*** Amiga Forever 3.0 Released -  Includes 3.1 ROM and OS - Upgrades Available ***

Cloanto launched the latest version of its award winning Amiga Forever
package at the World of Amiga '99 show in London last weekend. The software
is now available on a cross-platform CD-ROM and as a downloadable Online
Edition for Windows. Amiga Forever contains a complete and ready-to-use
emulation solution to run Amiga software under Windows, Linux and other
systems, and a suite of Amiga utility and cross-platform data sharing
applications.

"Since 1997, Amiga Forever has been delivering compatibility and stability
to a loyal community of users troubled by aging Amiga hardware and an
uncertain future," said Cloanto president Michael C. Battilana. "Amiga
Forever has kept Amiga emulation legal and accepted by the Amiga companies,
allowing it to prosper to a point where it is now ready for implementation
in the next generation of Amiga systems."

For Amiga Forever 3.0 Cloanto extended its license, which covers all Amiga
patents, trademarks and copyrights, to include version 3.1 of the Amiga ROM
and operating system. This version of the Amiga ROM represents the end of
the line of the "Classic Amiga", and will be required by future OS
revisions, such as version 3.5, which may be released before the
introduction of the new generation of Amiga systems.

A downloadable Amiga Forever 3.0 upgrades is now available online for only
$14.99. It can be applied to both the Amiga Forever 2.0 CD-ROM and the
Online Edition, and does not cause any loss of data in existing Amiga
configurations. The size of the downloadable file is less than 5 MB. The
upgrade installs the new items of Amiga Forever 3.0:

- Amiga 3.1 ROM and OS files (the last ROM that will
  ever be available for the "Classic Amiga"!)
- Amiga Explorer 3.02 (client and server)
- Personal Paint 7.1b
- TurboText (exclusive latest version with
  stack problem fix)
- More than a dozen preinstalled add-ons
  (drag-and-drop LhA, ToolManager, etc.)
- Latest version of WinUAE tested by Cloanto

The latest version of the emulation software includes experimental support
for AGA display and MIDI output. The CD-ROM version of Amiga Forever 3.0
additionally contains a StuffIt archive with a complete, preconfigured
PowerMac configuration of the Amiga emulation environment.

Because of the exceptional price at which we are offering version 3.1 of the
Amiga OS, we have been asked to make sure that the ROMs that we distribute
can be used only on emulated Amiga systems. We did this in a way that does
not affect software compatibility, and which works with all versions of UAE
and Fellow released after October 1997 (when a special ROM encoding was
introduced for Amiga Forever).

The CD version of Amiga Forever 3.0 also contains audio tracks with an
exclusive interview with the late Jay Miner, "Father of the Amiga", and a
complete collection of Amiga ROMs and operating systems released since 1985,
starting from version 1.0.
