ADATE archive information
-------------------------

Welcome to "The Amstrad Disc and Tape Emporium" (A.D.A.T.E).

This archive can be accessed via ftp or web.

ftp://andercheran.aiind.upv.es/pub/cpc/ADATE/
http://andercheran.aiind.upv.es/ftp/pub/cpc/ADATE/

This is a archive of programs for the Amstrad CPC/CPC+ 8-bit
computer. 

See
http://andercheran.aiind.upv.es/~amstrad/
for more information.

The tape images and disc images in this archive are taken directly
from the originals.

As a result, they will have the same loading methods/protection as
the originals.

The tape images are stored as .CDT/.TZX which can be used
with the following emulators:
- Multi-Machine 
- Arnold <URL:http://arnold.emuunlim.com>
- CPCE <URL:http://cpce.emuunlim.com>
- Caprice
- Winape <URL:http://winape.emuunlim.com>

The disc images are stored as CPCEMU style disk images (.DSK) which
can be used with most emulators. Standard and Extended disk images are 
supported.

In this archive there may be different versions of the same game.
This can happen in these cases:
- the game has been re-released under a different label/publisher
- the game has been re-released and has a different loading scheme
- the game is part of a collection or pack
- the game is available on more than one format (e.g. disk and cassette)

Each file is a ZIP archive, containing the image and a "file_id.diz" 
which gives information about developer, publisher, copyright 
holder, year of release etc

Please use the "incoming" dir to upload new files.
