And that is probably why almost everyone used it. That's why I would have started.
I picked up a lot of programs from FF disks back in the day... And BBSes, which I am guessing got a lot of their programs from FF disks. I do seem to remember a progression (might be faulty memory tho) of arc to zoo to lha...??? Looks like it: Quote:
Do I remember correctly (probably not) that the the first version of PKZip for the Amiga was GUI only???? Or is that another bad memory? Time!! ;-) Last edited by desiv; 25 October 2018 at 01:18. |
