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 ?

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

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

A TAR would make the ZIP smaller :-)
