What I'm looking for is the thirdparty stuff built on AMIX for AMIX. Like the (updated to 2.x, including binutils) GCC toolchain, any net utils, etc etc. We have some on amix.failsure.net but litamiga.epfl.ch was the main repository for all that.
I'm really curious if anyone bothered to expand the Open Look desktop for example with some actually beyond housekeeping apps, or if anyone managed to build an actually working thirdparty windowmanager.
Also, Mosaic.
I had AMIX running on my Amiga 3000 when I was in college as did many other students. Many of them had AMIX running more than AmigaOS as they were rabid UNIX fans. I know for a fact I saw the following:
-I saw Mosaic running. It has been a long time but I am 99% sure of this.
-There was a GUI email client they were running too. I can't for the life of me remember the name. Heck, I was still using elm at the time.
-One of the guys lived off campus and he could dial into the network with slip and get his email which then went into this GUI email client.
-They had complied a lot of builder tools as well. I think they were compiling some basic stuff from NeXT and AUX (we had both labs) but I'm not sure. I know they exchanged files but I can't remember.
-Lastly, I'm pretty sure they had some sort sound player. I remember them playing some Amiga IFFs and some Ren and Stimpy samples. "No sir, I didn't like it" sticks out in my head.
Wish I could be more help. Haven't thought about this in decades. Hope you can recover these files. It would be nice to have them preserved.
-P
