Yes, it is all quite confusing. I just did two updates on the CASA entry for "Enchanter: Westfront to Apse" but we might as well wait carrying these out until I/some have looked more into it.
By now I have learned the following:
The original first game was for C128 and named "Enchanter: West Front to Apse" but was lost and later partly recovered and from that recreated so he made a very similar C128 version much later - at least
https://ppanks76.tripod.com/apse1.txt says it was updated as late as 2003. So that recreated version should be covered by the same entry.
An almost identical C64 version was then produced (locations and objects seems to be the same the first many locations), except that it had to access the disk constantly instead of keeping the game in memory. There may also be a very faithful PC port (not to be confused with Westfront PC: Trials of Guilder). So this recreated C64 version should be the same entry as the original C128 game.
Partly in parallel with all this (? - dates are hard to figure out) he made the game "Westfront PC: Trials of Guilder" with 1700+ locations. Cutdown versions was then made for several platforms, normally named "Westfront <platform>" e.g. "Westfront 64", "Westfront VIC-20" which fits with "Westfront PC". These three have their own entries which is good as they are quite different due to huge differences in memory etc.
To make the confusion complete, I also found a C128 game which says when it starts: "Westfront I&II Version 7.6" and copyright 1994-1997. This fits with this quote: "I actually wrote two distinct text adventures that year but later combined them together to form one large game." (

It seems that at least 7 of the 8 CASA entries for Westfront games are distinct games. There may even be more, such as the one titled "Westfront I&II" but I guess we should clean up before considering adding more.
So I am still in doubt whether it is necessary to have both "Westfront to Apse" and "Enchanter: Westfront to Apse" and I notice that "Westfront to Apse" is not a part of the series.
I am trying to download all versions from his homepage (still exist) and the IF Archive to determine which versions are just for different platforms and which are truly distinct games, assuming that the admins here would like to modify the entries. I think the most important bit would be to clarify in the notes which versions are regarded as the same entry. If that isn't clear, we may end up with reviews and screenshots in the wrong places etc.
