Ok, maybe you are right, but i have different opinion, because
we should try to use general [b] descriptors, in this case "[b checksum error].
Let me try to explain.
In your example, you would prefer to use "[b Lamer]", by the way, we would create a new [b] descriptor, its not used in current Amiga games dat until now.
Also you could use "[b corrupt file]" or "[corrupt gfx]" and this causes
thousands of different descriptors for one and the same main error.
If we have a general solution, then the user knows, if he use a disk with
[b] flag, then its possible that he get problems with this disk.
...remember, its my own opinion.
