Full-disk demos are stored as zoo's of warps (zoo is being used here to bundle the files more than to compress them -- warps are pretty tight already): Archive newtek-1.zoo: Length CF Size Now Date Time -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 792260 0% 792260 4 Dec 89 15:42:12 NEWTEK1.WRP 872220 0% 872220 4 Dec 89 16:09:28 NEWTEK2.WRP 22728 28% 16256 26 Nov 89 21:42:32 Warp -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 1687208 0% 1680736 3 files Archive newtek-3.zoo: Length CF Size Now Date Time -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 778880 0% 778880 14 Dec 89 13:41:00 NEWTEK1.WRP 807584 0% 807584 14 Dec 89 14:11:28 NEWTEK2.WRP 15188 18% 12482 14 Dec 89 14:17:38 UnWarp -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 1601652 0% 1598946 3 files (I didn't have UnWarp when I built newtek-1.zoo...) So, both are complete two-disk demos -- everything is included. I don't know how much memory they take -- you do need two disks, though. They both run fine on my A1000 with 2.5M. > I brought DOC down so I can try it, but before I waste untold time on > trying to get it running I have the same questions here concerning > core utilization and a player device. All the eurpean cracker demos I've got so far are either self-contained disks (which are/will be warped) or normal executable files. All are standalone -- no players needed. Doc is of the normal executable type: Archive doc.zoo: Length CF Size Now Date Time -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 131060 0% 131060 21 Jun 88 19:20:24 doc 154 11% 137 16 Jan 80 04:10:18 readme -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 131214 0% 131197 2 files If you haven't done so already, you might want to try bringing up Zoo on your machine (I see STL-06SIMA runs UNIX)... ...tad
