Just missname your ZIP as ARC :-)

nonDOSsers. Better only "config" , best would be nothing (no PIF-PAF, no REG, no DOG-BOX, no config, ....).

Is it plain text ?

And now Grpogjsdfkljgsdflkjgfdslkgjdlskfg bought it from them for ??? $$$ :clap:

Yeah, again :-(

Kick it out :hungry:

Vote for keeping. Screenshots are good, PNG format is good. But:

- Name them so they don't kill each other when extracting the archive

- Use PNGOUT, OPTIPNG, DEFLOPT :-)

> 3) All the TPU's - why?

Kick them, if one can brew them from the source anyway ;-)

Bad idea :-(

Use TAR before ZIP'ping :-) or 7-ZIP instead of ZIP :-)

> I would also recommend sticking the source into a ZIP within the main ZIP.

A TAR would make the ZIP smaller :-)
