file? e.g. 20041125_emm386.zip
Thank you very much.

Actually, that would help me keep a correct mirror on ftp.ibiblio.org. Currently, I'm mirroring the exact file (down to the filename) on ibiblio. As a new version of EMM386 is released, I rename the old zip file to have a date code in the filename, so people can recognize the previous releases. But emm386.zip is always the current (most-recently released) version, since it's a dupe of what's on Micheal's site.

A check of twenty different semi-randomly selected FreeDOS filesets shows no one in the sample using date-based ZIP files. Possibly because it involves long filenames that pure DOS will mangle.


What many -- but not all -- do is use a incremental version-based naming system so I'll see about doing that as carbon-based memory permits.
