[comp.sys.amiga] Fish Disks? Future Free/SharWare?

sdean1@uvicctr.UUCP (Steve Dean) (06/07/87)

Hi,

    I'm posting this question for myself and a couple of other people who are
curious about a few things...

    The first thing I was wondering about was how much utility software is
there floating around?  Does Fred Fish have all of it or is there some 
elsewhere?

    The second thing I was wondering is what *hasn't* been written (utility
wise) for the Amiga?  We have editors all over the place, C compilers (at
least two of them that I know of), an Assembler (is the anything other than
the MMC one?), lot's of hacks (Leo's and others...), and lots of other 
things (SetFont, morerows, ...).  So what would everyone there in net.land
like to see next?  What are the Free/Sharware Guru's doing now?

    Lastly, where can I send to get Fish Disks?  I never seem to be able to 
find the right address.  (just blind, I guess....)

    Inquiring minds want to know :-).  Please reply to me and I will post
pertinent info.  Thanks all, and for the folks who give us the software and 
support (CATS, Matt...etc...) and even bigger THANKS!!!!!

I think the point at which I could legitimately claim to have a copy of
almost everything publically available was passed somewhere in early 1986.
I am sure there is "stuff" floating around out there that I will never
see, or not recognize as new material even if I did stumble over it.

Anyone can get a current catalog of disks (1-80 at the moment) by sending
a preaddressed mailing *label* (no SASE's please) and 4 loose first class
stamps to me at:

	Fred Fish
	1346 W. 10th Place
	Tempe, Arizona  85281

The catalog is about 30 pages doublesided, in small print.
