Indecipherable names for release builds.

Open steviator opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Just tried to download a release build but have no idea which file to download because there is no explanation which file is for which plaform. I guess I'll just download them all and unzip them all until I find one or more that works and assume that must be the correct package for my platform.

  1. Instead of "Releases", try here: https://wmcbrine.com/MultiMail/#downloads
  2. I'm not sure how the names could be much clearer, really (bearing in mind they're meant to fit in 8.3 format, for ancient BBSes). "DOS", "Win", "OS2", "Mac"... the only really odd one is "XT", which refers to the old PC/XT, i.e., the canonical 8088-based machine, because that version will run on it. "W64" is perhaps not immediately obvious, but it's 64-bit Windows (x86-64... I've also built it for 64-bit ARM Windows, but I'm not posting that yet).

Also, the builds are described in the files mm???.txt and file_id.diz, within each zip (again, intended for BBSes).
