++++++++++++++++++++++ From the Software Distillery +++++++++++++++++++++++
Other programs from the Software Distillery may be obtaining by calling our
Bulletin board. At present this consists of:
* C-Kermit (by Jack Rouse) - A telecommunications program that implements
the full Kermit protocol with many features such as remote commands and
batch file transfers.
* An advanced UN*X MAKE program with default rules and macro expansions
* POPCLI - a screen saver program and 'hot-key' extension for bringing up
a new cli at the touch of a key. Current version is PopCLI IV.
* ICONEXEC - a program for making AmigaDOS programs run from workbench
without any changes.
* SETALTERNATE a program for setting the alternate (selected) image on an
icon to other than inverse.
* BLINK - an Amiga Linker that is FULLY ALINK compatible and up to 4 times
faster. It supports many advanced linking features as well as an excellent
map facility. A must for the serious programmer.
* TSIZE - a utility to list the amount of disk space taken up by the individual
directories on a disk
* WBRUN - A program for running workbench programs from CLI without having
to load workbench
* MEMWATCH - A background utility to watch for ramdom memory trashing
* HACK and HACK LITE - A UN*X dungeon game with customizable graphics
* LARN, another UN*X game ported to the Amiga by Edmund Burnette.
Similar to HACK but more strategy.
++++++++++++++++++++++ Coming Soon +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Projects currently in the works from the Software Distillery:
* A network file system that works with a variety of protocols, including
DNET for a two-Amiga serial-port-only hookup.
* An MS-DOS file system that allows you to use all the normal CLI commands
on MS-DOS format diskettes.
