A.M.I.G.O.S.
***********************
Welcome to the A.M.I.G.O.S. library, Like the fred fish disk's they
all have to be accessed from the workbench environment.
They have a similar presentation to T.B.A.G. Although the early ones
are perhaps not quite as well polished, That aside, the content is
extremely good, Many have Utilities that I have never seen before such as
Vertical V2.0 which will scroll text to read it ( Think of the
applications that could be put to !)
Anyway, Have a peruse of the listing and see if anything takes your
fancy.
If you wish to order any of these disk's just ask for it
by title, for example:
" Please Mr PD Library man, can I have Amigos 4/90?"

loading them into your paint package,doing the biz, saving
them out, changing the brushes back to icons,WELL...this
one program will do the lot very easily, it contains its

Amigos 12/90: ( A )*

DISK TWO ( B )*
MUSIC:- FOREVER,- Another nice score,
UTILITIES:- LIBS,- This contains the powerpacker library you need to
copy to your c directory on your boot disk if you want to
read the documents on these two disks, The other way to
read them is to use sid, as it recognises documents
compressed with powerpacker and selects ppmore
automaticaly, ( useless hint No 1 )
PP.TYPE,- This will print crunched text files,
PP.MORE,- This will let you read crunched text filed by
selecting them via a file requestor, so this is another
way to read those text files if you dont wish to transfer
the library or haven't got sid,
DISKOPTI,- Another disk optimising utility to enable disks
to load far quicker by optimising the information on the
disk,
DOSHELPER,- Explains the use of dos commands and gives
explainations as to how you should use these commands,

fill in the gaps,
