- Hello, folks of the Amiga world !
-
- I've recently started fiddling around with FTP'ing programs, and I've
- got a few questions about where to find some things.
-
- I'm FTP'ing from SUN-Unix and then transferring to Amiga via DOS-disks.
- That part works just dandy, but I've got a little lharc-problem. The
- lharc I'm using came from wuarchive in the /archive-directory and works
- on Unix, so I'm lharc'ing the files before transferring to DOS-disks.
- That's also okay, I prefer it that way to lharc'ing on the Amiga.
- BUT that lharc doesn't work on all files I find - only about 1/3 of
- them. The rest I get the message: "Sorry, cannot extract that method."
- So now I've got following questions :
-
- - Where can I find another lharc that'll take all the files ?
- - What's the difference between .lha and .lhz files ?
- - Are the any other widely used archivers that I should have
- before entering the world of FTP and PD ?
- - Which archiver is used on the Fish-disks ?
-
- Secondly I've got a few questions about the whereabouts of some programs
- and other things I'm interested in :
-
- - Are there any sites you can recommend as having many interesting
- things in it ? (I'd appreciate answers to this and the other ques-
- tions giving the site number as well as the name, thanks. As in:
- wuarchive.wustl.edu - 128.252.135.4 - /systems/amiga dir. )
-
- - What's the number of the most recent Fish-disk ?
- - Which site has got the most recent Fish-Disks ?
-
- - Could Anyone recommend me a good PD wordprocessor ?
- - And tell me a site to find it ?
-
- - I'm doing a bit of Desk Top Publishing using Professional Page
- (so far just version 1.2) and I'd like some Clip-Art collections.
- - Can you recommend any good collections ?
- - Also perhaps some good collections in matrix (for example for
- Deluxe Paint use) ?
- I'm interested in a wide variety of themes, including general topics.
- - Of course I'd also appreciate sites, where I can find these collec-
- tions (PD naturally).
-
- - Lastly, what's the best PD-program for reading DOS-disks on the Amiga?
- - Is there any PD-program similar to CrossDos ?
- - Where can they be found ?
-
- Thank you all so much for your help, I appreciate it !
-
- E-Mail responses, please, I might not be reading the news.
-
- Thanks again Kim Berg Hansen
