-
- compress Compress reduces the size of the named files using
- adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding. The amount of compression
- obtained depends on the size of the input, the number of
- bits per code, and the distribution of common substrings.
- Typically, text such as source code or English is reduced
- by 50-60%. Compression is generally much better then that
- achieved by Huffman coding (as used in "pack") or
- adaptive Huffman coding (as used in "compact"), and takes
- less time to compute. Great for saving disk space, or
- reducing transmission time over phone lines! Also includes
- "btoa" and "atob" for converting binary files to ascii, and
- then back to binary (for transmission over links that do
- not support 8 bits).

- be something in there! One enhancement is that some
- functions are now also bound to function keys.
- Author: Dave Conroy, with enhancements by Jack Roose.
-
- PAGE 7
- mult Mult reads the input comparing adjacent lines. In the
- normal case, the second and succeeding copies of repeated
- lines are output, and the remainder of the lines are
- removed. Repeated lines must be adjacent in order to be
- found. Options are present to output the first of multiple
- lines, for comparing adjacent lines by field only, and for
- specifying the field separator character. Kind of the
- opposite of the Unix "uniq" program.
- Author: Dennis Bednar
-
- scales Demonstrates use of the Audio functions in the ROM to
- produce four voice sound. It uses a simple waveform
- (sawtooth) with no amplitude control (ie, envelope)
- or frequency variation (ie, vibrato), but these can be

- AmigaDos's sort takes only 43 seconds under the same
- conditions.

- This disk contains two new "strains" of microemacs, both derived from
- early releases of Dave Conroy's microemacs. There is currently an
- attempt on usenet, lead by Dave Brower, to coordinate an effort to
- merge features from the different versions into a single supported
- microemacs. In the meantime, perhaps you can find a feature you need
- in one of these...
-
- Lemacs Microemacs version 3.6 as enhanced and supported
- by Daniel Lawrence. This version works and has been
- tested on Unix V7, BSD 4.2, Amiga, MS-DOS, and VMS.
- Enhancements include overwrite mode, support for Amiga
- function keys, reverse video status line, numeric
- arguments using <ESC><number>, replace, buffer specific
- editing modes, word wrap mode, goto-line, buffer rename,
- insert-file, execute named command, describe bindings,
- startup files, and more.
- Author: Dave Conroy, enhancements by Daniel Lawrence
-
- Pemacs Microemacs as enhanced by Andy Poggio. New features
- include use of <ALT> keys as Meta keys, default buffers
- on buffer switch, mouse support, higher priority to
- improve interactive response, creation of backup files,
- paragraph fill, word wrap, query replace, and support for
- function keys.

- ============================ README.list23 ==============================
- This is disk 23 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
-
- This disk contains a significantly enhanced version of microemacs based
- on the version 30 release posted to usenet's mod.sources newsgroup.
-
- Previous versions of microemacs released on these disks derived from
- a very old version of microemacs. Since that old release, the author
- has cleaned up lots of loose ends and restructured major parts of the code.
- Other people have already added support for termcap, ports to other machines
- and operating systems, and a limited GNU emacs compatibility option.
-
- Because recipients of this disk might wish to run this new microemacs
- on other machines in addition to the Amiga, I have encluded all sources
- that were available to me at the time of release. The subdirectories
- which give alternate implementations are:
-
- Sys/Vms System modules for VAX VMS
- Sys/Atari System modules for Atari ST
- Sys/Msdos System modules for MSDOS
- Sys/Cpm86 System modules for Cpm
- Sys/Amiga System modules for Amiga
- Sys/Ultrix System modules for Ultrix/BSD4.2
- Sys/SysV System modules for Unix System V
- Tty/Atari Terminal driver for Atari ST
- Tty/7300 Terminal driver for AT&T Unix PC (7300)
- Tty/Intuition Terminal driver for Amiga using Intuition
- Tty/Termcap Terminal driver using termcap for Unix
- Tty/Ansi Terminal driver using Ansi codes
- Tty/Amigados Terminal driver for Amiga using just Amigados
- Tty/Heath Terminal driver for a Heath terminal
-
- There currently is a major effort underway on usenet, led by Dave
- Brower, to standardize microemacs and bring the many variations under
- one common implementation. Please send any enhancements to rtech!daveb,
- or send them to me and I will see that he gets them.

- This is disk 37 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
-
- It is port of Timothy Budd's Little Smalltalk system, done by Bill
- Kinnersley at Washington State University.
-
- The disk is unchanged except for the following:
-
- (1) I have added this file, README.list37.
-
- (2) I have added the standard distribution info file,
- README.dist.
-
- (3) In order to make room for the above two files (the
- disk only had 2 free blocks) I filtered all the text
- files in the sources, docs, and examples directories
- through a program to remove extraneous CR (^M) characters
- from the end of each line. This also makes the files
- conform to standard Amiga and Unix line delimiter
- conventions. I hope this didn't break anything else
- in the process...
-
- (4) I have added the file sources/Makefile to help people
- who want to recompile the sources. It uses my cc
- frontend. I was able to compile and link an executable
- that was almost the same size as the one Bill provided
- (100 bytes smaller) using Manx 3.20B in 16-bit int mode,
- but it aborted immediately with an error message, so
- beware.

- To quote the "Read Me First" file:
-
- This diskette contains the Amiga version of MicroGNUEmacs (MG),
- a small but powerful text editor that runs on many other computer
- systems besides the Amiga. One of MG's major goals is to be
- compatible with its cousin GNU Emacs, so certain features you
- may have seen in other versions of MicroEmacs may work differently
- here, or not exist. Hopefully, you'll find the added features MG
- provides to be worth the trouble it takes to make the switch.
-
- From the "Read Me Second" file:
-
- This is the fourth Beta distribution of MicroGnuEmacs. Beyond the
- work of Dave Conroy, author of the original public domain v30, this
- contains the efforts of:
-
- mwm@ucbopal.berkeley.edu Mike Meyer
- mic@ngp.utexas.edu Mic Kaczmarczik
- blarson@usc-oberon.arpa Bob Larson
- rtech!daveb@sun.com Dave Brower
-
- A very nice job guys! Congratulations.
-
- This disk is essentially unchanged except that I have added the usual
- README.dist and README.list files, along with changing the volume name
- to AmigaLibDisk42. The original volume name was "MG 1a".
