minet is the Amiga-specific side to the Internet. Some bright spark out there decided that all the best share• sere programs, graphics, sounds, samples area the other mass of material gust sitting ewe in cyberspace deserved an official anwase as a set of four CDs at a very reasonam once. It has to be said, the end result LS rarer impressive. Armnet Set 1 is the culmination of this idea, asnwig in a satisfyingly chunky box with four elver discs sitting inconspicuously in their mots, Amiga delights bursting from each 7oove. For people worried about value for •roney, there's no need to - for the hungry, neigh greedy user, there are four megabytes at data here to be pillaged, abused and used. With 12,500 separate archives, you're not 'ping to be bored with this for quite some So what exactly is the whole collection - -answer in one page - there's that much on a:fter. Paint programs, sound modules, rayi- da :reators, 3D objects, icon replacements, e canimbrushes, games (both shareware and ue •=nmercial demos). drivers for hardware, p d xmmunications progs such as envoy net- og work software. SaarAG and Fish disks, develcement software and more and more and fr - ? a " Aar downloads so you can access the good Tp oguff immediately - there's something here for everyone h r ai SEARCHING e tc . 's This amount of tiles may sound daunting to P cxunder s . through, but the cpmpilers have also l come as up with an excellent system for finding out u n p exactly what you want. On each disk is a full s ir index for both the particular CD in your drive , me and a global index listing everything on the t four discs. pa h od To make things even simpler, there is a local e and global search system where you s enter r a key word such as Imagine and the sh computer e subsequently hunts through the ie catalogue a quickly, presenting you with a rundown be r of any files that are connected. On one Side, lt there's an archived file and on the other e is e s a description of that particular file. c q, With some compilation discs you may well h get us a huge amount of data to surf through, a but et there's invariably hair pulling as the nght r viewers se need to be set up and assigns fiddled with t r to make many of the programs work, And s ie here is another strength of the Aminet discs. o o f n g The system has been set up so various viewers t and other facilities that aid in the tr h oa e m Make5 5P115P o Another s enticing aspect of this collection t is that once you've spent the cash, it's p going to be cheaper in the long term than o downloading all the stuff from the Internet. No enflamed phone bills, dodgy p phone lines or slow loading because of - spooling large amounts of graphics for viewing. Indeed, this collection makes perfect economic sense at only C29.99.

In most cases, when you select the file you want a menu appears offering 1 to edher run/show the file there and then or extract it to RAM. More u toften than not the system works surprisingly well and quickly. Run an animation, flick tacross e to a game and then extract a file into RAM that can be used in Imagine as an object r - lthis kind of versatility is satisfying and relatively hassle tree, leaving you to enjoy the goods y on offer. It has to be said, though. that there are limes when things don't go to plan - the pcomputer crashes or the file you have selected consistently fails to load up or extract. a In fairness to the collection, a substantial part rof this data is shareware and public domain, so there has to be a certain amount of leeway k granted to the compilers for any small glitches - PD and shareware material doesn't e receive the play testing that most commercial software gets, so expect some oversights, d mistakes or bugs. In some cases, using a file manager such as Directory Opus can help sort any cumbersome files.
