"BEST OF FISH" COLLECTION
The following disks are the result of a severe culling of the Fish
Disks, which often have numerous updates, obscure text files, many
programming source files, etc, of little use to the average user. Leon
Jarvis has worked long and hard to reduce the collection to the most
useful and interesting items, to make the Fish Collection easier to
digest, and less of a problem to hunt through for that particular
program. However, the full Fish Collection is always available from us
if there is anything omitted which you might find useful. This list
is constantly being updated by Leon, so keep updating your catalogue.
Disks 1 - 7 cover the Fish disks from 1 - 100, disks 8 - 13 cover
the Fish disks from 101 - 150 (amazing how it squeezes down), and disks
14 - 35 cover them from 151 - 210, and 15 - 40 cover from 211 - 236 and
so on.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These BEST OF FISH DISKS Files have been updated as of MAY 1992:

IF THINGS DON'T WORK...
Just a word to everyone that uses any public domain collections.
Or If you are new to the Amiga and you are having problems and you
are getting a requester saying something like:
"please insert volume Best_of_fish" and you know that you just
put your disk in the drive then more than likely you have
removed a file from your Boot disk and the program cannot find it.
MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE FOUND THE FILE TO BE XICON THAT IS MISSING
FROM THE BOOT DISK.
USE A COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL WORKBENCH - THIS SHOULD STOP ANY PROBLEMS.
