זלללללללל¶
BOOTCONF v1.32 by Uwe Seimet - This program allows you to configure the
language, keyboard, hertz rate, monitor frequency and lots more. What makes
it unusual is that it saves your settings to battery backed RAM and they
remain set even after you power down! Now includes a CPX version.
CPX MODULES - A collection of CPX files for use with Atari's Xcontrol panel.
They allow you to configure the NVDI screen accelerator, show the contents
of the 'cookie jar', show file attributes for any file, configure Multi-TOS
and memory protection to be on or off, show which MiNT processes are running
and show information on all the system vectors on your computer.
DESKPIC - Allows you to use a Degas, NEO, DOO, PAC, IMG, GIF or TGA picture
of your choice as a backdrop to the Desktop. Numerous example GIF pictures
are included.
FALCON BOOT v1.2 by Mike Watson - Writes a bootsector to the disk in your
floppy drive. You can switch off the 68030's data cache, instruction cache
and MMU. You can also turn down the volume on the internal loudspeaker and
much more. It includes a list of games which will now run using the program.
You can also select to have the hard drive bypassed or autoboot a boot disk.
CLIPBRD 1.3 - An implementation of the standard GEM clipboard as specified
by DRI. It allows programs which support it to share data between each
other. It is ideally suited for hard drive or ramdisk use.
NVM CONF - Configures the battery backed ram settings. It lets you set the
keyboard and language options, date and time format and so on.
OVERSCAN by DML - Enables overscan in all non-ST modes. Not VGA. PRIORITY -
A window pops up displaying details of processes running under Multi-TOS.
PROCLIST by Dave Jones - Simply displays a list of a processes running under
Multi-TOS along with their ID numbers.
SLIDEMOD by DML - This tiny program lets you display Ice Packed true colour
TGA pictures (384x480 only) and play a tracker module at 50khz in 16-bit
stereo, running in the background. If you want to see an example of this
program at its best, get hold of the POV Raytrace Demos on F.3944-F.3946.
Not VGA.
SUPER78 - Switches the display frequency on a multi-sync monitor to 78 hz.
There's a warning in German so use this one at your own risk!
M LOAD v1.0 - Displays graphically the amount of processor time being used
under Multi-TOS. High peaks on the graph indicate processor intensive
activity. It does not break down which processes use whatever amount of
processor time, it merely shows the overall load on the CPU.
3D BUTTON - Gives a 3D look to windows, alert boxes, dialog boxes and
buttons within these on TOS v4.0 and 4.01. This feature is built in as
standard from TOS 4.02 onwards.
TT GAMES - A small software patch which allows some ST/STE programs to run
on the TT and Falcon.
GEMBENCH V4.03 by Ofir Gal - A comprehensive benchmarking program which
tests your ST/STE/TT Falcon against other models. It can also be used to
test the effectiveness of screen accelerators and such like. This latest
version allows comparisons to be made between more exotic hardware setups
like the PAK 68/3, Gemulator, CaTTamaran, Medusa, Magic Mac and various ST
processor accelerator boards including the T28 and T36.
CLOCK 2.0 - Probably the best Desktop clock there is. It can be displayed
anywhere on screen in analog or digital form. It has an alarm facility and
can display the date too. If you have an STE, TT or Falcon, it will chime on
the hour too! Everything can be customised to suit.
NEW DEPACK v1.1 - Depacks files crunched by Gollum, Happy, Ice, JAM, Pompey,
DCSquish, 4Pak, Automation, Degas or Spectrum 512 and more. Now handles over
80 file types. Optimised 030 version. Fully Multi-TOS compatible.
NAUGHTY 2.5 - Unpacks (or tries to) almost any format of packed executable
program. These two programs are particularly useful for unpacking programs
which crash the Falcon in their packed state.
Sys_Info v8.34 - Reports on absolutely everything running in your machine.
Gives extensive information on every part of the operating system. This
latest version fully supports the Falcon.
THE LITTLE COPIER V1.01 BY TDOS - This program copies or formats both DD and
HD disks. It can perform multiple copies from a single read of the source
disk, copies/formats extended format disks up to 82x10 (DD) and 82x20 (HD)
and can erase used disks without the need to reformat them. As well as
handling larger formats, this program is much faster than the Desktop's
built-in copy and format.
FONTEER v1.0 - Installs a non-removeable Macintosh font in place of the
system font in 2 colour 640x400 or 640x480 modes on any monitor/TV. It also
works in 256 colour mode on VGA monitors if running Multi-TOS.
CLOCK + by M Maisey - An analog or digital clock (you choose) which runs in
any resolution. You can have gadgets (close box, full box, window title bar
etc) on or off, set the position on screen and save your preferences. Simply
select the ACC from the menu bar and click inside its window to bring up the
options. There's a Multi-TOS version on disk too.
HD FREE v1.2 - Displays the amount of space used (and free) on each
partition of your hard drive, using a bar graph. It also displays free
memory against total memory.
ENVIRON v2.2 - Allows you to set up the Desktop environment for use within
shells. It can be particularly useful since it allows you to keep all your
ACCs and RSC files wherever you like and avoids RSC files not being found
and TOS defaulting to searching Drive C for them. Assembler source included.
CPX UPDATE - A collection of the latest CPX modules from Atari for the
Falcon. A number of these are later versions of the ones you got with your
Falcon, others are completely new.
BCOLOR v1.0 - Lets you set the background colour for 3D highlights under TOS
4.02 and higher.
CLIPBOARD MANAGER v1.0 - Allows you to set the directory for the GEM
Clipboard, clear the Clipboard of its current contents and specify whether
or not it should be cleared when you reboot. These settings can be saved as
default.
COLOR VDI v2.1 - Lets you set up the colours of your preference for the
Desktop.
CONFIGURE CPX v2.1 - Changes the name, text colour, icon colour and whether
or not a CPX is RAM resident.
SOUND SETUP v2.1 - Set the volume and the right and left balance and gain to
your preference.
GENERAL v1.4 - The first version of this CPX to work correctly on the
Falcon. You can switch the speaker and cache on or off from the same CPX!
Keyboard repeat and response rate as well as mouse double-click speed can be
set from here.
MACCEL v1.01 - Lets you configure the MACCEL3 program in your Auto folder.
MODEM v1.3 - Configure your RS232 port with this one. You can set the baud
rate, parity, flow control etc here.
PRINTER v1.3 - Sets up which port your printer uses, the amount of pixels
per line, printer type, colour or mono etc.
SUBMENU v1.0 - Set up the display, drag, response and scroll delays and
height for pop-up sub menus in programs.
WINDOW COLOURS V2.1 - Lets you change the colours and fill patterns used in
GEM windows.
SETENV v1.0 - Reads the environment variables set in GEM.CNF and allows you
to add, delete or change them easily with a few mouse clicks. This CPX only
functions under Multi-TOS.
TOSWIN 1.4 - An accessory to run TOS program(s) in windows alongside GEM
programs or the Desktop under Multi-TOS.
VERTICONF BOOT V2.7 by DNT - Yet another program which lets you run some ST
games on your Falcon, which would otherwise have been incompatible.
Unfortunately both program and docs are in French.
UUENCODE V4.3 - An implementation of the Uuencode/Uudecode protocol used for
converting binary files into ASCII for transmission across systems like
Internet which does not support binary transfer. The software also converts
them back to binary. This implementation is GEM based and Multi-TOS
compatible.

זלללללללל¶
DESKCOPY & DESKFORMAT by Roland Schorr - These programs directly replace the
Desktop's copy and format options under Multi-TOS. The advantage being that
these programs multi-task and their Desktop equivalents don't.
FUPDATE 1 from Atari - This is a set of patches to get round a few bugs in
TOS 4.0 to 4.04.
FPATCH2 - Initialises DMA sound and makes it STE/TT compatible, also fixes
bugs in bconmap routine in ROM.
XCONTROL v1.31 - The latest version of Atari's Control Panel.
VIEWER v7/5/93 - The latest version of the multi-tasking replacement for the
Show command as used by Multi-TOS.
SHDRIVER - A new version of the hard drive controller software which fixes
the problem whereby filling one partition of your hard drive could over-
write the start of the next.
HDX v5.04 - The latest hard drive formatting software for use with your IDE
drive. AHDI v6.061 - The latest revision of Atari's hard drive boot
software.
MAGIBOOT - This program lets you reconfigure your Falcon in a number of
different ways to allow some incompatible ST programs to run. There's plenty
of options to try and its very much a case of trial and error, but patience
sometimes pays off.
MTOS_ACC - Install this program ass an application under Multi-TOS. It lets
you load ACCs into the Desktop menu after boot up by simply double-clicking
them. ACCs can also be unloaded after use.
PRIORITY - Allows you to set a priority level for each program running under
Multi-TOS. The higher the priority, the more CPU time will be allocated to
that process.
PS_CPX - A CPX module which has much the same function as priority (above),
except that it is always available from Xcontrol.
RDE V5 - The latest version of MWC ramdisk which is now fully Multi-TOS
compatible. This ramdisk is unique in that it is self initialising (like
partition C of a hard drive) and you can save the entire ramdisk into a
single file. When you next run it, it is restored complete with its contents
just as you left it.
EDISON - An excellent screen protector which gives you a pleasant fireworks
display after a specified period of inactivity. Works in all resolutions
except true colour.
SPEAKOFF - Switches off your Falcon's internal speaker. Useful if your
monitor has sound.
STE SOUND 2 - Patches the Falcon's DMA sound routines to be STE compatible.
Allows programs which use STE DMA sound and were previously silent on the
Falcon, to work.
TCACHE V6.0 - Caches hard drive reads and writes. Almost everything is user
configurable with different setting being possible for different drives.
Drives can also be password protected to prevent unauthorised access.
BURP_FAL - This program causes your screen display to bounce up and down.
Programs will even run with BURP installed! Useless but entertaining!
BACKWARD V3.10 - An ST emulator for the Falcon. You can alter many of the
hardware settings on the Falcon to make it downwardly compatible with the
ST/E. What makes Backward better than similar programs it that the author
gives helpful hints as to which setting to use, depending on how many bombs
you get. He also provides another program to diagnose the faults. Now
supported in the UK by the CyberSTryder Shareware support scheme.
DESKICONS - Two files full of Windows icons from the PC, converted for use
on the Falcon. Simply replace your DESKICON.RSC file with one of these
files. Between them they offer up to 216 new icons depending on which
resolution you're in.
DISASMLD - Disassembles DSP56001 .LOD files.
DMV BOOT v1.0 by Binaris - Allows you to change up non-volatile RAM settings
and select ST or STE emulation on boot up.
POVSHELL V2.2 by Racème Production - An easy to use GEM based shell (which
is even Multi-TOS compatible) for simplifying the use of POV Raytrace on
F.3988 and POV Raytrace v2 on S-F.4512 & S-F.4513. It allows you to enter
all those complex parameters with simple mouse clicks.

זלללללללל¶
ATOM_F35 - V3.5 of Altair's Atomik packer, fixed to work on the Falcon.
CLOCK V1.0 by Christophe Boyanique - This is the first clock program
specifically written for the Falcon. It runs in any resolution on any
monitor and displays the time and date at the top right in the menu bar. It
is configured from an ACC and your settings can be saved. Choose whether or
not you want the date displayed, which format you want the date displayed
in, whether or not you want the seconds displayed, 12 hour or 24 hour
display and so on. You can even set an alarm and play a sound sample when
the alarm goes off.
DESKICON by Oliver Shildmann - A collection of 200 Shareware icons for TOS 2
upwards and another 200 colour icons for TOS 4 upwards. Picture files
containing all the icons and NEWDESK.INF files set up to display them all,
are also included.
FCONTROL V1.0 - A simplified replacement for Xcontrol. It allows you to
switch on or off the keyboard click and bell, the internal loudspeaker, the
blitter and the cache. Perhaps the most useful feature is the ability to
switch off the hard drive and then switch it back on.
FULL RES V1.01 - Lets you get the maximum screen size out of an RGB monitor
or TV. It gives you 320x256, 320x512, 640x256 and 640x512 in place of the
standard 200 or 400 lines deep. NOT VGA.
LEDPANEL V3.0 - A graphic display in the top right of your screen indicates
reading and writing activity on any drive connected to your system.
MEGAFLI v1.1 by Racème Production - Lets you cut a large file into several
parts for backup purposes or to let you transfer between two computers
(assuming the original is too large to fit onto a floppy). You can of course
re-combine these with the supplied software. Since the suggested use is for
transferring between the Atari and PC, both versions of the program are
included.
MONPATCH v3.6 - Patches v3.01 and earlier of HiSoft's MonTT to allow it to
work in the Falcon's 'new' screen resolutions. You must have an original
copy of MonTT, otherwise this program is of no use to you! Source code
included.
NBCBSxxx V1.0 - A cache program with a difference. Simply replace the xxx
bit of the filename with the number of FAT/ROOT and DIR/DATA buffers you
require (in terms of sectors).
SHBUF 1.3 - Resizes the NewDesk.Inf buffers of GEM. The default is 16K
(normally 4K) but you can set it as high as 32K. You then need to copy GEM
to RAM using GEMRAM in order to make use of the new settings.
OVERSCAN - Allows you to switch overscan on and off from the Desktop. Simply
run this program, then change resolution to initialise GEM properly. NOT
VGA.
PS CONTROL V1.9 - Runs as a PRG or ACC under Multi-TOS and allows you to
change the priority setting of programs running under Multi-TOS, giving them
more, or less processor time.
RATE HD by ICD - Tests the speed of all hard drives connected to your Falcon
(both IDC and SCSI) and reports back the access time and data transfer rate.
RESO v1.0 by Binaris - A utility for programmers who regularly change video
modes. Simply set up the number of colours, number of columns, VGA or RGB
and interlace/double line on or off etc. Reso gives you the values for the
system variables Setmode and Setscreen. Reso does not check to see if the
mode is legal so don't try anything daft!
RES FOOLER V1.2 - This program attempts to tell your Falcon that you have a
different type of monitor connected. In other words you can fool the Falcon
into thinking that you have an RGB monitor instead of a TV. This allows many
'monitor only' demos to run. Also, you can connect up a multi-sync monitor
with a VGA cable but switch to RGB mode in software, without unplugging the
cable. It may even let some RGB only software run on VGA so long as they
don't use overscan.
SNDINIT v1.0 - Initialises the Falcon's soundsystem. However, what this
program offers over others is that you can also set the volume and switch
the internal loudspeaker on or off at bootup.
SVENSKA - Reconfigures your battery backed RAM so that all the keys on your
keyboard are where you would expect them to be on a Swedish ST.
SWABS - Allows a resolution of 1600x603 on multi-sync monitors. Don't try
using it on ordinary monitors or you could damage them!
SWITCH V1.01 - Allows you to switch off (and on) your internal hard drive.
WINTOTOP V1.0 - Brings the window under the mouse pointer to the top, under
Multi-TOS. WinToTop can be enabled and disabled from the keyboard. It only
runs with Multi-TOS.
PROFILE V1.5 by Mark Baines - This program is probably the most extensive
system analysis program available. It provides information on hardware, TOS,
memory, screen resolution, disk drives, operating system header block and
basepage, cartridge and control panel settings, important system
configuration addresses, DESKTOP.INF/NEWDESK.INF settings, vertical blank
interrupts, the cookie jar, environment variable strings, the complete
system variables contents and exception vectors. All data can be printed or
saved to disk.
CURTAINS 2 V1.5 - When activated, it flashes and a siren sounds every time
someone touches the keyboard or mouse. The display returns to normal and you
can access your computer when you enter the correct password!
FALCADAP - Instructions and a diagram showing you how to construct an
adaptor which will allow you to switch between RGB modes and VGA modes on a
multi-sync monitor. A certain amount of soldering is required so don't
tackle this unless you are competent.
MFSFM - A Shareware replacement file selector which is fully compatible with
Multi-TOS. This version only displays the first 30 files, the registered
version has no limit.
SAFE SAVER V1.2 - This monitor protector blanks out your screen after a
selected amount of inactivity from the keyboard or mouse, to prevent burn
in. However, although it blanks the screen, all other processes continue
uninterrupted. Ideal if you are transferring large files by modem or
raytracing.

זלללללללל¶
GEMRAM V1.5 - Copies GEM from ROM to RAM. This is necessary if you want to
apply custom patches to GEM such as WINX (on this disk), ARROWFIX or SHBUF.
Compatible with TOS v1.0 to 4.04.
WINX V2.2 - Patches GEM in RAM in conjunction with GEMRAM to give it many of
the functions built into Multi-TOS. Although the improvements are many and
varied, it allows you to have more windows open on the Desktop and lets the
right mouse button to perform extra functions.
GOSTE - Another small patch to make the Falcon's sound hardware STE
compatible.
DM2WORKS - Converts Data Manager files into Atari Works format.
DC SEA V2.0 - Converts any ARC, LZH, ZIP or ZOO file into a self extracting
archive. This allows you to simply double-click the file to extract its
contents. You can even specify where you want to archive extracted too. The
program also allows self extracting archives created by itself to be
converted back to ARC, ZIP, ZOO or LZH format as appropriate. Originally a
commercial release, now re-released as Shareware.
SETSWED by Copson Data - Reconfigures your battery backed RAM to give your
Falcon a Swedish keyboard layout.
MAKE CPX & CPX BUILDER - Everything you need to convert a ready compiled PRG
file into a CPX module for use with XControl.
GEN GDOS - Displays any GDOS font on screen or prints it to your printer. It
also informs you which model of Atari you are using, the version of TOS, the
AES and GEMDOS and some more information about your system. It also
distinguishes between GDOS, FontGDOS, FSM GDOS and SpeedoGDOS.
GEMAR V1.123 - A backup program for a SCSI tape streamer. It is GEM based
and features moveable dialog boxes so it's very easy to use. However, both
the program and docs are in German. Funnily enough, some of the text within
the program is in English.
SELETRIC V1.10 - A replacement file selector which offers more than most. In
fact it gives all the file handling capabilities of the GEM Desktop and
more. You can copy, delete, move or touch (set date and time stamp to
current date and time) files, create files and folders, show info (and
rename) any file or the current drive, and search for any file. Several
files may be selected for copying, moving and deleting and the total number
of files and combined size is displayed. The Desktop's sort option (or at
least a more flexible version of it) is included. Drives and paths are
quickly and easily swapped, file names are remembered through path changes
and much more. This is THE replacement file selector and you cannot afford
to be without it.
SYS CTL V1.23 - These programs monitor CPU useage under Multi-TOS. They are
more powerful than most offerings because they allow you to change the
priority rating of the different processes and send signals to individual
processes. All the usual information like process number, current status,
load on CPU and program size (in memory) are also displayed. The four
versions of Sys Ctl supplied each handle the task in a slightly different
manner. Unfortunately the docs are in German although most of the program is
in English. Sys Ctl only runs under Multi-TOS.

זלללללללל¶
THE ARCHIVERS COLLECTION - A collection of the latest versions of the best
archivers available. Although these are all ST programs, they run perfectly
on the Falcon without modification. Some do not run with Multi-TOS. In most
cases, we have supplied a GEM based shell program to help simplify their
use.
ARC v6.02 - Probably the best known of all archivers. This latest version
supports directory structures and is fully compatible with the PC version.
ARCShell v3.1 - Yet another revision of this ever popular GEM based shell
for using ARC and LZH. It supports every feature of ARC, LhArc and Quester's
LHarc formats as well as having a number of disk management utilities.
LH Arc V1.13c - The ST implementation of Yoshi's LhArc algorythm. It usually
gives better compression that ARC.
LHARC v2.01L by Thomas Quester's - This adaptation of the LHArc archiver is
much faster than other versions and supports a number of extra commands.
LHA v2.32 - Another adaption of the LHARC archiver by a different author.
This latest version is compatible with the original LHArc, v2.01 of
Quester's version and can handle lh5 compression as used on the PC. It works
fine with Arcshell v3.1 which is also on disk.
ZOO v2.1 - ST version of UNIX and IBM standard archive/unarchive utility
with full documentation. One of the benefits of Zoo is that it can often
recover good files from corrupt archives. Now Multi-TOS compatible.
STZIP v2.6 - The ST version of PKZIP (an archiver commonly used on the PC).
Fully compatible with PKZIP v2 and capable of creating self extracting
files. Fully integrated into its own GEM based shell. Multi-TOS compatible.
Probably the most widely used archiver on the Falcon.
SPLITIT - Splits up one large file into several smaller ones for sending
over the modem or backing up from your hard drive onto floppies. Works
well with any type of file including archived files.
ST UNARJ v2.30 - Unpacks or lists ARJ archives as created on the IBM PC.
ARJSHELL - An easy to use GEM based shell which simplifies the use of ST
UNARJ.
LZHSHELL v3.10 by Christian Grunenberg - Another adaption of the LHARC
archiver. This latest version is compatible with the original LHArc, v2.01
of Quester's version and can handle lh5 compression as used on the PC. It
comes with its own easy to use GEM based shell.
ESSCODE V6.4 - An implementation of the Uuencode/Uudecode protocol used for
converting binary files into ASCII for transmission across systems like
Internet which does not support binary transfer. The software also converts
them back to binary. This implementation is GEM based, Multi-TOS compatible
and much faster than previous versions.
MSHADOW v1.0 - Magic Shadow Archiver creates a compressed archive of a
complete floppy disk (including bootsector). Ideal for archiving all those
demos with executable bootsectors so that you can free up some disks. Now
fully Falcon and Multi-TOS compatible.

זלללללללל¶
ACCENT V3.02 - Allows you to type foreign characters using key combinations.
I believe it is only of use if you have a European (non UK) keyboard but I
could be wrong. Documented in French.
ALBION V1.07 - A handy utility which allows you to use characters not
normally allowed by TOS in file names, alter file attributes (including
hiding files from GEM), thrash files (delete them so that they cannot be
recovered), rename files, delete files and change the volume name of your
disk.
APPEND - Joins one file onto the end of another. Its main use is for
recombining archived files which have had to be split to fit onto floppy
disks.
ASCGIF - Converts a GIF picture into an ASCII representation. Useful for
previewing GIFs. ASCII
TABLE V1.0 - A CPX which displays all 256 ASCII characters along with their
decimal, hex, octal and binary equivalents.
COMPACT DIR V3 by Chet Walters - Allows you to print out a directory listing
from any drive from A to P using condensed print on an Epson compatible or
HP Deskjet. You can specify file types to match if desired. This version is
compatible with Atari's CDAR CD-ROM drive, so it 'should' be compatible with
other CD ROM drives which use MetaDOS. Conflicts with certain ACCs and Auto
programs, so best run on a clean system.
CFN2DMF - Converts Calamus fonts to PageStream format. You can even specify
font attributes such as bold, italic etc. Works on non-protected fonts of up
to 37k in size.
CLOGG V2.1A - A superb Desktop clock which displays at the top right hand
side in the menu bar. You can set it to display time, date, standard RAM,
alternative RAM or total RAM. Two displays can be selected and both are
displayed in the menu bar. If both displays are the same, it is shown only
once but at twice the size. One of the better Desktop clocks.
EPSXCVG - Converts PC and Mac EPS files and Adobe Illustrator format
graphics to Calamus CVG. It also converts CVG to EPS.
FALCON SX V0.9 - A useful ACC which allows you to set the CPU and blitter to
8Mhz or 16Mhz, set the bus to Falcon or STE, set the video frequency to 78hz
on multi-sync monitors, set the volume of the internal loudspeaker, switch
the internal hard drive on or off, connect ADC to DAC, examine the Cookie
Jar or examine the Crash Page.
FALCON SCREEN V2.0β by DNT - A modified version of Markus Gutschke's program
which allows you to achieve higher than normal resolutions on VGA monitors
(usually about 768x576 in up to 256 colours on a basic VGA) without
additional hardware. This version also works on RGB monitors (giving up to
1664x592 in 16 or 256 colours) and is NVDI compatible. Don't save your
selected configuration to your original copy, otherwise it will be fixed
permanently. USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK.
FUZZY CLOCK V1.14 by Stefan Radermacher - A Desktop clock with a difference.
It displays the time in the top right corner in the menu bar in words rather
than numbers (i.e. 10 past 12 or Ten past Twelve). Text can be configured
for English, German or Dutch. Updates every five minutes.
FILE CAT V1.4 - Creates an ASCII file showing the contents of all
directories on a specified disk or hard drive partition. When you next run
File Cat, as well as creating a new ASCII listing, it creates a 'delta' file
detailing the changes between the two lists. The program then backs up only
the files which have been changed as per the delta list. You directory
listing can also be printed from within the program.
FIX_FLOP - A TOS patch for TOS v2.06, 3.06, 4.01, 4.02 and 4.04 which
replaces the Getbpb routine for floppies, allowing them to correctly read
and write disks with 12-bit and 16-bit FATs as used by MS-DOS v5 and v6. It
also patches three other bugs in TOS.
FS_DUMP by M Soft - A screen grabber which dumps the contents of the screen
to a file on disk by pressing the ALT+HELP keys. It runs in any resolution,
supports screen enhancers such as BlowUp and ScreenBlaster and you can even
change resolution after it has been installed. It saves in a raw BLD format.
Does anyone know how to convert this to something useful?
GO_70HZ - Switches a VGA monitor from 50hz to 70hz in order to get a much
shaper picture. This is not a screen expander, in fact the screen area is
reduced. It uses the beta test routines from a hardware screen expander
called Screens Pain, which is being developed by the authors. Not suitable
for RGB monitors.
HICKORY V1.0 - Yet another clock program. This one is in a square faced
analog clock. It can be displayed in a window or on its own and can be re-
sized and moved to suit. It also allows you to set up an alarm.
HOW FAST V1.12 - Tests any selected drive and displays how fast it reads and
writes data on a graph.
BOOT INIT V1.1 - A CPX which allows you to alter various setting within the
Falcon's battery backed RAM. Use with caution.
OVERDESK V2.4 - Switches overscan, the cache, SpeedoGDOS, SAM and PAL/NTSC
on or off with this program. Please note that it only runs if you have a
hard drive attached (internal or external). RGB monitors only.
THE SAVER V1.0 - Yet another ST/E emulator which lets you set up the blitter
and CPU frequency, STE compatible addresses and the likes. This one reboots
the machine and can only be activated if the hard drive is switched off.
Press CTRL+ALT+CLR to bring up the menu. It looks very capable but the docs
are in French! RGB monitors only.
SCHALTER - An ACC which allows you to switch the internal speaker and IDE
drive on or off.
SEARCHER DELUXE V2.02 - Searches through all specified directories or drives
to find files which match your selected settings. Once found, you can get
info on them, delete them or alter the flags in the program headers.
SENTRY PACKER V2.20 - The latest version of this executable file cruncher.
It is cache friendly and includes a sample packing option and can depack its
own files (even those created on earlier versions). Very similar to Ice Pack
but with the option to specify the name and path for the packed file.
SJVGAFIX - An alternative loader program which lets you run the Space Junk
Demo on a VGA monitor.
SOUND THRU - Connects the microphone socket to the headphone socket so that
as soon as you start recording, you can hear the output. This program does
not slow down your system.
STATIC PLASMA by DNT - Writes a bootsector to your floppy which displays a
plasma effect in 65536 colours! Two types of bootsector are possible. The
first is a single plasma screen. The second consists of endless screens.
STOS FIXER V3.0 by Robert Quezada - This program fixes most STOS programs so
that they run correctly on the Falcon. Please note that fixed programs only
run on your own TOS version and no others. This is not a universal fixer
program.
TWOINONE V1.51e - An archiver shell which supports the ARC, ZIP, LHZ, ZOO
and ARJ archivers. It is similar in operation to the GEM shell used in ST
ZIP and is fully compatible with Multi-TOS and other multi-tasking operating
systems. Now supported in the UK by the InterActive Shareware scheme.
VOICEDEM - A demo of speech using the Falcon's audio sub-system. You can
type in a line of text and it will say it back to you. Speaks with a German
accent! Source code available from the author.
XB PATCH - Another Auto folder program designed to make the Falcon more
compatible than with the STE. Only works with TOS 4.02. 50_60HZ - Switches
your monitor's display from 50hz to 60hz and vice versa. RGB only.
RESETCOL - A tiny program which resets the colours on your Desktop to the
default colours. Useful for running after programs which mess up the palette
when they exit.
DCLOCKF V1.0 - An ACC which opens up a large window displaying a digital
clock. Requires at least a 16 mode. Click inside the window to display the
date.
SET_OVER and RESET_OV - These programs allow you to set overscan on or off
from the Desktop. Your screen will look at little odd at first so you will
have to change resolution (to any resolution) in order to re-initialise GEM
properly. NOT VGA.
SYS INFO V2.10 by Toad Computers - Originally designed as a modem tester
program for STraight FAX users. It has no evolved into a system checker. It
reads masses of information about your system set up and saves these details
to an ASCII file.

