Archive-name: v18inf10
Starting with this volume, I am making a change to the Archive-name header
used in comp.sources.games. The part number and patch number will now start
with a lowercase 'p' - e.g. nethack6/part01 or nethack31/patch27aa.
This change will bring comp.sources.games into alignment with the
recommended usage of the Archive-name header and perhaps help reduce
confusion, as most archive sites (except for mine) convert the old
Partnn and Patchnn to lowercase when doing their automatic archiving.
I hope this doesn't cause too much confusion or break any existing
archiving programs.
