Must have amiga utilities??
« on: February 06, 2003, 09:27:02 PM »
I have a A3000 with graphics card and mediator. I was wondering if any of you can recomend some must have utilities for use with OS3.9. I am using P96 for my RTG display and have a CSMKIII 060 with 128MB of RAM. Posting using it in fact with the new Ibrowse.

PageStream, if you're into DTP.

DrawStudio for vector drawing.

And any of half a dozen decent image processing packages.

I don't like ViNCEd (the shell/console shipped with OS3.9) so I'd recommend KingCON.
Visage is a good image-viewer.
HippoPlayer if you want to listen to modules.
A good port or clone of "ls" always comes in handy.

If you want a do-all system patcher/improver I'd have to say MCP (Master Control Program). I've been using it since 1996 and I couldn't live without it.

Although not a utility MUI3.8  is a must, IMHO.

MCP supports anticlick as well. Does PowerSnap work with high-res screens (like 1024x768)? I have not been succesfull using it with small fonts in high resolution (small fonts=XHelvetica/13) but I'd sure like to use it again since it rules :-)

@AmigaPete

I used Dopus4 for years before 5.x then Magellan came out. I had it tricked out to the max and it was great. However, when 5.x came out then Magellan I moved on. I can assure you that Dopus4 as great as it is and can be, cannot even be mentioned in the same breath as Magellan.

Magellan blows it away and is miles ahead of Dopus4's capabilities. The only people that I have met that do not like Magellan either have bog standard low spec computers, or simply cannot figure out how to configure it. If you have a decent spec'd computer and configure Magellan it''s capabilities will blow your mind. It leaves Dopus4 so far behind it's pathetic. I moved on and have never regretted that decesion. Magellan kicks ass, and you can configure it to do absolutely anything that you want it to do. There is nothing even close to it on any platform, and sadly Opus6.x for the PC doesn't even compare. The PC version is very powerful and blows Windows Explorer, Wndows Commander, System Commander, both of which are very similar to Dopus4 away.

However, it is best suited for a power user really, because of the tweaking and confuguring it requires. It is nice though, but still Magellan on the Amiga kicks it ass as well!

regards,
When you open Windows... you let in bugs!

Hi Acill,

I've found SnoopDOS and Scout are always handy.

:-? I can't believe nobody has already recomended Magic Menu.  It's useful.
