-
- Welcome to the AGA software compilation Disk One.
-
- *************************************************************************
-
- All programs will work on AGA/KS3.0 equiped Amigas, some will work with
- ECS/KS3.0, ECS/KS2.04 or (even!) OCS/KS1.3 Amigas.
-
- All doc files have icons but not all programs were supplied with icons
- so I did not add any. More (the standard text reader) must be in
- the WorkBench Path to view the docs (ie if you are reading this then
- it probably is!). More is found in the SYS:Utilities drawer.
-
- The "*** Requires:" field outlines the MINIMUM requirements of Operating
- System Software and/or Amiga Hardware required.
-
- Also, this disk is formatted with the FastFileSystem. Only KS2.04 or
- greater supports FFS on floppys, so don't wonder why the disk is
- unreadable on a KS1.3 or less system!
-
- I hope you find some of these programs useful.
-
- Thanks must go to the various authors of the programs for getting
- AGA supported software out so quickly.
- Copyright, where stated, remains with the authors of the software
- and not with me. Usual disclaimers apply.
-
-

- Shows normal IFF ILBM files or those crunched with
- PowerPacker. Also plays standard Op5 ANIMS. Also included is a

- to compress some of the files to include them all on the disk.
- Use LHA to decompress them. This will only affect those
- people wishing to use the MakeAnim7, FireCracker, IV24, Retina
- and OpalVision versions of the software.
- *** Requires: KS2.04 or greater.
