Directory Opus

Directory Opus, or DOpus as it is more affectionately known is a dual-panelled file manager.

What sets DOpus apart from all its closest 'rivals' is that it is highly customizable. With a little bit of knowledge you can add support for opening any kind of document that you have a player for.

DOpus is much more than just a 'file-opener' though with it you can perform all manner of operations that make file management straightforward and easy. You can copy, delete or rename files and folders from any device you may have setup; that device could be another computer on your local area network or even a remote site via FTP.

Directory Opus can be found on your AmigaOS Installation CD as an optional install.

MindSpace

MindSpace can help you create a wide range of diagrams and drawings. However, its original prime development focus is on the production of MindMaps.

A MindMap is a diagram showing a collection of ideas, themes or keywords. Ideas can be arranged in order or by related groups with lines and arrows showing connections or sequences across the map. Many MindMaps use color and images to reinforce key themes or connections. MindMaps can be used to plan essays, sketch out a presentation, organize a party - just about anything that requires a number of items to be organized, sequenced and then remembered!

MindSpace allows the user to produce:

• Spider Diagrams and Mind Maps
• Flowcharts
• Plans, UML, ER and Use Case diagrams
• Silly little drawings
• Next Generation Amiga Hardware
• Simple DTP and page layout stuff
