After using an Amiga for many years, I've finally bailed out and gotten an IBM
clone. I've been a professional programmer for the bulk of my career and I
think I know quite a bit about operating systems etc. I like what I see in this
new environment although the learning curve is steeper than Workbench.
I hope the Amiga continues because I have written software for it that I would
like to distribute to other users. It isn't as complete as I would like but is
useable
as is. When I get around to packaging it I'll post it here. I need a low
density
IBM drive that I can probably find where I work. The package is a shared
library
for sorting files (sort.library) and is faster than the ARP utility that
replaces
the Amiga Sort command. Anyway, I'll describe it in more detail in the package
itself.
One thing that's neat in windows is File Manager, something that the Amiga
could
use. No, I don't have time to write something as big as that. Another is
WinCIM.
Of course I'm biased about WinCIM because that's the only online software I've
used.
For those of you using Windows, go to the Main window and look at what's on
the screen on the control panel icon. Does that A look familiar ? Hmmm…
