Re: Boing, Polyscope, etc. Demos as ADF files?

Hi,

You need to Google harder!  :-)

The Juggler ADF at least is available here (click the disk icon rather than the LHA link).

With most of these old demos, it's easy enough to make a bootable ADF image if you've got the files separately or as an LHA archive:
1. Format a blank disk as OFS
2. Make it bootable ("install df0:" from the CLI)
3. Extract (if required) and copy the demo file(s) to the disk
4. Create an "S" directory on the disk
5. Create a "startup-sequence" file in the "S" directory that contains "sys:" where "" is the filename that starts the demo running

Then boot from the disk. Sometimes, some demos require libraries, etc, from a Workbench disk. In this case, make a note of that the demo says if it fails to start and copy the required files over to your bootable disk. Libraries need to go into a "Libs" directory and commands need to go into a "C" directory.
