Wow, thanks a lot for this!
I was just wondering if something like this existed the other day.
I didn't even realize the C64 had a Demobase.
Thanks again.

A zip archive containing all of the demos would be nice. I would like to just double click files with PRG Starter instead of this database and installer stuff. That would allow non-windows users to get the demo collection too.

Ah, didn't know what a .z7 file was...
http://www.7-zip.org/
So, a few percent better compression rate is enough to use a completely unknown archiver you have to install?
Sorry for my negativism. Thanks.

Never heard of it, but then I have learned something new. I will use it the next time someone sends me a RAR file or something.
I always use the zip functionality built into windows. I think it's nice that you can just enter a zip file like a folder.

I look forward to checking these out. I also had to make the adjustment to .z7 and .rar files. Now I have three different unpacking programs. haha. That's ok. As long as the info gets out there. Don't get me started talking about .ISOs and .CDIs and .NRGs and... and... and...