CD ROM - Atari's Falcon compatible CD-ROM driver for use with Multi-TOS. CV
CV TRANSLATOR v3.0 by Carlos Varela - A multi-language translation program
based on GER2ENG but now translating in both directions to/from from English
and German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese. The program
itself is very powerful but the dictionaries provided are very sparse as an
incentive to register. Registered users get extensive dictionary files.
DARK LORD V3.0 by Steve Pedler - An extensible screen saver which runs in
any resolution and fully supports all hardware and software screen
expanders. It is modular and modules may be swapped in and out to suit. You
can monitor activity from keyboard, mouse, midi or modem. Almost everything
can be configured to suit and there's even information on writing your own
modules.
GENEVA PATCH - This program patches v1.01 of the multi-tasking operating
system to v1.02. There are lots of improvements so it's worth your while
updating. Please note that you require an original copy of Geneva v1.01 for
this patch to be of any use to you.
MASTER BROWSE V4.9+ by ESS - Probably the best document displayer available.
It operates within a GEM window and allows you to search text, set markers,
select and print blocks and much more. It's very fast at loading text and
scrolling on screen. Master Browse can read text files from within archives
and can call up GEM-View to display picture files. It even runs under Multi-
TOS and can be installed as an alternative text file reader under Multi-TOS,
NeoDesk etc.
MASTER PRINT V1.0 by ESS - A cut down printing module from Master Browse. It
can be installed as the default file printer and can queue up files for
printing. Master Print operates within a GEM window and allows other
programs to run while it is printing. Fully Multi-TOS compatible.
PGS_CFG V1.0 - An easy to use shell program which lets you enable and
disable Pagestream import and export drivers with a few clicks of the mouse.
REVENGE DOCUMENT DISPLAYER V3.20 by Stuart Coates - A re-write of this fast
scrolling full screen file viewer which is now Falcon compatible. This
latest version allows numerous documents to be loaded (subject to memory)
and searches to be performed across all documents. Countless other features
have been added too. This is the program used on the Floppyshop catalogue
disk.

ACE FIX - Allows the game Steel Talons to be used with an ordinary joystick.
RUN VGA - An improved player program for running Black Scorpion's Morphing
Demo on a VGA monitor.
MORPH8.TGZ - Some copies of the Morphing Demo are reputed to have had a
damaged picture file. Here's a replacement for it.
NVDI FIX - Modifies NVDI v2.5 so that it will work with Easydraw and other
programs which open a virtual workstation with normalised device cordinates.
MAUS WINDOW V1.25 - Automatically selects the window under the mouse cursor
as you pass over it. There are a number of user configurable options and it
fully supports the new AES calls in the Falcon, WinX and Multi-TOS.
MOUSE KA MANIA II by Charles Johnson - A welcome upgrade to this popular
utility. The primary function of this program is to allow you to replace the
boring mouse pointer with an alternative one of your choice. It includes
countless pre-defined mouse cursors as well as a comprehensive editor which
allows you to create your own. If that's not enough, it even supports
animated mouse pointers and lets you set up a default mouse pointer to be
loaded at bootup. Source code can also be saved out in C, assembler or Basic
for incorporation into your own programs.
MULTIBLOW 030 v1.0 - Yet another resolution booster. However, this one is
different from the others. It only works on RGB monitors and all it does is
extend the scope of overscan to squeeze a little more into the screen. The
result is a readable screen display, unlike some of the other resolution
enhancers which produce such tiny text that it is unreadable.
PEEKABOO V1.7 - A file viewer which runs as an ACC or PRG and lets you
browse through ASCII or binary files in a GEM window. Searches can be made
on text or for ASCII characters within a binary file.
VECSHOW - Displays system vectors which have been altered since you switched
on your computer. Probably best run from a CLI as the output simply scrolls
up the screen and then the program exits.
VOL V1.09 by Roland Waldi - Allows you to alter the volume label of an drive
including hard drive partition. It also removes control blocks to get around
the 40 folder bug and gives information on the disk format and other vital
characteristics. Output can be sent to an ASCII file.
VOLUME by Murray Levine - A GEM based program where you simply click onto
the appropriate drive letter and enter the volume label you want to write to
it. Works on drives A to L.
VOLUME LABEL UTILITY V2 by Erin Monaco - A volume labeller with a
difference. It is set up in such a fashion that you can increment the disk
name or extension each time you put a new disk into the drive (i.e.
UTIL0001.DSK or UTILITY.001). What's more, you can specify the part of the
label to be incremented and specify the starting number.
XLATOR V2.04 by Gair Shields - An excellent foreign language translation
program which contains over 27,000 German to English translations. If it
doesn't know a word, you can even ask it to 'guess' its meaning. The program
is fully Multi-TOS compatible and has inbuilt support for several languages
but is only fully functional for German to English transklations at present,
although a smaller French to English dictionary is also supplied. A number
of other utilities are included for updating and maintaining your dictionary
files. In addition, you can use the supplied dictionary files to create
English to German and English to French dictionary. Very worthwhile if you
do a lot of translations. PLEASE NOTE: This is the FULL registered version
and is only available from Floppyshop.

THE SUPERCARD 3 BIBLE COLLECTION - This two disk set contains the complete
texts of The Old Testament and The New Testament (King James V edition) as
well as the unregistered version of the top selling card filing system
Supercard 3.12 from B.Ware Software. Unlike other bible collections, this
one has had every chapter and verse checked for accuracy and completeness.
The database is huge (around 4.5 Megabytes) and must be decompressed onto 4
HD floppies or a hard drive. Users with plenty of memory can merge the data
into two or three files to enable fast cross referencing throughout the
bible. However, these merged files can only be saved with the registed
version of Supercard 3 (£10 from the author). Another program is provided to
allow you to save out the text in 1st Word or ASCII formats although we're
sure you'd rather use Supercard 3! This is an excellent compilation for
clergymen, historians and scholars and demonstrates Supercard to its full
potential. What's more, loading the largest data file from hard drive takes
only a few seconds as do searches across the entire text!

DMV BOOT V1.1 - Run this program from an Auto folder. It allows you to alter
various settings to make Falcon more compatible with the STE. Your chosen
settings are then saved in the Newdesk.inf file.
EASYDAT v1.2 - A fast, easy to use GEM based database which runs in all
Falcon resolutions. It holds as much of the data file in memory as possible,
thus speeding up search times dramatically. The program is in English but
the docs are German. We've run them through a quick translation to give you
an idea how to get started.
MONOFIX - Fixes the problem where some older programs refuse to run on the
Falcon, saying that they only run in high res, even when you have an SM124/5
monitor connected.
POVSHELL V2.2 by Racème Production - A nice easy to use GEM based shell
which passes all the necessary parameters to POV Raytrace bypassing the need
to use a CLI.
TOCANTE - An ACC which displays a large digital clock in a moveable GEM
window, which can be positioned on screen to suit. Includes source code in C
and GFA Basic.
PRIMA V2.1 - Yet another GEM based shell designed to make POV Raytrace much
easier to use. This one supports both POV v1 and v2.
TRUEDISK V2.1 - A reset resistant ramdisk which can be run in normal or
alternative memory. You can change the size to suit and two utilities are
supplied which allow you to zero its contents or remove it from memory.
XTASK V2.13 by Gary Priest - A nice easy to use graphical front end for
controlling tasks running under Multi-TOS. It allows you to alter the CPU
time designated to a process, kill a process or even put a process on hold
temporarily. Xtask includes extensive on-line Help and is a joy to use.
ZX SPX V2.07 by Christian Gandler - A ZX Spectrum emulator for the Falcon.
It seems like a silly thing to do but is works! In fact some programs run
faster under emulation than they did on the original Spectrum. Simply run
the INSTALL.PRG and the complete system (about 1.2 Meg's worth) will be
installed to the path of your choice. As well as the main emulator program,
there's countless utilities which can all be integrated using the supplied
shell. Several different modes of emulation are possible by choosing the
settings which best suit individual programs. The joystick interface is
emulated, supporting all four types of joystick. The notorious microdrive
cartridges are emulated too! Printer output is redirected to the parallel or
serial port (you choose) so that you can get printouts from Spectrum
programs. This emulator also supports the snapshot files used by Amiga and
PC Spectrum emulators. You will need to have access to a 'real' Spectrum
with an interface 1 if you want to transfer more programs across. The
documentation is excellent and runs to about 90k! A number of Spectrum
programs are also included on disk.

EVEREST v3.6E - A nice easy to use Shareware text editor which is fully GEM
based. It allows up to 10 windows to be open at once and has most of the
features of a dedicated word processor. GDOS fonts are supported if GDOS or
SpeedoGDOS is installed and even the system font can be scaled to suit.
Almost everything can be customised to suit and settings can be saved.
Everest supports keyboard macros, Multi-TOS and the GEM Clipboard.
Floppyshop have obtained special permission from the author to distribute
this program.
AHDICONF - Allows you to configure Atari's AHDI hard drive handler (v5.0 or
later) to your own requirements. Sector size can be up to 16K (supporting
drive capacities of up to 512 Mb), you can boot from any partition, you can
decide which SCSI numbers are to be checked for (it usually only checks them
sequentially) and specify the number of folders which may be opened (you
don't need FOLDRXXX.PRG anymore).
ARROWFIX V1.5 - Fixes a few bugs in GEM which relate to the handling of
mouse events. The most notable of these is that it prevents single clicks
being interpreted as double-clicks when using the scrollbars on GEM windows.
Only works if GEMRAM (on UTL.4340) is installed.
F030_CD - A collection of programs specifically associated with using a CD-
ROM drive connected to your Falcon. CD PLAYER - Plays music CD's on a
computer based CD-ROM drive. Multi-TOS compatible. Requires ICD Pro
utilities v6.0 or later. CD_PLAY - Allows you to play music CD's on a
Toshiba CD-ROM drive (may also work with others). Can be run as a PRG or
ACC. METADOS V2.7 - Atari's CD-ROM driver software. Works with the CDAR504
and all SCSI based ISO 9660 mechanisms. Includes a new driver to allow it to
run on the Falcon. AUDIO CD V2.0 - Plays music CD's on any SCSI based CD-ROM
drive. Runs as an APP or ACC. SCSI_DRV - A low level SCSI driver for a CD-
ROM drive. CD_ENV - Works in conjunction with the SCSI driver but I'm not
exactly sure of its purpose as docs are in German.
GAMEFIX - Yet another STE emulator which allows some incompatible games to
run on the Falcon. It looks quite comprehensive but the text being in German
doesn't help much! Includes source code and library files in C and
assembler.
GAPOSCAN - A small program which forces your Falcon into overscan mode. RGB
ONLY.
TOS4TRAP - Fixes certain GEMDOS bugs which are present in TOS v4 upwards.
This makes certain programs such as STalker, NEODesk (prior to v4),
MaxiFile, Desk Manager and others from behaving differently under TOS 4 to
how they perform on the ST.
FALCVOLU - Switches the volume setting to '0' for the internal speaker.
VOXMAIL V0.99 by Michael Fung - A Shareware voice mail system. This program
acts like an advanced telephone answering machine, allowing you to record
different outgoing messages and saving incoming messages to disk. The
program is undergoing continued development and there's some pretty advanced
features promised for the future. This Shareware version is fully
operational but you will need to register in order to get the necessary
hardware to interface between the Falcon and the telephone line. Requires a
hard drive.
OCR v1.4D by Alexander Clauss - An optical character recognition program. It
reads in IMG files created by scanners and converts any text within them
into ASCII so that it can be saved to disk and edited within your favourite
word processor. You are prompted to enter the ASCII equivalent of any letter
not recognised and these are built up into libraries for future use. This
means that the next time you encounter that letter in the document, it will
be recognised. By saving libraries at the end of each session, character
recognition will be much faster next time as OCR will already 'know' the
relevant font. Where a font is such that it is difficult to tell certain
characters from each other (eg: 1 and l) you can instruct OCR to guess the
correct character based upon the other characters surrounding it. This is a
very powerful program which is on a par with many commercial offerings, yet
it is easy to understand and a joy to use. Obviously you will need some sort
of mono scanner in order to scan the text you intend to use. OCR will run on
a 1 Meg system but some scans may be too large to load without additional
memory. On-line Help in ST Guide (not included) format. Very highly
recommended.

A2LSWTC2 - Converts LHArc archives to ARC format and vice versa. Really
useful if you like to have all your files archived in the same format.
Obviously you need both the archivers as well, in order to use this
conversion utility.
ARC2LZH3 - Allows you to convert entire directories of LHArc archives to ARC
format and vice versa. You can also extract the files from the archives,
test archives, list their contents and create self extracting LZH files or
convert self extracting LZH's back into normal archives. You obviously need
the relevant archivers and self-extracting conversion programs as well.
ARJPACK - A nice easy to use version of ARJ, one of the common packers on
the PC. Although there's an Unarj program on the ST, this is probably the
first to create ARJ archives.
AHDI2IDE - A patch program which identifies an IDE drive and allows you to
format it to AHDI specifications I think (it's all in French!). C and
assembler source included.
BARCODE - Generates barcodes using a Panasonic video recorder and barcode
readers. The docs are in German so it's difficult to work out just how it
operates.
BOOT TOS - Allows you to boot up a disk based version of TOS (probably 4.04
or 4.92) from hard disk instead of floppy.
BOXKITE V1.61 - A replacement file selector which is very similar to
Selectric. Boxkite offers most of the Desktop's standard functions (copy,
move, delete, rename etc) from the file selector, supports long filenames
under MinixFS, has keyboard shortcuts, pop up menus and much more. In
addition, the file selector can be resized like a window to display more (or
less) info on the files.
CACHE OUT - Lets you enable or disable the cache. Very useful when run as an
ACC.
CHOOSE INF - Runs from an Auto folder and lets you choose which NEWDESK.INF
to boot up with.
DUPLICATION MASTER V1.13 - A very good disk copier. It reads the source disk
and allows you to make as many copies as you like. It also formats disks.
Its strongest feature is that it can save out the disk's in a single file
and restore it again at a later date. It makes it useful for storing backups
on hard drive and restoring them quickly.
FLC_BOOT - Writes an executable bootsector to a floppy, which restores the
non-volatile RAM settings to their factory defaults.
FUSS V1.0 - A screen grabber program which runs in any resolution. Simply
hit ALT+HELP after installation and the screen will be saled to disk. A
viewer program is included and there's info on the file format used. Docs in
French.
GFA PTCH - Various patches and bug fixes for the GFA compiler, interpreter
and libraries from v3.0 to v3.6.
GEMSPOOL V3.3 - A printer spooler with a difference. Rather than set aside
an area of memory to 'feed' the printer, it actually writes the file to disk
and feeds that to the printer. The benefit is that very little memory is
consumed and the spooler obviously survives a system crash. This Shareware
version has several limitations. Well worth registering.
NVR_CTRL - Resets your non-volatile RAM to the factory presets. Simply click
onto the relevant country for the Desktop and keyboard configurations.
OUT2LOD - Converts OUT format DSP code produced by some DSP assemblers into
the LOD format used on the Falcon.
U2D - Converts Unix ASCII files into DOS format i.e. makes them readable on
an Atari.
OVERCADR v1.4x - An ACC which lets you grab hold of the screen display and
move it around the monitor! Its purpose seems to be to let you line up the
screen display so that it is not disappearing off the top, bottom or sides
of the monitor. Your settings can be saved back in a PRG file which, when
placed in an Auto folder, ensures that the screen is located correctly on
the monitor each time you boot up. Especially handy for lining up the
display on monitors which do not have external adjusters.
PC_MOUSE - Allows you to use a PC mouse (with a 9-pin D type connector) on
your Falcon.
SM BLASTER - Gives SM124/125/144 monitor owners a greater resolution on the
Falcon. Instead of the normal 400 lines deep, you can get up to 560 without
interlace or 1120 with interlace! It also supports a virtual screen manager
so the screen can be any size, subject to memory.
TAV_OVR - Yet another program for putting your Falcon into overscan mode.
VIDEL - Displays the default settings of your video chip and allows you to
tamper with them to find the maximum resolution your monitor can handle.
Really more of a programmer's tool than anything else.
VMEM 1.1 - Virtual memory driver which works on any Atari. It operates by
setting up a swap file on disk and a buffer in memory and paging information
between them. Full source code in Pure C and assembler is included. It
appears that it only works if you are running applications which support it,
hence the inclusion of the source code. The German docs are a bit cryptic to
understand, but there is a short doc in English which explains what it's all
about.

HP LASERJET 4L & 4P PRINTER CONTROLLER v1.5 by Frank Storm - Lets you set up
more or less all of the Laserjet's features from software. You can specify
number of copies, lines per page, landscape or portrait, automatic or manual
feed, 8 paper sizes, economy mode on/off, toner intensity, international
character set to be used and which of the eight inbuilt fonts you wish to
use. In addition, you can download soft fonts to the printer. There are 24
fonts supplied on disk and a further 15 on FNT.4802. Multi-TOS compatible.
We have translated the menus into English and there's a translated Help file
from an earlier version on disk. The docs are in German but, as its a GEM

ASSIGN-ED - An easy to use GEM based program which allows you to add or
delete fonts from your ASSIGN.SYS file using simple mouse clicks, rather
than having to type it all in from a text editor. It also lets you see what
the font looks like using some example text. Multi-TOS compatible too.
BMAPFIX2 - Fixes bugs in the Bconmap in the Falcon. You will need this patch
if you are having problems with the serial port.
SET TIME V1.32 - A small Auto folder patch which displays the current time
and date at boot up. Hold down ALT if you want to change the setting,
otherwise ignore it and the bootup process continues after a few seconds.
CPX SPY v1.11 by Gary Priest - Displays the version numbers of all CPX files
on your system. This allows you to easily distinguish which are newer
versions of CPXs that you already have. You can also view a CPXs attributes,
change directory and copy new CPXs into your usual CPX folder. Multi-TOS
compatible.
DOPPELKLICK - Makes a right-click emulate a double-click. In other words you
can click once on the right button instead of twice on the left!
POWER MOUSE V1.3 - Allows you to use an Atari Powerpad (as supplied with the
Jaguar) instead of a mouse. Power Mouse allows the Powerpad to be used in
any application which normally uses a mouse.
TURBO BLANKER V1.42e - A terminal protector. It blanks the screen after a
specified period of inactivity in order to prevent 'burn in'. What's more,
it actually claims to speed up background activities taking place while the
monitor is 'asleep'.
TOS4FIX by Charles F Johnson - Fixes several small bugs introduced into
Falcon TOS which prevent some older programs from operating correctly.
VERICARD - Type in a credit card number and this program will tell you
whether or not it is a valid number. Useful for mail order firms.
WHATIS V6.7 by Bill Aycock - A file identifier which recognises over 160
different types of files. Really useful if a program reports that a file is
of the wrong type, Whatis will tell you exactly what type of file it is! It
handles WP files, executable files, archived files, picture files,
compressed executables, resource files, DTP files and much more.
ICDRAW v1.42 by Dr Bobware - Now you can finally edit those 16 colour
Desktop icons on your Falcon. In fact you can create brand new ones or add
some from the 101 which are supplied on disk. This is a very well presented
icon editor which features many of the tools you would expect to find in a
commercial program. It is designed to load in your standard DESKICON.RSC
file for editing but can also accept icons from any RSC file containing 16
colour icons and it can import ICO files from MS Windows on the PC. A
Quality piece of Shareware.
RSC_XPAND v1.01 - Expands the size of your DESKICON.RSC file in order to
make room for you to add extra icons.
ICON PAGER V1.02 - Displays all ICDRAW icons in a specified folder and lets
you page through them.
WICOPAGE v1.02 - Displays all 32x32 MS Windows icons in a specified folder
and lets you page through them.
ST GUIDE v1.5E - Probably the best Hypertext clone around. Like all the
others, it reads in a text file and highlights keywords. These can be
clicked to take you to linked areas of the document. You can page back and
forth and cross reference from one topic to another. ST Guide scores over
the competition in many ways. It can be run as a program or ACC and handles
graphics are well as text. It comes with a limited amount of C source code
and a utility to convert any ASCII file into the required format so that you
can create your own Hypertext documents. It is Freeware, it's extensively
documented and it's a complete implementation. Now in English.
E_DICT 95 by Charles Edwards - A German to English translation program with
a difference. Having looked at the available German/English translation
programs when translating the main manual for GEM-View, the author of E_DICT
found them less helpful than he had hoped. He has devised E_Dict in such a
manner that the computer's speed in looking up words in an Atari oriented
onboard dictionary is complemented by the user's sense of context in
deciding which of the displayed definitions will be included in the output
English text. Another thing which makes E_DICT different is that it does not
contain a massive dictionary. Instead it handles the most commonly used
words as well as many German technical terms. This Shareware version only
gives translations on the first 1000 characters within the file. The
registered version handles translations of any length.

