I think it would be a great idea to make a list of available Amiga software,
giving a list of important attributes:  I would like to propose the following
list for consideration:

* Program Name
* Company
* Copy Protection Scheme
* Replacement Policy
* List Price
* Operating System Version(s) under which it will run
* Works on 512K Amiga
* Works With Expansion Ram
* Runs if copied to Ram
* Runs if copied to Hard Disk

Any additions to or deletions from this list? (One thing I would LOVE to
know about a program I am about to buy is whether it will trash my ramdisk
-- my copy of Deluxe Paint does this and frustrates me to no end)

If we can come to agreement on a list, I would be more than happy to
receive and collect letters from folks giving the information about software
they have bought (I bet we could get information on a TON of it...), and then
repost results.

Also, it would probably be good to include approximate purchase date
because different versions of the same program change through time.
