- ZGIFDataType 39.16 Fast datatype for displaying GIF files.
-
- A very fast GIF Datatype
-
- Main features:
-
- o SPEED. Try it, after using this you wont want to be without it!
- o Supports most gifs (only some esoteric, and mostly unused features
- of the GIF8?a standard have been ignored)
- o Uses async file reading for greater performance - on an A1200 will
- load a picture the same speed off of floppy as off of hard drive!
- o 100% Assembly language, very optimised.
- o Custom chunky to planar conversion, that is reasonably fast
- (a version using WritePixelLine8() runs about 50% the speed of
- this version)
- o Now works with all 68000 series CPU's (i hope)
- o Now supports transparent gifs ('copy' a transparent gif from
- multiview and then paste it as a bruch in DPaint - NEAT eh?)
- o Its FREE! (this is of course the best bit)
-
-
- Main limitations: (hey, its not _perfect_ after all)
-
- o OM_WRITE BOOPSI method not yet implemented. Expect this in a future
- release.
- o Only decodes pictures with a global colour table. Most gif loaders
- do the same, and most writers write them.
- o Ignores any local colour tables (but still decodes picture). Could
- lead to a bad palette.

- C_dt 39.11 C datatype, highlights c/c++ keywords
-
- This is a C Source data type for using in MultiView or similar programs.
- It displays different parts of a C Source in different style and color,
- like comments, keywords, basic types and cpp keywords! This goes all
- through a prefs file. If you design a nice preference file, please
- submit it to the author, so that anyone can use it!

- db 2.6 Database with GadTool look
-
- db is a small and fast database program that I wrote after having tested
- numerous other PD database programs and always found something lacking or
- irritating me. They might have dozzens of features not found in db, but
- they lacked font sensitivity and a standard GUI look and OS 3.0 behaviour.
-
- My main need was to keep record on addresses and telephone numbers of
- friends and companies. Before v2.0 db was fixed to be just an address
- and telephone database, but that has changed. The program is designed
- to handle information of your choice. Currently you have to use a file
- editor to specify the database fields and layout as there is no GUI for
- that.
-
- Anyway that's a one time job, then you just USE the database and have fun.
-
- Complete GUI support will probably only be included in a commercial product
- I plan to call REG.
-
- A partial list of db's features include:
-
- o Dynamic memory handling. Number of records and fields only limited by
- free memory.
- o GadTool based. (Use fields of string, checkbox and cycle type)
- o Mouse and keyboard driven.
- o User definable fields and layout.
- o Multiple views of the same database.
- o Commodore's Clipboard for flexible interaction with other programs.
- o AppWindow -just drag and drop database icons on db to load.
- o Online MenuHelp -Press HELP key when selecting a menu item.
- o Font sensitivity.
- o ARexx
- o ASL requesters for flexible loads and saves.
- o Localized
- o Dial numbers using a modem or loudspeaker
- o WB and Shell usage with Commodore's template parsing
- o Fast and flexible find function using AmigaDOS patterns.
- o Filter function.
- o Fast and flexible sort function. Multiple sort orders can be
- specified.
- o 'Export View' and two standard ASCII export features.
- o Automatic ASCII import (tab-separated ASCII)
