Hi,
 
After seeing all of Amos becoming public domain, even with the source code becoming available I would like to see some other vendors of Amiga software to do the same approach on software they no longer sell or update for the past 10 years.
 
Eg  Deluxe Paint V, Vista Professional (landscape generator).
 
What other software would you like to see become public domain or freely available.  
 
With Deluxe Paint V we should write an email to EA and see if this can be done?



DynaCadd 3 from CRP Koruk
CNCTool to convert data from DynaCadd's 3d parts into CNC files (lathing, milling, drilling)
NewIO
LogicWorks
Digital Workbench
MathAmation (incl. all modules) by Progressive Peripherals
A&O v3.1
AmiGAL v1.0
AmiBURN v1.0
L100
ProNET / ProBOARD 2.0a
PLP V.2 by Maxon
All the best,

Dandy

What the hell is this stuff?  Seriously, I've never heard of it.



 :D
O.K. - I try to explain:

- DynaCadd is the best CAD application the Amiga ever had. It is the only one on the Amiga capable of real 3d mode, AFAIK. DynaCadd
 
- CNCTool is a tool to convert data from e.g. DynaCadd's 3d part drawings into CNC files (for lathing, milling, drilling)

- MathAmation (incl. all modules) by Progressive Peripherals was an advanced math program and function plotter with modules for mechanical engineering, physics, electric engineering, mercantile calculations, ...  MathAmation


- NewIO is a PCB layout program with autorouting feature.  NewIO 3.5 - page 3 - sorry - German only

- about LogicWorks - an early version of it was available for the Amiga back in the late 80s/early 90s.

- Digital Workbench was a program to develop digital schematics

- A&O v3.1, AmiGAL v1.0, AmiBURN v1.0, L100, ProNET / ProBOARD 2.0a and PLP V.2 by Maxon were all programs for the Amiga to design electronics. Described here in an "Amiga Spezial" training course of 1993 (page 3 onwards) - sorry - German only.
All the best,

Dandy
