SIDlist is basically a flat database that contains all the information about every SID file in the HVSC in an easily searchable format. SIDlist is generated by a Perl script that reads the information from the PSID headers of the SID files, from the STIL file in HVSC and from the songlength database.
SIDlist is provided in two formats: SIDlist.csv contains comma-separated values in a format that can be loaded into Microsoft Excel directly. SIDlist.txt is a plain text file that contains the same information in a format that is easy to search by tools like grep, awk, Perl, etc. The only difference between the two files is that SIDlist.txt also contains the so-called section-global (per dir) STIL comments, while SIDlist.csv does not.
The files are provided as is merely for the convenience of SID fans. But if you have any questions about them, suggestions, any feedback, don't hesitate to send me email.