CHICFONT - Replaces the Desktop font with a Mac font. It should run from
Auto but regrettably only works from the Desktop on a Falcon!
BLINEX V1.6 - Removes unnecessary blank lines from ASCII files, therefore
saving paper. It also converts Unix ASCII and Mac ASCII files to DOS format
so that they can be read on an Atari. It also handles the conversion
between ASCII characters which fall in different positions on the different
systems. Now contained in an easy to use GEM based shell.
PCORRECT by Adam Millard-Ball - Accepts an ASCII file and attempts to
'correct' it to be politically correct i.e. inoffensive to anyone! More of a
laugh than anything else.
TRASHCAN - A recoverable Trashcan which allows you to undelete files by
copying them out of the Trash directory. You need to empty the Trashcan in
order to permanently delete files.
SPRINT v1.2 by Kelvin Unsworth - A handy printer spooler which speeds up
output to most printers in much the same manner as FPPRINT, except that it
operates as a sooler too. Most spoolers send just one byte per interrupt
which generally slows down output as the printer can usually run much faster
Sprint can send up to 1000 bytes per interrupt, thus speeding up output
dramatically. Almost everything in Sprint can be configured to suit your own
system setup.
BIRDS WINGS V1.12 - A virtual screen emulator for the Falcon. It allows you
to create your own screen resolutions of whatever dimensions and number of
colours you want. The only limitation is memory as the bigger the screen,
the more memory it consumes. The more colours you use, the more memory that
consumes too. Your screen scrolls up, down, left or right as the mouse
reaches the edges of the physical screen. Scrolling is VERY smooth and the
use of Birds Wings does NOT slow down your Falcon noticeably. Unfortunately
the program and docs are in French but everything is easily worked out.
EDOS_121 - Patches all versions of the CD-ROM driver software ExtenDOS up to
1.20 to v1.21. Obviously you will require an original copy of ExtenDOS in
order to use this patch. This patch removes some bugs from v1.20 and adds
Photo CD support.
FILY 4 - A replacement text file viewer with pop-up menus which runs under
Multi-TOS. As well as letting you move backwards and forwards, Fily 4 allows
blocks of text to be sent to the clipboard, saved to disk or printed out.
SYNERGY DEPACKER V2.2 - Depacks executables and data files packed with over
thirty of the leading packer programs. Quite a number of user options and
now fully Falcon and Multi-TOS compatible.
PACSHELL V3.01 - A GEM based shell which handles archives created with most
popular archivers. You can compress or decompress files using Uuendcode,
Compress, Zoo, Zip, LHarc or Tar and decompress files created with Arc and
Arj. Other useful utilities such as ZIP2TOS, AFX and SFX can be used to
create self-extracting archives. You will need a copy of all the relevant
archiver programs and must specify their locations under the configuration
menu entry. Even without the external archivers, you can still view the
directory structure of any supported archive type.
ROMSPEED V3.1 - Copies ROM to RAM in order to speed up system calls. It also
allows you to apply patches to TOS which cannot obviously be applied when
running TOS from ROM. It serves the same purpose as GEMRAM on F.4340 and
patches which work with GEMRAM should also work with ROMSPEED.
SET MEMTEST V1.05 - Allows you to switch the memory test on or off. You can
have the normal memory test and wait, memory test only or no delay at all.
As this information is stored in non-volatile RAM, your setting will be more
or less permanent.
STE2FALC V1.1 - Yet another STE emulator which claims to make some STE
software run on the Falcon. This one also allows you to emulate a Mega STE.
STOOP V1.05 by Phil Hodgkins - A Shareware boot manager which allows you to
decide which resolution to boot up in, which ACC, PRG and CPX programs to
load up at boot time and so on. It is particularly useful in that it allows
groups to be specified and these can be selected with a click of the mouse.
The 3D interface is very smart and there's lots of user options. Undoubtedly
the very best boot manager for the Falcon. Some options are disabled in this
Shareware version.
STOSFIX V3 by Robert Quezada - Patches STOS programs to run on the Falcon.
Unfortunately, it only patches for the TOS version in your machine, rather
than being a patcher for all TOS versions. So far, this is the most
successful program of its type. This version requires a maths coprocessor.
STDCAT V5.3B - Probably the best disk cataloguing program around. It reads
the directories of your disks and stores the details in a file. You can add
your own comments to files or disks and browse through the directories
manually or get the program to search for a particular program. The easy way
to keep track of your files on both floppies and hard drives.
SYSINFO by Christophe Boyanique - Performs an extensive system check and
saves out an extensive listing of your system set up, system variables,
contents of the cookie jar and just about everything else you can think of.
He has also included a listing of the commonly used cookies (on all Ataris),
their IDs and their meanings.
TURBO VEILLE v1.12 - A terminal protector (screen blanker) and screen
accelerator. Yes, it actually claims to be able to speed up screen redraws.
It's not as good as NVDI, but it is Freeware! Program and docs in French.
WAKE UP V1.0 - An Auto folder program which switches the CPU and blitter to
16Mhz and switches on all caches. Handy if these have had their settings
changed eg; for ST emulation.
THE WINNERS ENCLOSURE v2.4 by J S Cowper - A Shareware horse racing
prediction program. It predicts the winners of races from its own internal
data. Registered users get a copy of the exhaustive database containing
details on top horses, trainers and jockeys and the ability to update it,
along with a number of other features including advice on how much to bet on
individual horses. Don't expect to become a millionaire, but it's worth a
try!

supports the 68881 maths coprocessor. Fractals can be zoomed at any position
as well as created from scratch.
SAFEMENU - Allows you to change the behaviour of menus in GEM applications
and make them less likely to be activated by mistake. Menus can be made pull
down (as opposed to drop down) like the Mac, activated by the right mouse
button or activated only when the mouse touches the upper half of the menu.

each partition of your hard drive, using a bar graph. It also displays free
memory against total memory.
DIVERSES v1.12 by Michael Zuhl - Another multi-purpose CPX. It reads the
time from your clock card if you have one and allows you to set up an alarm.
It also converts printer codes into Epson compatible ones and lets you
switch between 50hz and 60hz in colour.
PING v1.01 by Michael Zuhl - A CPX which installs a sound sample of your
choice (one is provided) to replace the system bell sound.
DISK v1.02 by Michael Zuhl - A disk utility which allows you to set the step

IDT V1.0 - Installs the International Date & Time cookie in the Cookie Jar.
The IDT cookie defaults to the international date and time convention
relevant for your country as read from your TOS version. This CPX lets you
change it to display the date and time according to your own preference and
save these as default.
BOOT INIT V1.1 - A CPX which allows you to alter various setting within the
Falcon or TT's battery backed RAM. Use with caution.

it's impossible to say for sure.
HD&MEM FREE V1.2 by Ghostbyte - Displays two bar graphs, one showing the
space used and space free (in megabytes) on your hard drive and the other
showing the same for memory. Double click onto any displayed bar to get a
read out of the exact figures relating to that partition (or your memory).
PALETTE ALBUM V1.0 - Displays your entire colour palette (for resolutions
with up to 256 colours) . Although you cannot change the values, you can
save preferred palettes and reload them at a later date in order to change
your Desktop colours. It will automatically load up a palette named
DEFAULT.PAL at boot up if it is located in your CPX directory.
INVERT V1.0 by Jan Borchers - A game in which your aim is to turn all the
squares black. It's not as easy as it sounds.
KALENDAR V1.0 by Aller Heilegen - Another simple yet effective calendar

HEWLETT PACKARD DESKJET/LASERJET PRINTER SUPPORT DISK #1 - A collection of
printer drivers and other utilities for the HP Deskjet and Laserjet series
of printers. This disk contains the full contents of HP Support Disks #1 &
#2 from our ST catalogue. Here's what's on offer.
Printer drivers for 1st Word/1st Word Plus, ST Writer, Calamus, ST Sheet,
Fleet Street Publisher v1.2, Fleet Street 3 and TEX.
Six screendump programs for various resolutions.
BOOKER - Prints out text files using a small font and printing 4 pages to
each A4 sheet. The pages are printed in such a manner so that when you
collate and fold them, they will all be in the correct order.
DJBOTH V1.6 - Allows you to print an ASCII file using both sides of the
paper. It automatically selects the appropriate sized font and page
orientation in order to minimise paper consumption. DJBOTH will also allow
you the option of printing your text using two columns and can produce A5
size booklets in much the same manner as Booker.
HARLEKIN 500 - Two printer drivers which allow you to use the Deskjet 500's
internal fonts and apply various supported print options to your text. With
them, you can apply bold or italic attributes, wrap around characters which
fall past the edge of your paper, print foreign characters, perform a self
test, perform a reset and so on. In addition, you can use the two inbuilt
fonts at two different sizes. You need the desk accessory Harlekin in order
to make use of these drivers.
HP2XX - Reads in an HPGL ASCII source file and converts it to Metafont, PCL
(for use on Deskjet), PostScript, IMG or PCX format. Rather tricky to use,
but it does the job.
JETEMU V1.1 - A page preview program for Deskjets. It displays a PCL III
file from disk to the screen in sections. It is handy for error checking
before sending your data to the printer. Also, if the Deskjet misbehaves, it
is more than likely due to corruption in the file and this program makes it
easy to track down what part of your file is corrupt.
MINIPRINT - Yet another of those programs which attempts to squeeze as much
print onto a sheet of paper as possible. It supports two column printing,
landscape printing, line numbering, headers, user tab settings, setting of
top and bottom margins, different fonts and point sizes and much more.
OUTBURST - Speeds up printing to HP printers by a factor of as much as 20 to
1! Written by the author of FPPRNT, it even beats that incredibly fast
patch. It also reduces the time taken by PageStream to print a page from 301
seconds down to just 14! This is an evaluation demo and you really need to
order the full version for regular use.
PRHP V1.2 - Allows printing in various modes in portrait or landscape
formats. You can have up to 154 characters across the page in portrait mode
and up to 204 in landscape. Up to 120 lines per page can be printed in
portrait mode and up to 84 in landscape. Numerous other options are also
available.
Various miscellaneous utilities to allow you to print out a Degas picture,
emulate an Epson MX-80, download alternative font sets, reset the printer,
print out labels, address envelopes and so on.
HPACCS by V Illich - A collection of useful programs all by the same author,
some of which are specific to HP printers and others which are not.
PASSWORT - Protect any drive from unauthorised access using this password
protection program.
SHUTZ - A terminal protector program for mono monitors.
SPOOLER - A printer spooler which also allows you to convert printer codes
to suit your printer.
ST DESK - A boot up utility which lets you save configuration files for
different setups. Oddly enough, it runs as an ACC.
ZEITANZ - A Desktop clock which displays in the top right of your screen.
HP_HARD - Allows you to perform screendumps to a Deskjet/Laserjet at sev
eral different resolutions up to a maximum of 300dpi.
P6_TO_DJ - An NEC P6 emulator for the Deskjet. Yes you can print graphics at
360 dpi with this one! An invaluable program if you have an application
which does not have a Deskjet driver. Please note that this is not a
complete implementation as it only emulates the P6's graphic commands.
HP_PRINT - Gives you access to all the Deskjet's capabilities including
small font sizes, landscape printing and two column printing.
AUTOBUP - Allows you to archive hard drive backups. It doesn't carry out the
backups themselves, merely archives them. You need a copy of your preferred
archiver to use this program.
MINIDESK - Lets you create your own Desktop icons and place them on the
Desktop. A sort of cut down version of Terradesk or KAOSDesk. This disk has
just about every program you'll ever need to use a Deskjet or Laserjet on
your ST.

SPLITTER V2.0 - Allows large files to be split up into several pieces and
rejoined at a later date. Ideal for backing up large files from hard disk to
floppy or simply for redistributing files which are too large to fit on a
floppy. Runs from an Easy to use GEM based shell. PC version also included
for cross machine transfer.
GREPIT V2.01 by Hermann Wierl - A GEM based Shareware implementation of the
Unix utility Grep. Its purpose is to search for matching patterns or ASCII
strings within files. The program is very extensive and includes its own
built-in on-line help. On of its main selling points is its ability to
search through files which are larger than available memory.
GHOSTLINK V1.02ß - Allows you to connect up a PC (in fact up to three PCs)
to your Atari and address it as a slave device. In simple terms, this allows
you to access any data on the PC's storage devices (floppy drives, hard
drives, CD-ROM, Syquests etc) and read the data directly into the Atari as
if that drive were connected to it. A possible use might be to load a
picture from a CD-ROM drive on the PC directly into GEM-View for conversion
and then save it out onto your Atari hard drive. The possibilities are
limitless! You will require a null modem cable to connect the two machines
together. The PC software required is also included.
EGALE V1.52 by Christof Schardt - A Shareware file comparison utility which
compares any two text or program files and displays them side by side in a
split screen GEM window. Up to sixteen pairs of files can be opened
simultaneously and you can select to have either similarities OR differences
highlighted. You can even perform searches on the files. Simply the best
file comparison utility on Atari computers. Multi-TOS compatible.
CD LIST V0.2 by Keith Lord - Allows you to play audio CDs on CD-ROM players
which are not SCSI II compliant and therefore fail to play music will any of
the other players available. It was designed to work with the IBM 7210,
Toshiba XM 3131 and Toshiba XM 3232 drives although it will probably work
with others too.
MED NET - Networking software which allows you to connect two Atari
computers (ST, TT, Falcon or any combination of these) together and access
all drives on them as if they belonged to the same system. Connection is
performed via the Midi ports. Especially handy if one system has a hard
drive and the other does not.
AW TEMPLATES by Michael Herbert - A collection of templates complete with
extensive documentation, for use with Atari Works.
AW CHECK REGISTER - Spreadsheet and database templates to help you create a
simple cash accounting system for home or small business use.
AW LANDSCAPE PRINTER ALIGMENT AID - An AW doc file describing how to set up
a page to print out correctly in landscape format from Atari Works.

quality business cards.
AW FLORA - A collection of 28 floral clip art designs for use in your own
documents.
AW FRAME - A collection of twelve complete decorative border frames for use
in Atari Works documents.
AW INVOICE - A template for printing blank invoices and a spreadsheet file
for creating the necessary data to import into the template.
AW PRINTER ALIGNMENT - Atari Works has problems setting the printer margins
correctly when border graphics fill the entire page. This doc explains a way
around the problem and a dummy template is supplied for you to adjust to
suit your own printer.
AW RECIPES - A database file set up for you to enter your favourite recipes
into. Also included is a template for importing your database entries into
so that they can be printed out in a professional looking manner.
AW RULERS - Two transparent rulers for use in Atari Works as aids to page
layout.
AW SCRAPBOOK - An AW doc and blank templates designed to help you create
your own scrapbook of GEM graphics which can then be easily imported into
your AW documents. A sample file containing a decorative alphabet is also
supplied.
AW COLUMNS - A template for creating two column text in Atari Works.
AW PATCH - Patches Codehead Software's Hotwire program to make it compatible
with Atari Works.

VOYAGER 3.1A LIGHT - A cut down Shareware version of a tri-lingual (English,
French and German) astronomy (stargazing in layman's terms) program. This
version is limited in that you cannot save, print or animate. You are also
restricted to 15 minutes' use per session and calculations cannot be
performed for dates later than the end of 1994. Registration costs only £10.
You can compute the ephemeris of planets, comets and asteroids and you can
choose the place, time zone, atmospheric refraction etc; from where to base
your computations. Recapitulative boards for ephermis and rising and setting
of planets can be displayed as can the curves of visibility for planets. You
can also calculate the time for photographic exposures in accordance with
your instruments and camera. The phase and scale of planets can also be
compared. These are only a handful of the features of this program, which
currently offers the most comprehensive scientific data on astronomy (not to
be confused with astrology) available. What's more, it is contained in a
nice easy to use futuristic style GEM based shell and everything is
accessible either from icons on screen from from the drop down menus. The
light version is aimed at the hobbyist and a pro version (not to be confused
with the registered version) is available from the author for those who need
extra features.
NO MEMTEST by Apache of TNB - Another of those programs which switches off
the memory test on the Falcon to speed up boot up time.
NEO4ICON by Lou Trapani - A collection of 16 colour icons for use with
Gribnif's NEODesk 4.
DBICONS - A collection of 16 colour icons converted from the PC for use with
Gribnif's NEODesk 4.
LZHSHELL V3.10 - The latest version of the LZH archiver from Christian
Grunenberg, complete in its own easy to use GEM based shell which is closely
modelled on that used by ST Zip. This latest version understands all the
common variants of LZH compression from the original LHArc v1.13 and Thomas
Quester's improved LZH versions 2.0x to the latest LH5 compression used on
the PC. Although the help text is in German, the program itself is in
English and therefore simple to use.
GETRES0M - Intercept calls to Getrez() and returns a zero. In simple terms,
it allows many games which meant to run in low res only to be run in any 16
colour 80 column mode. Multi-TOS compatible. Assembler source included.
DL3_9999 by T Smith - A nice easy to use GEM based directory lister program.
You can select any drive from A to P and print out a directory listing to
printer or save it to disk. In addition, you can specify what data (file
size, date/time stamp, user comments etc) is to be included within the
listing.
CRYPTON V1.99 - A hard disk utility program which allows you to display
drive usage, fragmentation and so on along with detailed statistics on drive
usage, free space and fragmentation. Your hard drive may also be optimised
to improve performance (the main purpose of the program). Regrettably the
program, although GEM based, is all in German and a little cryptic to
understand! Please note that the install program allows you to sopecify
drives which must not be accessed such as partitions used by PC and Mac
emulators.
1ST GUIDE v06/97 - An ACC/PRG/GTP which acts as a Hypertext system with the
primary purpose of allowing you to access on-line help files within GEM
based programs. In addition to acting as a comprehensive Hypertext system,
1st Guide can also be used as a file viewer for ASCII and 1st Word/Wordplus
documents and (X)IMG, IFF, JPG, PNG, GEM and MPG movies (incl audio), RSC
files containing icons and play sampled sounds in SAM, SND and AVR formats.
1st Guide is Shareware and registration unlocks various features disabled in
this version including the ability to create your own on-line help files.
You can also print out files if you have GDOS or SpeedoGDOS installed. Short
English instructions are included with this version. Registration in UK now
available through InterActive.

OASES (formerly OMEn) V3.39 by Esquimalt Digital, Canada - Yet another
multi-tasking operating system for Atari computers. However, this one is
unique in many ways. It totally replaces TOS and GEM with its own window
based system which takes a little getting used to. OASES itself is one of
the smallest multi-tasking systems around, due to the fact that it is
written in 100% assembler. It is therefore very economical by way of memory
consumption, making it possible for you to multi-task small programs on a
1Mb Falcon! Not only is OASES a nice and easy to use operating system, it is
also portable across hardware platforms. OASES is also available for the
Apple Macintosh with PC and Amiga versions currently under development and
more platforms likely to be added in the future. A program written for OASES
on the Falcon will run faultlessly under OASES on any machine! Please note
that OASES does not run GEM programs directly but it is possible to write
OASES programs or convert GEM ones using the OASES Software Development
Package also on disk. Several OASES programs including a sector editor,
memory editor, word processor, digitiser (needs Vidi ST), text converter
(OASES to/from ASCII, RTF or HTML), picture converter (OASES Bitmap to/from
BMP, TGA or Degas) and a few other useful utilities are supplied with the
package. Further OASES software will be added to our collection as it
becomes available. This demo version does not allow you to save files
exceeding 1K in length, but is otherwise fully usable. To use the system
seriously you will have to order the licenced version which comes complete
with an extensive manual on disk. It is available directly from Floppyshop.
See PRODUCTS section for more details.
OASES SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT v1.52 by Esquimalt Digital - The full (3
disk)version allows you to write your own OASES software or adapt your
existing code to make it compatible with OASES. OASES programs written and
compiled on the Falcon will run under OASES on the Amiga, Mac and PC without
modification. The disk comprises of the full (all 12 chapters!) programmers'
manual, the system equates file and some example source code. This disk is
distributed on a Shareware type basis and it is essential that developers
register in order to receive continued support and ensure the further
development of the system. You can purchase the registered version (which is
a three disk set with lots of extras including a full assember, C compiler
and Forth assembler) directly from Floppyshop. See the PRODUCTS section for
more details.

CD ROM.XFS - Another CD ROM driver for use under Multi-TOS. It has the
advantage that both Hisierra and ISO9660 devices use the same Drive letter,
thus avoiding the need to change Drive when you swap from one format of disk
to another.
MEMORY2.SYS - A version of MEMORY.SYS which has been bug fixed and improved
for compatibility with SpeedoGDOS.
FASTBOOT V10.10 by Tommy Jonaeson - Installs an executable bootsector on a
floppy which bypasses TOS's obligatory check for an internal IDE hard drive.
Invaluable for speeding up boot time if you use an external rather than
internal hard drive.
NEWSPEED II - Allows you to slow down your computer to several preset
speeds. Useful for slowing down fast action arcade games or for those with
learning difficulties.
PANTHER - Probably one of the most useful utilities in years. It intercepts
TOS and redirects file accesses. In simple terms, it allows you to put all
your ACCs or RSCs into folders (nested as deeply as you like) and load them
up as if the ACCs were in the root directory of the boot drive and RSCs were
in the same directory as associated PRGs. It also supports the use of file
aliases, but if you don't understand that you'll still appreciate its use
for cleaning up your root directory.
ZORG V2.08 by Ludovic Rousseau - A Shareware disk sector editor which is GEM
based and allows multiple files to be edited simultaneously in different
windows. As well as allowing you to edit disk sectors, it can also optimise
hard drive partitions. Extended file systems such as Minix or Mac partitions
are not supported but you can access individual files on them if the
appropriate driver has been loaded prior to ZORG. Some of ZORG's features
are quite advanced and include the ability to change a directory or FAT
entry directly. The ability to check the file structure for any given disk
or hard drive partition, and repair it if necessary, is undoubtedly one of
this product's major selling points. On-line help is available by way of ST
Guide (not included) help files. New 68030 version. Probably the best disk
editing tool available.
SUPERBOOT V8.1 - An update on the popular ST bootup configuration program
which now runs on the Falcon. This Shareware boot manager lets you choose
which accessories, auto folder programs, assign.sys files for GDOS etc. You
can have up to 152 files of each type and select from up to 19 diffrent
DESKTOP.INF files! You can even play samples in mono or stereo while you
boot up, and the program can be called from a CLI, perform warm or cold
boots and lots more! Well documented and complete with several support
files.

DESKINF by Bob Samuel - Allows the current NEWDESK.INF file to be loaded up
and modified for whichever resolutions you intend using it with. The new INF
files are then saved under appropriate names in the directory of your
choice. A great time saver when you need to create INF files in different
resolutions for use with Superboot, Xboot etc.
DUET V1.0 by Andrew Alich - Allows you to connect up any two TOS based
computers (ST, STE, TT or Falcon) to each other and access all drives
connected to the network as if they were connected to a single machine. In
addition, you can print to a single printer using either machine. Connection
between the two computers can be made by means of Serial, MIDI or LAN
interfaces. Program and docs in German, but a RUF translation is supplied.
PROFILE V2.21 by Mark Baines - This is the most comprehensive system
analysis software ever written. The latest version is fully GEMmed and
Multi-TOS compatible. It provides information on hardware, TOS version,
memory (inc TT Fast RAM), screen resolution, disk drives, operating system
header block and basepage, cartridge and control panel settings, serial
device details, AES details, Assign.Sys and Extend.Sys settings, Multi-TOS
details, important system configuration addresses, DESKTOP.INF/NEWDESK.INF
settings, vertical blank interrupts, the cookie jar, cookie ID
interpretations, environment variable strings, the complete system variables
contents, exception vectors and much more. Profile is invaluable in helping
you track down software incompatibilities as well as being a useful tool for
'snooping around' inside your ST! All printing and saving is disabled in
this version. Register for only £5.00 to enable these features.
RUFTRADE v2.QN by Charles Edwards - This program has evolved from E_DICT on
UTL.4637 and is currently one of the best automated German to English
translation programs around. Its built-in dictionary's strength comes from
the fact that it is computer oriented rather than limited to 'everyday'
German. In addition, a number of common German phrases do not make sense
when translated literally and Ruftrade attempts to identify these and
subsitute meaningful alternatives for them. Ruftrade is undergoing constant
development and is used to translate much of the documentation for the
latest PD & Shareware releases. This is the final release of Ruftrade and is
now Freeware.
ISHAR_ED - An editor program which allows you to change your character's
attributes from a saved game file created with Ishar I or II. You can then
reload the save file into Ishar and resume your game with super-human
powers!
RECIPE BOX V4.5 by Andrew Watson - A database manager for gourmets. Very
well implemented and user friendly and with over lots of tasty sample
recipes to get you started. You are restricted to entering a maximum of 60
recipes in this version but this restriction is removed when you register.
ROUTE FINDER V2.2 by Brian Henderson - A Shareware electronic map. This
program calculates the distance between any two points on the British isles.
You can specify specific roads to avoid, the average speeds for different
road types and so on. Now includes maps showing place names and route
numbers. This version is restricted to calculating routes of up to 200
miles. Register for the full version.

GEMINI V1.99 by Stefan Eissing - A brilliant Shareware Desktop replacement
which is similar in many ways to Neodesk. It is very similar to the built-in
Desktop on the Falcon but with several 'extra' features such as its own
built-in CLI. Other features include keyboard shortcuts, automatic
installation of all devices attached to the system, the option of using an
IMG as a Desktop picture, disk formatting to extended capacities, Kobold 2
support, recoverable trashcan, moveable dialogs, GEM Clipboard support and
full compatibility with Speedo-GDOS, Multi-TOS and MagiC (including support
for the AV protocol which allows messages to be sent between different GEM
programs). This latest version runs in any Falcon resolution and uses colour
icons. There's just one problem, both the program and docs are in German,
although we have done a rough translation.

