294.0. "Shared FISH Disks listing" by GLORY::SHIVES () Mon Feb 02 1987 20:34

    
    In an effort to consolidate the Fish Disks listings, I wrote a program
    that took the small descriptions that came through the Usenet (Index
    it was called) and put the information into a file. This along with
    the Datatrieve definitions and a form for easy editing provides
    an easy way to search the Fish Disks for something of interest and
    to also see where the "latest" version of something is.
    
    I will make the file etc. available and will update it periodically
    if anyone else might be interested in this.

294.1	Good work!	SNO78C::METRO_OA		`Tue Feb 03 1987 02:27`	5
	FANTASTIC. Thanks Mark, I'll be in on that! Regards from D.U. Rob
294.2	Me too	PUERTO::ALVAREZ	Miguel,from sunny Puerto Rico	`Tue Feb 03 1987 07:34`	1
	Great. Any ideas when it will be available ?
294.3	Distribution list	GLORY::SHIVES		`Tue Feb 03 1987 12:56`	6
	I'll tell you what. Send me a mail message saying that you would like to be notified when it is available (soon) and for updates, and I'll start a distribution list. Mark
294.4	FISH Disk listing available	GLORY::SHIVES		`Mon Feb 16 1987 12:30`	7
	Just as a general note. The listing is now available. If you would like to be on the distribution list, send me mail. It contains information on all of the FISH disks up to number 53. There is a datatrieve definition for the file as well for ease of searching. Mark
294.5	Update	GLORY::SHIVES		`Wed May 27 1987 17:44`	9
	Just an update for any new Amigans, and to reach the couple of people that I couldn't MAIL to. The shared Fish Disk Listings stored in Datatrieve are now up-to-date at disk number number 74. Have fun, Mark
294.6	The End	GLORY::SHIVES		`Wed Feb 03 1988 14:50`	8
	Due to the large number of additional Fish Disks and a lack of time (I am a software resident and do a lot of work at a customer site), I will be deleting the Fish Listings as of March 1, 1988. Those of you who have copies, I hope that it helped. I am sorry that I couldn't have kept it up-to-date. Mark
294.7	Catalog available from FF himself	BARDIC::RAVAN		`Wed Feb 03 1988 15:36`	9
	In the latest Amazing Computing, there is an article interviewing Fred Fish. He says that you can get a 3.5" disk with the current catalog of FF disks by sending him a request and about 35 cents postage (I assume that's within the 48 states cost). He doesn't ask any extra money for the disk itself, so it sounds like a great deal. regards, -jim
294.8	Fish listing online	TLE::RMEYERS	Randy Meyers	`Wed Feb 03 1988 18:22`	11
	Re: .7 Are you sure that Fish doesn't send you a disk catalogue if you send him 35 cents AND a blank disk? Re: .6 I have kept a up to date listing of all the fish disks. You can find it in TLE""::UPORT$:[RMEYERS.TRADE.AMIGA]FISH.TXT
294.9		WJG::GUINEAU	W. John Guineau, RD Buyout engineering	`Wed Feb 03 1988 18:55`	5
	What about the list in the back of Amazing Computing? Isn't that all the latest FF disks?
294.10	A.C. Fish List Accurate; Maybe not Timely	NAC::PLOUFF	LANsman Wes	`Thu Feb 04 1988 09:46`	12
	Re: -.1 The list of Fish disks in the back of Amazing Computing is accurate, but usually one or two months behind Fred himself. The magazine does a good job considering production time delays it must face. The up-to-the-day list can be found by subscribing to the Usenet comp.sys.amiga newsgroup. Fred Fish posts the contents of each new batch of disks as they are released. An incomplete list is scattered in various notes here. Do a DIR/TITLE="fish". Hmm, maybe it's time to consolidate and update the list.
