- 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.
