Cloanto

[Darrin]

The Cloanto package is also a neat way of getting a pretty OS3.9ish system on your Amiga without actually buying OS3.9.

I installed OS3.9 on my A2000 with CV643D, but I wanted the look of the Amiga Forever OS3.x.  I copied it to an Amiga formatted hard drive, removed the P96 installation and replaced it with my CybergraphX v4 software, copied over my CD0: datatype and removed a few Cloanto UAE specific lines from their startup-sequence and User-startup and now my A2000 Workbench looks just like the Amiga Forever one.

Why the hell doesn't the Amikit package come with an installation for a real Amiga (or am I missing something)?

Why would buying OS3.9 be a bad thing? At least you would be rewarding H&P for doing quality Amiga development, not rewarding Cloanto for scumming the Amiga community.

I'm not with you.  I own OS3.9 disks, however, as Piru has pointed out, there is software included on them that H&P apparently had no right to include.

Cloanto is also fully licensed and legal as far as I'm aware (feel free to present evidence to the contrary).  I don't understand your reasoning for attacking them,   :-?
