FTP Archive Restrictions

The Official Cthugha FTP archive is maintained on a non-for-profit system with many users, so there are strict limits enforced. No more than a maximum of 25 anonymous FTP connections are allowed at one time for the entire site (which includes other material besides Cthugha, amazingly enough). If you get an error attempting to access anything in "ftp.afn.org" then chances are it's too busy. You can either wait a while and try again, or try a mirror site.

Thank you for your patience! :)

Current Releases

The most current versions of CTHUGHA released to the public are:

• DOS & Windows 3.1 - Version 5.3 - As of 6/27/95
• Windows95 - Beta Release 6 - As of 10/26/98
• Linux - Version 1.3 - As of 10/26/98
• MacOS - Version 1.0 - As of 5/13/97
• XFree-DGA - Version 0.2 - As of 11/3/96
• Java 1.1 - Version 0.1 - As of 12/17/97
• WinAmp Plugin - Version 1.50 - As of 4/8/98

The packages available here are either for PC's (DOS/Windows 3.1, Win95, Linux), Apple Macintosh's (MacOS), or any Java-enabled platform (MacOS 8, some Unix platforms, any Java-enabled web-browser for any platform).

Most of these packages are compressed using either PKZIP 2.04g or a ZIP-compatible program. All .ZIP archives have been integrity tested and the contents virus scanned. The Macintosh packages are BinHexed StuffIt archives, and have also been integrity checked and virus scanned. The Linux packages are TAR archives compressed with GNUZip (good ol' gzip) and have been integrity checked. The Java package is uncompressed but has been hand-inspected and run to verify it contains no malicious or dangerous code.

Absolutely none of these programs are guaranteed bug-free in any way! Some of them are still very much in development.

Note! If you download an archive and find it is corrupted, contains a virus, or is in some other way defective, let me know immediately! I will attempt to verify and fix the problem as soon as I can. Thanks!

Cthugha97 Beta6 (PC - Windows95)

(by Kevin "Zaph" Burfitt)

(Please feel free to steal this icon for your own webpage to link to the Cthugha97 section of the archives)

NOTE! There is currently no source code available for Cthugha97. This is because it is an Alpha release.

Note: To use Cthugha97, you must have DirectX 3.0 installed!! You can get it from Microsoft's webpage, and it is included with many modern Windows95 games. It is also now available from the Cthugha Archives (see the link below). If you get an error about "DINPUT.DLL" missing, then suprise! you don't have DirectX installed (or it's not a complete install).

Note: You must have a 3DFX-based video card to use the 3D version of Cthugha97. It simply will not run on any other type of video card. For those with 3DFX-based cards, you must have the Glide 2.3 drivers installed. You can download them from the 3DFX homepage. Complaints about the 3-D version not working will be pointedly ignored.

Here are the currently available Cthugha packages for Windows95 as of 10/26/98:

CTHUGHA-DGA 0.2 (Linux)

(by Mark Vojkovich)

This version of Cthugha is a Linux version that has been ported to use the Xfree-DGA libraries for graphics. This means the code can be easily ported to other Unix platforms such as FreeBSD. Currently, the sound code is still Linux-specific but the author expects to adapt that as well.

Here are the currently available Cthugha-DGA packages as of 11/25/96:
 

1.0 (Macs - MacOS 7.1 or higher)

(by Rus Maxham)

Here are the currently available Cthugha packages for Apple Macintosh computers as of 5/13/97:
