Which classic software on os4?

Classic Amigas have plenty of software.
But 20 years later, which classic software (excluding games) it's worth to be used on os4?
Thx!

@rebraist

I use Turbocalc a lot.
Turboprint is also very useful.

@rebraist

The answer is everything that you need and for which there is no OS4 native program.

@rebraist

I find myself using very little classic (68K-only) software. First, many programs already have a native OS4 alternative, and second, quite often the old Amiga software doesn't support modern formats or technologies, which renders it pretty much useless.

Hi,

I still use FinalWriter97, TurboCalc, ImageFX 4.5 and
PicView since we haven't seen native replacements.

One day I hope to switch to LibreOffice and Sketchblock.
;)

I still use the 68k version of Pagestream4 since the dev
has been too busy playing with his ducks and rats to
work on fixing the native versions I paid for. :(

c'est la vie,

TurboCalc, Microdot-II (I've been hoping to ditch this for about ten years, it's getting increasingly flaky), Photogenics. That's everything 68k I use regularly. I also use Wordworth and PageStream 5 (although I might be using an OS4 native version of that, I can't actually remember).

There's probably some smaller stuff I use too, when I need it.

You can say that again! When was it when I paid for OS4-native PageStream 5, 2004? And what has he delivered, a couple of alpha versions unashamedly sold as releases? I really regret having talked a publisher friend into buying PgS for Windows, for he has hated me ever since

@rebraist

Wordworth 7, Digita Money Matters, Digita organiser, Image FX, Golded/Cubic, Turbocalc, Mahjongg Tiles.

These are ones I use more or less daily. There are others too, some a bit flakey but just useable such as Draw Studio.

* Art Effect 3 or 4 (the best paint program for the Amiga)
* MakeCD (really powerful if you know what you're doing)
* TextView (a really awesome text viewer, but latest version has annoying shareware reminder, lucky I have an older version, doubt it can be registered now)
* CyberShow (good picture viewer)
* AmIRC
* Wordworth 6 or 7 (7 is much more buggy but has some nice features)
* DeliTracker (handles nearly every MOD format known to man or beast)
* ASp (the BEST spectrum emulator, sorry Chris Y)
* MP3TagEditor (really powerful yet also very easy to use)
* SoundBox (note entirely compatible (no sound playback) but still really great for converting sound formats)
* Photogenics
* Term (for serial debugging)
* FDiff (very handy shell utility)
* Scout (brilliant system utility)
* GetModeID (simple utility)
* SCSI List (useful utility, works well with SATA/etc)
* StackSnoop (although I wrote my own clone using PortablE)
* A-Lock (amazingly still works great)
* ClipHistory (just awesome commodity, always have it running)

And probably many more that I forgot.

AmiBlitz would be the main one for me, along with various tools I've written in AmiBlitz (SMBMounter etc.)

Also use PersonalPaint regularly and occasionally Cinema4D. There are a few others I'm sure but I wouldn't use them very much...

Forgot about that. It's really stable too, unlike Frying Pan. Shame it doesn't handle DVDs.

SoundFX I use occasionally. It's great for cutting down samples, and I'm sure it would be great for other stuff too if I understood what all the options meant. I can sort of clean the buzz off old samples, but that's about my limit.

Not sure why you're apologising - it's the one I always use! I worked with Ian (or, more accurately, beta tested for Ian) to get it compatible with OS4 and Petunia, and have bugged him over the years for other features too. It's another one that should have been on my list.

I guess you're referring to my port of FUSE. Well, there's a reason why I haven't updated that.