ATOMIK V3.5F - Yet another version of Altair's Atomik packer v3.5 which
claims to work on the Falcon. The only difference is that this version does
work! Includes assembler source to depack files. Thanks to Graeme Urquhart
for the fix.
DESKDRIVER 2 by Graham Hinton - Originally designed as a printer driver for
KAOSDesk, this program has evolved into a complete communications port
driver. It allows you to direct output from a disk file to the parallel,
serial, serial 1, serial 2, modem 1, modem 2, MIDI or LAN ports (depending
upon which of these is supported by your TOS version and machine). As far as
we know, this is the only driver which addresses the 'extra' ports on the
Mega STE, TT and Falcon. It is also a an exceptionally good printer driver
for replacement Desktops.
LOTTERY COMPANION v4.22 by Mark Butler - Written by one of Britain's best
known Shareware authors, LC is another carefully researched program rather
than merely a random number picker, although it can do that too. Each week
you add the draw numbers to the statistics stored on disk and predictions
can be made based on the least or most commonly drawn numbers drawn over a
period of time and three built-in weighting options are used to improve the
accuracy of this forecast. As you do this, your numbers will automatically
be checked against the draw. An additional feature in this program is the
number wheel where you enter the number of data sets required (you can have
up to 1000) and either pick 12 number fields manually or using one of the
program's built-in number generation methods. All possible permutations of
six lucky numbers chosen from your selection of 12. Pattern analysis is also
useful as it displays any patterns that are forming after analysing all
draws performed to date. LC supports print out to any printer and is
constantly being updated. This latest version handles the mid-week draw.
Suitable for personal or syndicate use. Can you afford to miss out on this
one?
SPEEDVIEW V1.5 by Christian Ernst - Gives a visual preview of all SpeedoGDOS
fonts currently loaded. This is particularly useful if your SpeedoGDOS
application does not have a font preview option. In addition, Speedview
displays the actual name of the font rather than its often obscure filename.
Invaluable if running Multi-TOS as you can use Speedview to view the fonts
while your SpeedoGDOS application is running.
SPEED DVS by Thierry Rodolfo - SpeedoGDOS printer drivers for the HP Deskjet
550C and Epson models LX800, LQ500, LQ800, LQ850, LQ1000, LQ1050. These have
been tested with Atari Works but should work equally well with other
SpeedoGDOS based applications.

BYTEFREE V3.3 by Darin Wayrynen - A fast an efficient program which
calculates the amount of space used and space free on the different
partitions of your hard drive.
SHAURI v1.1 by Racème Production - An extensive system analysis program
which is similar in many ways to Mark Baines' Profile 2. It gives info on
TOS version, Memory, AES, VDI, GDOS fonts, disk drives connected, Auto
programs, ACCs, CPX's (including settings for each individual CPX), cookies
installed, the memory map, DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF settings and NVRAM settings
on the TT and Falcon. Details of your setup are saved to an ASCII file for
you to analyse.
IDEALIST v3.8 by Christophe Bartholme - A beautifully presented Shareware
utility for printing text files. Creates multiple columns (up to 9) and
handles straight ASCII, RTF and 1st Word formats. Up to four different sizes
of text can be used within a single document and (Speedo)GDOS fonts may be
used within your documents. Also supported are downloadable laser and dot
matrix printer fonts and you can of course use any of the inbuilt fonts in
your printer. Other notable features include converting email text
attributes to real attributes, adjustable print margins, line numbering
option, background spooling (up to 36 files can be in the queue), separate
management of continuous and single feed paper, automatic trimming of long
lines to fit available space, page skip mode, window iconification under
Multi-TOS or ICFS and support for long file names via XFS under Multi-TOS
and MagiC. You can configure 1st Word or any other text editor to be run
from within Idealist if so desired. Idealist can be configured for any
printer. Configurations for several 9-pin, 24-pin, Deskjet, LaserJet, Canon
Bubblejets, Epson Stylus, Starjet SJ-48 and the Atari laser are included.
Fully GEMmed and Multi-TOS compatible with a print preview option.
IDEATOOLS - A collection of utilities by Christophe Bartholme designed to
complement Idealist.
IDEAFORM V1.7 - Makes source code listings easier to read by emphasising
comments and key words with text attributes. Exactly how the source file is
altered depends on the settings in the key file, which is user-defined. Key
files for Basic, C, C++, Modula 2, Pascal, assembler and Tex are included.
Can be run from Idealist or as a standalone program.
IDEABOOK V1.1 - Reorganises the pages in a 1st Word or ASCII file so that
they are in the correct order for folding and stapling so that they make up
a booklet. Can be run from Idealist or as a standalone program.
GDOS CHECK V2.06 - Gives details of all currently installed (Speedo)GDOS
fonts and their sizes. It also allows you to print out a test page to help
you determine where to set your margins to ensure that all text gets
printed. Primarily designed as an aid for Idealist but may be equally useful
for other applications.
BLINEX V1.6 - Removes unnecessary blank lines from ASCII files, therefore
saving paper. It also converts between Atari, Ansi, Mac and PC ASCII files
i.e. it translates characters above ASCII 127 correctly between the formats.
It also converts Unix ASCII to DOS format so that it can be read on the
Atari. Now with an easy to use GEM interface.

TEXT ANALYSER v1.9.2 by Dan Ackerman - Analyses any ASCII text file and
gives you info on the number of letters, syllables, words, lines and
sentences in the document. It further breaks this down to average letters
per word, average syllables per word, average words per sentence etc. Now
runs from an easy to use GEM interface thanks to Mario Becroft.
TOS_X V0.96 - Causes the system to pause after exiting a TOS program, so
that you can read any text printed to the screen.
BOOTXS V2.21 by Christer Gustavsson - A GEM program which allows you to
specify which Auto folder programs, ACCs, CPXs, DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF,
MINT.CNF, GEM.CNF etc, are to be loaded next time you boot up. Very easy to
use and much better thought out than many similar programs. This latest
version now runs from the Auto folder, despite being GEM based. Certain
restrictions on this version, register for the full version.
CHARACTER TABLE V1.3 by Mark Baines - A CPX for use with Xcontrol. It
displays the entire system font and shows the ASCII, hex, decimal, octal and
binary values for any selected character.
ELEGANCE by Tim Chapman - An ACC which replaces the built-in system font
with a Mac-like equivalent.
GEMAR V3.06 by Steffen Engel - An easy to use GEM based package which allows
you to backup hard drive partitions to SCSI based tape streamers. This
Shareware release creates TAR compatibles archives so that tapes created
with GEMAR can be read on Unix systems and vice versa. Data may be stored
compressed or uncompressed and external archiver programs of your choice may
be used. Backups can be made in GEMDOS mode or as image backups, especially
useful for non-TOS based partitions, although the later functions is
reserved along with several others for registered users. GEMAR now has both
English and German docs and includes its own extensive on-line Help system.
Multi-TOS and MagiC device drivers allowing you to connect a tape streamer
are also supplied.
MOUSEBUTTON by Frogsoft - Reverses the mouse buttons so that the left button
acts as the right and vice versa. Useful if you left button is broken and
you don't want to buy a new mouse!
FALCONF v1.06 by Christoph Wissing - A CPX for use with Xcontrol, which lets
you alter numerous Falcon specific settings. It lets you change the CPU and
Blitter speeds to 8Mhz or 16Mhz, switch the cache and IDE hard drive on or
off, change the screen frequency to 78hz (use with caution), switch the DSP
on or off (or to wait or unlock status) or switch on the sound sub-system,
set STE emulation on or off and much more. Docs are in German but we've done
a RUF translation.
TWR11PTCH - A patch program which corrects various bugs in the game Towers
II v1.0 and 1.1. This patch is only for use with Towers II v1.0 or 1.1. If
you have v1.2b or later you do not need it.
STIC V2.12 by Peter Matulat and Jürgen Arthofer - A Freeware EPROM
programmer package. It was designed primarily for use as a replacement
driver for the EPROM programmers produced by Dr Böhm GmbH (address given for
kit of parts) but can communicate with other EPROM programmers using
external modules and guidance is given on how to create your own. Although
not included in the distribution, drivers for PL-Computerzubehör's
RSEPROMMER and Maxon's Junior Prommer were under development when this
package was released. STIC can read and copy ROMs and EPROMs as well as read
an IMG created from a ROM image. In fact it can even create an IMG of your
ROMs so that you can patch the system to suit and reblow it into fresh
EPROMs. The software even allows the creation of patch files to help you do
the job and supplies patches for TOS v1.4, 2.06 and 3.06! Files are split
into low and high bytes by the software, although it can also handle already
split files. Larger capacity EPROMs can also be programmed by using a
special adaptor which is available from the authors. In fact the software
can handle anything from 32K to 512K devices. STIC talks to EPROM
programmers which connect to the serial port and it is perfectly possible
that it might work with hardware from other computer platforms (eg; Mac or
PC). Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF
translation of the docs.

AVENA SCREEN ADJUSTER V2.1 - Allows you to adjust the video clock frequency,
horizontal frame rate, horizontal and vertical impulses and such like for
RGB displays. You can also switch on or off overscan, double-line/interlace,
set the number of columns and the colour mode. More of a programmer's tool
than anything else. Includes assembler source for use in your own programs.
Please note that you can damage your equipment with this program if you
don't know what you are doing! RGB ONLY.
BOOTSIE v1.74 by Stefen Krey - An excellent tool for creating customised
executable bootsectors. You can have it print up a user defined message,
reduced the boot wait time, switch the cache on or off, switch on the
blitter, set 50Hz or 60Hz, set the step rate for drives A or B, sound a
'bing' when Auto programs load and even guard against viruses.
CD PLAYER V1.4 by Alexander Clauss - Allows you to play audio CDs on a CD
ROM drive. It looks like the control panel of a conventional CD player and
allows you to select individual tracks to play. You can play individual
tracks, repeat tracks, shuffle them etc. As well as a full display of track
number, time etc, CD Player also has a built-in Database where you can add
info such as song title and artist for each title. CD Player is Multi-TOS
compatible but requires MetaDOS and a MetaDOS audio driver.
FPU PATCH V1.1 by Hartman Pfitzinger - Allows you to patch programs written
with Turbo C or Pure C so as to optimise them for use with an FPU. Programs
which use a lot of floating point calculations can produce speed increases
of up to 30% when patched. Always patch a backup copy of your program, just
in case it doesn't work!
KALEIDO v1.0 by Dave Levi and Matthew Bednall - A Shareware colour icon
editor for your Desktop icons. Load up an existing DESKICON.RSC and modify
existing icons or create new ones. You can edit the mono and colour versions
of each icon in selected and deselected form. All the usual drawing tools
are present and you can scroll the icon out of the window without losing the
area which goes outside the window (a very useful feature). Icons may be
flipped and rotated, mirrored or sections cut and pasted. Graphics for use
as icons may be grabbed from Degas, IFF or BMP images or indeed from
executable programs (in which case you have to search for the graphic data).
FREEDOM V1.15E by Christian Krueger and Kolja Koischwitz - This
revolutionary program is primarily intended as a replacement file selector
but is in reality much more! It is non-modal which means that you can have
up to eight file selectors open at once. It supports long file names (on
file systems which use this feature), Multi-TOS drag & drop protocol,
multiple file selection, up to 40 user definable paths, keyboard shortcuts,
pop-up menus, Unix masks and extension lists, AV protocol, file searching
and much more. It puts all Alert boxes into moveable windows (thus replacing
the need for Multidialog or Let Em Fly), has a left handed mode and lets you
change the font and colour used for the directory window. You can copy,
delete, touch or move files. A history popup displays the last 40 accessed
files (and lets you go directly to their directories). Freedom fully
supports all the standards set forth by Selectric (and implements them in a
compatible fashion) but surpasses it by way of extra features. Whats more,
it employs the use of parallel processing which means that you can perform a
task (such as file searching) while several others are running in the
background. Probably the best file selector on any computer! Top quality
Shareware with a comprehensive English manual.
GDOS CHECK V2.06 - Gives details of all currently installed (Speedo)GDOS
fonts and their sizes. It also allows you to print out a test page to help
you determine where to set your margins to ensure that all text gets
printed. Primarily designed as an aid for Idealist but may be equally useful
for other applications.
HD PATCH V0.95 by Atari - This program allows you to patch ADHI versions
3.00 and above so that you can specify the size of the hard drive sectors,
operating pool size, idle time before drive powers down, drive letters for
removable devices and which devices to scan for (prevents SCSI devices other
than those with sequential numbers being missed).
HOLD IT by Christophe Batholme - Allows you to pause output to the screen by
holding down SHIFT, CONTROL or ALTERNATE. Very useful for those TTP programs
which exit before you've had time to read the message they display. Can be
run from an Auto folder.
MAGICF30 v4 by Thomas Binder - Patches to allow the MagiC v2 multi-tasking
operating system to run on the Falcon. There are limitations in that HD
disks are not supported, it only runs in ST resolutions, it doesn't support
programs which use the DSP. Bearing these limitations in mind, it's the best
solution available until MagiC 3 is released.
MAUS-WINDOW v1.32 by Thomas Binder - Automatically "tops" the window under
the mouse pointer. Also works under MultiTOS. Can run either as an Accessory
or by double-clicking from the Desktop by changing the extension.
PROBE HOUSE UNIT CONVERTER V1.0 by William Wong - Probably the most
comprehensive weights and measures conversion utility ever written. It
converts between every known unit of distance/length, weight, speed, volume,
area, density, time, gravitational force, energy, pressure, temperature,
light, magnetic induction, electric charge, power and plane angle. All in
all, PHUC handles over 120 different types of conversions! It's also GEM
based and very easy to use.
SLOWBLIT by Sven Bruns - Designed to fix a problem experienced with the
40Mhz CPU/20Mhz Bus accelerator upgrades which result in a system crash if
the blitter is accessed. This program slows the blitter down to 10Mhz
(normally 20Mhz with the accelerator) so as to alleviate the problem.
SUNFIX V1.0 by Roger Burrows - Allows a Sun compatible CD-ROM drive to be
used on an Atari which is running Extendos v1.21 or Extendos Pro v2 (or
later).
WORLD CLOCK V1.0A by Dan Wilga - A map of the world appears in a GEM window.
Select where you live and save this as default. From now on, you can simply
click onto anywhere in the world and the local time will be displayed. The
default time of day is taken from your system clock. Invaluable if you want
to make long distance calls without disturbing your friends at unsociable
hours! World Clock can be run as a PRG or ACC and is both rescalable to suit
and multi-tasking friendly.

THING V1.09e by Arno Welzel and Thomas Binder - An excellent Desktop
replacement program and what's more, it's Shareware! THING supports TOS
versions from 1.4 onwards and provides most of the TOS 2 Desktop features
plus many extras. In addition to the base drive, trashcan, folder, program
and file icons, THING adds a clipboard, printer and parent icons. Each
different file type can be assigned its own icon using Edit Icons which is
one of many options from the Extra menu. Program, folder and file Icons can
all be dragged from windows onto the Desktop, where a duplicate appears. To
run the programs, all you do is click on its Desktop Icon. You can also
launch a program by dragging an appropriate data file onto the Desktop Icon.
It even supports object groups, the AV protocol, the Font protocols and
integrates seamlessly with Kobold, ALICE, ST Guide and several other
programs. Well documented. Can be used as a replacement to the GEM Desktop
or as the alternative Desktop for Multi-TOS, Geneva, MagiC, MagiCMac etc.
One of the best replacement Desktops around. THING is currently part of a UK
registration scheme organised by Joe Connor. Highly Recommended.
BACKUP DESTRUCTION UTILITY by Richard Karsmakers - Allows you to get rid of
all backup files in a single operation. You can specify the extensions of up
to 8 different types of backup files you want 'zapped'. BDU allows you to
exclude any directories (up to 8 per partition) or even the entire
partition, from the process and the backup files may be moved to a specified
directory rather than deleted. Fully Multi-TOS compatible.
CHARMAP5 V0.9 by Peter Hellinger - A companion program for SpeedoGDOS 5
which allows you to access the extra characters in TrueType and Type 1 fonts
which lie above the 256 character limitation of the ASCII character set.
These may then be incorporated into your font tables so that they can be
used within SpeedoGDOS aware applications. Please note that this utility
does NOT work with SpeedoGDOS v4 or other GDOS variants, ONLY SpeedoGDOS 5.
The program is in English but the docs are German, although we've done a RUF
translation. Also, note that Charmap5 requires Peter Hellinger's Magic
program (on disk) in order to run).
MAGIC MODULAR APPLICATIONS GEM INTERFACE (MAGIC) 4.00 by Peter Helinger - An
alternative GEM interface for Magic aware applications. Not to be confused
with MagiC from Application Systems Heidelberg. Magic 4.00 runs under TOS,
Multi-TOS or MagiC. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German,
although we've done a RUF translation of the docs. Charmap5 (also on disk)
is Magic aware.
ICONIFY SERVER (ICFS) by Dirk Haun - Allows you to iconify (shrink down to
the size of an icon) any open window in the same way as is possible with
Multi-TOS. This program allows you to use iconification under ordinary TOS
and MagiC. Currently Kandinsky and a few programs including IconMan and
Yukon, support the iconify protocol.

NATIONAL LOTTERY SIMULATOR PLUS by Colin Ballantyne - This is a lottery
program with a difference. It doesn't go for mind-blowing methods of
prediction or analysis of past results. So what does it do? It does what the
name suggests, it is a simulation of the actual draw itself. Enjoy the
introduction music to the show, the build-up to the draw and then the nerve-
racking draw itself, all performed accurately and with the full atmosphere
of the real thing. This latest revision sees the graphics revamped to match
those on the TV show more accurately. It has lots of other extras such as
the ability to pick the lottery machine and ball set (different ball sets
equate to different randomising algorithms, some of which are really
wierd!). There are other new features like selection time, selection
interval, print numbers, draw bonus, quick draw and quick multidraw. What's
more, the music and speech are not 'borrowed' from the show either, they are
reproduced by Glasgow music students! A real fun way of picking those
elusive numbers. There's even a cheat's mode so that you can dupe your
friends into thinking you've won!

AIRBAG V1.1 by Apache - A boot selector program which lets you choose which
ACCs and Auto programs are to be run for the current session. It allows you
to specify up to 28 Auto folder programs and 28 ACCs and 10 default sets can
be saved for ease of use. You can boot up with a low res picture and perform
a check of your system vectors (useful for detecting viruses).
ARKUS V1.0 - A font manager program for use with SpeedoGDOS and NVDI 3. It
displays the names of fonts from Calamus, TrueType, Postscript Type 1 and
SpeedoGDOS fonts. It also displays copyright information and other useful
data about the fonts. If you are using NVDI 3, you can adjust the caches
independently of each other and de-install loaded fonts. Fully Multi-TOS
compatible. This is a demo, so not all options are fully functional. Also,
text and program are both in German but we've done a RUF translation of the
text.
BATFAX - A Shareware fax program. It converts ASCII or 1st Word/Wordplus
files into STraight FAX compatible files ready for transmission. Similarly,
received faxes (automatic and manual receive are both supported) can be
printed to Epson compatible printers or converted to text format. The only
limitation to this excellent piece of software is that you can only send
text messages and cannot include letterheads etc in them. There is an
annoying 'feature' to encourage registration, but at only $25 you'll be glad
to part with your cash!
NOVA BOMBER by Christian Krüger - A post mortem analysis tool to trap system
crashes when running software with the Nova graphics card, so as to help you
identify the problems with the software.
CD BROWSER V1.3 by Keith Lord - A program which lets you 'poke around'
inside and ISO 9660 standard CD-ROM disc. It displays information on the
volume descriptor, reads the root directory, allows you to browse through
directories and displays the contents of text files. A very useful feature
is the ability to bypass the corrupted directory entry on the Gemini CD ROM
and access the rest of the IMGs in the folder! There's also the ability to
copy files from the CD to your hard drive, view sectors on the CD-ROM and
search the disc for specified filenames. All this is WITHOUT using a CD-ROM
driver such as ExtenDOS or MetaDOS. The only thing it doesn't let you do is
run files directly from the CD.
DESKCLOCK V1.0 by Yanick Dufresne - A corner clock which runs as an ACC or
can be used as a PRG under Multi-TOS. C source included.
EASY PGP SHELL V0.90 - A simple to use GEM based front end for use with
Pretty Good Privacy, the data encryption program.
FORMINT V2.3 - An excellent disk formatter which runs under Multi-TOS. It
can format DOS compatible or extended format disks and runs in the
background, thus allowing you to carry on using other applications while
your disks are formatting. Simply enter its details into the GEM.CNF file
and it is used to replace the Desktop's built-in disk formatter. Docs are in
French but the program has English, French and German RSC files.
GENEVA PATCH - A short program which updates Geneva to fix a few bugs
encountered when running on the Falcon.
GEN MOUSE V2.5 - Allows you to connect a generic PC mouse to your serial
port. Both the Atari and serial mouse are operational at the same time. If
your PC mouse has three buttons, you can make use of the middle button with
this useful program. Even if it doesn't, you can swap the functions of the
right and left buttons, useful if the left button gets broken. Logitech and
Microsoft mice are also supported.
PATCHES - A collection of small but useful patches which allow some ST games
to run on the Falcon. They deal with correct fixing of the screen address,
the ST soundchip problem, replacing the Falcon's sound matrix with STE
compatible DMA sound, and finally, there's an option to run games which are
executed directly from the bootsector. These patches are able to get more
than a dozen otherwise incompatible games running.
ULTIMEM v1.0 - Allows you to reconfigure your Falcon to think that it has
512K, 1 Mb, 2 Mb, 2.5 Mb or 4 Mb (subject to available memory). Useful for
compatibility testing when developing software. It also gets round the
problem of programs which do not normally run on machines with more than 1
Meg.
VOX - A voice recognition program in English and French. Load up a list of
words and talk clearly into a microphone at the prompts. Vox is a bit
unstable at 'learning' words so you may experience frequent crashes! Save
regularly and continue until you have spoken all the words on the list. Now
switch voice recognition on and say 'close' into the microphone. You will be
amazed to see the top window close! Go into your favourite word processor
and tell it to cut, paste and copy! You'll be amazed up the point when it
confuses cut with quit! Vox is still under development but already looks
promising. Pity there's no docs. Vox only runs under Multi-TOS and needs 4
Mb. Includes full source code in C and assembler.

ACCELERATE CPU V1 by Peter Green - A detailed text document and accompanying
images describing how to perform the hardware modifications necessary to
make you Falcon's CPU run at 18 Mhz (36 Mhz if Power Up 2 is already
fitted). This is a system wide acceleration, so it affects everything in
your Falcon, not just the CPU. What's more, it will only cost about £6 for
parts and £5 for the Shareware fee!
ACCELERATE CPU V2 - A modification of the original package which allows your
CPU to run at 24 Mhz (48 Mhz if Power Up 2 is fitted). It should be noted
that you can only run text based (i.e. TOS and TTP) programs at this speed,
not GEM programs. It is also essential that you slow down the speed of the
Blitter. A program to do this is included.
ACCELERATE FPU V1 by Peter Green - Detailed text document and accompanying
images describing how to accelerate your 68881/68882 FPU to 50 Mhz (64 Mhz
if Power Up 2 is fitted). This too is a system wide acceleration and
interacts with the CPU (if modified) to give an even greater overall speed
increase. This time, it's £10 for parts and £10-£15 for the Shareware fee.
ACCELERATE FPU V2 - This offers the same acceleration as v1 of the
modification but uses a different (simplified) circuit design.
CLAC V1.1 by Eero Tamminen - An expression evaluating program
(ie.calculator) which has some functions rarely found in any other
calculator. CLAC is composed of two internally separate components. The user
interface (=UI) gets the expressions and takes care of the variables and
output, whereas the 'expression engine' calculates the expression strings
given to it by UI. Some of the advantages of CLAC are - The expression
engine is OS independent as it includes only ANSI C. There can be several
different UI's. The current text interface is also OS independent. More
complex expressions can be evaluated without making the program exessively
complex, thus easing up the debugging and addition of new features.
TTF VIEW by Trevor Blight - A simple but handy utility which displays a True
Type font on screen without the need for SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 to be
installed. This makes it useful for checking out new fonts without having to
install them and load up an application to view them. MONO only.
PYSGHAM v2.0 by STectre - A virtual drive management program. You can create
up to eight virtual drives and each drive corresponds to a folder on a real
drive eg; D:\UTILS\WORDPLUS\LETTERS\ could be assigned as virtual drive N.
This means that you access the folder's contents by simply opening Drive N
on the Desktop and all file operations using Drive N will be re-directed to
D:\UTILS\WORDPLUS\LETTERS\. A great program which eliminates the need to
wade through nested folders on a hard drive system.
AL'S VIRTUAL FILE MANAGER V1.1 - A program launcher with a difference. There
is no limit to the number of entries which can be added to the list and
directories can be added as well as programs. Documents can be associated
with programs so that you select the document and the appropriate text
editor loads. You can instantly open any specified directory with a double
click on the appropriate item in the AVFM window. Programs which require
parameters to be passed to them can have this specified in the config file
too. File names can be up to 30 characters long and can have comments
attached to them. All in all, a very handy program to have around,
especially if you have a hard drive. If using TOS 1.2, AVFM only works if
you have a replacement file selector installed. This problem does not exist
with other TOS versions.
MANUALIZER V2.0 by Anthony Watson - A nice easy to use program which lets
you print out ASCII text in landscape or portrait format or as A5 booklets.
In addition, you can use up to three fonts in your document. One of the few
manual creation programs which is not specific to Hewlett Packard printers,
although it does work on them too. Ideal for printing out those readme
files. Requires GDOS or SpeedoGDOS to be installed if you are printing to
non-HP printers.
LET EM FLY V1.3 - Lets you move dialog boxes around the screen with the
mouse, implements keyboard shortcuts for button presses, adds new icons to
alert boxes (replacing the drab GEM versions), lets you view what's under a
dialog and lets you switch off grow and shrink boxes for faster screen
redraws. Multi-TOS compatible.
INS CHAR by Matthew Carey - An ACC which brings up a table of the ASCII
charater set. Simply click onto any character to insert it into your
document. Includes C source.
INS DATE by Matthew Carey - An ACC which inserts the current date (assuming
your system clock is set correctly) into your text documents. Includes C
source.
SVGA EMULATOR V1.0 by New Core - An Auto folder program which gives you a
resolution of 864x512 in 16 colours on an SVGA monitor. Do NOT try this on
an RGB or ordinary VGA monitor or you are likely to cause damage.
LEXICON v2.00 by Ian Clarke - An odd utility which allows you to 'emulate'
keyboard shortcuts by drawing the appropriate letter on screen with the
mouse! More usefully, you can define a symbol to simulate holding down the
CTRL, ALT and SHIFT keys (or any combination of them) together so that
complicated keyboard shortcuts are achieved easily.

