With my nifty new CD burner I can now put software on CD, not just online downloads. Which leads to a problemo...
As CD's cannot write to themselves, and all of my programs write to themselves, saving user info in fields etc., I am assuming the only way to put a program on CD is to have it write all data to an external file on the user's hard disk. So if a user is playing a game with high scores, the high score data is stored in a file on the HD, even if the program itself is on a CD. But assuming anything is always a bad idea, so I'd like to know how others are handling this, if differently. Perhaps the CD would just have an installer to install the program onto their hard drive? Hmm.... Thoughts, anyone? -- --Shareware Games for the Mac-- http://www.gypsyware.com http://www.gypsygames.com _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
