"Unfortunately I can't host tzx files of files that have been split

and the current tzx files contain everything exactly as they are on
the tapes themselves..

Martijn at WOS might though..."

Martijn has asked me to upload the split TZX files again, but he
has also explained that normally if multiple titles appear on
1 tape, that tape gets listed as compilation. An entry is added to
the database for each individual title in the compilation, and
everything is linked together.

Hmm... now I almost wish that I had released the Party Willy box-set
as one big TAP-file with a BASIC menu at the start! It's not an
elegant solution for the emulator-age, but at least it would have
kept the number of entries on WOS and TZX Vault down.

Well, maybe it's not such a bad thing that some of the Party Willy
components got individual entries, but it could certainly influence
whether I concatenate the TAP-files I'm planning for my next
project... 8-)