BROWSER - An early version of what looks like becoming a very powerful
Hypertext ACC. An example file shows the program's practical uses but
there's very little by way of docs.
TOS 4 COLOUR ICON EDITOR V1.1 - At last there's a program which allows you
to edit the colour icons used in the DESKICON.RSC file. Includes a full
range of tools for editing animated icons or creating your own. Includes a
sample RSC file. VGA ONLY.
CHAIN ST V1.2 by Tony Harris - A GEM based program which must be installed
as an Auto application. It sets up a ramdisk of your chosen size and copies
a pre-defined list of files into it. The advantage Chain ST has over other
programs which automatically copy files into a ramdisk on startup, is that
it allows up to ten GEM programs to be run as Auto applications on boot up,
rather than the usual one.
iPRN V2.02D by Peter Missel - Yet another printer accelerator. This one
claims to speed up printer output by up six times the normal. It also
reduces the 40 second timeout experienced if you try to print with no
printer attached. The demo has some limitations and registered users get
some extras thrown in too.
UK ADVANCED CRYPTICS DICTIONARY V1.3 by Ross Beresford - A massive
collection of 190,000 words. It was compiled from lists totalling 500,000
words by eliminating entries which were not allowable in UK cryptic puzzles.
All included words are listed in The Chambers Dictionary, Collins English
Dictionary and The Concise Oxford Dictionary. Although compiled with
crossword addicts in mind, this list could also be used as an extensive
spell checker for most word processors.
1ST DIR by STectre - A simple directory lister. It displays the contents of
any specified drive or the current directory to the screen.
THE COOKIE MONSTER v0.5 by Cajun - Saves out a listing of all installed
Cookies. Both the Cookie identifier and its full name are listed for
recognised Cookies, as well as the identifiers of any unrecognised ones.
Cookie Monster currently recognises 357 Cookies.
CRYPTAR V3 by Ranceme Productions - Encrypts a file using a 64-bit CRC. This
gives you only a 1 in 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 chance of breaking the code
without the correct password! What makes Cryptar better than most encryption
programs is that it creates a duplicate file to encrypt rather than
overwriting the original.
CLOCK PATCH - Documentation and pictures detailing how to modify your Falcon
to fix SCSI and sound hardware problems. This improves the usability of
ScreenBlaster and ScreenEye, allows D2D recording at 49Khz, eliminates
read/write errors with external SCSI devices. These are probably similar
modifications to those implemented in the C-Lab Falcon. Everything's in
German but we've done a RUF translation. Do not attempt this modification
unless competent to do so.
JOKE JAHANH by STectre - A fun program which mixes up randomly selected
verbs, nouns and adjectives to make up amusing (or unamusing!) stories. In
English and Norwegian.
LIB_RTF V3.00 by Vincent Godefroy - Converts Le Redacteur text files into
RTF format. You can even specify which fonts you wish to use in your
converted RTF files. Designed for converting Redacteur files for use with
Papyrus, but equally well suited to any program which reads RTF files.
MEMSPEED v1.0 by Torst Lang - Tests the bandwidth of the first level cache,
second level cache and main ST and TT memory. Ideal for testing out
different RAM expansion cards. Docs in German but we've done a RUF
translation.
MAKE FONT LIST V1.09e by Vincent Godefroy - Simply select the location of
your fonts directory and a listing of all GDOS, SpeedoGDOS and Calamus
fonts, along with their file sizes and full font names will be displayed on
screen or saved to disk.
SET CLIPBOARD by More Soft - Allows you to specify the directory to be used
by all programs which support the GEM Clipboard, rather than it defaulting
to C:\CLIPBRD.
WORLDSAT V1.4 by W G Jones - Allows you to calculate the position of over
100 geo-stationary orbital satellites from any location in the UK. This
enables you to align your TV satellite dish optimally to receive
transmissions from selected satellites. Although data for geographical
locations in the UK is built-in, users from around the world can also use
this program if they know the latitude & longtitude of their home location.

IKARUS V0.23 - You manouvre your way around a 3D village with a large degree
of control over the various interactive elements (such as cars, birds,
colours etc). Explore the village or shoot down the flocks of birds. Multi-
TOS compatible, acting as a welcome diversion from work in a multi-tasking
environment. A strange program which defies any attempt to be categorised,
it borders on virtual reality but lacks the headset! Ikarus needs an FPU.
COMPOSE CHARACTERS KEYBOARD DRIVER V1.5 by Pascal Fellerich - Allows you to
type 'foreign' characters easily on any nationality of keyboard. You do this
holding down the ALT key and typing the two (or more) characters which make
up the character required. This makes the typing of characters using umlauts
and circumflexes very easy on UK and American keyboards. More complicated
characters such as those used in some Eastern European languages are just as
easy to implement. Also includes a mouse speed up utility.
ESSAY V2.00 by Patrick Ruiz - A very fast text editor. It is not GEM based
but is both mouse and keyboard controlled. It supports powerful block and
search functions, up to 10 place markers, up to 10 keyboard macros, allows
you to define the text and background colour and load GDOS fonts. Not as
fully featured as some but FASTER than everything else I've seen!
FASTVIEW V1.0 by Marc Sieburg - A very fast text viewer. It has few of the
functions offered by other text viewers but beats all of them on speed.
Install it as an application so that TXT or ASC files can be double-clicked
from the Desktop. Alternatively it can be installed as the default text
viewer under Multi-TOS.
REMOTE CONTROL by Donald Bork - CPX modules for controlling the HP Laserjet
4, 4P and 4L. They allow you to change the print quality, memory settings,
page setup and font type and size, all things which cannot be done from the
dip switches. The CPX's are in German but the doc is in English. Register
for the English CPX's. Needs to be used with Xcontrol on F.4862.
KATALOG MAKER v1.06 by Christoph Spengler - A tool for use with ST Guide
(F.4782). Its purpose is to create a catalogue of all your hypertext files,
essentially linking them all together from a main menu. It effectively
replaces STOOL the cataloguing program supplied with ST Guide.
BOOT EDITOR V8.0 by GEn & Wax - A highly polished bottsector customiser. It
lets you install one of six custom bootsectors (plasma, fractal etc) onto
your disk. You can also store any bootsector in its built-in database and
integrate it with the vital data (tracks, sectors, sides etc) of any disk.
The program also displays the contents of any bootsector, informs you
whether or not it is executable and can even check for viruses.
DESK PATCHER V3 by Cyrille Dupuydauby - Allows you to select ST compatible
resolutions whilst in overscan mode, without messing up the screen display.
Also replaces FPATCH completely.
ADEBUG PATCH by Cyrille Dupuydauby - Replacement loaders for the Adebug and
Rdebug packages, which have been fixed to avoid the Vsetmode call from
redrawing the screen rather than changing resolution. Also, these loaders
make the package VGA compatible.
RESCUE ST V1.0 by Tony Harris - A impressive Shareware multi-purpose ACC.
Its functions include crash analysis, exception trapper, interrupt clearer,
number converter (decimal, hex, binary), ASCII lookup table, hertz toggle,
memory fixer (make your ST think it has less memory for compatibility
testing etc), 68000 instruction set, OS functions, Gemdos errors, view
picture file, format disk, create folder, and much more.
SCAN DISK V1.03 by Vincent Godefroy - A directory lister. You can scan for
all files matching any of the 27 pre-defined extensions or add up to 9 of
your own. They can be printed with/without time/date stamps and extensions
and you can specify how many columns are used. Output can be viewed or saved
to disk.
SUBSTATION LEVEL by Kenton Dalziel - A new level for Unique Developments'
Substation. Please not that this is not a free standing program, merely a
data file. It only works with the full version of Substation.
TOS 4.04 PATCHES by Michael Ruge - A collection of patches for TOS 4.04.
Please note that these will only work on TOS 4.04 and that you will first
need to copy a ROM image to disk (SHBUF will do that for you) and then
you'll need to reblow the EPROMs with an EPROM programmer. The patches
resolve the following:- set timeout limit if no IDE drive fitted, switch off
IDE drive at bootup, use SCSI drives which will not normally co-exist with
the built-in IDE drive, change the bomb symbols, set printer timeout, set
fastload bit (for floppy drive), disable search for Drive B when booting,
disable grow/shrink boxes, replace Atari logo at bootup, and a few others.
Most docs in German but some have been translated.
UTILS - A collection of small utilities to switch the Blitter on or off and
select whether it should run at 8 Mhz or 16 Mhz.
VCR DOCTOR by Steve Dent - A diagnostics program for finding faults with
video recorders. You simply select the make and model of your VCR and are
given the first known fault for that model. Work your way through these
until you come to the appropriate fault. The database covers dozens of makes
and models of VCR along with countless common faults encountered by the
author over many years of repairing them. VCR Doctor is not a step by step
guide to repairing VCRs, merely an easy method of diagnosing what the fault
it. Printout is supported to Epson and HP compatible printers. A fuller
version with more VCR models and more faults, is available upon
registration.
XTERMINE V0.2 by Rancéme Productions - An excellent virus killer from
France. It can use library files created by Sagrotan, Exorcist 2 and The
Killer to increase its recognition statistics. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker
for the translation.

JUNIOR OFFICE V3.04 by TKR Software GmbH - This is a cut down version of the
fax module from Tele Office, and has been released as Shareware. Junior
Office is a well featured program capable of creating faxes from ASCII text
and IMG graphics and sending/receiving them using a Class 1 or 2 fax modem.
In addition, you can dial 'Fax-U-Back' services, auto receive incoming faxes
when working in another application and maintain a name and address box of
fax numbers to make it even easier to fax commonly used numbers. Either the
entire package or the send/receive module can be run as an ACC if desired.
It is undoubtedly the most polished of all fax software for the Atari, with
everything being easily configured from menus and icons. In fact you'd be
surprised at just how simple it is to use. This version only imports ASCII
text but the registered version includes drivers for many different
applications, so that fax files can be generated directly from your
favourite word processor or DTP package. In addition, the registered version
has a number of bells and whistles not included here. Please note that
Junior Office is NOT compatible with Freedom and will seize up if Freedom is
installed. Also you need (Speedo)GDOS and an appropriate printer driver
installed if you want to print out faxes. Needs to be run from hard drive.
Very highly recommended.
S3-ST V2.30 by Keith Baines - Lets you transfer files between an Atari
computer and a Psion Series 3 or 3A personal organiser. As well as being
able to copy files between the two machines, you can view files on either
machine using your Atari screen, print files from either machine to a
printer connected to the Atari and delete files or create folders on either
machine. This software provides a graphical interface similar to the GEM
Desktop from which you carry out all operations. Another program allows you
to use your Psion databases directly on the Falcon or export data to the GEM
Clipboard for import into your word processor. This package includes all the
software and documentation you need to get the two computers 'talking' to
each other. All you will need to buy is the Psion 3-Link (PC version) to
physically connect the machines.
SUPERCARD 3.13 by Chris Beale - Supercard is a computerised card index type
program. It gives you the standard features of a normal database program but
without the restrictions on the type or amount of data or length of fields.
In fact you don't need to create fields at all since these are created
internally by the program if and when required. This latest version is much
faster, allows up to 60 macros to be defined, up to 32K of data can be
imported, it has a switchable sort feature and improved security protection,
lines can be justified, verify Save is switchable, protected files can be
deprotected once in memory and there's lots more. There's a restriction on
the number of records which can be entered and an annoying 'sulk mode' in
this version. Register for a modest Shareware fee to get rid of both!
PARAFIN V1.37 - A file locator which runs in the background as a PRG under
Multi-TOS or an ACC under single TOS. Put simply, it lets you perform the
search whilst continuing work within another GEM based program. You can
iconify its window or even top another without affecting the search. Various
search options can be specified. It can search recursive directories,
include hidden files in the search, look for only files which match certain
specified attributes and much more. When run as a PRG, you can even launch
programs directly from its window!

TOS2GEM - Sends the text output from TOS and TTP programs into a GEM window
in much the same way as Toswin does under Multi-TOS. It is currently
supported by Dirk Klemmt's POVShell and Arno Welzel's replacement Desktop,
"Thing", although more programs are expected to support it in the future.
Now in English.
CHAMELEON CUSTOMISER V1.1 by Jeffrey Krzysztow - Allows you to patch the ACC
loader Chameleon so that it automatically loads a specified ACC, defaults to
a specific path for ACCs and alter the key combination required to unload an
ACC.
HTML_2KRZ by Wils Ekholm - A *.KRZ-File for Everest. It is designed to speed
up the development of HTML v2.0 documents using the Everest text editor (or
an editor that can handle Everest *.KRZ Files). This should reduce the
amount of tedious typing etc.
PINATUBO V1.8.1 by Michael Schwingen - Universal driver for Maxon's Junior-
and Easyprommer as well as the Vesuv of Rossm*ller device. Also supported is
a Megabit adaptor (supports 27010-27080 devices) as published (as a DIY
project) in ST Computer as well as 16-bit EPROMs via the SWB16 adaptor.
Unfortunately both program and docs are in German.
PSPRINT by Dr Karl Albert Brokstad - The ultimate intention of this program
is that you should be able to drag any text file onto it and it will
translate the file into PostScript format, which is either stored or sent to
the printer. At the moment it can only handle simple text files but may be
extended to handle pictures (*.IMG) and drawings (*.GEM).
ZCONTROL V0.24+ by Ralf Zimmermann - This is a beta version and runs ONLY
under multi-tasking Systems. It will bomb-out if you try to start it under
Single TOS. ZCONTROL is an alternative to XCONTROL (without the bugs) and
will load the same CPX modules. It supports the following protocols:- Drag &
Drop, Iconify (supports the Iconify Server by Dirk Haun if OS does not
ordinarily support iconfication) and the AV protocol and allows you to run
up to four different modules at the same time. Zcontrol can be operated via
keyboard or mouse and offers the user a great deal of control over CPX's.
Shareware with support through CyberSTrider in the UK.
PACK-CDK by Philippe Galmel - Comprehensive Shareware program for Calamus
users which gives the ability to send Calamus files to a bureau or another
machine for output. The program outputs the selected documents, all fonts
used and an ASCII comment file (with printing instructions for each
document) to either a folder or LZH archive. Archiver included. Thanks to
Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation.
JARXXX by Dan Wilga - Identical in concept to COOKIEXX above, making a fully
functional Cookie Jar available to users of TOS versions below 1.6.
CEADEP by Cajun - A file encryption program. It scrambles your file using
any chosen password, but beware, it overwrites the original file and can
only be restored by entering the correct password. For those who need more
security, you can use two passwords. CEADEP can also scrubs files
(permanently erase them) from your disk. Docs in ST Guide format, ST Guide
Lite supplied on disk.
N_MENTIM V1.3 by Noud van Kruysbergen. - An accessory which shows the
current time and date in the accessory menu bar. These are taken from the
GEMDOS time and not from the keyboard.
SGDOS - SpeedoGDOS drivers for the HP Deskjet 550C, Epson Stylus Colour,
Canon LPN-8IV and Texas Microwriter. Please note that you will only get
colour output from these drivers if running SpeedoGDOS 5.
SPECIAL DATABASE FOR DIABETICS V1.2 by Paul Mountain - A custom written
Shareware database for people who suffer from Insulin Dependent Diabetes
Mellitus (IDDM) but will also be of use to those with Non Insulin Dependent
Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM). It has been extensively researched and works like
a diary, storing daily statistics such as blood glucose concentrations,
insulin dosage, and the time these readings were taken. It can display the
data numerically or as a bar graph or pie chart.

CD EXAMINER V0.2ß by Peter Hilbring - Allows you to perform a number of low
level functions (start/stop motor, read sectors, read disk capacity, get
manufacturer's info, park heads, play audio tracks, eject a disc and set
output volume) on a SCSI CD ROM drive.
DIRECT DRIVE V1.0 - Read the directory of a floppy or a hard drive partition
and print or save the listing. The directory can also be printed in a format
suitable for a 3.5" disk label. You can specify the depth of folders to be
displayed and the type of sorting used. There are also a number of helpful
utility functions included.
PROLOCK! v1.09 by Carl Hafner - Designed to lock access to your system in
the event that you leave your computer unattended. Simply activate Prolock!
and leave your computer. You will have to enter the correct password upon
your return in order to regain access. If anyone tries to access your
computer by rebooting, the ACC version will prompt for the password during
the boot up process.
NEORAM V1.03 by Carl Hafner - An Auto folder program which automatically re-
installs your chosen volume label for NeoDesk's ramdisk each time you boot
up. This program is only of use if you own a copy of NeoDesk!
RSCTRANS v1.0 by Michael Schwingen - Extracts the text entries from RSC
files into an ASCII file for the purposes of translation. The translated
text may then be replaced into the original RSC. Unfortunately the program
and docs are in German, but we've done a RUF translation of the docs.
UNCLE RAM IV by Carl Hafner - Displays the size of the largest block of free
memory, TOS version, TOS creation date, time and date. It can also be used
to perform a warm or cold boot. Can be run as a PRG or ACC. When run as an
ACC, it can be useful for finding out how much free memory is available from
within any GEM program.
TCACHE V6.4 - Caches hard drive reads and writes. Almost everything is user
configurable with different setting being possible for different drives.
Drives can also be password protected to prevent unauthorised access.
ARJ_BETA 9.97A by The TOS Crew - This is possibly the first ST
implementation of the ARJ compressing system and is currently being updated
and modified with a user interface promised soon. Much work has and is being
done on this comprehensive compressing system. Very extensive documentation
is included with ARJ.BETA and the various supplied versions of UNARJ.
Documentation does include various ways to get ARJ.BETA up and running
either by using an alternative Desktop or installing as an installed
application. The UNARJ programs supplied are FAST and the tables provided
show that this implementation of ARJ is a powerful contender against ZIP and
LHARC etc.
DA CAPO by Dr Francisco Mendez - A comprehensive name and address database
program. As well as being a nice easy to use database program, Da Capo
supports GDOS fonts, non-modal 3D dialogs, the GEM Clipboard, colour icons
and the AV protocol. It has very flexible import and export facilities and a
powerful search engine. There's even an Auto folder program to remind you
about forthcoming birthdays and other important events. Printout is
supported to most popular 9-pin, 24-pin, Deskjet and Laser printers. Perhaps
the best database program ever written! Program now in English but docs in
German. This Shareware version limits the number of records you can enter,
apart from that it's fully functional.
DRUG GLOSSARY by W G Jones - A Supercard (included on disk) format database
containing brief details of over 2200 generic and brand-named drugs,
together with a range of vitamins, minerals and other preparations often
used as drugs.

DIRSORT V1.1 by Christoph Zwerschke - Allows you to re-order your Auto
folder programs, ACCs and CPXs, so that they load up in a specified
sequence. Automatically reads the Auto folder and root directory of your
boot drive, but can be changed within the program.
DISK CAKE V2.1 by Christoph Zwerschke - Displays disk usage as a pie chart.
You can of course specify any disk/partition or an individual directory.
Double-click files to display their attributes. Double-click folders to
display a pie chart of their contents. Lots of user configurable options.
TWP - Converts Thats Write or Wordplus v4 files to Word Perfect 5 format or
Word Perfect 5 & 6 files to Thats Write format.
RESET_FA - Simply place in an Auto folder, then every time you pres
CTRL+ALT+DEL, you are given the option to perform a reset or return to GEM.
Handy when a program crashes the system. RGB ONLY, doesn't work on TOS 4.04.
PAL - Toggles RGB monitors between 50 hz and 60 hz. Place in an Auto folder
to boot up in 60 Hz (UK and European users only). RGB ONLY.
MAGGIE BOOT by The Resevoir Gods - Writes a bootsector which displays the
'Maggie' logo, some text and morphs some shapes. The installer corrects a
bug in TOS's "force media change" routine, so that the directories of new
disks are always read (prevents the wrong data getting written to the disk).
MOVIE BOX 2.6 by Kari Heimonen - A custom written database designed
specifically for the film enthusiast. You can enter such details as stars,
co-stars, director, photographer, film company, year of release and so on.
These categories can be used for performing searches and the results can be
viewed or printed. There's also links to additional data where you can put
in a short write up, your own comments and transcribe any reviews. This
Shareware version stores details of up to 50 films. Register for the
unlimited version.
MARK BUTLER ENCRYPTION V1.01 by Manfred Ssykor - A data
encryption/decryption program named after the person who devised the
encryption algorithm. It doesn't claim to be as secure as PGP but is much
easier to use, takes up less disk space and should be more than adequate for
personal use.
ISHAR SURVIVAL KIT - A collection of hints and tips and maps for the game
Ishar - Legend Of The Fortress. Also included is a character editor for the
game, which loads up a saved game and allows you to edit your character.
Includes a text file giving some info on using the kit on the Falcon.
GOD LOAD by The Resevoir Gods - Frees up the maximum amount of memory on
your machine prior to loading a demo, by Auto loading the demo prior to
initialising GEM. Particularly invaluable for those demos which need your
Falcon's entire memory to be free prior to running.
MAGGIE FALCON FIXES by The Resevoir Gods - Patches the loaders of all issues
of Maggie prior to #18 so that they run on the Falcon. Patched programs
remain compatible with the ST. It also patches many of the programs given
away with the different issues.
ELFBACK V2.4 - A hard drive backup utility which uses compression to fit
more data onto each disk. It can format HD disks and allows you to select
individual files to be backed up or restored. It even supports incremental
backups.
DS FIX - Corrects a bug in Multi-TOS v1.00 to 1.08 in the dosound() call so
that programs which use this call to determine if an FM sound is already
playing, no longer crash if this patch is installed.
DISK BOX V1.2 by Kari Heimonen - A custom written database which allows you
to keep track of your floppy disk collection. It reads in the directory of a
disk and stores the names, sizes and date/time stamp of the files in the
database. Comments can be added to disks as well as individual files.
Searching can be performed on program name or disk/program comments. You can
even compare the contents of a disk in the drive to its database entry just
in case any files have changed. This Shareware version allows 40 disks to be
held in the database. The full version has this restriction removed.
DARKROOM - The software needed to drive the X10 Powerhouse Controller on
your Atari. This is a PC interface which plugs into the serial port and
allows you to control up to 256 tasks, each of which can contain up to 128
different steps. These tasks can typically be things like switching on the
lights at a certain time of day or switching off your burglar alarm just
before you get home from work. In other words, in association with the
hardware interface (which you will have to source yourself), it controls
household appliances by remote control.
CIVILFIX by Olaf Güthe - Allows you to play the ST version of Civilisation
on the Falcon.
CAL TIFF by Lance Squire - Fixes 'illegal' TIFF saves created using the
Bridge module for Calamus SL so that they can be read by most PC and Mac
software.
APP LIST V0.4 by Ralph Zimmerman - A Multi-TOS/MagiC utility which displays
information on all currently running tasks. It displays the applications ID,
program type and memory used for each application. Information is updated in
real time.
ADAPTAKEY PATCH by OXO Concept - French AUTO Folder program which allows you
to customise your keyboard to the layout of that for other countries. Thanks
to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for translating the docs into English.
ANOTHER CD-PLAYER (ACDP) V1.01 by Christian Mittendorf - Audio CD driver for
use with MetaDOS. It has been designed for use on the Falcon with
FALCON_BOS. ACDP has many functions which include playing the audio tracks,
reading the actual table of contents of the CD, stopping the song, changing
to the next song and more. Runs as a PRG or ACC.
680X0CAC V0.2 by Ralph Zimmerman - A CPX module which lets you set the data,
instruction and ST RAM caches on or off. Invaluable if you want to run ST
games on your Falcon.

