Bruce) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.announce Subject: Aminet CDROM for Amiga, 650 MB -- $25 Date: 3 Jul 1993 20:57:54 GMT Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 63 Distribution: world Message-Id: <214rsi$4j5@agate.berkeley.edu> Nntp-Posting-Host: sage.berkeley.edu Status: RO The Amiga Aminet archive is available now on CDROM. The disc contains the entire Aminet from amiga.physik.unizh.ch as of mid-May 1993. It also contains the old AB20 archive and most of comp.sources.amiga and comp.binaries.amiga. We had to leave off some of the older comp.binaries.amiga files because the disc was too full. There is a total of 650 meg of stuff on this disc. The disc is in Level-2 ISO-9660, which means that filenames are up to 32 characters, single case. We made sure the filenames are unique in the first 8 chars, so this disc will work okay MSDOS too. The disc has index files for several MSDOS BBS's. The disc contains thousands of programs, including utilities, games, development tools, graphics, business software, hardware documents, sound and music programs, and much more. If you want to check out what is on this disc, the readme and index files are available via anonymous ftp from cdrom.com in the directory /cdrom/cdroms/aminet. The price is $25. S&H is $5 (per order, not per disc) for US/Can/Mex, and $10 for overseas. If you live in California, please add sales tax. You can send a check or money order, or you can order with Visa/MC/AmEx.
