Competnftp Notes

 game ,  style , and  file_path  all follow the COMPET-N naming conventions (please double-check if you're not sure). As of September 2007, the  text  usually just repeats the name of the zip file, as in tables like this.

For example, typing


 *  

is the same as typing


 *  p1m32411.zip 

and produces



which when clicked would download Steffen Udluft's original pacifist demo of E1M3, which is of historical interest but perhaps a bit too long for the novice demo viewer.

The text argument can be omitted, in which case the link is simply auto-numbered along with other such links.
