just one of my ideas

in the big dz with the demos how about putting a copy of the updates news? in a TXT or something? that way busy ppl could in one click get demos/news to read when they can

I'd go with that idea (although you can easily copy-paste the update to a textfile by your own, and the .dz has to be there in advance).

Yes, this could be tricky for me to do due to the way I usually write the updates.

08:30 Create big.dz, upload demos and big.dz.

08:45 Mail big.dz, news and history to work

08:50 Go to work

09:30 Mail Stubby moaning that I'm really busy and can he update history.txt and upload it. ;-)

10:00 - 14:00ish Write the update.

15:00-18:00ish Mail it to Stubby and ask him to upload it because I'm working late again.

20:00 Arrive home.

So you see, big.dz is uploaded several hours before the update is written and posted. And the update is usually posted several hours before I get home. I suppose I could produce another big.dz when I got home and re-upload, but I'd probably forget.

We shall have to see...
