CONTENTS

    Aminet CD 8 contains over 1 gigabyte of freely distributable software.
    The newest file included is dated September 8th. Besides the new
    software, the CD concentrates on music modules. The space is used
    as follows (after decompression):

      620M of software newer than Aminet CD 7
      450M of images
       50M of top downloads

    These consist of:

      1900 mods    (800 of them multichannel)
      1100 tools
       160 pictures
       140 games
       100 demos

    The modules were collected from various sources besides Aminet, and
    will shop up on Aminet eventually.

    Amigaguide based user interface, allows easy unpacking and viewing 
    using a single mouse click.

    Extensive search facilities. Finds words in descriptions or readmes,
