Short: AGA Software Compilation, Disk 3 release 5 Architecture: m68k-amigaos ************************************************************************* Welcome to the AGA software compilation Disk Three. ************************************************************************* All programs will work on AGA/KS3.0 equiped Amigas, some will work with ECS/KS3.0, ECS/KS2.04 or (even!) OCS/KS1.3 Amigas. All doc files have icons but not all programs were supplied with icons so I did not add any. More (the standard text reader) must be in the WorkBench Path to view the docs (ie if you are reading this then it probably is!). More is found in the SYS:Utilities drawer. The "*** Requires:" field outlines the MINIMUM requirements of Operating System Software and/or Amiga Hardware required. Also, this disk is formatted with the FastFileSystem. Only KS2.04 or greater supports FFS on floppys, so don't wonder why the disk is unreadable on a KS1.3 or less system! I hope you find some of these programs useful. Thanks must go to the various authors of the programs for getting AGA supported software out so quickly. Copyright remains with the authors of the software and not with me. Usual disclaimers apply.
