Tosec Naming

[falconsfan]

This is probably a stupid question to some of you guys, but does anyone have a legend that explains what some of the "codes" are in the file names of some of these amiga .adf's? for example:

Workbench v1.0 (1985)(Commodore)
and
Workbench v1.0 (1985)(Commodore)[a] <--- what does the [a] stand for?

is it [a] = alpha? because I see some [b] too... so is [b]=beta
and is cr BTS - cr = cracked by BTS=Group?
m virus SCA????
[f] ?????
[o] ????
[h BS1] h= hacked by ????
[PI] ?????
[PD] ????

and not only that but there are tons more that I wish I knew what they stand for. ANY help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Just means it's the same version as the non [a] version but the disk contents are slightly different (although both disks do the same thing)
