Re: [Download] Sneak Prevue Software

Off the bat - I believe the Sneak Prevue binary is the file called "vd". It's probably compressed like ESQ. I don't remember how we decompressed that one (I think perhaps it was PowerPack 4.0-encoded). Would love any help in popping it open! Also, I haven't been able to get the software wo...

Re: Since when did Pop still have scrolling listings?

Re: Stay tuned... there are more Prevues to come.

Some updates on this... I was able to dump the disks! I should be able to post them very soon. Some notes: I actually have two copies (two main system disks and two data disks) from different cable systems Unfortunately, I think my Amiga's floppy drive went bad, and all of the disks seem to be damag...
