Fred Fish issued a letter on the nets awhile back asking that
companies who are duplicating his collection on CDROM to please stop
immediately. If a bunch of people are duplicating his CD's without
some kind of royalty going to Fred, then there is not much incentive
for him to continue his efforts. I support his position and urge
people to NOT purchase any other Fred Fish collection on CDROM unless
he has OK'd it himself. Fred deserves the royalties for the work he
has put into the collection, for without his efforts I'm sure the
Amiga PD scene would not be as great as it is today. Just my 2 cents
<g>.
as I understood it, the quoted addresses are the official distributors
of Fish CD-ROMS in Germany.

The CDROMS contain the archived and unarchived versions of a disk.
Wait until the first half of April for the release of the GoldFish.
It contains all 1000 Fred Fish disks. It's a 2 disk set. You don't
need DMS.
