CONTENTS

    Aminet CD 7 contains over 1 gigabyte of freely distributable software.
    The newest file included is dated June 26th. Besides the the new 
    software, the CD concentrates on pictures and clip art. The space on 
    the CD is used as follows:

      650M of software newer than Aminet CD 6
      350M of images
       50M of top downloads

    These consist of:
      1500 pictures   (+7700 clip art images in large archives)
      1250 tools
       380 mods
       130 games
        70 demos

    The pictures were collected from various sources besides Aminet, and
    will show up on Aminet eventually.


ACCESS SOFTWARE

    Amigaguide based user interface, allows easy unpacking and viewing 
    using a single mouse click.

    Extensive search facilities. Finds words in descriptions or readmes,
    and outputs matches as an index that allows direct viewing.

    New access features for the following categories of files:

    - Images: All .jpg images can now be converted to IFF using a single
      mouse click. There is also a simple batch conversion facility.

    - Clip art: The clip art images on the CD are organized in large
      archives but can be displayed individually. The clip art has
      meaningful names and sometimes comments. Clip art can be viewed
      using thumbnails, slide shows or descriptions. There is also a
      textual search facility for the clip art.

    - Software changes: The 'Find' program can search for several 
      words at a time now, PicZoo has comments for many pics and
      runs on gfx boards (at least with clip art). And of course
      various bug fixes.
