Could some kind soul please post (or email, depending on how many of us you figure already have this) the current list of Fred Fish disk contents? I liked the utility someone posted from Commodore recently to search this list, but I don't have the file. Also, a recent posting showed systems which could be accessed via ftp to get Amiga source files. One thing that wasn't clear to me was whether any of those sites had the full Fred Fish archives. Is there such a system on the internet, accessible via anonymous ftp? If not, what's your opinion of the best-stocked ftp host. Thanks in advance to all.

FTP to uxe.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.5.54) and go to the amiga/fish directory. About 90% of the Fish disks through 110 are there, each disk in its own directory. Disk <nnn> is in directory ff<nnn>. Disks less than 100 have a leading 0, i.e. disk 98 is stored in the directory ff098. Each program on each disk is a Zoo archive. I'm not sure, but I think the latest fish disk list is there. If not, it can be found on swan.ulowell.edu in amiga/doc/fish.list. It is over 200K long and ran to 88 pages when I printed it. To the people at Illinois-Urbana/Champaign who maintain the Fish archive: THANKS! I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. --M Michael Portuesi / Carnegie Mellon University ARPA/UUCP: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: rainwalker@drycas "Memories are uncertain friends, when recalled by messages" -- OMD, "Messages"
