COMP.SYS.AMIGA.REVIEWS ARCHIVES
===============================
This document was last modified on February 7, 1994.
Welcome to the comp.sys.amiga.reviews archives at math.uh.edu! In
these archives, you will find several hundred reviews of products related to
the Commodore Amiga computer, written by volunteers around the world.
These archives are maintained by Daniel Barrett, the moderator of
the USENET newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.reviews. (See addresses at the bottom
of this file.) The archives were reorganized in November 1993, so things
may look a little different if you have used them before.
Every directory in these archives contains a file called "00-README"
which explains the contents of that directory. (Note that this filename
begins with two ZEROES, not the capital letter 'O'. This is done so this
filename is always the first one displayed in any directory.)
This main directory contains:
00-README This file.
README A copy of the 00-README file.
Index An index of all reviewed products and
administrative documents.
hardware Directory containing hardware reviews.
software Directory containing software reviews.
other-reviews Directory containing other reviews (books, shows,
vendors, etc.).
all A directory containing copies of ALL reviews from the
hardware, software, and other-reviews directories.
If you know the names of all the review files you
want, you can download them conveniently from this
directory instead of searching through the
"hardware", "software" and "other-reviews"
directories.
doc Directory containing administrative documents, such
as the "Introduction" article, review writer
guidelines, group charter, etc.
new Directory containing lists of new files this month.
priv Private directory.
reviews.tar.gz A single, compressed file containing the entire
review archive, minus the "new", "priv", and "all"
directories. This file is in UNIX tar format,
compressed with GNU Zip. It is primarily for Fred
Fish and others who wish to download the entire
archive from time to time. This file is updated
once per day.
To unarchive this file, "cd" to the destination
directory and type:
gunzip reviews.tar.gz | tar xvf -
All files are plain text with no compression.
IMPORTANT: Please remember that the review archives began long ago,
so a review might not represent the current version or state of the
product. It is even possible that the product may not be available any more.
So PLEASE look at the REVIEW DATE, and the PRODUCT VERSION NUMBER, to see
how current the review is.
