@database CONTENTS @author "Fred Fish" @index MAIN @node MAIN "Useful Material" U S E F U L M A T E R I A L This is the root directory of the file tree that contains tools, libraries, documentation, and other useful material that is updated with each CD release. This file is automatically generated from the product info files in this tree. There are three other files that are automatically generated, which are plain text versions of the same information contained in this file, as follows: The @{"INDEX" link FreshFish-Vol8-1:Useful/INDEX/MAIN} file provides a quick overview which contains a one-line entry for each program, including the name of the program, version number, and short description. The @{"LOCATE" link FreshFish-Vol8-1:Useful/LOCATE/MAIN} file is the same as the INDEX file, except instead of having a short description, it includes the full path to the material you wish to locate. The @{"CONTENTS" link FreshFish-Vol8-1:Useful/CONTENTS/MAIN} file contains detailed information about each program, including a longer description, author information, and location in the file tree. Generally you would only need these files if you were accessing the information without the help of AmigaGuide. This file tree is organized into several subdirectories.

AmiPOP 1.15 A POP 3 client for AmigaDOS. AmiPOP@ is a POP3 Client for AmigaDOS. It was written directly from the POP3 RFC (RFC #1225). AmiPOP is only a simple transport mechanism for moving electronic mail messages between a POP-Host, typically a mainframe, and your local AmigaDOS system. The advantage of POP over other transports such as SMTP is that all E-mail can still be directed to the mainframe system. This is of primary importance when either a dialup line is used, which has a new IP address for each connection, or when a user uses many machines, and wishes to be able to transparently read mail on all of them. AmiPOP features: AUISG compliant (or at least it tries to be!) Makes heavy use of 2.0 (and higher) functions such as ReadArgs, utility.library, GadTools, and 2.0 functions in Amiga.lib. Written from RFC 1225, not a port of a Unix or a PC application. Small code size, and low system resource usage.

MUI is an object oriented system to create and maintain graphical user interfaces. From a programmers point of view, using MUI saves a lot of time and makes life much easier. Thinking about complicated terms like window resizing or font sensitivity is simply not neccesary.\n On the other hand, users of MUI based applications have the ability to customize nearly every pixel of a programs interface according to their personal taste.\n This distribution is interesting for both, users and programmers. Please have a look at the supplied demo programs and at the documentation to see what MUI has to offer.\n MUI is an SASG (Standardized Amiga Shareware Group) product.

The language defines a large subset of AmigaBASIC but also has many features not found in the latter such as: turtle graphics, recursion, SUBs with return values, structures, arguments, include files, a better WAVE command which allows for large waveforms, external references, named constants and a variety of other commands and functions not found in AmigaBASIC. New features in version 2.0 include: gadgets, three standard requester types, serial I/O and menus (with optional command-keys for menu items). New commands and functions for this version include EXIT FOR, PTAB, SPC, DEF FN, ON ERROR and ERR (these last two handle file and serial I/O at present). INPUT and PRINT can now be used transparently for all screen/window combinations. All user-defined windows are now fully-configurable and may be used in conjunction with screens as per AmigaBASIC. Window close event trapping is also a new feature. In addition to event trapping, ACE now supports WAITing for both menus and gadgets. Waiting is more operating-system-friendly than event trapping. A simple graphical front-end (Integrated Development Environment) is also provided with the archive. This is written in ACE.

The list is sorted alphabetically, with processes before tasks. This list is not updated automatically, as constructing this list requires suspension of multitasking. If you run a program you want to monitor after starting StackMon, click on the 'Update list' gadget so that it appears in the list. If the program you want to monitor was run from the Workbench, its name will be that of the icon; if run from the shell the name is the exact name typed into the shell, with path. Click on the program you wish to monitor and StackMon will begin monitoring. The display consists of numbers and a fuel gauge showing the current stack use relative to the size of the stack. The numbers are: Current: This is the amount of stack in use when the program was last monitored. Largest: The largest recorded stack ever in use by this program. Stack : The stack allocated for this program.

It supports the ISO-9660 standard, the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol and the Macintosh HFS format. The CDROM drive is mounted as a DOS device (e.g. CD0:). You can access files and directories on a CDROM disk by the usual syntax, e.g. "type cd0:foo/readme.txt".

A pre-mastering program to generate an ISO-9660 filesystem. It takes a snapshot of a given directory tree, and generates a binary image which will correspond to an ISO-9660 filesystem when written to a block device. It is also capable of generating the System Use Sharing Protocol records specified by the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol. This is used to further describe the files in the ISO-9660 filesystem to a unix host, and provides information such as longer filenames, uid/gid, posix permissions, and block and character devices. Each file written to the ISO-9660 filesystem must have a filename in the 8.3 format (8 characters, period, 3 characters, all upper case), even if Rock Ridge is in use. This filename is used on systems that are not able to make use of the Rock Ridge extensions (such as MS-DOS), and each filename in each directory must be different from the other filenames in the same directory. mkisofs generally tries to form correct names by forcing the unix filename to upper case and truncating as required, but often times this yields unsatisfactory results when there are cases where the truncated names are not all unique. mkisofs assigns weightings to each filename, and if two names that are otherwise the same are found the name with the lower priority is renamed to have a 3 digit number as an extension (where the number is guaranteed to be unique). An example of this would be the files foo.bar and foo.bar.~1~ - the file foo.bar.~1~ would be written as FOO.000;1 and the file foo.bar would be written as FOO.BAR;1. "path" is the path of the directory tree to be copied into the ISO-9660 filesystem.

For example, the current Commodore implementation doesn't mount the partitions on a removable media SCSI drive (e.g. SyQuest or Ricoh) when there was no cartridge in the drive at boot time. Even worse, after another cartridge with a different Rigid Disk Block (i.e. a different partition table) has been inserted, the system gets totally confused and reports read/write errors when trying to access the device which can lead to loss of important data on the cartridge. Until now, the only possibility to work around this problem was to reboot the system every time a new cartridge has been inserted. SCSIMounter allows you to mount and unmount partitions without rebooting the machine. It sports a nice 2.0-style point-and-click user interface that makes handling removable media a piece of cake.

You can arbitrarily stretch or compress the window, and the picture will be rescaled to fit. You can rotate the picture in 90-degree steps. You can flip the picture vertically and horizontally. You can repeatedly 'crop' a picture (define a rectangular 'region-of-interest' and 'throw away' the rest). You can magnify any portion of the picture by any amount, up to the maximum size of your screen. XV allows you click on the picture to determine pixel RGB values and x,y coordinates. You can perform arbitrary 'gamma correction' on the picture both in RGB space and HSV space. You can specify the maximum number of colors that XV should use, for some interesting visual effects. You can have the program produce a stippled version of the picture using black and white, or any other pair of colors. XV can write images in a variety of formats, with many of the modifications you may have made to the picture saved as well. You can use XV to do format conversion.
