If I remember right tape Title (BBoobb MMaarrlleeyy && TThhee WWaaiilleerrss ) was in larger font and bold and so was tape "side marker" (AA::). Let's say it was like Arial 24pt bold, and song titles were like 10p

Sorry it was OS/2 4.0 Warp. I stand corrected. I worked on it's translation. Was superb against win 3.1 at the time but users choose other way...

No luck. Contains some null chars and text. I'm guessing it was some sw to draw diagrams (boxes, lines and text). Unfortunately I can't remember even if it was dos or win. Was always sure that I'll google it out, now not so s

yes. It should be casette inline. I must have printed it out, cut and glue to an empty casette. Those were the days!

Thank you. I know the contents but I'd like to open them and see the outline. They should both be somekind of images. You guessed right kaseta was probaby for a type recorder cassete inlay. Was doing some recording back then. Unfortuna

OP here. Both filetypes cht and img are "images", because I remember printing them out. Cht should be somekind of chart with boxes, lines and text. Img should be an image? It's way far back so I don't trust my memory.

I belive it uses guid (or a string that stores guid :-/) but it's fairly easy to change it to int. That's what I have in my boilerplate-kickstart template, anyway. Still I remember I was "surprised" too.

I got my C64 when I was 10. I was fascinated by music and games. Remember turbo tape? :-) Some years later when my father intruduced me to his first pc I was disapointed by lack of sound and graphics. And you couldn't even move your cu

I used Hugo before, but you guessed it right - I was hoping for something ready made. Well I guess we'll have to do it ourselves... someday.

Congratulations for work well done and a good read too! I recently ripped some VHS tapes but still have to publish them. You mentioned static sites. What do you recommend? Are there any templates, sites etc. ? Thanks again!

True. One thing I remember is that it had shortcuts which were introduced only in win95. Unfortunately its UI was not very intuitive. Not to mention one had to pay for it when win 3.1 was widely available for free at your local pirate.

This brings back memories! I was part of TVT (translation and verification team) for os/2 in 1996. Still remember how developers were supplying fresh builds to install and verify. We were a bunch of people from all over the world tryin