MARCEL V2.34+ - An excellent Freeware word processor from The States. Marcel
has a number of features which rank it over and above many of its
competitors. It loads text in ASCII, 1st Word, Wordplus, Word Perfect 4.1,
RTF formats and saves in ASCII, RTF and Wordplus. Marcel includes a built-in
spell checker (with 45,000 words!), supports numerous layout styles and
different fonts. Keyboard shortcuts are available for almost every function
and commonly used words and phrases may be programmed onto the function
keys. There are lots of extras like the ability to set the time/date,
display a corner clock, insert the date into your documents and both
alphabetical and numerical sorting of lists. A very highly specified word
processor. Well documented on disk, with the full manual available from
CyberSTryder in the UK. Needs 1 Meg.
TO DO V1.01 by Reiner Rosin - Described as an alternative to cluttering up
your desk with bits of paper! I allows you to assign lists of things to do.
Each list can have as many items as you want and the individual items can be
given a priority value from 1 to 3 and can be marked with a tick (or
removed) when done. Lists can be output to screen, printer or clipboard or
edited at any time. Probably the best invention since Post-It notes! Runs as
a PRG or ACC.
LISTFONT v2.1 by Mathew Carey - Outputs an ASCII listing of all fonts in a
specified directory. It supports TrueType, Calamus, Calligrapher, PostScript
Types 1 & 3, GDOS, SpeedoGDOS (BitStream), GhostScript, PageStream and
Compugraphic font formats. It outputs full pathname, file type, file name
and full font name (especially useful with SpeedoGDOS fonts where the
filename bears no relationship to the font name. The output file is
formatted in such a way as to be easily imported into most database
programs.
ADDRESS V2.20 by Carsten Setje-Eilers - A superb Shareware name and address
database package. As soon as you load this one, the presentation hits you
right between the eyes! It is very professionally designed and everything
can be accessed via icons, drop down menus or keyboard shortcuts. It allows
you to perform recursive searches eg; if more than one match is found on the
first criteria, it searches on the second, then the third (if appropriate).
This can save a lot of time, especially when looking through the Smiths!
Lots of search criteria are supported, including the ability to search
backwards or forwards, find strings within words (or whole words only) and
sort birthdays by date and/or age. Printout is supported via 1st Word
printer drivers, so you are almost certain to find a driver for your
printer. Data can be exported to the GEM clipboard and you can even dial
someone's telephone number direct from their record card, if a modem is
attached. Data can be imported or exported in ASCII format or directly
to/from any application with supports the Xacc protocol. This version limits
the number of entries, register for the full version to remove the
limitation. All in all one of the best electronic address books around.

PROGINFO v1.7 by Chris Ridd - A CPX which allows you to tamper with program
header flags. You can set up Multi-TOS parameters and alternative memory
settings as well as switched the fastload bit on/off. Very highly
recommended.
UDO V6 - An application designed to automate the conversion from UDO
(Universal DOcument) format to ASCII, ManualPage, ST Guide, LaTeX, Pure-C
Help, RTF, HTML and WinHelp on-line documentation formats. The idea is that
you learn just one syntax, that of UDO. You then run your source file
through this utility to convert it into as many of the supported formats as
you require, thus eliminating the need to learn the command syntax for the
other on-line help systems. It does work and it works well at that. It's
just a shame that you can only convert from UDO, rather than between any two
of the supported formats.
CLICK RUN v1.2 by David Reitter - The best program launcher ever! You set it
up so that each page contains similar type programs. The programs themselves
are represented by icons, similar to those used on the Desktop. It is then a
case of selecting the appropriate group, then the correct icon from that
group. Probably the most elegant way of accessing every file on your hard
drive with a couple of mouse clicks, overcoming the maximum number of icons
which can ordinarily be placed on the Desktop. Runs as a PRG or ACC (if you
have a replacement Desktop which supports the AV Protocol). Some
restrictions on this unregistered version.

CALCUL by Ondrej Spanel - A calculator which runs as a PRG or ACC. It
supports all common arithmetic and trigonometrical expressions and (when
running as an ACC) allows the results to be sent directly into your
spreadsheet, word processor or any other GEM based application which
supports keyboard input.
BOOTMENU V2.15 by Fred Nicklisch - Yet another boot manager. This one lets
you keep all your DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF files and CPXs in folders, create
customised setups which can be easily selected, and you can even configure
the program layout to a certain extent. You can set the time/date, specify
the extension for disabled files and select the sort mode. You can even copy
any file to any other location, making it ideal for setting up those custom
designed ASSIGN.SYS files for your various GDOS applications. One of the
better boot managers.
THING BACKGROUND COLLECTION - A collection of almost 50 colour IMGs designed
to be used with the Thing replacement Desktop on UTL.5169. They replace the
plain Desktop with a nice graphic screen, usually made up of lots of small
tiles which blend together seamlessly. These Desktop backdrops (as they are
called) can of course be used with other Desktop replacements such as
NeoDesk and Ease or with the GEM Desktop using Deskpic on F.3982.
CALL FSELECTOR V1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX which calls up the GEM file
selector (or your chosen replacement) from within any GEM based program.
ENHANCE EXTEND.SYS V1.0 by Vincent Godefroy - Adds the name of SpeedoGDOS
fonts as a commented line above their file name in the EXTEND.SYS file so
that you can easily identify which file name relates to which font.
Invaluable!
BAVARIAN EVENT MANAGER V1.06 by Michael Pieper - A sort of Calendar/reminder
type program which offers a few extras. These include the ability to launch
certain programs at specified times, carry out pre-defined tasks and such
like. It can watch for data on the AUX, MODEM1, MODEM2, MODEM3, MODEM4 and
MIDI ports and take appropriate action as specified in your setup. The
program is really designed for use under Multi-TOS or MagiC but can also run
as an ACC under single TOS. Looks very useful but both program and docs are
in German (although we've done a RUF translation of the docs). Would anyone
like to undertake a full translation?
ANTIDOTE V3.7 by Kai Holst - A comprehensive virus killer program, in fact
one of the best. It recognises 211 harmless bootsectors, 155 resident
programs, 64 cookie identifiers, 6 anti-viruses, 21 file packers/archivers,
64 bootsector viruses and 5 link viruses. In addition, it performs a full
system analysis and leeks you peek inside the cookie jar. It's not quite
UVK, but it's damned close to it!
SUBSAVE 0.3b by Eniac of DRB - A cheat program which allows you to alter the
data (game level, health and armoury) in saved Substation games.
TTF-SPD 1.0 by Vincent Godefroy - A sort of boot manager for fonts. It scans
your font directory and shows a listing of which True Type and SpeedoGDOS,
allowing you to enable or disabled them with nothing more than a mouse
click. If using NVDI 3, you can just rescan the fonts to have the changes
take effect. With SpeedoGDOS you have to reboot.
SQ_PATCH by Trevor Blight - Patches the GDOS NEC P6 driver (not included) to
create an Epson Stylus 360 dpi driver.
RTFACC V1.0 by Vincent Godefroy - Designed primarily for use with Atari
Works, although it will also be of use with other packages which support the
RTF format but not characters above ASCII 127 (HEX 7F). Simply specify an
accented character by its hex code eg; 82 in an RTF file. Now run this
program suitably renamed eg; RTFACC82.PRG and it will replace all
occurrences of character 82 with é.
PROFLAG by Albert Moest - Allows you to inspect and change a program's
header flags as used by Multi-TOS and TOS 1.4 upwards. You can set the
fastload bit on/off, specify the use of alternative memory and set the
Multi-TOS memory protection parameters.
KEYCODES V1.0 by Mark Baines - A CPX which lets you type in any key
combination and displays its key scan code, shift state, and key ASCII code.
These are displayed in decimal, hex and octal.
ICO2RSC v1.10 by Dirk Haun - Converts an entire directory of 16 colour 32x32
Windows ICO format icons into RSC files for use with TOS 2 upwards. It
handles the conversion automatically and places a maximum of 64 icons in
each RSC file. All in German but program is obvious and we've done a RUF
translation of the docs.
SYNCFIX - If your VGA monitor flickers and sometimes gives an unstable
picture, you have a timing problem in your Falcon. Run this small patch to
fix it. The supplied test program checks your computer first to see if the
patch is required.
DATE_DAY v1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX which takes any valid date as its input
and returns the day, the day number and the week number (in the year) for
the specified date. Please note that this does not take account of the
change from the Julian to Gregorian calendars.
FONTSEL V1.09 by Holger Weets & Christoph Zwerschke - An attempt at a
universal (Speedo)GDOS font selector. Many programs call up the GEM file
selector (or your chosen alternative) when you wish to choose a font. With
Fontsel installed, it is called up instead offering a simple choice of font
names, point sizes and text attributes from a simple menu. You can also
preview standard text or indeed the entire character set of your font,
displayed at the chosen size, from within Fontsel. Other useful information
is also given about the selected font. Even if your GDOS application refuses
to hook into Fontsel in place of its own font selector, it's still worth
running as an ACC due its enhanced features.
VIDEL INSIDE (VI) V2.04 by François Galea - The most powerful software based
resolution booster on the market. It increases the screen resolution on RGB
monitors/TVs (up to 1664x595), ST mono monitors(up to 768x1024) and VGA/SVGA
monitors (up to 864x768). The actual maximum resolution will differ from one
monitor to another. What sets it aside from the others is that you can even
design your own custom resolutions, although particular care needs to be
taken when doing this. Now with English docs.

MULTI-DIALOG V1.03 - Intercepts GEM dialog boxes and puts them into a GEM
window. The result of this is that you can access the menu bar or other
applications while a dialog box is being displayed. This is of course most
useful under Multi-TOS.
EPSON STYLUS V2.05 by B Noonan - A 720 dpi Stylus Colour printer driver for
use with PageStream.
MENUINFO V2.42 by Dirk Hagedorn - Displays a caps lock indicator, shows if
files have been accessed on your hard drive, auto tops the window beneath
the mouse, activates a screen blanker after a specified period of
inactivity, forces screen redraws, has a built-in alarm clock facility,
opens a table of the ASCII character set and so forth. In addition, MenuInfo
can be customised to display the messages you want it to show eg; date/time,
mouse coordinates, largest block of free memory etc. You can even specify
how you want the time/date displayed and add various other trivia such as
TOS version, AES version, Cookie Jar size, MagiC version, scancode of last
key pressed etc; in the menu bar too! Runs as a PRG under Multi-TOS or as an
ACC under normal TOS. Info is normally displayed at the top right of the GEM
Desktop in the menu bar but can optionally be output to a GEM window.
NAME NET 4.2 by Roger Derry - A welcome upgrade to this popular Shareware
electronic address book. Unlike most database type programs, NameNet is not
merely a computerised card index system. It works by way of links.
Initially, a link is useful in reminding you that a specific entry is linked
to another. However, as the database expands, each entry may be linked to
several groups, so that you can locate someone by name, by occupation, by
membership of a specific club etc. The good thing is that, if the individual
moves house, his entry in all sections is updated. Similarly, if the club
moves, all references to its address on members' entries are updated. All
entries are categorised by type, Person, Business, Service etc; and
different icons represent different types. Another useful feature is its
sorting ability. If two or more entries with the same surname are found,
they are then sub-ordered by first name, something most other databases
ignore. NameNet is GEM based and designed with ease of use in mind.
Everything can be done with just a few clicks of the mouse and sub-groups
can sent to the printer just as easily. There's even an on-line Help system.
Data can be imported and exported in ASCII format and both mailing labels
and filofax compatible printout can be output from NameNet in addition to
simple printout of data. A very well thought out and professionally
presented program. An ACC version allows you to view data from within other
programs.
ORCS (Otto's RCS) by Thornsten Otto - A Resource Construction Set which
claims to be better than WERCS, K-Resource and Atari's own RCS2. These
claims are easily backed up! Despite being written for the ST, ORCS is fully
Falcon compatible and indeed one of the most fully featured packages of its
type. The docs are in both English and German and all menus are in English.
WPG V0.5 by Robert Best - Allows you to load and view graphics in Word
Perfect (v5 & v6) WPG format. They can also be resaved in IMG format.
CD RECORDER V1.02 by Dirk Haun - Lets you record audio samples from audio
CDs and save them directly to your hard drive in WAV or AVR format. The
samples can be 8-bit or 16-bit stereo or mono and can be sampled at 22 khz
or 44 khz. Needs a CD-ROM drive, appropriate driver software (MetaDOS or
ExtenDOS) and a device driver which supports audio commands (such as
FALCON.BOS). Multi-TOS compatible. Program and docs in German, but we've
done a RUF translation of the docs.
CD PLAY_Y - An audio CD player for use with MetaDOS. Rename the _Y to
reflect the drive letter which represents your own CD-ROM drive.

BIGDOS 8 by Rainer Seitel - An ISO 9293 replacement file system which
completely replaces the GEMDOS of TOS (but not MagiC). BIGDOS, as the name
suggests, replaces GEMDOS with an MS-DOS compatible file system and
therefore allows you to connect PC formatted hard drives and removable media
devices (such as ZIP drives, Syquests etc) and read their contents directly.
Files saved from your Atari to these devices can then be read directly when
connected to a PC. BIGDOS supports up to 32 partitions and 65518 clusters.
Cluster size can be anything from 1 to 65 sectors, thus supporting a maximum
32K cluster size. Partition sizes can easily exceed the 32 Mb size limit
imposed by pre-TOS 4 machines. BIGDOS requires an XHDI 1.20 compliant hard
disk driver to be installed. A patch is included to update the latest AHDI
driver (on F.3983) to these specifications. If you are using HD Driver v4.51
or later, you don't need the patch as that driver is fully XHDI compatible.
Docs in English and German.
XHDI v1.25 by Julian Reischke - Full specifications of the XHDI standard
which support mass storage media and allows you to address more than 16
partitions on your Atari. Includes C source. Docs in English and German.
DF by Julian Reschke - A program which gives info on any hard drive, but
specifically XHDI compliant ones. For techies only!
PATCH 1.2U - Takes a file containing any of the four recognised difference
listings produced by I.diff and patches a specified original file. Suitable
for use to patch your existing AHDI driver to XHDI standard for use with
BIGDOS. Includes C source.
GENEVA 004 UPGRADE PATCH - Patches v003 of Gribnif's Geneva multi-tasking
operating system to v004. The new version is a major upgrade over its
predecessor with lots of new features and several bug fixes. All Geneva
users are advised to upgrade. Please note that you will require original
Geneva v003 master disks in order to perform the upgrade. If you don't
already have Geneva, this disk is of no use to you.
START ME UP V0.01 - Allows you to start up ACCs after boot up if running
Multi-TOS, Geneva or MagiC 4. Won't run on single TOS.
CALAMUS TABLE GENERATOR V1.2 by Michal Setlak - Create tables easily with
this useful utility and export them in CVG format ready for import into
Calamus. Docs in English and Polish. Program in French and Polish! Icon
based, so very easy to understand.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY V1.4 - A double-height screen emulator for your Falcon.
It is most useful with RGB monitors where is springs into action if it
detects an interlaced mode. In these cases, the interlace vanishes and is
replaced by a double-height flicker free display. FYEO also works on VGA
monitors but only in cases where a resolution booster such as ScreenBlaster
or BlowUp 030 drives the monitor in an interlaced mode. In non-interlaced
modes, FYEO simply sits dormant. Ideally suited to anyone with bad eyesight.

LOOK 'N SEE v0.95 by Reiner Rosin - A very comprehensive file viewer. It
allows you to load, view, save and print probably more file types than
anything else available. Here's a few of its supported formats:- Monochrome
- IMG, PAC, PCB, CRG, ZFAX, QFAX, COMA, Papyrus (PRN), Calamus (print to
disk), Quicklink faxes and Junior Office faxes. Colour graphics - GIF, TIFF,
JPEG, Targa, BMP, XIMG, PCX, IFF, FLI, Photo CD, Degas and more. It also
supports the viewing of hex dumps, mono RSC files and GEM Metafiles. Fonts
in GDOS (both Intel and Motorola variants), Signum 2 and Calamus formats can
also be displayed and sound samples in CrazySound, Sample-Wizard and
Totosound formats can be played. You can even peek around inside LZH and ZIP
archives and uuencode/uudecode files! Look 'N See is intelligent in that it
can even display (or play) data which has been saved using the wrong
extender as it analyses the data rather than just relying on the file
extension. Look 'N See is modular in construction and has been available in
Germany for some time. Consequently there are a number of third party
modules available (99 of which are included!) which allow you to load or
post-process images, text and samples. A unique feature of this application
is its ability to view 'virtual' files. In other words, it loads files which
are too large to fit into the available memory, in sections. There's also a
number of conversion modules which convert 1st Word, PostScript and ST Guide
files to ASCII. Look 'N See can be installed as an application so that
double-clicking an appropriate data file loads it directly into the package.
It may also be run as a PRG or ACC (needs 4 Mb) and is fully Multi-TOS,
MagiC, MagiCMac, Freedom, Selectric, XACC, AV_protocol, drag & drop and ICFS
compatible! In addition, up to 7 external programs can be called if running
as ACCs (or PRGs if multi-tasking) from within Look 'N See. Printing is
supported via GDOS. This Shareware version reminds you that you have not
registered and displays the second and subsequent images in greyscale. Apart
from that it is fully functional. Look 'N See has around 250K of English
docs on disk and includes ST Guide help.

DESKICON.RSC - Almost 1000 colour Desktop icons for incorporation into your
own DESKICON.RSC file. These have been converted from Windows on the PC and
are supplied as standard RSC format files. You can use any of the available
Shareware icon editors (ICDRAW on F.4782, Kaleido on F5167 or TOS 4 Icon
Editor on F.5294) to edit these and incorporate them into your own
DESKICON.RSC file.
DESKTILE V0.7 by Andreas Mayer - Combines a tile and a mask (both randomly
chosen) to create a boot up picture. When used in conjunction with Deskpic
on UTL.4271 (and Deskpic set to use the appropriately named image), the
bootup picture is used as a Desktop backdrop, giving you a randomly chosen
backdrop each time you boot up! Only mono images are supplied, but it works
with colour images too.
FREE SPACE by Vanel Rémi - Quickly and easily displays the free space on
each of the drives connected to your system as well as giving combined total
of free space on the system. Runs as a PRG or ACC. Multi-TOS friendly.
REMARKER '96 V0.72E by Christoph Spengler - Allows you to add comments to
ST-Guide hypertexts easily. The remarks are essentially ASCII files which
appear in stylish pop-up windows from within the hypertext when you double-
click their entry in the text. Just what you need to jazz up those on-line
docs. Runs as a PRG or ACC and integrates well with ST-Guide (not included)
when running as an ACC. Well documented (in ST-Guide format of course!).

GENFIXER 1.3 by Anthony Jacques - Another attempt at a generic STOS fixer
program. This one is more or less based on Robert Quezada's STOSFIX 3 but
without the TOS 1.2 incompatibility bug! It allows you to fix any compiled
STOS Basic file to run on up to ten operating systems of your choice. We
suggest you fix for TOS versions 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.62, 2.06 and 4.01 (a
generic patch that also works for 4.0, 4.02 and 4.04) as these ensure
compatibility with about 99.9% of Atari machines ever sold! A highly
recommended program designed to get all your old favourites up and running
on the Falcon.
DIAMOND EDGE V2.04 PATCH - Updates v2.0, 2.01, 2.02 or 2.03 of the hard disk
optimising/defragmenting and editing tool, Diamond Edge, to v2.04. Please
note that this is only a patch program, you need to have an original of the
relevant version of Diamond Edge, otherwise it is of no use to you.
CIVILISATION F030 PATCH - Patched files for the game Civilisation which
allow it to run on the Falcon. Needless to say, you need the original game
in order to make use of this patch.
DJ_WWRTR - A printer driver which allows you to print to a Hewlett Packard
Deskjet from within Timeworks Wordwriter.
GEM FONTVIEW v1.09e by Reinhard Bartel - Displays any installed GDOS font in
a GEM window. The font may be bitmapped or vector based (as in the case of
SpeedoGDOS fonts) and can be displayed at any size up to 72 point (1 inch
high) provided that the resident version of GDOS allows this. In the case of
vector fonts, all characters (including those above ASCII 255) are displayed
with GEM FontView, unlike other font display programs. Runs as an ACC or PRG
but requires a version of GDOS, SpeedoGDOS or NVDI (3 or 4) to be installed.
AUSPACK V1.16 by Fred Nicklisch - A nice easy to use archiver shell. It
allow you to specify up to 20 different archived files (more than actually
exist!) and locate the relevant archiver program (not included) to do the
job. It is then a case of selecting the source and destination directories
and the contents of all archives in the source directory will be extracted
to the destination directory. Ideal for mass extraction of files after a
lengthy download. Program and docs in both English and German. Multi-TOS
compatible.
SCREEN ARTIST V1.1 by Massimo Farina - One of the best TT/Falcon screen
savers around and what's more it's PD! Screen Artist runs in any resolution
of 640x400 or greater with at least 16 colours. It comes complete with 45
built-in screen saver modules which include fractals, roving eyes, 3D cubes,
a starfield, a user defined message and my favourite, a watch which keeps
time accurately. Screen Artist runs as an ACC and you can set the required
idle time before it jumps into action. It's also Multi-TOS compatible,
graphic card compatible and includes sound support, so where's the catch?
Screen Artist requires an FPU to be installed.

EXTRACTOR FAN V1.0 by Movement Software - A handy program which copies only
the files which have been changed (within a specified directory) to an
alternative directory of your choice. It does this my using the archive bit
in the file headers. Invaluable for backing up data without having to either
copy everything or remember which files you've altered recently. Needs TOS
1.4 or later.
EXTENDOS PRO UPDATE TO V2.3a - Updates v2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 of Anondyne
Software's CD ROM driver software to v2.3a. The latest features include
direct to disk recording to SCSI hard drives, MetaDOS 2.3 DOS to BOS drive
mapping for programs which need this, Midi-COM support, universal SCSI 2
compatibility for unrecognised drives, new features for CD Audio and a host
of bug fixes. Please note that this patch is of no use to you unless you
already have ExtenDOS Pro v2.1, 2.2 or 2.3. Includes a ZIP (you'll need ST
Zip on F.4351 to decompress it) file containing details of 1000 CD-ROMs
which can be made to run on your Atari!
MOST VIEWER by Brian Grier - A front end which lets you use the PC version
of Compton's New Media CD-ROMs on your Atari. They all use Compton's
M.O.S.T. technology, therefore this player works with all M.O.S.T.
compatible titles. It brings up the index of the CD-ROM and lets you browse
through the various articles. You can even use the built-in search feature
to locate the articles you require. Registered users get an improved version
of the software which includes sound support, displays the graphics linked
to the articles and lets you access the dictionary supplied on all M.O.S.T.
titles. Obviously you'll require a CD-ROM drive, driver software and an
appropriate Compton's CD-ROM in order to use this software.
FILE FLAG MANAGER V1.03 by Kai Holst - A nice easy to use program which
allows you to change a program's header flags. These control the Fastload
bit, whether the program can use alternative memory and whether it can run
in alternative memory. What makes this program different is that you decide
whether a flag is to switched on or off for either of the two supported
'sets'. You then determine which file extensions belong to each set. Click
onto a drive (or partition) and all files matching your chosen extensions
will have their header flags changed to your specifications. It's as easy as
that.
WINCOM v1.6UK by Sven Kopacz - Improves window handling and other system
functions when running under MagiC or MagiC Mac. In addition, it allows most
window functions to be accessed by keyboard shortcuts. Wincom supports the
hiding or showing of windows belonging to selected applications, has various
iconification functions (use with ALICE - see below), allows window cycling
(between those belonging to a chosen application or between all windows) and
swapping between applications. It also has various window topping functions,
can switch the mouse on/off and even has its own built-in task manager.
Wincom now supports up to 64 applications with a total maximum of 64 open
windows. Now fully translated into English.
ALL ICONIFY ENABLER (ALICE) V0.9 by Sven Kopacz - An Auto folder program
which allows any program to be iconified (shrunk down into a small window
the size of an icon). The only catch is that it requires an operating system
which supports iconification. These are currently MagiC >=v3, MagiC Mac
>=v1.2.4, Multi-TOS, Geneva and N.AES. Please note that only the first two
of these are supported in this initial release of ALICE. Connect, Thing,
Freedom and several other modern applications already support iconification
under the appropriate operating systems. ALICE brings this same
functionality to older programs too.
HARD DISK OPTIMIZER V2.6 by H P Vetter - One of the smartest looking hard
disk optimisers and defragmenters around. It checks for data errors (FAT
mismatches, directory problems, lost clusters etc), physical errors (faulty
sectors) and fixes these. It can also defragment your drive too. Multi-TOS
compatible and very simple to use. It doesn't look as pretty as Diamond Edge
but it does its job well. Program in English but docs in German, although
we've done a rough translation.

GHOSTSCRIPT V3.53 by Aladdin Enterprises - A Freeware PostScript language
interpreter along similar lines to UltraScript and CompoScript. It conforms
with level 2 of the PostScript language and allows you to view or print (to
non-PostScript printers) PostScript pages such as those created using
PageStream 2 and various DTP applications on both the PC and Mac. You can
also view or print graphics saved in PostScript format. This latest version
of the software also supports Adobe's PDF (Portable Document Format), a DTP
file format which can be used in different DTP packages. GhostScript
currently allows you to print your files to Atari SLM, HP Deskjet (incl
colour models), Canon BJ series, Epson 9-pin, Epson 24-pin (incl colour
models), Epson ESC P2, Epson Stylus and NEC P6 series printers. This makes
it ideal for previewing your work prior to taking it to your PostScript
bureau. Alternatively the page (or graphic) can be saved in IMG, PBM or PPM
graphic file formats. Needs 4 Mb of memory and a hard drive.

NO!DESK V3.04 by no!Software - An innovative Shareware replacement Desktop
from one of Germany's leading Atari developers. No!Desk goes further than
most products of this type (eg; icons on the Desktop, jazzed up interface,
file aliases etc) with everything being fully customisable to your own
preference. It can even be used in conjunction with MagiC, Multi-TOS or
Geneva to provide a fully multi-tasking compatible interface for those
systems. No!Desk can be operate (if required) as a multi-user system and
includes built-in multi-user management and password protection for use with
such systems. It makes use of a modern 3D interface and shared libraries to
reduce memory overhead when running programs which are no!System (included
with the package) aware. Unlike other replacement Desktops, No!Desk is
object orientated and you yourself can define the rules as to what action is
performed when any two objects interact. Better still, why not have a pop-up
menu to give you a choice of different actions? There's even a CLI window so
that you can use No!Desk's built-in programming language directly from
within the system. Also of note is the fact that No!Desk has its own
archiver drivers (view or extract contents of LZH and ZOO archives by
double-clicking them), graphic drivers (view IMG, IFF, CRG, PBM, PI1, TPI
and other formats by double-clicking them) and scripting language (so that
you can automate routine tasks). A very highly polished Shareware product.
Now in English. Needs a hard drive.

