ff A very fast text formatter, controlled exclusively by
command line arguments.
cforth A highly portable forth implementation. Lots of goodies.
xlisp A nice little lisp implementation. Compiles and links
ok, but something in the Lattice C setjmp/longjmp
code prevents it from currently running. Might be
easily fixed. Version 1.4
fd4 bgrep Another grep like utility, also using the Boyer-Moore
algorithm.
bison A replacement for unix "yacc" command. This is from
the GNU (GNU is Not Unix) effort, and was obtained
from the Free Software Foundation. Compiles and
links (with some effort) but currently crashes the
machine. Needs work, but will probably be worth it.
bm A grep like utility using the Boyer-Moore algorithm.
grep Decus grep (Get Regular Expression and Print). Useful
for finding strings in files.
kermit This is an absolutely ancient kermit, who's only
saving grace is that it is small and quite portable.
receive. You must log into the remote machine via
one of it's local terminals and point it's kermit at
the appropriate serial line connected to the AMIGA.
MyCLI Another CLI for the AMIGA.
mandel A Mandelbrot set program.
fd5 cons Console device demo program with supporting macro routines.
freemap Creates a visual diagram of free memory. Comes with
custom icon so can be run from workbench screen.
input.dev In combination with hander.interface.asm (supplied),
lets a user trap keyboard or mouse events before they
get to Intuition and if desired, install new (phony/
generated/other-devices-mouse-simulations) into the
input stream. Handler.interface.asm is needed to convert
the calling sequence performed by the input.task for
the input stream management into something that a
C program can understand.
joystick Shows how to set up the gameport device as a joystick.
Reports parameters received from joystick hooked to
right port.
keyboard Sample program to demonstrate direct communications with
the keyboard.
layers Shows use of the layers library, used by Intuition to
create windows (layers handles all overlapping drawing
areas and keeps things straight, sending to the back,
bringing to the front, making larger/smaller, etc.)
mandelbrot Latest and greatest mandelbrot program. New features
include the ability to save images in "iff" format,
for reading into Deluxe Paint or other programs that
use iff. Also includes code from GraphiCraft to handle
color palette and change colors at will. Many additions
by RJ Mical.
mouse Shows how to set up the gameport device as a mouse so
that hooking up the mouse to the right port gives access
to mouse information.
one.window Produces a window with a console attached. Does graphics
in the top half and limits the console activity to the
lower half.
parallel Demonstrates access to the parallel port.
printer Shows how to open and use a printer, does a screen dump
of the workbench screen if there is a graphics-capable
printer attached.
Currently does not compile under Lattice C Ver3.02 and
does not link under Lattice C Ver3.03.
print.support Printer support routines. Currently won't compile,
missing a header file "local.h".
proctest Sample code to create a process, set up message ports,
pass messages, etc. Sample slave code for create pros
cess test (littleproc.c) currently does not link unde
either Lattice C 3.02 or 3.03 (unresolved global vari
ables not in libraries).
region Demonstrates how a drawing area can be split into linked
ked rectangular regions. Draws a rectangle in a single
ple playfield display, then draws "Behind a Fence" several
veral times behind an apparent fence in the rectangle.
Only works under Lattice Ver3.03.
samplefont A sample font that produces clubs, hearts, spaces, and
diamonds as its four characters. Shows precisely what
is contained in an Amiga font.
serial Demonstrates access to the serial port. Requires an
external terminal connected to the serial port.
singleplayfield Creates and displays a 320 by 200 by 2 bit plane
single playfield display. Completely covers Intuition's
display, but gives the system back at exit.
speechtoy Latest and greatest version of Dave's cute speech demo
program. Comes with custom icon so can be run from
a workbench screen.
speech.demo A much simplified version of speechtoy. Also includes
exec support functions for extended IO requests,
CreateExtIO() to allocate and initialize a new IO request
block and DeleteExtIO() to free an extended IO request
block.
text.demo Sample program that asks AvailFonts() to make a list of
the fonts that are available, then opens a window and
then prints a description of the various attributes that
can be applied to the fonts, in the font itself.
Previous versions were released as "whichfont".
timer simple timer example program. includes dynamic
allocation of data structures needed to communicate
with the timer device, as well as the actual device
IO.
trackdisk Demonstrates use of trackdisk driver. Useful example of
"raw" disk read/write.
fd6 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).
dadc A digital computer impersonating an analog clock
impersonating a digital clock.
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.
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.
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.
setparallel Allows the CLI user to dynamically change any particular
parallel port parameter.
setserial Allows the CLI user to dynamically change any particular
serial port parameter.
sort A quicksort based sort program, using separate driver
and sort modules. Originally from a DECUS C distribution.
Claims to be fast, but when operating entirely out of ram
takes 93 seconds to sort its input file, sort.c, while
AmigaDos's sort takes only 43 seconds under the same
conditions.
stripc Strips comments and extraneous whitespace from C source
files. Useful for compacting the C header files to
increase usable disk space.
fd8 It contains the source to "Hack", a popular UNIX game ported to the
AMIGA by John Toebes. Please read all the associated README files
before redistributing with changes.
