TITLE
Aminet CD 6
AUTHOR
Urban D. Mueller (umueller@wuarchive.wustl.edu)
CONTENTS
Aminet CD 6 contains over 1 gigabyte of freely distributable software.
The newest file included is dated Apr 28th. The space is used as
follows (uncompressed sizes):
520M of software newer than Aminet CD 5
500M of demos
20M of top downloads
These consist of:
1800 demos
1300 tools
350 mods
140 pics
120 games
The demos were collected from various sources besides Aminet, and almost
none of them have appeared on previous Aminet CDs.
The disks also contains all Amiga Report magazines issued so far.
ACCESS SOFTWARE
Amigaguide based user interface, allows easy unpacking and viewing
using a single mouse click.
Extensive search facilities. Finds words in descriptions or readmes,
and outputs matches as an index that allows direct viewing.
New access features for the following categories of files:
- Demos: All demos have been tested. Separate lists of best, good and
compatible demos. All demos startable from those indices. Another
demo index is the Amiga Demo List with extensive info about almost
all demos on the CD. It is sorted by demo group. Finally there is a
program called BootTool that allows you to view demos right after a
reboot without much fuss, so you can quickly look at the demos that
force you to reboot.
- Mods: All of the modules are listed in indices sorted by music style
and rating. There's also an index sorted by module author and the
possibility to randomly play music of a certain style.
- Docs: All Amiga Report electronic magazines that have appeared so far
are on this CD, including a utility that allows you to search for any
text in any AR article very quickly.
- Personal: Aminet CD 6 allows you to easily create an index of your
favourite files on the CD.
- German: All the files (except demos) on Aminet CD 6 have a German
description. Also included is an index of the SaarAG disks up to
840.
Other improvements are the possibility to use file requesters to
set extraction and tool paths, and 'Clones' which are little programs
that, when started, unpack and run/view a file from the Aminet CD.
