Looking through Amazing Computing, I see that almost every second ad is for a product not listed in Abel's product list. A friend of mine also pointed out that Abel's has some products that they are not in the list... So don't take the "367" figure as the number of programs out there for the Amiga. I imagine we're looking at, what, probably 1000 commercial programs for the Amiga, no? Any more-accurate figures, anyone? And we should remember that there is so much high quality PD stuff out there (Emacs, mCad, VDraw, VT100+Kermit, Draco, VD0:, DME, ...). Ali Ozer, ali@rocky.stanford.edu
