CHANGES TO THE DISK CATALOGUE *** UPDATED *** GA 71 - SCRAZZLE ** UPDATED 29 May 1993 ** By Mr and Mrs C. J. Edwards. Needs 1meg. Crosswordy-Scrabbly game, with a large repertoire of word and an excellent checking program. Excellent educational game. Ed: The authors are local programmers and also wrote the programs in the "COMPENDIUM" disk (MISC 33). The list of words exceeds 100,000 I believe. Original, interesting and educational. GA 75 THE INSIDERS CLUB ** UPDATED 29 May 1993 ** This is a stock market simulation game by Colin Edwards, which allows one or two players to speculate on a mythical Australian market (although with a lot of real company names). It's well put together and more interest is added by the Club of the title, entry to which is astronomically expensive. Once inside, you are presented with a series of envelopes of legally dubious inside information, good and bad news, which you can purchase for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. These give some useful tips on what to dump and what to buy. Another good 'un, give it a shot - but remember - 1meg or more is needed. GA 76 CHICHI *** UPDATED 29 May 93 - Bugs removed, easier to play and faster. This is set up on a bootable disk, and is another fine offering from Colin Edwards of Grenfell NSW, who also wrote "Scrazzle" and "StockMarket". This program is good for anyone who likes crosswords, word puzzles, anagarams, etc in a game format, with all games being different. The program is Shareware, and Colin suggests A$25, which will get you the latest version if sent with a SASE. Also on this disk is "Chic", a "light relaxing version" of ChiChi. MISC 10D ** UPDATED FEB '93 ** FISHLIST This disk, thrown together by me, Daniel Rutter, contains an enormous PowerPacked text file of the contents files from every Fish disk from 1 to 750, in numerical order. I recommend you unpack it and put it on your hard disk, and use a fast text editor like CEDPro to search through the 1.2 megabytes of uncompressed ASCII. It CAN be used from floppy with the help of PP, the PowerPacker Patcher, but you'll need a couple of megabytes of RAM. I find this textfile a much simpler way of finding stuff than Aquarium. It's not bootable and the list is iconned to display with Fullview but I DON'T recommend using Fullview's slow search function to find anything! [Ed: I use TxEd, MicroSmith's old text editor, which works fine.] MISC 10E ** Added Apr '93 ** KINGFISHER_HD (Fish 1 - 850) Ken Simpson has put this disk together for us - it has all the listings up to Fish 850 using the amazing new Fish database program, Kingfisher, which is said to be faster and less buggy than Aquarium, though I'm sure others will disagree. Whatever the case, this is a neat fast way of finding what you want on the Fish disks, and requires 1.4 meg of space on your hard drive. This all fits on a floppy due to Ken's use of Chas Wyndham's P-Compress program which is one of the most effective compressors around. MISC 10F ** Added Apr '93 ** KINGFISHER_FLOPPY (Fish 1 - 840) Ken Simpson has put this disk together for us - it has all the listings up to Fish 810 using the amazing new Fish database program, Kingfisher. This version requires 1.4 meg of space in memory in one piece. This all fits on a floppy due to Ken's use of Chas Wyndham's P-Compress program. MISC 33 - COMPENDIUM ** UPDATED 29 May 1993 ** By Mr and Mrs C. J. Edwards, 1meg required for some programs. Contains a tiny PD database, and similar spreadsheet; a maze game, Yahtzee, Craps and Speller, a spelling game. Very good stuff. Some of these programs could have been commercial, such is the quality, and the writer is a local programmer. UT 363 ** Updated May '93 ** BOOT A1200 Allows user of KS2 and greater to boot into a KS1.3 system. There are also options for turning off CPU caches for accelerated systems. This should eliminate 99% (nothing is ever certain) of incompatability problems using the newer Amigas to run older software. Thanks to Althea Lutz for this great one! ! ! ! N O T E ! ! ! Due to copyright infringments the kickstart file for this disk has been removed. But when loaded into workbench, you can access several utilities which will allow you to create yor own kickstart file for use with this disk. MS 304 Removed because it was identical to MS 305.
