Goodies Disk #1 from Delta Research
This disk contains tools and programs written using JForth from
Delta Research. Many of the programs have been target compiled
using Clone so that they can be used without owning JForth. If
you want to modify the programs, or to use the programming
tools, like the FFT, you will need the JForth programming
language. It is available from most retailers and mail order
outlets or directly from:
Delta Research
P.O. Box 1051
San Rafael, CA
94915
(415) 461-1442
All of the programs on this disk may be freely redistributed.
Some of them are public domain, some shareware, some freeware, etc.
Please see the ReadMe files for the particular programs to
see what kind they are.
This disk contains:
--------------------------------------------
Textra by Mike Haas
This easy-to-use text editor allows multiple windows, and
provides a simple mouse driven interface. Those familiar with
the "Macintosh style" editors will be comfortable with Textra's
Cut, Copy and Paste commands.
Standalone image. Documentation included. No source code.
--------------------------------------------
Guru by Mike Haas
Handy "guru" number interpreter (well, handy after reboot
anyway!). Tells you what "81000009" means, for example.
CLI usage only.
Standalone image. With readme file. Source code included.
--------------------------------------------
Mandelbrot! by Nick Didkovsky
A fast Mandelbrot rendering program that uses some of the
mathematical properties of the Mandelbrot set to greatly reduce
the drawing time. Demonstrates graphics programming, assembly
language, menus and IFF file I/O. (Nick is a teacher and a New
Music Composer from New York.)
Standalone image with source code.
--------------------------------------------
HeadClean 2.0 by Phil Burk
This program, combined with a fibre cleaning disk, can be used
to clean the heads on your disk drives. Source code examples of
accessing the Trackdisk device, and using gadgets are included.
Standalone image with source code. Shareware.
--------------------------------------------
JustBeeps by Phil Burk
Simple example of using Audio and Timer devices. Plays a series
of beeps whose pitches are based on a just intoned tuning
system.
Source code. Standalone image. Public Domain.
--------------------------------------------
Neural Net by Robert E. La Quey, ported by Jack Woehr
Example of Neural Net programming converted to JForth by Jack.
Demonstrates a programming technique that many say is the wave
of the future for software. This is a simple demo that shows
neural propagation.
Standalone image and source code.
--------------------------------------------
Evolution by Russel Yost
This program graphically simulates the evolution of a species of
"bugs", the insect kind. Bugs, represented by moving blobs, eat
bacteria represented by single pixels. They mutate, compete for
food, reproduce and pass their mutations to their offspring.
Fascinating example of graphics and software simulation.
Standalone image and source code. Public Domain.
--------------------------------------------
FFT by Jerry Kallaus
Highly optimized Fast Fourier Transform tools for digital signal
processing. The FFT can be used to compute the frequency
spectrum of a complex signal. It is useful in a variety of
different applications. Floating Point and Integer versions.
Mixture of high level and assembly language code. Cloned
example.
--------------------------------------------
HAMmmm2 by Phil Burk
Graphics hack that displays moving lines in a HAM screen for a
hypnotic effect. Uses sound tools from HMSL if available, for a
drone sound that corresponds to the graphics image.
Standalone image and source code. Public Domain.
--------------------------------------------
H2J by Phil Burk
Converts 'C' style '.h' include files to JForth style '.j'
files. Useful when developing interfaces to new Amiga libraries
like ARP, etc.
Standalone image and source code. Public Domain.
--------------------------------------------
Various by Roy Brunjes
Various tools submitted together by the author.
StringPkg - A string package for both Forth style and NUL
terminated strings.
Date&Time - Handy tools for getting and printing formatted date
and time.
Utils - utilities used by the other files.
CursorControl - Move text cursor. An alternative to the JU:ANSI
file in JForth.
SpaceOrEscape - Handy word for pausing or stopping program
output.
Source code. Public Domain.
--------------------------------------------
We hope you enjoy these programs. If you have JForth programs
that you would like to share, please send them to Delta
Research. Please organize them into a single directory and
supply a README file like the ones on this disk.
