Directory Opus 2
Does anyone have a copy of Directory Opus 2? I can't find it anywhere and have been looking for several years.
I used it back in the early 90's to make a floppy up with Opus 2, Cygnus Ed Pro, Powerpacker and other stuff before I had a hard drive. I originally got it off a utilities compilation disk so it may be still out there somewhere. It was better suited to use on a floppy because of its smaller file-size, if anyone comes across it let me know please. |

Nostalgia has come flooding back and got me wanting to recreate that floppy disk I made up in the early 90's. I found it indispensable at the time and used it every day, it would still be quite useful on a system without hard drive or had a hard drive that wouldn't boot for some reason.
I really regret getting rid of my Amiga stuff at the end of the 90's, it won't happen again! |

I had such bootdisk too, what i can remember: diskmaster, snoopdos, powerpacker,viewtek, dmouse
and some more. ) one was a tiny tool, which replaced the topaz standard font, with some special non-standard fonts, which were included. but i cannot remember the name of this tool - was a small cli command :/ Last edited by emufan; 03 July 2016 at 23:03. |

Yeah, I have problems too sometimes with trying to remember the name of stuff I used in the early days. It's a rare thing to just drop on them too these days, you can spend years looking without luck.

I made my own utility discs as well back in the day with the better apps, such as Dopus 4, Xcopy Pro, CygnusED, Powerpacker etc... was a great way of learning CLI commands, keymaps etc IIRC, I got to version 4.1 which was sought after by all my mates. I did start putting together a v5 but it was going to spill onto 2 discs.....
Dont have a copy of any of them anymore |
