Portable archiver. Used to bundle text file up into a single file for transmission as a unit, or otherwise handling as a single file. "Portable" because the code itself is portable and because the archive format is very simple (uses ascii headers to separate files). From Decus C distribution. Author: Martin Minow
xrf
C cross reference utility. Originally from Decus C distribution. Author: Bob Denny

trackdisk
Demonstrates use of trackdisk driver. Useful example of "raw" disk read/write. Author Rob Peck 12/1/85
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). Author: Thomas Spencer, with improvements by others
dadc
A digital computer impersonating an analog clock impersonating a digital clock. Author: Perry S. Kivolowitz
microemacs
An upgraded version of microemacs originally distributed on disk number 2. I don't have an exact list of changes but the new executable is about 25% larger, so there must 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.
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 easily implemented. Also includes considerable documentation on audio device. Author: Steven A. Bennett

BBS Stuff
Note that this disk contains a number of programs apparently available only in executable form. I am not real happy with this trend, but had no way of getting in contact with the authors who posted these programs to various BBS's to request source. I have no reason to believe that any of these executable only postings contain any deliberate "misfeatures", but you should always use such programs cautiously.

MicroGNUEmacs
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. 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)

This is an update to the compress version released on disk number 6. It is tested and seems to work well except for a couple glitches noticed at the last minute (see the README file). 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. Author: Thomas Spencer, with improvements by others

Larn
This disk contains a port of the popular UNIX game "Larn", done by Edmund Burnette and the crew at the Software Distillery. This is version 12.0B. Note that this disk must be named "Larn".

MicroGNUEmacs
This diskette contains the latest Amiga version of MicroGNUEmacs (MG 1b), a small but powerful text editor that also 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. As well as the commands available on *all* systems MG supports, Amiga MG has many Amiga-specific features: the Amiga mouse (with 24 different functions!), Intuition pull-down menus, the Browser (a very nice way to select files), Amiga function keys, a full-screen editing window, and support for using a different text font in the editing window. The current version is known to run on the following systems: 4.2 & 4.3 BSD Unix, Sun 3.2; Ultrix-32 (BSD Unix); OS9/68k; VMS; Amiga; System V; Eunice; Primos; Cpm/68k; Atari ST MicroGNUEmacs is based on the original work of Dave Conroy, author of the public domain v30 version. It has been greatly enhanced through the efforts of the following people: mwm@ucbopal.berkeley.edu (Mike Meyer), mic@ngp.utexas.edu (Mic Kaczmarczik), blarson@usc-eclb.arpa (Bob Larson), rtech!daveb@sun.com (Dave Brower) (previous version)

AnalytiCalc
AnalytiCalc is a large and powerful spreadsheet program with sufficient extra features to have some pretentions of acting as an "integrated system". It is a virtual memory system supporting up to 18000 columns and 18000 rows, multiple equations per cell, an outlining system, built-in cell annotation, and datafile access from any cell(s) of the sheet, plus an array of functions not present in most commercial spreadsheets. This disk represents the initial Amiga port of AnalytiCalc, and as such the console interface is somewhat crude and in addition requires use of a custom keymap (one such is supplied) for sensible operation. This will be improved upon, but meanwhile the program is released with complete sources, documents, and executables. The graphics program and the DIF file access program are not yet ported; these will be released when they are ready. AnalytiCalc for the Amiga uses files compatible with those for AnalytiCalc on MS-DOS, VMS, or RSX-11M or IAS. An example project planner spreadsheet is included in the distribution to show off some of the things you can do. More example sheets will be forthcoming in the future. AnalytiCalc also supports matrix math, FFTs, infinite windowing, linear regression, date arithmetic, internal and external macros, LOTS of cell addressing modes, goal seeking in up to 8 dimensions, and more. AnalytiCalc requires perhaps 600K of RAM memory, at least one 360K diskette drive, and AmigaDOS 1.2, plus a larger than default stack. Display sizes supported can be up to 132 characters wide by up to 76 lines long. Sorry; I don't think AnalytiCalc supports proportional fonts very well, though it should manage not to be totally brain damaged with them. The manual requires an 80 column printer.
AsmProgs

Author: Paul Kienitz.
V
A front-end for Commodore's More or some other text viewer that can be made resident. Can be used from Workbench, greatly reducing disk loading time because V is much smaller than More, which need not be loaded if it is resident. From CLI, causes More to create a new window, specified with an environment variable, rather than using the CLI window. V is itself residentable. Much improved since the version on disk 224, to which it is only distantly related. Includes source in assembly. Author: Paul Kienitz.
