- Introduction
-
- Welcome to the Amiga Freely Redistributable Library. The library
- was started by Fred Fish in November 1985, shortly after the
- release of the Amiga 1000, and has continued to grow and flourish
- since then, thanks to the generous contributions of innumerable
- Amiga users.
-
- With the release of disk 1000 in April 1994, Fred Fish will no
- longer be directly involved in the selection or organization of
- material for the floppy library, and instead will be concentrating
- on CD-ROM distributions. It is expected that responsibility for
- continuing floppy distributions, using material from the released
- CD-ROM's, will be officially transfered to another party willing
- to take on that chore.
-
- Files on this disk that you may wish to read include:
-
- Contents: A listing of the contents of this particular disk.
- Distribution: Information about distribution status of library.
- Catalog: How to obtain a catalog of the entire library.
- Orders: How to order other disks from the library.
- Submissions: How to submit material for inclusion in the library.
-
- What's Available
-
- There are useful tools, games, programming examples, editors,
- compilers for various languages, demos of commercial products,
- and other odds and ends.
-
- Guarantee
-
- There is no guarantee as to the performance or usability of any
- of the materials in this library. In general, most suppliers will
- replace or rewrite, at no additional charge, any disk ordered
- directly from them, which turns out to be defective or unreadable.
- Given the nature of this library, you should not expect anyone
- to assume any liability for the results of using anything from
- this library.
-
- Notes
-
- Please keep in mind that most of the materials in this library
- are intended for use by experienced programmers, or at least
- experienced Amiga users. Many are runnable only via the CLI user
- interface, as they contain no icon files (particularly the early
- disks, before about disk number 90). If you are inexperienced with
- the Amiga CLI interface, you may need the assistance of an
- experienced user to make use of some of these disks. I do not
- provide telephone support for instructions on how to run specific
- programs from the library.
-
- Starting with disk 421, library disk construction was moved to
- WorkBench 2.0, and all submissions were tested under the latest
- developers version available at the time the disk was finalized.
- One side effect of this move, is that various icons may look
- rather strange under WorkBench 1.3 due to the improved graphical
- interface of 2.0.
