several folks have asked about the files that inevitably disappear from one
SNIPPETS release to the next. Some have gone so far as to suggest I include
a brief rationale within SNIPPETS.NDX why each deleted entry (marked with a
'-' in the first column) was dropped. This would be impractical since
SNIPPETS.NDX is more than a simple index - it also acts as the control file
for SNIPDIFF. As such it is maintained by a separate program and its entries
read in order when producing SNIPDIFF. More importantly, its file
verification tag is computed during the automatic maintenance cycle.

In other words, it's more work than I want to tackle right now, OK?

This file is therefore a separate list of all the files deleted from SNIPPETS
since the last release along with the reason they were removed:

Pdn.Lst : New list not received in time, also questionably useful
Rg_Qsort.C1 : Renamed Rg_Qsort.C
Rg_Qsort.C2 : Renamed Rgiqsort.C
Vio.H : Redundant with Scrnmacs.H, also large model only code
Vio.Asm : Redundant with Vidport.C, also large model only code

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
