-
- 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.
