1196.0. "Amicus disks available" by PUERTO::ALVAREZ (Miguel,from sunny Puerto Rico) Thu Feb 25 1988 22:43

    
    	I just got from a friend Amicus disks 14, 15, 17, 18, 19 & 20.
    If you are interested in something from them, please reply here
    and I will upload sometime during next week.
    
    	Unfortunately, they don't have "Contents" file like Fish Disks,
    and I don't feel like typing everything that it's in them. But you can
    get a recent copy of Amazing Computing and on the last pages, they
    will be listed. Also, it doesn't make sense to upload the whole
    disk since most of the programs and files are already on Fish Disks
    that have been uploaded.

1196.1use DIRWJG::GUINEAUThe Mathematics of Reality ?Fri Feb 26 1988 10:338

I get Amazing Computing, so I'm not worried. But I imagine some poeple
*can't* get it.

Maybe you could do a 1> DIR > CONTENTS OPT A (or whatever) and post that...

1196.2Fish Disks on the NET?DPDMAI::ANDERSONASun Feb 28 1988 19:2415
    You mentioned in .0 that there were fish disk on the net.  I havent
    bought my Amiga yet but I can start collecting programs on Rainbow
    floppys and then transfer them from my rainbow to the Amiga later.
    There are a couple of notes mentioning some download directories.
    Note 450 mentions AUTHOR::USER:[MACDONALD.PUBLIC.AMIGA] but when
    I try a directory the job aborts.  I am on a all-in-one system
    and cannot get to DCL the system manager has left us with a small
    hole that we can use if we don't abuse it.  But I dont get the normal
    VMS error messages.  It could be that I just happened to try while
    the system or path to that system was down.  Are those files still
    there? Or have they been moved.
                                                                      
    Thanks

1196.4Fish Disks in mvcad3 (along with a lot more)PUERTO::ALVAREZMiguel,from sunny Puerto RicoMon Feb 29 1988 00:2610
    Re. 3
        	Uploaded Fish Disks can be found at mvcad3::user0:[amiga.xxx],
    where xxx stands for the subdirectory where the files are located.
    Do a "$ dir mvcad3::user0:[amiga]ff*.dir" for a list of all those
    that are available. There is also a "readme" file (don't remember
    the exact name), that explains how to (after dowloading to your
    Amiga) restore the disk and all its programs.

able to answer questions of "how it works".
