(Revised 4/3/94)
Introduction
Welcome to the Amiga Freely Redistributable Library. The library
was started by Fred Fish in November 1985, shortly after the
release of the Amiga 1000, and has continued to grow and flourish
since then, thanks to the generous contributions of innumerable
Amiga users.
With the release of disk 1000 in April 1994, Fred Fish will no
longer be directly involved in the selection or organization of
material for the floppy library, and instead will be concentrating
on CD-ROM distributions. It is expected that responsibility for
continuing floppy distributions, using material from the released
CD-ROM's, will be officially transfered to another party willing
to take on that chore.
Files on this disk that you may wish to read include:
Contents: A listing of the contents of this particular disk.
Distribution: Information about distribution status of library.
Catalog: How to obtain a catalog of the entire library.
Orders: How to order other disks from the library.
Submissions: How to submit material for inclusion in the library.
What's Available
There are useful tools, games, programming examples, editors,
compilers for various languages, demos of commercial products,
and other odds and ends.
Guarantee
There is no guarantee as to the performance or usability of any
of the materials in this library. In general, most suppliers will
replace or rewrite, at no additional charge, any disk ordered
directly from them, which turns out to be defective or unreadable.
Given the nature of this library, you should not expect anyone
to assume any liability for the results of using anything from
this library.
Notes
Please keep in mind that most of the materials in this library
are intended for use by experienced programmers, or at least
experienced Amiga users. Many are runnable only via the CLI user
interface, as they contain no icon files (particularly the early
disks, before about disk number 90). If you are inexperienced with
the Amiga CLI interface, you may need the assistance of an
experienced user to make use of some of these disks. I do not
provide telephone support for instructions on how to run specific
programs from the library.
Starting with disk 421, library disk construction was moved to
WorkBench 2.0, and all submissions were tested under the latest
developers version available at the time the disk was finalized.
One side effect of this move, is that various icons may look
rather strange under WorkBench 1.3 due to the improved graphical
interface of 2.0.
