"WB2 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.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of These disks require Workbench 2.0
These WB2 BEST OF FISH DISKS Files have been updated as of July 1994:

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,Also The Arp.Library from the Libs Directory.
Use a Copy OF Your Original Workbench - This Should Stop Any Problems.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HQMM Hero Quest MapMaker. With HQMM, you can create your own

out in the same style as the original Hero Quest missions.

This is WB2 BEST OF FISH DISK 19 of the freely distributable AMIGA software.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
Imploder The Imploder allows you to reduce the size of executable
files while having them retain their full functionality.
There are other "crunchers" or "packers" available for the
Amiga, but none are as mindful of the complexities of your
Amiga system as the Imploder. In addition to this, its
algorithms are more efficient, both in terms of speed, and
size reduction. Version 4.0, binary only.

Paul van der Valk

programs exist, this one is unique in that it is designed

semi-monthly, bi-weekly and weekly payment re-schedules.

Wbsm Activates or deactivates programs that are run from the
WBStartup drawer. When run from the user-startup script
holding down the LEFTMOUSEBUTTON during boot up will popup
the Workbench Startup Manager GUI. Since the user-startup
script is executed before the programs in the WBStartup
drawer are run, your selection will be valid in that very
session. Version 1.2, binary only.

Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
MTool MultiTool II is a directory utility resembling DMaster V1.4
(cosmetically only). It offers all basic functions (copy,
delete,...), special features can be configured using

MTool supports different screenmodes, localization, fonts,
it opens an appwindow and works as a commodity. Everything
is set up with a very user friendly prefs editor. MTool
