*************************************************************************
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.
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.
