Due to the new availability of hard disks and hard disk solutions available for the Atari and due to the newcomers to our platform a new site is launched today. Its aim is to provide a collection of useful software, neatly arranged in folders and all, that you can decompress in your Atari's hardrive and be ready to go. So visit http://morethangames.dbug-automation.co.uk ;
and download the big zip file.
Many thanks must go to D-Bug for hosting this site. I hope you enjoy this collection. Please post your comments, suggestions, criticism etc.
Thank you.

Very handy.. Good idea

Nice Xmas Pressie along with all the latest patches too

OK, I'll kill the clock app.
About teradesk. It didn't display any font problems during testing.. I'll look into it together with the update to the new version.
About the patched games, it's not just teradesk that will cause problems. But also many of the autofolder stuff. As always, games are best run with clean boot but you already know that .
I'm on it (ala d-bug fast bugfixing)

christos:
I've seen your new website. The idea is very good I think. I've seen one cool project for amiga: http://classicwb.abime.net/
which is similar to your own..

I have one suggestion to the pack, I think that there should be two versions of packages: for ST range and TT/falcon (for example I've seen in the pack smurf which will not run on st (as far I know), so it is useless for STs so why to include it?).
I would be cool to add system patches from atari (it could be in several external files). Things like poolfix.prg, patches for TOS 1.6(saving desktop in medrez wasn't working) etc..
Mono emulator like Sebra is missing.. There is no HSMODEM 0.7 (which replaces  buggy system routines for serial port)...
The software that could be added are all those decent gfx, msx program already present on dhs website (players, editors, gfx , coding tools). Also adding freeVDI would be cool and file selectors(freedom, boxkite(it's free now) or selectric)...
It was just few thoughts 

Hi Saulot, many thanks for the input and the links .

The idea to make two different packs is a good one, though not without it's problems. For example you mention fixes.. so we have some fixes for ST, STE, TT, Falcon. This makes 4 packs already. I guess I could just add a patchest, patcheste, patchTT etc. And then expand it to additions. Falcon only, STe only etc..

BTW, I had no idea about the classicwb site being a software pack (I thought it was somekind of hacked workbench ). My idea was born from linux distros..

On your other notes, smurf works fine on ST (just tested it on steem) but the mono emulator is indeed something missing as a lot of other stuff. I'd also like a nicer fileselector like boxkite but it caused me a lot of problems during the testing phase on STEEM so I went for UIS. But I'll give it another go. And indeed I am on the hunt for a free boot manager. Oh, hsmodem isn't there since I included fserial.. Which reminds me, I should do a transfer disk with stzip, fserial and ghostlink..

Also stay tuned because more stuff are on the pipeline. Thanks all for the kind words and comments.

Heh cool! I really hope people use it

Well I have start it from an st format cover disk but I remember it wasn't usable on the falcon (or I was a lamer). I have xboot and never looked back.. Anyway, will definitely give it another shot.

And your friend, this is the right place . The best atari st game site! More stuff to follow

Thanks for the suggestion. But I guess it won't be so easy to find

No problem! Added and tested now. Works perfectly . Thanks

Seems like the update will go up very soon!
