    P.S. Yes, I have read note 42 - but I think that system is too awkward.
    I don't see any reason why the SW just couldn't lie around in a
    world read directory - that's been working fine for the RB software
    for a long time. Much less work for the person maintaining it;
    the problem of getting all associated files for a 'product'
    can be avoided by using e.g. only archive files.
    
324.2Toolshed not on SPHINXSPHINX::SWEATTTue Mar 24 1987 16:028
	To all of the people who have been wondering if the Toolshed 
exists on SPHINX the answer is no. I have no idea where to find software 
for the Amiga. I anyone has placed all software on one system please let 
everyone else know.

    Is there an Amiga Toolshed ?
324.4Heres some infoSMAUG::SPODARYKTwenty, 20, 20-4 hours to go...Fri Jan 06 1989 18:1515
    There are archives in several places.  These come to mind:
    
    tape::user1:[amiga...] 	! [amiga.arc], etc
    norse::amiga:[000000...]    ! [.utilities], [.games], [.demos], etc
    wjg::amiga:			
    
    These contains *lots* of PD, and shareware, most of it quite good.
    You should get a copy of Ed Acciardi's starter disk.  This contains
    the software necessary to start downloading (Terminal emulator,
    arc, zoo, other utilities ). 
    
    Look around the conference for other pointers to "toolsheds", and
    tips on downloading, etc.  Have fun!

    Thanks! Where can I get EdAcciardi's starter disk ? I've read through
    the notes about getting started, but without any knowledge whatsoever
    of PC's/Amiga's I get confused with all the new names like XMODEM,
    UUEN/DECODE etc.
    
    Thought I'd give it a try this weekend....

    Hi...
    
    As luck would have it, I'm Ed Acciardi!  If you e-mail me, I'll
    work out arrangements to get you a disk with all you'll need to
    begin transfering stuff, unpacking files, and in general making
    your Amiga more wonderful than it already is.
    
    All I ask of Starter disk recipients is that they name a child after
    me, even if it's a girl.
    
    Ed.

Hi Ed,

Im not planning on any more additions to the family (four is enough). Would a 
horse suit you?
