do you accept the Finnish translation as an addition to your
product, _Jet Set Willy in Paris_?
If you do accept this, should the entry for _Jet Set Willy in Paris_
still be labelled as v.4 (perhaps "(v.4 plus Finnish translation)"),
or is the addition of the Finnish translation enough to call it v.5?

files in JPEG or GIF format. This could easily make it too large to
host either here (the Files section has a total limit of 20MB) or on
my website (Geocities imposes a total storage-limit of 15MB).
Seeing as I just mentioned the Files section, 20MB should be more
than enough for a lifetime of Spectrum MM/JSW games. It's the PC
remakes that are claiming the lion's share of the 88% that we've
currently used up.
As the Owner of this Group, my plan is to wait until there's no more
space to upload any more Spectrum games, and then banish all non-
Spectrum games from this Group (with due notice, of course - I
wouldn't delete the files suddenly with no warning). I may create
another Yahoo! Group for non-Spectrum MM/JSW games, in the case that
this change of policy would leave any games unhosted.
Or then again, I may decide to restrict the Files section to beta-
versions, deleting gamma-released games once they're hosted
elsewhere. Yes, I think this will be my first step once the Files
section is too full to admit one more Spectrum game.
Some Group Owners just create Group X2, X3, &c. when they run out of
space for Files or Photos, but I would prefer a more conceptual
solution (one which would retain the current author-oriented tree-
structure) if, at some stage, I have to make a new Group.
