And think the chars should be added in with Firmware rather than seperate..

Sorry to be picky, all the work you've done on this lesser known system has been really appreciated!   :)

It might be worth doing seperate DATs if the systems are distinct (eg if some some software only runs on newer, more sophisticated hardware)...   ;)

PacMan v1.0 (2005)(Imre Solti)(beta)[CALL $5000][requires CHAR2].htp

You might want to change more info to [req CHAR2] ?
Depends on what you think is better, right now in Atari 8bit I'm using [req OSb], I think we should both have the same way of writing "requires", feel free to tell me your opinion about this.
I don't mind to change the [more info] fields in Atari 8bit, I just copied that short form from the old maintainer.

You got a point there, I personally always tried to not extend the filenames too much, that's why I'm using "req" which should be understandable for everyone.

Good spot!! Didn't even realise that in TNC as example.

Personnally, I think 'req' best (and assumed that was what in TNC tbh!), but does anyone else have an opinion?

TKaos - just writing you a longish PM, until browser suddenly decided to close so you getting 'abrigded version' in few mins. hahaha....

nice to see you guys working, i'm waiting to see your new dats and point out the mistakes :P

about the tnc, nice finding Gruby :)
those examples are almost all from the last tnc from tosec.info and they need to change, i (or any of you if you want) needs to update the document with new codes, new rules and a bunch of new examples, since more info flags are 'free' for anything it is indeed difficult to control them but i tend to agree that the less size possible is better (maintaining the info understandable), similar more info flags for similar cases is great because you can just list those sets searching by it, please use req then :)

edit: just changed the webpage, the pdf will be updated later, if any of you have fixes to do in tnc or want to add new articles (faqs, guides, ...) just let me know...

Why ?
Commodore Amiga A1000 Datfile is exists ?
or A1200 or A500 or etc...
Or your problem is the computer name Microkey Primo and Not Commodore ?

Thanks Gruby, I've replaced the old set of HomeLab dats with these new ones in the current dats stem.  

Would you mind filling in some missing files I have for HomeLab (& MicroKey) ?  I can't locate them all on your website & I don't like releasing a dat if I don't know for 100% sure that the files are available.  I'll put some CMPro fixdat files in your directory on the ftp if that's OK with you ?  Thanks ;)

I think there's enough MicroKey dats as it is, so can't see any problem with adding system flags if they're required. 

Looking at the older set of dats, would Primo-A/Primo-B/Primo-A64/Primo-B64 be in 1 set & Pro-Primo be separated out as before ?  Or is this not necessary with the MicroKey system ?
