So what's on these disks?

Since this contains some of the best of the AMUC Express (AMIGA ONLY) BBS you can expect to find a huge number of IFF and JPEG pictures, animations sounds, mods, 3D objects, clipart, fonts (bitmap and structured), text files, programs and demos from all over the world. The files are primarily stored as LZH, LHA or DMS files.

There are FILES.BBS and 00_INDEX.TXT files in all the directories, as well as long descriptions of most files stored in a separate description file tree.

The directory names are a maximum of 8 characters with 3 character extensions, so it is usable on most PC based systems (there are file names that are longer than 8+3 characters, so how these will appear on your PC system will depend on the CDROM driver you have). The disk is an ISO-9660 format disk.

The AMUC2/3 set also includes two searching utilities along with the databases for AMUC1, AMUC2 and AMUC3. These allow you to search for files by name (including AmigaDOS wildcards) and by content. The contents of all the files have been scanned and the keywords from them have been placed into a large database for fast approximate searches.

A last word about AMUC

AMUC is a non-profit organization dedicated to the support of Amiga Users and the promotion of the Amiga computer. Purchasers of either the AMUC4 CDROM or the AMUC2/3 set are eligible for a $10.00 discount on an AMUC mail-out membership.
