Re: A89: Garbage Archiving
DoorsOS II v0.9 does this and so did DoorsOS 1.00. It wasn't until DoorsOS
Beta 2 that this "feature" was inserted. It would unarchive the program,
run it, save whatever score, and rearchive it. Same thing with the
libraries (which I think is useless because this just causes more slowdown).
Anyways, I'm glad that this "feature" was removed :)
