Title: Found a copy of a lost module
Post by: Reziac on January 13, 2022, 03:44:08

Way back in the dawn of modarchive, a file named alien.xm ("Run for your Life" by Trackz, 1997) was overwritten by a later upload with the same filename, and was thereby lost.

Well, I finally found my archived copy, and I'd like to upload it, but I want to ensure that it doesn't get clobbered again. Suggestions on how I should rename it? Not sure what the internal naming conventions are here.

One of my favorites, so I was sad when it disappeared!

i'd suggest 'trackz_-_run_for_your_life.xm'.

btw do you have cag - free (systems) (free.xm)? it was also overwritten by another module with same filename

Do you have any indication when that was supposed to have happened?

search the filename (free.xm) and youll see that the module name is different.
