- UTILITY DISK - MAST #557 - NOVEMBER 1991
- ========================================
-
- The folders on this disk contain the following programs:
-
- ARPEG - This is the PHONIX MIDI ARPEGGIATOR, a desk accessory which allows
- the user to set up arpeggiation sequences on a MIDI synth.
-
- "An arpeggiator cycles through a series of notes, transposing some
- (if the synthesist so desires) to keep them within a certain
- range. It can cycle up, or down, or alternatively up and down
- through the notes. By combining different notes, range
- selections, and cycle directions, surprisingly interesting
- patterns can be developed." [from ARP.INF]
-
- DBACKUP - This is 'a backup program for people with removable hard disks'.
- it works with any media, so those with floppy disks may find it
- of some use. However, the primary user of this program will
- probably have a Syquest disk drive or a tape drive to make this
- program fully useful.
-
- JAMPACK4 - This is another program packer - a program which compresses
- executable files (programs) and provides code to uncompress them
- when yo run the program. It allows you to select one of four
- methods for packing, LZH, LZW, ICD and V2. Several source code
- (assembly) fragments are provided.
-
- LHARC - This is version 2.01g of the German LHARC archive program. The
- documentation is now in English. This version of LHARC uses the
- '-lh5-' method of compression, and is compatible with most of the
- older LHARC-type programs.
-
- MULTDEMO - This is a demo of CodeHead Software's MultiDesk Deluxe. MultiDesk
- allows the user to load desk accessories on the 'fly', so that they
- do not take up memory when not in use. Read the documentation file
- for installation. The demo has a time limit of 10 minutes, and
- several features are disabled.
-
- Q_PLAY23 - This is version 2.3 of the Quartet Player program. It now works
- with all ST/STe computers and all memory configurations. This is
- an update to the version which appeared in a previous MAST disk.
-
- QRT_ST - This is a ray tracing program which uses a free format input
- language. There is an extensive manual, and several samples of
- the language are included. A RAW output to SPECTRUM 512 converter
- is included.
-
- REDFORM - This is version 1.65 of the Red Format program. It is a disk
- formatting program with many nice features, including the ability
- to 'fast-format' (essentially erase the FAT table information),
- the ability to change volume names and a nice SYSTEM information
- option.
-
- RRTRACER - A simple ray-tracer written in GFA BASIC. The program can only
- ray-trace spheres.
-
- SHREDRPL - This is version 3.0 of the Shredder-Plus program. It =totally=
- erases a file from your floppy or hard-disk, replacing what was
- on the disk with random characters. Useful for eliminating
- 'sensitive' information on a disk so that an un-erase program
- cannot get the information back.
-
- MAST DOMs are available by mail as well. For a catalog disk, send $2.00 and
- a Stamped, Self-Addressed envelope (2 oz. of postage) to:
