fnf@estinc.UUCP (Fred Fish) (03/16/89)
Disks 179-188 were released about two weeks ago, but this is the first chance I have had to post a listing of their contents to the net. Estinc has been off the net since about Feb 23 for use in our booth at UniForum. I think they shipped it back to us via covered wagon or something... Disks 189-194 are essentially complete, but will not be released until after this weekend, since I may do some last minute changes while finishing up disks 195-198 (may even go for disk 200 if I have enough time and material!). So consider the contents of 189-194 to be subject to change.

Author: Doug Mcdonald, Amiga port by Eric Kennedy CONTENTS OF DISK 185 -------------------- This is a copy of the official November 1988 Commodore IFF disk, sent to me directly by Commodore for inclusion in the library. The only changes I made were: (1) Placed all the files in the "documents" directory into a zoo file "documents.zoo" to free up enough space to add my normal distribution files and icons. Some of the files on the disk were already in zoo format anyway, so this seems like a minor alteration. (2) Changed the file "AboutThisRelease" to reflect the zoo'ing of the documents. (3) Rearranged the icons to make room for my additional icons. -Fred CONTENTS OF DISK 186 -------------------- A68k A 68000 assembler originally written in Modula-2 in 1985 and converted to C by Charlie Gibb in 1987.
