- About the Amiga-version of FUDGIT 2.33:
- --------------------------------------
-
- - First important note: This program is not a toy for kids, it
- has no graphical user-interface, and no colorful intro. FUDGIT
- does some sophisticated calculations, and is valuable if you
- want to fit curves using state-of-the-art methods. Call it from
- your favourite shell, read the online-docs, or even better print
- out the documentation.
-
- FUDGIT was not easy to compile under ADos, because many "Unix-only"
- features are used within it. The following things differ from the
- original version (and the documentation):
-
- - FUDGIT needs the ixemul.library. If you don't like this, feel free
- to compile it on your own with the compiler of your choice.
-
- - I removed all the "readline"-related routines, libreadline.a made
- too much trouble, and with a comfortable console-device (such as
- KingCON or the WShell CON: device) you won't miss the emacs-like
- command-line functions.
-
- - Direct piping to the plot-program (such as GNUPlot) is not possible.
- Save your results to a file, then import it from within your plot-pgm.
-
- - A few math-functions are missing in the cmode-calculator, because
- they were missing in my libm.a, theese are: y0(), y1(), yn() and jn().
-
- - No external pager support available. Shouldn't be too bad if you've
- got a scroll-bar at your shell-window.
-
- I didn't test any feature of FUDGIT (there are a lot!) before I published
- this release. If you find some function inoperable, please email me.
-
- In the "Amiga_Binaries" directory, there are two executables available:
-
- - "Fudgit" runs on any 68k-processor and
- - "Fudgit_20_881" needs ((680x0 with x >= 2) AND 6888x FPU) OR 68040
-
- And two versions of the documentation:
-
- - "fudgit.help" is the on-line help data file, just type "help" in FUDGIT
- - "Fudgit_Manual.dvi" is an already LaTeX'ed .dvi-file, ready to print...
-
- The whole source can be found in the "Source" subdirectory. You'll need
- a full blown GCC-environment for a successful "make"... :)
-
- Now enjoy FUDGIT,
