Miksi tämän uskotaan vastaavan Apajalistan ANDROM9.ZIP-tiedostoa?
Why this is believed to correspond to Apajalista ANDROM9.ZIP
----------------------------------------------------------------
* Apajalista ID 46080 identifies ANDROM9.ZIP as "Andromeda 9", dated
  14.07.2001, with MBnet size 14.8 MiB ("14,8 Mt").
* The recovered installer contains the official README identifying the release
  as "Andromeda 9 Public Test 2" by Northbridge Games (2000-2001).
* The installer is an Inno Setup 1.3.9 self-extracting Windows installer.
* Its recovered game data includes the game families described by the MBnet
  entry: deathmatch/team play, capture-the-flag, domination-related code/assets,
  and race content.
* The newest preserved payload timestamps inside the installer are from
  26.06.2001, consistent with an MBnet listing dated 14.07.2001.
* The raw installer is 14.866 MiB and would round to 14.9 MiB. Wrapping the
  unchanged installer in a normal DEFLATE ZIP produces about 14.813-14.816 MiB,
  which rounds to exactly 14.8 MiB, matching the historical MBnet listing.

Mitä EI tiedetä / What is NOT known
-----------------------------------
The exact original ANDROM9.ZIP bytes have not been recovered. In particular,
we do not know the original ZIP program/compression level, internal filename,
DOS timestamp, extra fields, entry order, or whether MBnet included an
additional FILE_ID.DIZ/readme file.

MBnet archives are known to sometimes carry the five-byte ZIP archive comment
"MBnet". That comment has intentionally NOT been added here, because doing so
would falsely imply that this newly created repack is an authentic MBnet file.
