August 2, 1999 - Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever 3.0 at World of Amiga

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."

At the same time as Amiga Forever 3.0 was presented, Amiga announced its new
plans for future Amiga systems, which will be based on hardware and
operating system technology incompatible with current systems, and which is
scheduled to use software emulation to run current Amiga applications.

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.

The CD version of Amiga Forever 3.0 additionally 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.
