I agree. The most frustrating thing for me with TOSEC'ing my collection is that too often there will be that one disk (usually disk 1) of a multidisk game that will be unrecognized. It could just as easily be that the version used to create the crc in the TOSEC database has a saved game or two, as well. I still contend that all of the [a] files be written to the same filename unless it is known to truly be an alternate (via a different crack, trainer, fix, etc.) It would require loooking at these disks in Directory Opus or something, but this would certainly be better than a bottomless pit of [a25] files that clock in at a meg every time.
Oh, and Burseg - can you post those 2000+ files to the ADF Zone?
