CONTENTS, ScopeDisk48
3D-ICONS - The author of this file was impressed with the icons on the NeXt
machine. He made these for his Amiga. You'll find a number of
icons for each "type" and "name" disk device you have. Simply
copy the appropriate .info file to the disk and rename DISK.INFO
as you copy it. To aid in seeing what each icon looks like, I've
included a picture file. View it with any IFF ILBM picture
viewing utility.
AUTO13 - This patch is for those of us without auto-config. The patch is
added to the Kickstart disk, performing the ADDMEM function whenever
a "cold boot" is performed. The Kickstart execution of ADDMEM
should eliminate the problems some RAM experience with ADDMEM and
recoverable RAM disks (RRD, VD0- , Survivor, etc.).
CAT&MOUSE - Cat & Mouse is a game of hand/eye coordination. The aim of the
game is very simple- STAY ALIVE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. BUT (because
there always has to be a BUT) as in real life, the more you eat the
slower you will go and that's what your deadly opponents the Cats
are hoping for. Also, if you don't eat enought you will loose your
reserves of energy and either die or get caught. Also like in real
life, you only have one life to live...
DISKSTICK - This is a program designed for printing labels for 3 1/2" disks.
It opens a window, reads the directories, provides for editing,
offers a choice of print pitch, multiple or single column, and
automatically prints the disk name and label.
DST11 - This is a small program that will run from either the WB or CLI.
It will display a list of ALL currently mounted devices, including
hard disk partitions on the Workbench screen, i.e. it does not
have its own window, so you have no way of communicating with it.
That also means that it takes very little memory (no chip mem at
all) and very little processor time.
EASYMENU - This is a programming routine that will create a menu
to be used in your own programs. Very short, source only.
HELPWP - WordPerfect Helper - this will put a bar on the bottom line of the
screen showing the Function Key definitions for WordPerfect. Press
one of the qualifier - keys and the display changes to show what the
function key does with that qualifier. Saves lots of searching
on that tiny template they send you.
RUNBACK3 - This is an altered version of Rob Peck's fine program, RunBack.
RunBack, similar to Run, allows you to startup a CLI program and
let it run in the background. Unlike Run, however, RunBack allows
the original CLI to be closed. Run would hang the CLI if you did this.
Also unlike Run, the old RunBack did not search your command search
path; you always had to specify the complete pathname of your command.
This new version eliminates this hassle - - it searches your path.
SCREENHACKS - Two of them - CloseMe, a window that just won't close, and
some other tricks, besides. Also, EW14. You saw Exploding
Windows a few months ago, and now it is better.
SETFONT2.5 - This is an update to Dave Haynie's popular SetFont program.
SetFont V2.5 is a public domain program designed to allow the system
font of the Amiga to be changed in various different ways. The
program is called from a shell or startup - sequence script, and has
the form - SetFont [fontname [point [places]]]
Almost any diskfont of suitable size can be used.
SHOWFONT32 - December 88 update to this program, which will display all
characters of a diskfont in a window on the screen. It works
quickly, and its window goes away after you are through. It
puts a requester on the screen, from which you may select the
name and size of the font to be viewed.
QuickLens - QuickLens v2.03 is a program that magnifies portions of any
screen. It demonstrates some very fast bit manipulation techniques.
Written by Mike Berro, it is based on "Lens" by Ned Konz. v2.03 has
Magnify and NextScreen gadgets. QLens automatically vacates any
closing screen.
TTT - a 3-dimensional tic-tac-toe game on a board of 4 levels each board
has 16 squares all displayed in perspective.
Asteroids - Asteriods loads all of its images from a single IFF/ILBM
file called "template.ilbm". If you don't like any or all of the
shapes of the asteroids or ships just edit this file. The images
must remain the same size as before and be roughly circular
(collision detection is based on circular objects). Sounds are
loaded from a set of IFF/8SVX sound files which you can also change
to your liking.
