Can anyone recommend a somewhat extensive "Guide to Amiga sharaware/ freeware" that may have been published recently in any of the British or American Amiga magazines? I've been on the internet for some years but for various reasons, really didn't start downloading a lot until recently. For instance, right now I'm looking for a reasonable text editor, a better AmigaGuide reader, etc., and it occurred to me that the Amiga community could use an organized guide to the programs on Aminet...not just the author's desciption of features, but some- thing that put the better programs in a given category head-to-head in terms of features, stability, support, etc. (FYI, I've gone through about half of Aminet's disk directory browsers and am currently using Ordering, although even it has given me some grief. I have yet to try the MUI programs, the very oldest programs, and some of the largest programs in this category, but I'll get to them at some point.) Is such a guide available somewhere? Is anyone interested in writing a shareware/freeware column for Amiga Report? ;-) Does anyone think this is a good idea?? I'd be happy to publish my directory utility findings whenever I feel they're conclusive, but that may take a while. Thanks, Todd taoberly@delphi.com
