- CD-ROM SUMMARY
-
- =========
- FRESHFISH
- =========
-
- The FreshFish CD-ROM is designed to meet the needs of users who want copies
- of new releases of material as soon as practical with a CD-ROM distribution.
- Depending upon when the material is received in the CD-ROM production cycle,
- and the time to go from CD-ROM master to production CD-ROM's, there should
- be an average latency of about three to six weeks between receiving new
- material and its availability on a FreshFish CD-ROM. This CD-ROM is
- currently on about an 8 week production cycle, and typically contains 50-100
- Mb of new software with each release. Eventually we hope to increase the
- amount of new material to 200 Mb or more with each release.
-
- ========
- GOLDFISH
- ========
-
- The GoldFish CD-ROM series collects material from previous floppy or CD-ROM
- distributions about every six months. It is intended to meet the needs of
- users that do not require frequent updates of newly released material.
-
- GoldFish Volume 1, a 2-CD set released in April of 1994, provides a complete
- archive of the 1000 "fish disk" floppy library, with all the disks provided
- in both archived and ready-to-run form. It can be used to produce master
- floppy disks for further duplication and distribution, using a simple to use
- program that is provided on the CD-ROM. It can also be used by BBS or
- anonymous ftp sites to provide convenient electronic access to all the
- material from the floppy library.
-
- GoldFish Volume 2, a 2-CD set released in December of 1994, includes all the
- new submissions included on the first 7 volumes of the FreshFish CD series,
- with all the material updated to the latest available version as of the date
- of completion of the CD. As with Volume 1, all of the material is included
- in both archived and unarchived form. It also includes the latest versions
- of the "useful tools" included on each FreshFish CD, such as the GNU
- utilities, reviews of hardware and software, etc.
-
- =============
- FROZENFISH-PC
- =============
-
- By popular demand from BBS operators that use IBM-PC systems, we have
- decided to produce a limited number of a special edition of a CD that
- contains all 1000 floppy disks archived on a per-disk basis, as well as
- other interesting material from the latest FreshFish or GoldFish series.
- These CD's are available now in limited quantities as CD-R (CD Recordable)
- "gold disks", that are individually written on demand. Depending upon
- demand, we may do a small production run of a few hundred of these CD's in
- January of 1995. Anyone that orders the CD-R version can later upgrade to
- the regular production run, if desired, for $5 plus shipping costs.

- =========
- LIGHT-ROM
- =========
-
- LIGHT-ROM is a CD-ROM dedicated to Lightwave 3D artists all over the world.
- Have you ever wished that you had access to all of the great freely
- distributable Lightwave objects, scene files, textures, images, etc. from
- all of the Lightwave BBS's all over the country? Graphic Detail and Amiga
- Library Services brings all of these resources and more to you on LIGHT-ROM,
- at an affordable price. LIGHT-ROM includes Lightwave 3D objection, scene
- files, surface attributes, image sequences, textures, bump maps, digital
- elevation maps (DEM's) and a collection of text files containing advice,
- reviews, and tips from professional Lightwave artists. There is also an
- exclusive "Showcase" directory, where Lightwave artists from around the
- world advertise their skills and services to the Lightwave community and
- potential employers. All Lightwave objects, textures, images and bump maps
- are represented with thumbnail renderings to save you the time and trouble
- of having to load and render them just to preview the files.

- AMINET
- ======
-
- We are now carrying the new Aminet CD's as an authorized U.S. distributer.
- Both the Aminet Gold and the Aminet Share are available. One year
- subscriptions for both CD's are also available. There are expected to be
- four releases per year, so the subscription is actually for 4 CD's,
- regardless of when they end up shipping. The only physical difference
- between the Aminet Gold CD and the Aminet Share CD is the front cover
- artwork. Built into the price of the Aminet Gold CD is an automatic
- contribution to the creators of the CD and sufficient margin to make the
- disk attractive to low volume resellers and retail sales outlets. Users who
- purchase to the Aminet Share version are expected to make their own
- contributions directly to the creators if they feel that the CD is
- worthwhile and wish to support creation of future Aminet CD's.

- MEETING PEARLS
- ==============
-
- This CD contains about 150 high quality and high resolution fractals, a
- ready to run version of PasTeX which includes fonts for FAX and 600 dpi
- printers, a ready to install version of the Amiga NetBSD port, and many
- other ready to run applications including UMS, DaggeX, a lot of utilities,
- games, etc. Because the version of NetBSD included on the CD-ROM includes
- encryption code that is restricted for U.S. export, all imported CD's will
- only be available for resale within the U.S.
