- Archive-name: v18inf10
-
- Starting with this volume, I am making a change to the Archive-name header
- used in comp.sources.games. The part number and patch number will now start
- with a lowercase 'p' - e.g. nethack6/part01 or nethack31/patch27aa.
-
- This change will bring comp.sources.games into alignment with the
- recommended usage of the Archive-name header and perhaps help reduce
- confusion, as most archive sites (except for mine) convert the old
- Partnn and Patchnn to lowercase when doing their automatic archiving.
-
- I hope this doesn't cause too much confusion or break any existing
- archiving programs.
