I'm going to have to take another look at Amaya. You've prompted me
to head off to the website and download the Windows binary (sadly I'm
stuck on a Windows box due to a combination of two Maxtor HD failures -
not my favourite brand anymore - and a lack of any decent grub
documentation). I'll put it on my Linux box when I've recovered it!

I think the last time I ran it was at the 0.9x and maybe 1.x version, so
that's - scarily - around 8 to 10 years ago now. It has to be going back
a bit because I remember running it on OS/2. Now where's my walking
stick? ;)
