Amiga Forever is a cross-platform Amiga integration solution, providing tools ranging from Amiga Explorer, to connect an Amiga to the PC and access all Amiga drives from the Windows desktop, to an official and easy to use Amiga emulation environment with original Amiga ROM and OS files. For more information, please refer to the Amiga Forever home page: http://www.cloanto.com/amiga/forever/ Presenting The Kara Collection CD-ROM It took 10 years of hard work to create the superb art which is contained on this CD-ROM. The Kara Collection includes all packages previously published by Kara Computer Graphics for the Amiga, plus many more, in an exclusive and professional edition reorganized and enhanced by Cloanto. This CD-ROM contains 80 ColorFonts (including effects like brick, glass, chrome, chisel, etc.), 5 AnimFonts (handwriting, rotating characters, static wipes, sparkles, etc.), hundreds of alternate colour palettes, Starfields (moving stars seen from different perspectives), Plaquegrounds (backgrounds such as granite, marble, sand-stone, wood, etc.), and software for special effects in pictures, animations, titling and presentations. All items for solo or combined use. The Kara Collection also includes two software packages developed by Cloanto to manage bitmapped fonts: ColorType for colour fonts and the Personal Fonts Maker for black and white fonts. Both have been acclaimed as the best in their respective fields. To make AnimFonts really easy and enjoyable to use, we created an ARexx program for Personal Paint, which renders any string of characters into animated text. As Kara says, "So long to the laborious task of placing individual letters... This is the way AnimFonts were meant to be!!!" Legal Notes This archive is not freely distributable.
