(Revised 1/14/91)
This is disk 0a (disk 0 has been split into disk 0a and disk 0b) of the
freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Because the current library has grown so large, it is no longer cost
effective to distribute a printed catalog. Therefore, the catalog disks
replace the printed catalog, and will be updated at each new release of
disks to reflect the current state of the library.
There is no duplication fee for the catalog disks. To receive the latest
available catalog disks at any time, simply return the original disks,
or send the appropriate number of blank disks, to:
Fred Fish
Catalog disk update
1835 East Belmont Drive
Tempe, Arizona 85284
USA
Please enclose a preaddressed mailing label to affix to our return mailing
envelope, and sufficient postage for 3 ounces First Class mail (currently
65 cents).
Note that you can always obtain the latest catalog disks automatically by
following the above procedure but specifying that you want the disks to
be held until the next update.
The catalog disks currently support two different ways of getting
information about disks in the library. First of all, on catalog disk 0a,
there are copies of all the README.listXX (or Contents) files, containing
description of disk XX's contents
Second, on disk 0b, there is a nice little disk cataloging program called
dirmaster, under directory "DirMaster" naturally, that manipulates a data
base of the disks, allowing you to quickly find any file or directory on
any disk currently in the library.
If you are completely new to the Amiga and haven't seen any of the
library disks before, you will probably want to explore the README-FILES.
If you are looking for a particular file, directory, or program,
try DirMaster.
Note that the text files on this disk have been packed with PowerPacker
and are accessible for viewing with the MuchMorePoPa program, which
automatically unpacks them to ram: before viewing. This was done to
avoid going to three disks for the catalog. If you need to use an
unpacked version of any file, you can use PowerPacker to unpack it.
PowerPacker is available on disk 253.
Enjoy.
