Sorry, but I would really prefer it to stay without
menu at startup. (you cannot reload ingame, all files would
have the same name, it would get messy and what is the
sense, I want to play one dungeon.dat.
If I want to switch to a custom dungeon or want to play the
original csb once more , I copy and paste dungeon.dat and or
graphics.dat files from their respective folders(backup) into my
Play-testFolder where I overwrite (paste)
(because I got backups of everything I need) I know, this is redundancy.
Testing, (for me that requires often quick reloads) would be
horrible. I really would hate to have to click through menus
(double click maybe even) to load the one dungeon I want to
use and having to choose from one possibility.
Please tell me what would be the point in having a menu? )

edit: this is basically all what des posted earlier,
which I did not realise until now
I checked some download links and came up with the following:
http://www.dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/
look at the date, and this file is up to date:
CSBwin-CSBuild.zip ... 2006-07-05 (y-m-d).
contains .exe version 9.955 and dm graphic.dat , but the
dungeon.dat is kind of a demonstration for a party movement restriction filter or sth. but not a dm original dungeon.dat/
So, only need dungeon.dat and maybe another graphics.dat
(if you prefer to play csb with csb graphics.dat)
this is possibly something the downloader isn't fully aware of
Basically you find that in the /games folder
there you should look
http://www.dianneandpaul.net/CSBwin/Games/
dm original:
.exe version 9.6 plus 14 (dungeon master graphics.dat)
csb original:
.exe version 9.6 plus 14 (csb graphics.dat)
I wonder if version 9.6 plus 14 has the poison shooter bug , like
the version I downloaded ? If so, it should maybe replaced with
a better newer version.
Does not matter , we now replace .exe files and you have two folders containing
all the files necessary for playing original dm or csb!
THis can be easily done on one's own, but
if you play the game, and do not know about the poison shooter bug,
how can you know? read the news of csbuild and csbwin/lin on the forum 
So , all in all it is ok. It is work in progress , so ultimately
not that superfast to find for newbies but basically you need
only CSBwin-CSBuild.zip and
forget about all other files!
then switch to .. /games , get both dm.zip and csb.zip. That
would be ok. If you want to use dmextract, etc. you have to
fight your way through the forum . That is another story but
it is doable!
If the version 9.6 plus 14 is all right(probably)
you do not need very much else than /games and the one you
like. You could argue that the games folder is not big enough,
maybe /GAMES uppercase would be more eye popping .
JUST read Paul Stevens post:
that is maybe the prob that people do not know of the
/games folder or they miss it!(I missed to look at the date,
so who knows what the brain does for others while searching??)
Maybe modify the quicklinks description and add
csbwin/lin games ?.
The encyclopedia has 9.8 executable of csbwin ;
custom dungeons were:
3d2d1d, 3dmaze and prison of dragoth
I did not find the normal csb / dm dungeons however .
(so ChristopheF's website is more or less up to date, but incomplete concerning custom dungeons or I am too blindfolded to find them ? )
