Wow! Jackpot! Thanks takemehomegrandma! I've never seen this list before. Can't wait to start trying them out on MOS3. :razz:

ADF is just a "carrier", a great deal of 68k SW works, including office apps, etc.
 
Here is a list of some SW (both PPC and 68k) that I guess has been tested:

Most require a manual install I guess (and some needs some "tweaking"), but that's always the best anyway...

Krashan, I tried your method of mounting adf files and it works just fine. Unfortunately the two downloads I have tried so far, just testing, didn't work (PageStream old version 2.4X and SimEarth). I will keep trying with others. Thanks again for your help.


I have mounted an ADF of PageStream 3.2 and now I have four images of disk mounted, but when I run the Install- PageStream file nothing happens. Any hints or advice?

Could be it is trying to run Installer from wrong location. You can run Snoopium from Tools to check it out (it is similar to SnoopDos).

I have the images of 4 mounted disks. Disk 1 of 4 has a file called "Install-PageStream3." Then when I select All Files, there is another Installer which pops up a script window, so that one doesn't work either.

Then it might be helpful to go through the *categories* instead of the mega-list directly:

@WeiXing3D

IMHO, it's very difficult to give any direct advice based on the limited info you have written above. Don't even have the files you have, so can't check it up.

Maybe it's like itix say, that it's trying to run installer from wrong location? That's a pretty common thing. Snoopium is a great tool for finding out stuff like this. Try it! :)

Anyway, personally I prefer installing manually anyway, since install scripts not seldom makes strange assumptions etc that can f!ck up your system in the end. Better to have control yourself IMHO. What the install scripts does basically, is to copy files from one location to another, which you can do yourself. Having a look at the install script in a text editor/viewer will show you exactly what it does, and you might have to/want to "translate" the destination etc etc into your own MorphOS context. Usually this is very simple though, and quite often it's simply enough to copy all the contents into the same application folder on your HDD. Then if the app is not working/starting up properly when you try it, then Snoopium will tell you *what* the application is looking for, *where* it is looking for it, etc, and then you can move stuff accordingly until the application is happy and there are no more errors! :)

It sounds very tricky, then. Sounds like install script doesnt like being installed from an ADF. I have never used PageStream so I dont know how difficult installing it by hand could be.

Can you check what is Default Tool defined for Install-PageStream3 file? You can find it from Information window (right mouse click on an icon and Information).

Is a mounted ADF different from other volumes?
