This is the August 1995 update to the FrozenFish (TM) CD-ROM, based on the
April 1994 FrozenFish and updated with 100 new floppy disks (1001-1100), plus
other material from recent FreshFish CD-ROM releases. This version is also
ISO-9660 level 1 for compatibility with all systems including MS-DOS, and
is BBS ready with FILES.BBS files in each directory.
This file contains important information that applies to this particular
CD-ROM, and points out other important files that you should read.
For general information about the Amiga Library CD-ROMs and other important
information, read the various files in the "DOCS" directory.
Also be sure to read the LEGAL.TXT, COPYRGHT.TXT, WARRANTY.TXT, WARNING.TXT,
and SHAREWRE.TXT files if you have not done so before.
=================
CONTENTS OVERVIEW
=================
The 16 BBS/FTP ready directories on this CD-ROM contain a total of 1518 lha
archives, along with other files such as floppy disk CRC or text files, with
individual FILES.BBS files in each directory.
There is a total of 645 Mb of material on this CD-ROM, broken down as
follows:
Size
(Mb) Files
---- -----
451 1100 "Fish disks" 1-1100, archived on a per-disk basis, with
a product info file and CRC file for each lha archive.
102 174 Animations and graphics utilities from FreshFish Volume 9.

16 74 Games and related material from FreshFish Volume 9.
2 5 CBM Native Developer Update Kits, V37, V39, & V40,

============
LHA ARCHIVES
============
All the archives on this CD-ROM are in "lha format", so all you have to do
to unpack any archive on an Amiga is use a command of the form:
lha -mraxe x archive.lha
Please consider registering with the author of the Amiga lha archiver,
Stefan Boberg, for the latest version of lha, so he can continue to support
this fine program.
To recreate a copy of a particular "Fish Disk", say disk 100, locate the
appropriate archive, format a floppy, and extract the contents of the
archive to the floppy, and then verify the floppy using the brik program and
the provided CRC listing of each file. Using disk 100 as an example:
format df0: name AmigaLibDisk100 noicons
lha -mraxe x FZFAUG95:BBS/D01XX/D0100.LHA AmigaLibDisk100:
cd AmigaLibDisk100:
brik -Cb FZFAUG95:BBS/D01XX/D0100.CRC
The lha program can be found in LHA/AMIGA/BIN/LHA for Amiga systems. The
brik program can be found in BRIK/AMIGA/BIN/BRIK for Amiga systems. Be sure
to read the documentation in the BRIK/AMIGA directory about installing the
ixemul.library before trying to run brik. The brik program uses the CRC
file to verify that you got a 100% accurate copy of the disk you have
extracted.

TBBS SUPPORT
============
We would like to thank Jim Chevraux, who supplied the information and sample
files which allowed us to include TBBS support.
