I have an Amiga and a CD-ROM drive.  I have seen a lot of interesting CD-ROM 
collections out there, but I don't know if they have ascii text files or not.

I am interested in encyclopedias, quotations, literature, etc, but most of
what I have found along those lines have their files in a format that is only 
usable by either a MAC or a PC.   (yes, I know, I can load them into my PC
emulator and run from there, but that defeats the purpose of having things on
a CD-ROM.  I would much rather use my Amiga.)

Could someone please post a listing of stuff that they have found that either
WILL work on an Amiga (because they have used files from it on an Amiga) or
that has a lot of ASCII text (or perhaps WordPerfect formatted files) that
would make purchase of the disk worthwhile?

Thank you!!
