"AVS-AMIGA" PRODUCT INFORMATION - September, 1992 version
AVS-NOTE: I am not a "PD-distributor" as such - I produce and collect work
for my own recreation and interest. Occasionally, I release my work to the
public-domain market, but the vast majority of it is kept privately by me.
Apart from collected and re-distributed PD-programs, all work is original.
"CATALOGUE-DISK": Version 5.0 of this bootable disk is currently available,
containing details, reviews and assessments of the 150-plus disks which are
currently available in the "AVS-Amiga" range, plus details of the equipment
and PD disk-collection which I have (Catalogue last updated in June, 1992).

AVS-NOTE: Apart from programs which are related to areas of work that I am
particularly interested in, these are programs I've generally collected by
"accident" from cover-disks Fish-disks and the like. I can't guarantee the
best programs or their latest-versions - but these are $ 10.00 each due to
the amount of work I've put into them. Another 15-20 disks are on the way.

- "GIF-works" - Programs for viewing and converting IFF and GIF files.
- "Hackworks" - Just a collection of "Workbench-hacks" and their files
- "IBM-works" - Read, write, copy, format IBM-disks; GIF-HAM conversion
- "Iconworks" - The most "complete" guide to creating and using icons
- "NewAgeworks" - Zodiacs, runes and similar other-worldly type programs
- "Printworks" - Programs for selectively and creatively printing files
- "Soundworks" - For capturing, creating and modifying sounds and samples
- "Trackworks" - Best "SoundTracker" type program, players, rippers, etc.
- "Typeworks" - Learn to type or improve your typing with these programs
ADULTS-ONLY SOFTWARE

--------------------
- "Hotdisk#5" - Best disk of original work ($ 20.00) from a large range
- "AO-Amiga" - Excursions into graphics & animated screen-manipulation
PUBLIC DOMAIN DISKS
(non-original work)
-------------------
- "(various)" - Disk-swapping, conventional ordering and magazine (with
cover-disk) buying has resulted in a large range of PD-
disks being collected by me: approximately 300 disks of
various types: megademos, Fish-disks, AO-stuff and lots
more - details of these are in my "Catalogue" disk.
