I recently acquired a used AMIGA complete (maybe) with a number
of proprietary and public software packages. The trouble is that
it looks like the previous owner had the system for a while but
did not keep the software up to date. Now I am trying to find out
what the most current releases of the various packages are. Where
can I get a reasonable uptodate listing? How about opening a note
dedicated to announcing or listing current releases, something like
the AMIGA owners directory. Any volunteers to start it off.
I am looking to upgrade TEXTCRAFT, GRAFICRAFT, TRANSFORMER, Aegis
Images, and MUSICRAFT.

I believe musicraft is a dead product .It was out for a very short
time then disappeared . Textcraft,and graphicraft both are put out
by CBM. I got them when I purchased my system have an mailed in my
registration cards no notice so far .

Re .1: I think that the Commodore Representative at the fair held in Marlboro said that Musicraft has undergone a name change (something like Music Works) and will be released the first quarter of 1987. I got the idea that either Musicraft was a product that was very late or a product that had had a very bad first version. (The type of first version where you shoot all the programmers involved and start over.) I could have all this scrambled. I haven't been following music programs for the Amiga. Deluxe Paint taught me that I can't draw; music lessons when I was twelve taught me that I am not musically inclined. | |||||

Musicraft has been taken over by Aegis Development and will be released
as 'SONIX' real soon now.
I have a Beta version of Musicraft (.9 I think) and I thought that
the instrument systhesis was awesome. The musical notation did
not scroll, but this program really made some great sounds, unlike
Music Studio, which I think is an incredible dog. Music Studio
beeps and boops about as bad as my Intellivision did, which merely
proves that the Amiga's oscillators can mimmick an Atari ST if
programmed correctly.

re .3 - the Amiga doesn't have oscillators; all sound generation
is done from wavetables. Mimicking (mimic is the non-gerund form)
an ST is thus no big deal.
