This calls up an AmigaGuide document with details on every file on the disc. Archives can be extracted to RAM: or any other writeable disk you may have connected. Here's some of the highlights. Don't Miss Aminet 8 The next CD in the Aminet series is due for release any day now. Aminet 8 is an essential purchase for all CD-ROM users, and is packed full of all the latest software from the Aminet archive. Make sure you don't miss out! Unarchiving The Files Moat of the files on the CD are archived with the populer compression system LHA. The AmigaGuide indexes have automatic archive decompression built in. Making it simple for you to access the files without messing around with the Shell. To decompress an archived group of files, open up one of the indexes, click on the highlighted text until you reach the lists of the archives. Now just click once on the name of the archive you want to decompress. The default destination for the unarchived files is the RAM: disk, and if you're happy with this, click on OK, otherwise you can change RAM: to the device of your choice. Depending on the nature of the archives, they made need to be copied to floppy disks or installed to a hard drive. Check the documents in the archive to find out. If you run into an error during the unarchiving process, use the Prefs tool on the CD to make sure that the unarchiving tools and destinations are set correctly. If you still have problems, read the Trouble Shooting guide. Alternatively, copy the LHA file from the Tools drawer on the CD to the sys:c drawer of your hard drive and extract the file manually using LHA. CU Amiga Magazine goodies When you click on the icon for this month's cover CD, the window that appears will have several directories in it. Most of these are the standard drawers present on any Aminet CD but one drawer will be represented by an Icon with the CU Amiga Magazine logo. The drawer is called 'Magazine'. Opening up this drawer will show what goodies we added to the Aminet CD including AudioMaster IV and the extra files for PageStream 2.2 (last month's cover disk). Inside the drawer called 'Game_Demos' resides a selection of game demonstrations. Most of these can be activated by simply clicking on the relevant icon. Alien Breed 3D and Virtual Karting can be run this way. The H fceefep n.DMS file needs to be unarchived, though. This will need to be done via the AmigaDOS shell with the DMS utility found elsewhere on the cover CD.
