Thanks amifan, and contributors!

Currently reading through it. I think the only thing that I would change is the filename should include .guide, but that's probably a personal preference more than anything else

Pyromania · 24 December 2021, 18:34

No PDF version?

There are a bunch of options for people who don't have access to an AmigaGuide reader:

UnixGuide converts AmigaGuide to HTML
AGReader is a Unix console AmigaGuide reader.
AGWViewer is a Windows AmigaGuide reader

All of these should work fine. LHA is also available for these platforms, or you can use 7-zip to unpack LHA files.

Pyromania · 24 December 2021, 22:06

Any reader for macOS?

Or even better...use an Amiga!

Well I didn't want to say it but Amigaguide is available for 1.3...

I don't know about current AmigaGuide. I suspect AGReader would compile on OS X but I don't have anything modern enough to try. There were java apps that ran on Tiger through OS 9 but I haven't tried them.

Nice little magazine, I just noticed two problems with it:

(a) clicking Contents button in MultiView is going to an ASCII picture rather than to the table of contents as intended.

(b) "We have some great reviews of hardware and software in our first issue" does not seem to be correct; I could not find any software reviews in the magazine.

Krashan · 26 December 2021, 10:21

Nice Christmas reading. Thanks.

amifan · 26 December 2021, 14:52

Thank you for the comments so far, I will upload an updated one with the contents button working, change the text to reflect the actual content and add the .guide to the file. The next issue should have some more content and a new icon designed by stevelord. It has been a great learning experience doing the first issue, I have a new found respect for others who run a magazine. I hope everyone has had a great Xmas and hopefully we will see you guys for issue 2 at the end of January or early February

MrClump · 27 December 2021, 15:06

I just went to download the first issue, but the download link is throwing an object not found error.

amifan · 27 December 2021, 16:03

Try it now, the link should be working now.

amifan · 27 December 2021, 23:26

Now available on Aminet as well, if you have trouble with the main website

Got it now, have enjoyed reading the reviews. Nit finished yet though.

MrClump · 04 January 2022, 02:11

Finished reading it now, really enjoyed it; especially the tf1260 review as it validated my purchase. ;-)

The review mentioned you had an Indivision AGA MK3, it would be really nice to see a review of that in a future issue.

amifan · 04 January 2022, 02:27

Thank you for the comments, I am glad to hear that you enjoyed it, we have some nice reviews coming up in issue 2 and in issue 3 the Indivison MK3 review is already planned

amifan · 16 January 2022, 10:46

Hi Amifan, I'n not sure if the EAB private messages are sending to you, sent you some text but doesn't seem to work.

amifan · 24 January 2022, 23:56

Hi Invent, yes I got your submission, thank you very much for that, sorry it took me so long to reply. It will be going into the up coming issue
