No, this is not true, tow11.zip (containing tow.gam, readme.txt, and tow.
doc) are still in the competition directory and have been there all the time.
(Excepting the time between the disk failure and restoration of the data, of
course, but all the other entries were missing during that time, too.)
When you sent tow11.gam (just the game file), I added it to the competition
directory and explained in the Index file that tow11.gam arrived late and
that tow.zip was the official competition entry; when a second revised entry
appeared (mst3k1.zip), I created the too-late directory and moved tow11.gam
and the new mst3k1.zip there, again updating the Index files to explain
which was which and what to do with them. But let me repeat: the original
entries in the competition directory were not touched.

Graciously accepted. :-)
