If Viscorp stick to their word the Amiga will have a new operating system very soon. Ben Vost takes a look at the current state of affairs and compares Workbench with its counterparts on the Mac and the PC.
NetBSD, the replacement operating system, is the best implementation of Unix for modern Amigas. With it you can run a huge range of software. Simon N Goodwin explains how it's done.
Networking - part three
In the last part of our feature on
networking John Kennedy has some final words of advice and some
guidance on where to go from here for more
information.
Monument Designer
If video work
is your forte and you've got a creative steak then
Graeme
Sandiford has the perfect answer. Monument Designer has
been very popular in Germany for several years and it's finally
been
converted into English. Turn to page 58 for the complete run-down
on this professional package.
Final Writer
5
After Wordworth 5 from Digita arrived in the
Amiga Format office we knew that it was only a matter of
time before Softwood released their latest version of Final
Writer and sure enough here it is. David Taylor decides
whether or not version five of this mighty word pro meets the high
standards of its competitor.
GVP 68060
This accelerator board
from GVP for the Amiga 4000 should improve memory capacity, disk
drive and processor speed.
Simon N Goodwin attached it to his
Amiga and rigorously tested this accelerator.
Apollo
1260
The new Apollo accelerator is incredibly fast and it
is also capable of taking up to 32Mb on a single 72-pin SIMM. But
is there anything here that can't be found elsewhere?
David
Taylor has all the answe
rs.
CD-ROMs
We've got Aminet 12,
Magic Publisher and MODs Anthology to name but a few.
Ben Vost has had a good look to see which ones you should be adding
to your collection.
