The PlayBeep function runs as a task in the background and runs asynchronously so the length of the sound does not slow anything down. Includes a couple of sample sound files. Version 1.1 binary only. Author: Tim Friest and Don Withey SnipIt An input handler wedge which allows you to clip text from any window and then paste that text anywhere, as though you had typed it on the keyboard.

This allows warm boot surviveability of ram disk devices and eliminates addmem commands from your startup sequence. Version 2.0, includes source. Author: Dave Williams PAGE 159 MoreIsBetter These two hacks make MORE more useful. One is called V; it's a small "pure" CLI command that acts as a front end for More, causing it to create its own window. Make V and More both resident! The other is Fenestrate, which surgically alters the CON: window spec inside More enabling it to, for instance, use ConMan features to create a borderless window on the topmost screen (very useful with CLImax).

Has hot keys for most program functions (including dialing up to 10 phone numbers), PAL and NTSC support for normal or interlaced screens, screen I/O greater than 2400 baud, ANSI/VT100 terminal emulation with full 8 color text support, IBM graphics, optional translation styles, split screen mode, full user control of color palette, full support for all European languages, full serial port control with baud rates up to 19200, script language, phonebook, keyboard macros, and more. Version 1.8, binary only. Author: DJ James, Daniel Bloch, et. al. NoClick A program which silences the clicking of empty drives on the B2000 under AmigaDOS 1.3. It should also work on an A500. An update to version to version 3.5 on disk 243. Includes assembly source code. Version 3.6. Author: Norman Iscove PAGE 176 ScreenShare A library and support programs that enable applications to open up windows on other applications' custom screens. For example, your editor may want to open a window on your terminal emulator's screen so you can compose a message while still being able to see the contents of the terminal's screen. Both applications must cooperate for the screen sharing to work. Version 1.2, includes source for interface portions. Author: Willy Langeveld Ty A text display program based on Amiga "less" version 1.0. Has both keyboard and mouse control of all functions, an intuition interface, and uses the Amiga specific keys (such as the Help key) correctly. Version 1.3, includes source. Author: Mark Nudelman, Bob Leivian, Tony Wills ====================================================================== ============================ README.list 247 ========================= This is disk 247 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. AnalogJoystick Software support for use of analog joysticks on the Amiga. Includes a driver, a header file for code that calls the driver, and an example program that uses the driver. Includes source. Author: Dave Kinzer AssemTools A collection of files which should be of great interest to Amiga assembly language programmers. The collection includes 140 macro routines which make assembly language programming a lot easier. There is also a library of routines containing buffered C-like file handling functions (fopen, fclose, fgets, fputs, etc) and a file name requester. All routines are re-entrant. Includes source for example programs using the macros and library, and a 65c02 cross macro assembler. Author: Jukka Marin RemoteLog A couple of programs which make possible remote access to your Amiga. One program checks the serial port for an incoming call, and starts a program when it is detected. The other is a password protection program which allows starting various programs based upon login id, thus providing some minimal security for your computer. Includes source. Author: Dave Kinzer XprLib External file transfer protocol library. Document and code example for implementing external file transfer protocols using Amiga shared libraries. This is an update to the version on disk 240, with many extensions and enhancements. Includes sample XPR library and source. Version 2.0. Author: Willy Langeveld ====================================================================== PAGE 177 ============================ README.list 248 ========================= This is disk 248 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. AmiGantt A project definition and management tool designed to create a simple, interactive method of outlining the task required to complete a particular project, using the GANTT chart as the input format. AmiGantt displays the project in a multi-window mode with separate windows for the GANTT chart, task information input, resource histogram display, and Pert chart display. Up to 500 tasks may be defined for any project, and a project may contain other projects as tasks. Version 3.0.0, shareware, binary only. Author: Donald Tolson CLI-Colors A simple little program to change the colors of the border around a CLI window. Includes source in assembly code. Author: Michael Sinz Flipper A small, fast, Othello program. Does not use any look- ahead methods. Binary only. Author: Michael Sinz Maze An example of a fully re-entrant maze generation program written in assembly language using Manx's assembler. Includes source. Author: Michael Sinz NetHandler The Software Distillery's network file system handler (NET:), using Matt Dillon's DNET to mount one Amiga's devices on another Amiga. It also serves as an example file system written entirely in Lattice C. Version 1.0, includes source. Author: Software Distillery Regex An Amiga shared library version of the GNU regular expression package from the Free Software Foundation. A regular expression is a concise method of describing a pattern of characters in a string. By use of special wildcards, almost any pattern can be described. A regular expression pattern can be used for searching strings in such programs as editors or other string handling programs. Version 1.0, includes source. Author: Edwin Hoogerbeets, FSF, Jim Mackraz ====================================================================== ============================ README.list 249 ========================= This is disk 249 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Automata Four cellular automata programs. AutomaTron is a one dimensional cellular automation, Crud is a automation based on a sum index rule, Demon is a cyclic space automation described in the Aug 89 Scientific American, and Life is one of the oldest and best known of all cellular automata. Includes source. Author: Gary Teachout PAGE 178 Slicer Slicer computes and displays images of the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. Unlike many Mandelbrot programs that generate pictures directly, Slicer computes and stores an array of raw data which it may then render into pictures in a number of ways. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Gary Teachout TurMite A two dimensional turing machine simulator. Imagine a small bug crawling around on your computer display moving one pixel at a time. At each step it uses its internal state number and the color of the pixel it's on as indexes into a set of tables to decide what color to change the pixel to, what direction to move, and what its new internal state should be. Includes source. Author: Gary Teachout ======================================================================
