This is disk 773 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
Detache A very small and simple utility that will detache a file from
the file system. Note that this is completely different than
deleting a file. In particular, Detache works even if the file
system did not restart properly because of a failed validation.
This happens rather frequently if the Amiga crashes during a
write on a hard disk partition: you get the dreaded "checksum
error on block xxx" requester, and no writes are allowed to the
partition. If you know the name of the guilty file (the file
the faulty block belongs to) you can simply detache it, and the
file system will be happy to restart. Requires OS2.04, binary
only.

Enforcer A tool to monitor illegal memory access for 68020/68851, 68030,
and 68040 CPUs. This is a completely new Enforcer from the
original idea by Bryce Nesbitt. It contains many new and
wonderful features and options and no longer contains any
exceptions for specific software. Enforcer can now also be
used with CPU or SetCPU FASTROM or most any other MMU-Kick-
start-Mapping tool. Major new output options such as local
output, stdout, and parallel port. Highly optimized to be as
fast as possible. This is version 37.26, containing a bug fix
to version 37.25 on disk number 754. Requires V37 of the OS
or better and an MMU.

disk number 236 by Justin McCormick. Includes many enhance-
ments and bug fixes. Ls is a popular, UNIX style directory
lister. This version features intelligent columnar listing,
versatile sort options, UNIX-style pattern matching, recursive
subdirectory listing, customized output formatting and much
more! Version 4.7ljr, requires at least OS 2.04, includes
source.

blanking, a discreet informative backdrop window in the title-

memory. Also includes a runtime configuration file. Version

Quest General purpose interactive AREXX question/answer routine that

tember 1989.

Wangle Very addictive "sliding-block" single player strategy game.
The object is to group four smaller squares of the same color
together in such a way as to form a larger square. Once
started in a direction, blocks slide until they hit another
block, a wall, or in some cases, fall through the floor!
Includes 50 levels and a level editor. Binary only.
