Short: LOON Docs Disks - Index guide Author: Various Authors Uploader: mrodfr gmail com (mrodfr) Type: game/hint Version: 1.0 Architecture: generic Distribution: Aminet AN ADVICE: --------- Reduce your CO2. Drive a more smaller car (and no 4x4), please. THIS SPECIAL ARCHIVE: -------------------- This special archive is a main drawer with one alphabetical guide I have made for all the 12 LOON disks archive. If you decompress this archive first and after all 12 LOON Docs Disks archive inside, all drawers will be in good place on the WB window. Additionally, the guide is made internally with LOON1-LOON2,... name for the subdrawers that mean if you rename a subdrawer, the main guide stop working. INTRODUCTION: ------------ During the past, Docs Disks have been made by differents amiga groups. Most of them contain manuals for commercial games, programs or even books. Unfortunately, most docs disks are floppy disk with assembly menu that don't work on high end amiga with big processors or graphic cards and often text files are crunched. THE WORK: -------- I have spent some of my available free time to: - Collect the floppy disks archive (planetemu, hipoonios TOSEC site). - Decompress all disk (voodooX). - Decompress files (opus4+xfd) - Rename some of the files (example first 20 disks of LSD Docs disks). - Change some names or extension (multiren). - Create a frontend in amigaguide format for each disk and a general frontend (d2g). - rework the guide (cubic-IDE). - Archive all (lha). - All must work on all computer now. THE GOAL: -------- The first goal was to kept the exact contend of the original disks. Hope now if someone search after a manual for one of his old game now installed with whdload, this person had now a chance to found the requested file with this work. The personnal goal for me was also to help whdload team members for easily found a manual for an old or new whdload install. All are allowed to take this work and use for their projects on internet. THANKS TO: --------- - Daniel Rangel for his mail support. - pbareges for his forum support. - Members of the WHDLOAD Mailing List. - TOSEC for their great work. - Hipoonios for his great site with all TOSEC disks available. visit the following link: http://www.hipooniosamigasite.org/ SPECIAL THANKS TO: ----------------- --> Codetapper <-- I have received a verry special and verry good feedback from Codetapper about previous disks to amigaguide and for this Loon disks to amigaguide. As LOON disks was compacted with a special cruncher, he has updated his own XFD LOON decruncher to support all files in LOON Disks. He kindly provide to me the updated XFD LOON decruncher for decrunching all the LOON files. Without his help, It was impossible to create this LOON to Amigaguide DOCS disks. Thanks a lot again Codetapper for your help :-) It's with help and feedback like this one I would like to do some more DOCS DISKS to AMIGAGUIDE Format (see: the FUTUR). ALLREADY MADE: ------------- LSD and SPRINT DOCS DISKS. THE FUTUR: --------- SCIENCE 451+RYGAR, MA, GAME DOCS DISKS from Postman Man will be my last work for this idea. mrodfr - 25/12/06.