7-UP V2.3 by Michael Thanitz - The English version of this popular German
Shareware text editor. Calling 7-UP a text editor is a little misleading as
it is really more of a word processor, featuring word wrap, (Speedo)GDOS
support, a text preview option and so forth. It's very fast, especially
considering that it is fully GEMmed. Up to 7 texts may be worked on
simultaneously from 7-UP's built-in Desktop. Printout is supported to Epson
ESC P2 or IBM Proprinter models or to any installed printer using GDOS. The
information dialog is very useful giving a wealth of info on your currently
selected document (it can even do a word count on a block). 7-UP is multi-
tasking friendly, supports the GEM Clipboard, allows UNDO for most
operations, supports keyboard shortcuts (as well as the use of drop down
menus) and is very customisable. The search facility is probably the most
powerful around, allowing you to search the whole document, individual
pages, individual blocks, search for markers in the text, search for block
start/end etc. All in all, a very polished piece of software. Well
documented in ST-Guide, TEX and ASCII formats. Unfortunately the docs are
still in German but we've done a RUF translation.

TOS PATCHES - Don Maple has put together a collection of all known patch
programs designed to cure various bugs in all TOS versions from v1.0 (the
first ROM TOS) up to v4.04. There's also a text file describing the changes
made to each TOS version (prior to the Falcon) over and above its
predecessor. We have dropped all serial port patches other than HS Modem
(due to lack of space) as few work on the Falcon and HS Modem performs all
their functions, only better. Some programs are English, others are German.
In the latter cases, we've done RUF translations of the docs.
BUTTONFIX 1.4 - Fixes the double-scroll bug present in some TOS versions.
CACHExxx - Caches data on your hard drive to increase performance on TOS 1.4
upwards. The xxx signifies the size of the cache buffers.
DC BITSET 1.0 - Allows TOS 1.0 and 1.2 to set the 'archive bit' correctly in
file headers. This bug was fixed in TOS 1.4.
DC LIGHT OFF 1.0 - Deselects Drive A if you boot from hard disk with no
floppy in Drive A. Prevents floppy drive motor and LED staying on for
infinity.
DRIVE OFF - Performs the same task as DC Light Off.
FLOPFIX - Fixes various bugs in the BIOS which result in read errors, write
protect errors and disk change errors on TOS 2.06 upwards.
FORCE MEDIA CHANGE - Many replacement floppy drives do not detect a disk
change properly. This can result in the FATs and root directory of the last
inserted disk overwriting the new disk's contents. The program forces TOS to
re-read the FATs and root directory every time a disk is accessed.
FOLDRxxx - Fixes the 40 folder bug. This bug exists in all TOS versions but
manifests itself differently on the newer TOSes. The xxx signifies the
number of extra folders.
HD_FDC - Sets the floppy disk seek rate to 3ms (rather than 6 ms) on TOS
2.06 upwards.
NBCBS - An adaptation of CACHExxx which allows you to set the FAT/root
directory and directory/data buffers separate from each other.
PATCHX06 - Fixes various BIOS disk routines (media change, disks with one
FAT, read errors if 2 drives fitted) in TOS 2.06 and 3.06.
RESET - Forces a warm reset if no floppy is found in Drive A. This fixes a
problem on some computers where the floppy drive is not recognised at boot
up.
DESK_ENV V3.00 - Lets you set up AES environmental variables on TOS 1.0, 1.2
and 1.4.
ENV 1.3 - A CPX which lists all currently installed environmental variables
and lets you add new ones to the list.
ENVIRMNT 2 - Ensures that any environmental variables cannot be changed by
other applications after boot up.
DRUCKESZ - A patch for German users which filters out characters after 'ss'
when printing.
NVDI FIXES - Two program which fix bugs which can cause crashes with NVDI
v2.5.
24 BIT - Allows many programs which are not '32 bit clean' to run on the TT
and Falcon.
CHK_OFLS 1.03 - Ensures that errors do not occur when copying data to mass
storage devices when using high speed copying programs such as Kobold, by
checking that the file system being copied to, has actually been opened.
COOKIE - Installs a Cookie Jar on pre-TOS 1.6 systems.
FIX GDOS - Some programs won't run if GDOS, AMCGDOS or NVDI are installed
(they report 'invalid handle'). This program fixes the problem.
INSJAR - Creates a Cookie Jar of a specified size on pre-TOS 1.6 systems,
enlarges the existing Cookie Jar to the specified size on TOS versions 1.6
upwards.
MAKEFAST - Allows you to switch the Fastload bit (reduces loading time on
large memory machines) ON or OFF for programs running on TOS 1.4 or later.
MULTI-DIALOG V1.03 - Puts almost all dialogs into GEM windows. This allows
you to choose to ignore a dialog and access the menu bar or move a dialog
which is obscuring your work. Most useful on multi-tasking systems.
NO ROACH - Lets you specify how long your computer should wait before
booting from hard drive. Specifically designed for the Mega ST/E and TT as
they have internal hard drives.
NVRAM 1.1 - An Auto folder program which resets the TT or Falcon's non-
volatile RAM to the factory presets and a CPX which lets you customise the
settings to your own preference.
PINHEAD 1.8 - Speeds up the loading of programs on TOS versions 1.0 to 1.6.
More or less performs the same functions as setting the Fastload bit on TOS
1.4 but is said to be more compatible with certain rogue applications.
POOLFIX92 - A bug fixed version of various patch programs by Atari which are
designed to fix memory compaction routines in the OS pool under TOS 1.4 and
1.6.
OVFIX - Gets rid of the bug where the ESC character is sent continuously,
causing the current directory to keep re-reading and a continuous tone to
emanate from the keyboard.
SHELL_FIX 1.3 - Allows programs which use TOS's shell functions to run from
alternative Desktops (they normally only run from the GEM Desktop).
STE_FIX - Patches the DESKTOP.INF of TOS 1.6 to overcome that version's
inability to boot up in medium resolution.
TOS14FX5 - A bug fixed version of Atari's patch which fixed the inability to
use RTS/CTS handshaking and an odd problem whereby a program cannot locate
its own RSC. These bugs only exist in TOS 1.4.
TT GAMES - Several patches which make the TT more compatible with the ST so
that many older programs may be run. They switch off the cache, switch to 24
bit addressing and allow some programs which execute from the bootsector to
run.
VDI_FIX 1.11 - Fixes the bug which results in the same VDI handles being
given to two or more VDI workstations. Affects all TOS versions up to 3.05
(except for v1.2).
GEMRAM 1.6/1.7 - Copies GEM to RAM so that it can be patched by other
programs (eg SHBUF, ARROWFIX, WINX).
SHBUF 1.3 - Patches GEM to increase the shell buffers of NEWDESK.INF. This
lets you have more icons on the Desktop, more installed applications and
prevents icons going 'missing' if your NEWDESK.INF exceeds 4K in size. Only
needed in TOS 2.05 upwards.
ARROWFIX 1.5 - Fixes the double scroll problem with the slider bars on GEM
windows on certain TOS versions.
WINX 2.2 - Patches the window handling of GEM to allow more windows to be
open. It also adds a number of features to window handling, especially with
regard to manipulating background windows without actually selecting them.
HS MODEM 6 - Although a little fiddly to set up, this patch appears to fix
all serial port related bugs on all TOS versions. It even supports DTE rates
of up to 115200, hardware permitting. Absolutely essential if using a high
speed modem, desirable even if using a slower model.
FALCON FIXES - These last fixes are Falcon specific and will not work on any
other machine.
BACKWARD 2.41 - A sort of STE emulator. It lets you run many ST programs
(including some commercial games) on your Falcon, which would ordinarily
have been incompatible.
BMAPFIX 2 - Some comms programs insist on using Bconmap 6 as the serial
port, rather than Bconmap 7 as used on the Falcon. This program fixes the
problem.
BOOTCONF - Allows you to customise your non-volatile RAM settings.
FALCONSX 1.0 - Lets you switch ON/OFF your cache or IDE drive, switch the
CPU/Blitter to 8/16 Mhz, select Falcon or STE compat bus, set sweep
frequency for the Videl, connect ADC to DAC, reset the sound sub-system and
much more, all from a single ACC.
FALCVOLU - An Auto folder program which lowers the volume of your Falcon.
FALCON BOOT - Installs an executable bootsector onto a floppy which allows
you to switch the cache or speaker ON/OFF, bypass the internal hard drive or
Autoboot a boot disk.
FPATCH2 - Initialises the DMA sound hardware, fixes a bug in the bconmap
structure and lets you access the LAN port via the BIOS.
STESOUND - Patches TOS 4.01 & 4.02 to initialise its STE compatible DMA
sound, otherwise you get silence from programs which use DMA sound!
FULL RES 1.01 - Allows you to get 256/512 pixel deep resolutions (320x256
and 640x512) on RGB monitors rather than the usual 200/400 (320x200 and
640x400).
REZ FOOLER 1.2 - makes your Falcon think it has a different monitor
attached. Useful for switching between RGB and VGA modes if you have a
multi-sync monitor.
SND_THRU - Connects the microphone and headphone ports together so that
sound fed in via a microphone can be output via the headphone socket in real
time.
TOS4 TRAP 1.0 - Monitors certain GEMDOS calls to make them compatible with
the version of GEMDOS used in TOS 4.0 upwards.

GENEVA 003 PATCH - Updates release 002 (v1.01) of Gribnif's Geneva multi-
tasking OS to release 003 (v1.02). It requires that you have an original of
Geneva v1.01, otherwise it is of no use to you. Another patch on F.5509 then

MULTIPLICITY V1.02 by Martyn Tidd - A Shareware multimedia authoring package
for the Falcon. Multiplicity works by treating your presentation as a book.
The book can have as many pages as you wish and each page may contain sound,
text, graphics, animations or a combination of any of these. Full screen
graphics and animations can be used to give a more professional feel to your
presentations and navigational aids can be added to allow the user to find
his way through the various pages in your book. The package comprises two
programs, a creator program and a player. It has been designed with an open
architecture so that external programs can be linked to display or view file
formats not ordinarily supported by the application itself. Ideal for
creating product tutorials, advertising trailers, educational teaching aids
and even multi-media games. Multiplicity is very well documented and
includes a totorial and a demo presentation. Please note that you will have
to create your text, sound samples, graphics and animations in other
packages, Multiplicity is 'merely' an aid to putting it all together. Multi-
tasking OS recommended although it will run under single TOS. Needs 4 Mb and
a hard drive.

JACKICON by Jacques Delavoix - A collection of 15 animated colour icons for
use with TOS v4.xx. Supplied in RSC format, these can be incorporated into
your DESKICON.RSC using TOS4 Icon Editor on F.5294.
RTFTOHTML by Barry Munro - Allows you to convert Rich Text Format (RTF)
format text files into their HTML equivalents. HTML is a hypertext based
language similar in concept to ST-Guide and is the language used for all
documents on the World Wide Web. If your word processor supports RTF format
(Marcel and Papyrus do), this package performs a painless conversion for
you, thus eliminating the need to learn HTML. Full user guide on disk in
both RTF and HTML formats.
MIKENET by Mike De Petris - Allows any two Atari computers to be connected
in a network using standard MIDI cables. Any drives can be mapped to the
letter of your choice and both CPUs can access files on each other's hard
drives. The drive redirection can be used even if no other computer is
connected and is useful for those programs which insist on working with a
specified drive (usually A:\) and have this embedded in their program code.
Either computer can be assigned read only/read write or inactive status on
the network and any drive may be redirected to either local or remote
partitions. Eveything works invisibly to all software. Multi-tasking
friendly.
MTOSNAME - A GFA Basic listing which lets you add your program's name as you
want it to be displayed in the list of active applications running under
Multi-TOS.
OFAKE - Creates a 'fake' drive O under Multi-TOS. Drive U (unified file
system) is then mapped onto O:\. This is useful if your file selector (or
application) will not allow you to access drive letters beyond P.
RAMFS V1.4 by Thierry Bousch - A re-sizeable ramdisk for use with Multi-TOS.
It installs as U:\ram and simply grows or shrinks as required to accomodate
its contents, returning unused memory to the OS pool. Another advantage of
using RAMFS is that it allows filenames to be up to 35 characters long
(useful if Minix is installed).
POWERPACKER 2.0 DATADEPACKER by BITmASTER of TCE - Depacks data files (not
executables) packed using the Amiga file compressor of the same name. Useful
for unpacking pictures or text ported from the Amiga.
SPIEU'S ANALYSER OF MEDIA (SAM) V1.10 - Checks hard drives or floppies for
bad sectors and maps them out so as to prevent future problems. Its main
claim to fame is that sectors marked as being bad will not mysteriously
recover, they remain mapped out permanently. Use it to simply analyse your
media or to permanently map out the bad sectors.
TIMEZONE V1.0 by Phillipe Abel - A CPX which allows you to set your current
time zone relative to GMT. It also allows you to set 'daylight savings' (the
difference between summer time and regular time). These values are handled
by a Cookie in the Cookie Jar and can be used to calculate the time in GMT
as opposed to system time for applications which require it. It's also a
useful aid for calculating time difference if calling abroad!
TIME_201.FIX by Nial Grimes - A text file detailing the installation
procedure needed to get Timeworks v2.01 up and running with SpeedoGDOS. Also
includes a print accelerator and the correct width files for 9-pin, 24-pin
and Laser/Deskjet printers.
Z88LINK V1.3 by Ian Johnston - Allows you to transfer ASCII files between
the Cambridge Computers Z88 and an Atari. You will require PC Link (a
hardware/software package designed to connect the Z88 to a PC) but this
replaces the software designed to run at the PC end with an Atari
equivalent. Registered users get an improved version which also handles
binary transfers.
TODAYS V2.01 by Chuck Grimsby - An unusual program which is used to display
reminders of events or occurences which took place at any point in history.
It can also be used as a planner to schedule forthcoming events and remind
you of these ahead of time. Although based on programs of the same name on
other computers, the Atari version of Todays offers much more features than
those, although it will happily accept and use their data files.

SCHNIPP & SCHNAPP V1.08 by Fred Nicklisch - Lets you chop up any file into
several pieces and then recombine it at a later date. Its purpose is to
allow you to transfer files (between machines) which are too large to fit
onto a floppy disk. Both Atari and PC versions of the program are supplied.
ST WEFAX V2.0 by David Anderson - Software which lets you use a Kantronics
WEFAX with an Atari. This is a radio based (similar to HAM radio) hardware
device which allows you to tune in to fax stations around the world and
receive meteorological maps and weather satellite photos which can then be
viewed on screen or printed out. Very comprehensive Shareware package.
Includes a listing of UK fax stations which you can tune in to.
IMG MIXER v1.10 by Matthias Wallmann - A companion program for the Gemini
and Ease replacement Desktops. It allows you to use a randomly selected IMG
as a Desktop backdrop for these systems. With IMG Mixer in the Auto folder
and the correct paths set, an image appropriate to the current resolution is
selected randomly and displayed behind your Desktop icons. Lots of images
are supplied on disk but regrettably they are all for use on monochrome
systems. Any colour IMGs can be used in their place. Please note that you
MUST have either Ease or Gemini installed in your system, otherwise IMG
Mixer will do nothing. Docs in German but we've done a RUF translation.
KILL DRIVE B by Erling Henanger - Allows you to add or remove logical
drives. Useful if you want to prevent TOS seeing a Minix partition or want
to use an external hard drive which you forgot to switch on at boot up.
MAGIC IDE PATCH V2.1 by Daniel Hedberg - Allows you to bypass the check for
the presence of an IDE drive when using MagiC v4.02. Invaluable if you use
an external SCSI device and have no internal IDE drive. Performs the same
function as FastBoot on F.5017 exceopt that this patch is for MagiC rather
than TOS.
IMPLODER by Hackbear - A port of the Amiga file packer of the same name. It
can pack both executables and data files and dragging a packed file
(Imploder packed of course!) to it results in an unpacked version of that
file being resaved.
INFINITE RETRY by Chris Strevens - Prevents the computer from timimg out if
the printer is busy. Particularly useful when printing large files to laser
printers as it supresses the 'Printer is not responding' error (usually when
printing large files).
SCREEN MOVER II by Xavier Joubert - Lets you centre the screen on the
monitor or TV. Once centred, you can save your configuration and need never
set it up again. Particularly useful for overscan modes which are seldom
centred correctly. RGB ONLY.
TECHNOBUG by Joaquín Ferrero - A GFA listing (GFA Basic required) to patch
the ESC bug in Technobox CAD/2.
WP2 by Robert Best - Converts 1st Word, Wordplus 2 & 3 files to WordPerfect
5 format. It also converts WordPerfect 5 & 6 files to Wordplus 2 format.
DEVICES - Displays the capacity (in Mb) of each hard drive partition as well
as the transfer rate for the individual partitions along with some other
information such as number of files, number of folders etc.

IMPLOID V2.04 - An archiver shell for use with the Gemini replacement
Desktop or any other (such as Thing) which uses the AV protocol. It supports
the use of ZIP, ZOO, ARC, ARJ, LHZ and UUencode/UUdecode archivers, although
these are not included on disk. Imploid runs as an ACC and you simply open
its window and drop the appropriate archive into it. Double-click inside the
window for full range of options. Unfortunately the program's in German (but
simple to work out) and there's no docs. Invaluable if you are using Gemini
or Thing.
FIRECALL V0.70 by Christian Andersson - Another program with the same
function as Paul Lyon's CallerID (above). This one is better presented but
currently unfinished. Both are very similar in functionality. System
requirements same as above.
MEGASTICK by Fabrice Vendé - 1st Guide files showing how make an adaptor
which will allow four ordinary joysticks to be used in the extended joystick
ports on the STE and Falcon. There's also GFA, C and Assembler code designed
to allow you to use the four joysticks (via this adaptor) in your own four
player games. Docs in both English and French, includes well drawn diagrams.
FLOPSPEED by Ludovic Hirlimann - Halves floppy disk access times by
switching off the verify flag. Requires a Cookie Jar to be installed, so TOS
1.6 upwards (or use with programs on UTL.5340).
NEODESK 003 PATCH - This patches release 002 of NeoDesk 4 (i.e. v4.01) to
version 003 (v4.02). It requires that you have an original of NeoDesk 4
release 002, otherwise it is of no use to you.
DJMAGIC by Rueben Thomas - Allows you to switch on an HP Deskjet after your
computer without having to reset the computer in order to recognise the
printer. Now MagiC compatible.
EPSON_BJ by I Porter - Converts Epson compatible 24-pin softfonts into IBM
ProPrinter compatible fonts for use on the Canon BJ series of bubblejet
printers.
EPSTPROX - A SpeedoGDOS printer driver for the Epson Stylus Pro XL printer.
Comes complete with installation program which writes the necessary info
into your ASSIGN.SYS ready for use.
GENETICS by Matthew Carey - An attempt to recreate the program described by
Richard Dawkins in his book The Blind Watcher. It shows how small cumulative
changes to a limited number of genes can result in quite diverse forms.
Several examples files are supplied. Simply select any point in a diagram
and see how changes to it affect the other generations of that same diagram.
MPEG 2 AUDIO PLAYER V0.7 by Frederik Noring - Replays almost any MPEG 2
layer 2 44.1 khz stereo audio frame in real time using the DSP. What this
means in simple terms is that it plays the audio portion of MPEG movies with
no noticeable slowdown or loss of quality. It even detects an external clock
signal if one is available and uses that to give higher quality output. Now
GEM based running as an ACC or PRG and multi-tasking friendly.

AUTO_C V6.00 - Loads all Auto folder programs from Drive A and ACCs from
drive C.
APPLINE V2.5 by Holger Weets - Displays an application bar at the bottom of
the screen (just like the one used in Windows 95 on the PC) with buttons for
each active application and a display of free system memory. You can switch,
hide, show, freeze applications or even pass parameters to them via the AV
protocol. Only runs under MagiC or MagiC Mac. Includes extensive
documentation in ST Guide (UTL.5557 format). Unfortunately this version is
in German.
BINDIFF/BINPATCH V1.4 by Robert Federle - Two programs which allow easy
updating of programs from one version to another. BINDIFF allows you to
create a patch file containing only the differences between file A and file
B. BINPATCH then lets you apply the patch to file A in order to change it
into file B. Some applications (particularly Unix derived ones) insist in
using the Binary Diff method for upgrading from one version to the next.
Unfortunately the programs and docs are in German, although we've done a RUF
translation of the docs.
COOL WAVE ARCHIVE CONVERTER (CWAC) V3.02 by Lee Offenberger - Automates the
conversion of archives between ARC, LZH, ZIP and ZOO formats. Simply select
the source and destination formats and CWAC will do its work. Please note
that you will require copies of the appropriate archivers as CWAC is merely
an easy to use shell which calls the appropriate packers as required. If
files selected are not already archived, they will simply be archived using
the selected archiver.
ALT HELP by Gen & Wax - Simply run from the Desktop and fill a few details
into the dialog box. Quit and the program sits invisibly in the background.
Now press ALT+HELP to save the currently displayed screen to disk. Works in
all modes, saves screen (or your selected portion of the screen as raw data
for use by programmers. Palette can be included with the image or saved
separately. Assembler sources included.
BAD SHELL V2.0 by Vanel Rémi - An easy to use GEM based shell for Bad Mood
(Doug Little's DOOM engine) on F.5528. Everything is selectable by simple
mouse clicks, thus eliminating the need to type parameters into the TTP.
Fully Multi-TOS compatible.
BOOTNAME v2.12 by P Lafont - Yet another boot selector program. As well as
allowing you to select which Auto programs or ACCs you wish to boot up with,
this one lets you assign different setups to sets so that you just need to
select the appropriate set for your session rather than switch individual
items on or off each time you boot. It also lets you switch STE compatible
mode ON/OFF and switch the CPU or Blitter to 8/16 Mhz.
BSTAT V2.48 - A sophisticated graphing and statistical analysis program.
This program is aimed at the scientist and mathematician or students
studying these subjects. The program is extremely complicated but has
immense power. You can load DIF, ASCII, PRN, WKS or SYLK formats and save
data as DIF, ASCII or PRN. You can generate Durbin-Watson, Friedman,
Kolmogorov, Spearman or Wilcoxon tables and on-line help is available. BStat
has over 80k of documentation on disk. Now SpeedoGDOS compatible.

CALLERID by Paul Lyon - Keeps track of incoming calls by displaying the
number (as the phone rings) and the name of the caller (if the caller is
known and in your database. Your call log can be saved to disk or printed
out. You can even automatically block calls from certain numbers! In order
to use this program you will require a modem with Caller ID support and a
telephone service provider who supports Caller ID (BT does, at a cost). This
software essentially replaces the standalone Caller ID hardware units. This
Shareware version has limitations, register for the full version.
CIVILISATION PATCH V1.5 by Jürgen Keitel - Lets you patch saved game files
from Civilisation so as to change the amount of gold you have, aim of
research, type of government, diplomacy, current year and indeed all units
(attack, defence, cost of building etc) in the game. Program in German but
docs in both English and German so you'll know what you're doing!
EGALE V3.9 by Christof Schardt - A Shareware file comparison utility which
compares any two text or program files and displays them side by side in a
split screen GEM window. Up to sixteen pairs of files can be opened
simultaneously and you can select to have either similarities OR differences
highlighted. You can even perform multiple string searches on the files.
This latest version also lets you edit binary files, perform a word count on
text files, create diff files, create recursive directory listings and patch
programs. Simply the best file comparison utility on Atari computers, and a
lot more besides. Multi-TOS & MagiC compatible.
BAND NAME by Dan Wilga - How do pop groups think up their names? Perhaps
with this easy to use program! It generates random names (how does Lose Me
Blue, Flame Of Death or Meek Sword sound?) suitable for pop groups without
any user intervention. Some of them are pretty good too!
CART_DRV by Dan Wilga - Allows shell programs to run programs contained on a
cartridge. It simply renames the 'c' drive to 'P' or whatever else you want
to call it and your 'new' drive behaves identically to the cartridge (i.e.
you can obtain a directory and run programs but you cannot copy or delete
the programs).
CHOPPER GLASSES DRIVER V1.0 by Glen Sescila - A DIY project which allows you
to use 3D Sega Chopper glasses on your ST. It involves the building of a PCB
(diagram on disk) and the use of the supplied driver software. The hardware
is identical to the PC version of this project and interfaces via the serial
port. The will work with all software written for the now defunct StereoTek
glasses and have been tested with MOLECULE and CAD 3D2 from the CyberStudio
series.
DIY DSP - A hardware electronics project which explains how to cheaply and
easily upgrade your DSP from 32Mhz to 50Mhz. Includes both text and
diagrams. A knowledge of electronics is required.
Q-BACKUP V1.0 by Christian Ernst - Backs up only the files you select from
hard drive to floppy. Nice and easy to use but unfortunately without docs.
ROTATOR V0.60 by Simon Coward - This is a utility for use with SpeedoGDOS or
NVDI 3 or later. It allows you to apply the most incredible effects to
vector fonts. Your text can be angled, rotated or arched and you can apply
circular text effects, 3D effects (up to 200 layers are possible!) and
shadows. You can even have 'exploding' text. The manipulated text is then
saved out in IMG format ready for incorporating into your favourite DTP
package. This Shareware version does not allow you to enter your own text,
register for £5 to remove the restriction.

