            -=[ UHC TOOLS ]=-

This is a collection of programs and scripts for Amiga computers and their

offsprings to simplify daily usage and make the Amiga more independent.

How to install:

---------------

There are two options to install. Both require an internet connection on

the machine you are installing on:

- First, if you don't have aget or wget on the machine, download aget:

- Then download the installation script and launch it with execute:

- The other option is to download UHCTools.lha which bundles a small

installation script with aget to bootstrap the install:

A changelog can be found here:
