Is there a review ?

There have been 2 reviews of PFS2.

  1. Amiga Plus November 1998 reviewed it and gave it 91%.
  2. Amiga Magazin October 1998 reviewed it and gave it 87%.

I have not seen the text of these reviews...

Reviews of AFS are available from AmiNet and comp.sys.Amiga.reviews :-

    AmiFileSafe.txt     docs/rview  16K  REVIEW: Ami-File-Safe file system
    AmiFileSafe_2.txt   docs/rview   7K  FOLLOW-UP: Ami-File-Safe file system

The September 1995 CU/Amiga did a two-page review and Amiga Computing has a review in their October 1995 issue.  There may be others.

Since AFS evolved so fast magazine reviewers looked at a product more than four months before an issue got published.  Most of the limitations found by reviewers have already been addressed.  Having said that, their reviews gave AFS pretty good marks !

Remember, also, that AFS has been improved to generate PFS-2.