PHODATA V1.1 by Simon Coward - A specialised database aimed at
photographers. It lets you enter the sheet number, photograph number and
date. Space is given for a two line description, followed by notes on the
location and equipment used. Records may be called up by their number or
searched (across fields) and printed out if desired. There's also a memo
facility which lets you enter notes which will not be printed out.
DBICONS 2, 3, 4, 7 - A collection of 165 icons for use on the Falcon's
Desktop. Must be used in conjunction with Dr Bob's ICDRAW on F.4782.
IC_IB3 - Another 11 icons for use with ICDRAW.
FALCICON - Two more of the same.
FBTEAMS - 56 icons using the emblems from American Football teams. All in Dr
Bob's ICDRAW format and ready to incorporate into your own DESKICON.RSC.
ICONS.RSC - 14 'alternative' icons for use on your Falcon's Desktop.
Supplied in RSC format.
EPRO 2.4A - Updates ExtenDOS Pro v2.3, 2.3A or 2.4 to v2.4A. This is only a
patch program and is no use to you unless you have an original of the
appropriate version of ExtenDOS Pro. If your version is earlier than 2.3, we
have other updaters (from v2.1 upwards) on F.5546.
LEAGUE BOWLING SECRETARY V3 by Robert Johnson - As the name suggests, this
program assists your bowling club's secretary by keeping track of the
schedule of forthcoming games and scores from past games. It handles a
season of up to 60 weeks and a league with up to 40 teams (each with between
1 and 5 players). It handles such peculiarities as blind games, forfeited
games, postponed games, player swaps, different handicaps for men and women
and much more.
STD CODES V2.0 by Mark Baines - A CPX (for use with XControl) which knows
about all the new UK area dialing codes introduced in April 1995. You can
type in the code to have the area displayed or vice versa. It also contains
details of other non-geographic codes such as freephone, local call charge,
mobile numbers and such like. There's even a facility which lets you alter
the data yourself if the dialing codes ever change again!
START ME UP V7.00E by Thomas Much - Described as yet another reason why NOT
to buy a PC! SMU effectively brings the functionality of the Windows 95
start button to your Atari! It opens a small window on screen which leads to
a number of pop-up hierachical menus. These can lead to all your popular
programs on your hard drive or can effectively replace the need for icons on
the Desktop. No longer do you have to wade through nested folders to find a
particular program. You even overcome the 'maximum number of icons on
Desktop' limitation. If that's not enough, assuming your Desktop is AV
compatible (Thing, Gemini, No!Desk etc), you can also open directories,
copy/move/rename files and much more from within SMU. There's just one snag,
SMU is intended for use with MagiC v4 (although it will work with Multi-TOS
and N.AES too).

SHARP ARCHIVES V1.1.1 by R Tracht - Allows you to transfer data between the
Atari and most Sharp pocket computers (PC-1245, 1251, 1350, 1401, 1402,
1403, 1450). It supports the tranfer of both programs and data, making it an
ideal development tool. The suggested use is for developing Sharp Basic
programs on the Atari and porting them back. Another use is of course for
porting ASCII text in both directions. A special cable is required in order
to transfer via the parallel port. Full instruction on the construction of
the cable are included but you'll need to be handy with a soldering iron.
GEM based and easy to use, but program and docs are in German, although
we've done a RUF translation.
TAKEOFF V2.07 by Thomas Small and Oliver Scheel - Another Mac OS inspired
utility. It runs as an ACC and has slots for up to 32 programs, each of
which can be buried in folders up to 16 deep. Each program has a 16
character alias which appears in the drop down menu. If Gemini is installed,
you can 'walk through' the relevant directories to reach the file and indeed
move to any file in any related directory. Needs to be used with a VA
protocol aware Desktop (such as Gemini, Thing or NeoDesk) so that the
applications can be launched. Also works under Multi-TOS and MagiC. Docs in
German but we've done a RUF translation.
2ND LIFE V0.6 by Sander Berents - A fully functional emulator for the Tandy
TRS-80 Model III (a Z80 based 8-bit computer) which came out around 1981. It
claims to run nearly all Model III software and includes three 'virtual
disks' with software for you to run. Also includes programs which allow you
to transfer disk images across from a real TRS-80 via the parallel port and
to convert disk images created for TRS-80 emulators on the Mac and PC so
that they too will work on the Atari version. Also features bi-directional
transfer to allow ASCII files to be freely transferred between the two
machines. Docs are in RTF format, so you'll need a copy of Marcel (WRD.4501)
unless you already have software which supports RTF (eg; Papyrus).
THE ULTIMATE VIRUS DETECTOR V2.42 by Daniel Hägg - An ACC based virus
killer. It checks memory as well as disks and sits in the background
monitoring each new disk inserted into the Drive. As well as recognising a
large number of bootsector viruses, it also alerts you to unknown executable
bootsectors so that you can check them out.
VDI FONT V2.10 by Harald Sommerfeldt - Auto program and CPX which allow you
to select any monospaced (i.e. not proportional) GDOS or SpeedoGSfont DOS
as a replacement for the built-in System font. Once installed, GEM will
always use your chosen font rather than the system one.

ALT MORE V1.0 - How often do you try to read an ASCII file using the
Desktop's 'Show' function only to find that the text appears to be one
continuous line and runs off the edge of the screen? This is because the
text is in Unix format. ALT MORE sits in your Auto folder and 'watches' for
such files. When it encounters one it displays it correctly on screen.
APPMAN V0.86 by Jerry Geiger - An Application Manager. After setting up,
when you select any file, a pop-up menu appears asking you whether you want
to show it, edit it, execute it, print it or pack/unpack it. Different
options appear for different files as Appman can be set up to distinguish
between executables and data files. You simply link other applications to
set extensions (or even complete filenames) and Appman does the work.
Requires a replacement Desktop which supports the VA protocol or AES 4.0
(Multi-TOS, Geneva, MagiC etc).
ASS V0.1 - Designed to combat the Baby Turtle Virus which scrambles up text
strings within files. It does this by trying to distinguish which characters
were not entered via the keyboard and then tries to reconstruct the original
string.
BPR - Sends a binary file directly to the parallel port. Really intended for
outputting HPGL files to Deskjets but could be put to other uses.
CASIOMODO V1.3 by Uwe Krumm - Allows you to transfer files between an Atari
and a Casio FV 850P/880P (handheld computer) easily using the serial port.
Using this program, it is possible to edit Casio documents on your Atari and
print them out (to 9-pin or 24-pin printers only). The package even allows
the Casio's special characters to be printed. This Shareware version
restricts the baud rate for transfer. There are two levels of registration,
one gets you the manual and the hardware dongle to increase the baud rate,
the other omits the dongle and gives instructions on how to build your own.
Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF
translation of the docs. ST high res only, Needs 1 Mb.
COFFEE - A coffee maker on your own Desktop! Yes, you select how you like
your coffee and this nicely presented GEM program will make a lovely cup of
'virtual coffee' to your preference. No spills guaranteed!
PROBE HOUSE WORLD CLOCK V2.0 by William Wong - A PRG or ACC (you choose)
which displays a clock in a GEM window. What makes this clock unique is that
it displays both local time and that of another city elsewhere in the world.
Around 50 different cities have their data included so all time zones are
covered. After saving your configuration, the dual time clock will always
operate for the two cities selected, although this can be changed at any
time. Also has an alarm clock with 8 different sounds and an optional user
defined message.
AV CABLE - A massive GIF file containing diagrams showing how to make up S-
Video and composite video cables for connecting to a Jaguar.
CQD V2.1 by TNT - File identifier. Choose any file and it will be identified
as an executable file, ASCII text etc. A list of legal extensions for that
file type will also be given. Other info such as the file size, creation
date and file header are also given as is the ability to launch the file or
unpack it. Useful if a file's extension is wrong and you want to identify
it. now in English.
PASSTHRU V2.71 by Florian Erhard - A useful program which extends the
ability of the Install Application option on the GEM Desktop. Passthru lets
you double-click any (listed) filetype and its creator program is invoked.
The necessary parameters are then passed to the creator program prior to
launching it. The parameter passed depends on which key(s) you are holding
down when you double-click the data file. This application is functionally
very similar to Applier (on UTL.5291) but fixes some problems which cause
lengthy error reports. It also extends functionality beyond that of its
predecessor. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we've
done a RUF translation.
GREGOR V1.02 by Alain Popek - A CPX based calendar for use with XControl. As
the name suggests, it is a Gregorian calendar which essentially means that
it can look up dates from 15/10/1582 onwards. Program and docs in French,
although it's not really a problem with a calendar. Runs in any 16 colour
mode.
HD-CPX V1.1 by B Figureau - A CPX for formatting high density disks. It
allows up to 83 sectors/20 tracks. If you regularly use a specific format,
you can save it as default from the CPX. All in French but obvious.
JETFIND V1.31 by Dirk Steins - A very fast file locator which runs as a PRG
or ACC. Type the first few letters of a filename followed by wildcards
(accepts extended wildcards too) or use the whole name. Specify whether you
wish to search the current drive or all drives. Much faster than the
Desktop's built-in Search facility and more useful too as it lists all finds
in a scrollable window. The list can be copied to the GEM Cliboard or all
files found can be deleted (useful for getting rid of all those BAK files).
Program in English but docs in German although we've done a RUF translation.
LOADTIME by Ludovic Rousseau - Displays the time and date each time you
start up your computer. If the details are incorrect (eg; when the clocks
change), you can manually adjust Loadtime.
MAKE UP V1.03 by Frank Behrens - Alllows you to convert ASCII text into
hypertext for use with 1st Guide (F.4865). If 1st Guide is running as an ACC
you can monitor the changes you make and test out your links as you create
them. Both program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation
of the docs.
NAME COOKIE INSTALLER by Carsten Tolkmit - Asks for your name, birthdate etc
then creates your own personal cookie. It is then possible for other
programs which are Name Cookie aware, to extract this information as
required. The docs include programming info on how to do this from your own
programs.
N_MENMIN v1 by Noud van Kruysbergen - Changes the broken lines (i.e. '-')
which separate menu items (on the Desktop and in GEM windows) into solid
ones to give a much neater appearance to the Desktop.
SOFT PC PATCH by Patrice Bensoussan - Two programs to enhance the usability
of SoftPC (MS-DOS emulator for the TT and Falcon). The first allows you to
put the emulator files anywhere you wish on your hard drive (they had to be
in a specific path previously). The other program is an alternative loader
for the system which remembers your Desktop colours and restores them
correctly on exit.

T-CON V1.1 by Holger Weets - Sends the output of a TOS or TTP application to
a GEM window under Multi-TOS. Performs a similar function to TOSWIN. Docs in
German but you don't really need them.
CD BASE by Dolphin Software - Yet another customised database for keeping
track of your audio CD collection. This is undoubtedly one of the more
polished ones both in terms of appearance and in ease of use. There's no
drop down menus, just a few boxes to click onto to enter new data or search
an existing file. Includes fast powerful wildcard searches and outputs to
Epson, Canon and HP printers. Data stored includes CD title, artist, song
title, track number, track length, year of recording, your personal rating
etc. This Shareware version limits you to 10 CD's, 150 tracks and 35
artists. The registered version supports up to 210 CDs per floppy disk or
910 if using a hard drive. The artists and tracks supported run into
thousands!
COPS V1.07E by Thomas Much and the Behne Bros - A complete replacement for
Xcontrol under MagiC v4 (or later) and MagiCMac v1.2.5 (or later). It reads
the locations of the CPX modules from CONTROL.INF and places their icons
within a moveable GEM window. It supports unlimited CPXs (subject to memory)
and long filenames (if your system supports this). Now in English.
CANDYMAN CHEAT by The Resevoir Gods - Gives you complete protection from the
'tooth fairy' in the game of the same name.
STEWART V1.05E by John McLoud - A Copland (new name for the latest OS
upgrade on the Mac) emulator for MagiC? Not quite but Stewart (can you spot
the obvious connection?) gives much of the look and feel of Copland to MagiC
v3 or later. Here's a quick rundown of some of its features:- rounded screen
corners, click anywhere on the Desktop to top the Desktop and its windows,
white background in drop down menus replaced by grey, dotted divider lines
in drop down menus replaced by solid ones, GEM grow & shrink boxes replaced
by spin boxes, clock (digital or analog) in menubar, 3D menu text, switch
off or replace the MagiC logo. This Shareware release disables itself after
half an hour of use but is otherwise fully functional. Stewart requires a
minimum resolution of 640x480 in 16 colours, so it's TT or Falcon only
UNLESS you have a graphics card on your ST. Also, it only runs under MagiC 3
(or MagicMac) or later.
NOTHING V1.0 by John McLoud - A redraw manager for use with ALICE (on
UTL.5115). It intercepts iconify messages from ALICE and forces the screen
to update as appropriate. In order to work correctly, it also requires STIC,
the STEWART iconify manager (also on disk) and only runs under MagiC 3 or
later. Docs currently in German.
STIC V1.00 by John McLoud - An attempt at a universal iconify manager
(although it currently works only with STEWART and NOTHING). Like ALICE, it
allows windows or indeed entire applications to be iconified even when the
application itself does not ordinarily support iconification. STIC scores in
that it allows the iconified windows to be larger than usual and supports
the use of long filenames in iconified windows. STIC only runs under MagiC 3
or later. Now in English.
THE ENHANCER V1.0 by The Behne Brothers - Extends the built-in VDI functions
of TOS to support off-screen bitmaps and allow the use of the vq_scrninfo(),
v_opnbm() and v_clsbm() functions. It also patches the Falcon's True Colour
mode to make v_get_pixel() compatible with it. This patch is essential for
the smooth running of many new programs if you do not have NVDI 2.5 or later
installed. If you do, you don't need Enhancer as it's built into NVDI. Docs
in German but we've done a RUF translation.
THE ULTIMATE CONVERTER (TUC) V1.02 by Kevin Millican - Allows you to convert
word processor files from any format to any format. At least that's the
theory! It works by converting the often non-printable ASCII character used
to represent eg bold or italic on one word processor to those used on
another word processor. Example script files allow you to convert executable
programs to and from ASCII (useful for performing translations) and from
First Word to RTF, Protext v4.3 to Wordstar, Protext v4.3 to RTF, ASCII to
RTF, Write On to RTF, Word Perfect v5.0 to RTF, Word Perfect v5.1 to RTF and
Wordstar to RTF. Obviously you could alter the scripts to allow any of these
to convert to any other or even introduce new conversions if you know the
codes used by the appropriate word processor(s). The docs are easily
followed and explain the command language used in the scripts.
TUCSHELL by Geoff Wilson - A nice easy to use GEM based front end for use
with THE ULTIMATE CONVERTER (the original TUC was TTP based). It allows you
to specify the full pathnames of the input/output/TUC files with a few
simple clicks of the mouse.
PARALLEL COPY V3.21 by Petr Stehlik - Allows you to connect an Atari to a PC
via the parallel port. This is an early release but supports the sending and
receiving of files between any TOS based computer (from ST to Hades!) and
any PC (from an XT to a Pentium) at around five times the speed supported by
Ghostlink (UTL.4410). It doesn't give you virtual drives in the clever way
that Ghostlink does, but it's VERY fast at throwing large files across from
one machine to the other. It is also possible to connect Atari to Atari and
PC to PC. Software and cable diagrams (yes, you'll need to make up the cable
yourself!) for both machines/transfer options is included.
SPEAKOFF 2 by Thomas Binder - An Auto folder program which switches off the
Falcon's internal speaker before other programs load up. There's also a
bootsector installer which creates an executable bootsector performing the
same function, which can be written to any floppy disk.
XUFSL V1.05 by Stefan Rogel - A universal font selector for use with GDOS,
SpeedoGDOS and NVDI (v3 or higher). It allows fonts to be easily selected
from a pop-up GEM window in applications which support the extended
universal font selector protocols. Very well presented product with lots of
user-definable settings. All in German but we've done a RUF translation of
the docs.
ICON EDITOR V1.0 by Carbonsoft - Allows you to edit the colour icons used
for the TOS 4.xx Desktop. This version does not allow you to create your own
icons, just edit existing ones. Although it has all the usual editing tools,
it seems a bit limited but further versions are planned.

FONT ORGANISER V0.02 by Vincent Godefroy - The followup to TTF-SPD on
UTL.5431. Its purpose is to enable and disable BitStream, TrueType and
Postscript fonts quickly and easily when running SpeedoGDOS or NVDI 3 (or
later). It does this using the same method as that employed by NVDI 4. The
process is speeded up by the fact that your font setup is saved in INF files
which are read the next time you run the program. This is especially useful
in the case of fonts stored on CD-ROM where the initial scan can take up to
15 minutes! There's also the ability to search for fonts nested in folders
on a CD-ROM. All changes made by FONT ORGANISER are effective immediately
and you don't need to reboot.
STEELFIX by Elite - A replacement loader for the Falcon game Steel Talons
which fixes problems it has running on some RGB monitors.
KONTEXT by Bartosz Iljaszewicz - Converts word processor files from the PC
and Mac to 1st Wordplus format. The supported WP programs are Word for
Windows v2.0c, Word for Mac v5.0, Write for Windows, TAG for DOS v2.02 and
CHI Writer for DOS v3.52. The conversion tables are in ASCII so there's
nothing stopping you writing your own conversion tables for other WPs. Docs
are in Polish but program's in both languages and very easy to use.
THE CADENZA COLLECTION - A collection of useful utilties, all complete with
source code (HiSoft Basic) by Matthew Bacon. All titles are being
distributed as Freeware, despite their high quality.
AUTOCLOCK V2.61 - A nice friendly GEM based program which lets you set the
time and date (reads system time at bootup). If running on a multi-tasking
OS, it can also display a clock on screen and has an alarm facility which
alerts you with the message of your choice. On TOS 1.4 or later you should
set it up as an Auto Install application.
CALC IT V4.00 - A handy ACC based calculator. It's rather basic in the
functions (+, -, x, /, M+, MR) it offers but is perfectly adequate for most
needs.
LOCKOUT V1.10 - An ACC based password protection system. Type in any
password when you leave your desk. A dialog will pop up requesting that the
password be entered. Short of rebooting, nobody will be able to gain access
to your machine in your absence. Enter the same password to 'unlock' your
machine. PALETTE - Two small programs, the first stores your current Desktop
palette settings and the second (run after a program which messes up the
palette on exit) restores them.
PASSWORD v1.10 - An Auto folder program which requires a password. Place it
first in the Auto folder and you won't be able to continue the boot process
(let alone reach the Desktop!) until the correct password has been entered.
PRINT IT V1.00 - Useful program for printing ASCII text files. It supports
the use of headers, footers, lines per page, page numbering, pages to be
printed, number of copies, margin settings and more. It even lets you use
the built-in fonts in your printer. An Epson printer driver is supplied as
standard but YOU CAN edit the ESCape codes to suit your own printer using
PRINT IT V2.
PRINT IT V2.05 - Designed especially for those of you who own the more
modern printers which don't have dipswitches! It allows you to create and
test your own printer drivers which can then be used in conjuction with
PRINT IT V1 to print out ASCII text files.

DUET MAGIC V0.4 by Senseless Software - A Freeware patch which allows the
networking software DUET (on F.5018) to run under the MagiC operating system
(rather than TOS).
QED V4.10 by Christian Felsch - A very powerful text editor from Germany. It
has its own Desktop and looks reminiscent of Tempus. QED is fast, GEM based
and supports the calling of external programs allowing you to make, link,
compile and run your own source code via any SE compatible shell. It
supports the use of any loaded font (rather than the System font) if
(Speedo)GDOS or NVDI (v3 or later) is installed and prints using 1st
Wordplus printer drivers so there should be no problem finding a driver to
suit. Like Everest, it supports the use of kurzels (shortcuts for commonly
used words and phrases), keyboard shortcuts and the GEM Clipboard. A macro
recorder is built in. Supports the following protocols, VA_START, AP_TERM,
AC_HELP, SH_WDRAW, SC_CHANGED, DRAG & DROP, OLGA and SE and supports the use
of long filenames (on systems offering this feature). Program in English and
German but docs (in ST-Guide format) only partially translated.
MOONGAMES X LOADER by Daniel Fischer - An alternative loader for MoonGames
which allows you to increase your credits to any amount and save up to 8
games which can then be resumed by selecting them from a menu.
MULTI-SAVER V1.00 by Graham Jarvis & Ben Allfree - A multi-media screen
saver. It lets you play a MOD file and display an MPEG animation after a
specified period of inactivity to prevent monitor burn-in. It works in
conjunction with Paula and Play MPEG (although you can use any MPEG player),
both of which are included. All you need are the MOD and MPG files of your
choice (check out our SOUND and ENT_DEMO sections in the catalogue for a
selection of both). You can set the idle time, which peripherals to monitor
for activity and by listing several MPEGs and MODs, get a random selection
each time Multi-Saver runs. Just one catch, it needs to be run on a multi-
tasking OS (Multi-TOS, Geneva, MagiC etc).
NOTES v2 by Dominique Béréziat - A handy utility which lets you create notes
which can be pasted onto the Desktop as reminders. Performs an identical
function to the Memo Pad in Ease and Stickies on the Macintosh. If
(Speedo)GDOS is loaded you can use any installed font for your notes. All in
French but use is obvious. Must be run under Multi-TOS, MagiC or Geneva.
RGBVGA v2 by Ivan Dimbleby - Allows you to automatically boot up with a
different NEWDESK.INF to suit your monitor type. Useful if you have RGB and
VGA monitors and regularly swap between them. RGBVGA checks the monitor type
and loads the correct INF.

START ME UP SETUP V1.0 by Heiko Schäfer - An invaluable companion to Thomas
Much's Start Me Up on UTL.5760. It allows you to drag and drop pathnames
into the Start button to automatically add them to SMU's configuration file.
Guaranteed to save hours of manually typing your system details into SMU.
Unfortunately it's in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs.
LHARC JUNIOR V3.12 by Dirk Haun - A cut down TTP based version of Christian
Grunenberg's LHARC Shell for use with CLIs. Ideal for use with the Two In
One shell on UTL.4372. Includes THE EXPLORER'S GUIDE TO LHARC by Alan
Kennedy, which is a document detailing the history of LHARC and discussing
the various versions available. All programs and docs in both English and
German.
STRAINER by UDS - A cheat program for use with their Substation game. Load
in any saved game file and change its attributes to suit. It lets you select
different starting levels and much more. Obviously you'll need the original
Substation game in order to use this program.
IMAGIN V3.2E by Reinhard Maier - A comprehensive graph plotter which excels
in its ability to handle complex numbers and supports logarithmic output.
Features include fast fourier transformation with autoscaling, fast flexible
output of complex and real functions, formula library with 50 functions,
powerful zooming, polar mode, logarithmic scaling of both axis, printing and
font support via (Speedo)GDOS and NVDI (v3 or later), full support for mouse
and keyboard, multi-tasking friendly and much more. A special FPU version is
included for enhanced performance on machines with an FPU. Includes docs in
ST-Guide format.
DRUG GLOSSARY by W G Jones - A Supercard 3 (F.5348) format database
containing brief details of over 2200 generic and brand-named drugs,
together with a range of vitamins, minerals and other preparations often
used as drugs. This is the same datafile as that on F.5365, except that this
one has been converted for use with Supercard v3 (rather than v1).
POOR MAN'S FILE SERVER (PMFS) v1.03 by Paul L Moreau - A Unix to Atari file
server. Sounds odd but what it does is allow you to connect a Unix
workstation to your Atari via the RS232 port and access the Unix's hard
drive as if it were attached directly to your computer. Files can be copied
in either direction. You get an executable for the Atari and a C source file
(which must be compiled) for the Unix. We advise the use of HSModem on
F.4365 in order to ensure reliable data transfer at higher baud rates.
PLATIN by Torsten Mohr - A printed circuit board designer. It lets you
design circuit board sizes of 128x128 (page length 16.256cm) and 256x256
(double length pages) with a depth of up to 4 planes. It has powerful block
tools enabling you to cut, copy, rotate, mirror and drag blocks. It even has
a test mode which lets you validate your circuit before creating the real
thing. This Shareware version lets you design and print your own circuits
but you cannot save them until you register. Unfortunately program and docs
are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs.

800XL DJ by Kolja Koischwitz & Christian Krüger - As the name suggests, this
is an Atari 800XL disk drive emulator. It allows you to load/save files
to/from 1050 and XF551 disk drives and print to XL printers. You must
connect the XL to the ST using an RS232 lead (a hardware modification is
also needed if using a Falcon). Data can be copied in either direction with
XL disks being stored as disk images on the ST. 800XL DJ lets you pack these
images using Atomik packer and they can still be read as normal (as virtual
drives) on either machine. Program in English but docs in German, although
we've done a RUF translation. ST and Falcon versions on disk.
ITOSHO by The Flerps - A complete new level for UDS's game, Substation. It
takes the place of your original disk 2. Obviously you must already have
Substation or it won't work!
DST by Jos den Bekker - Sets your computer's clock back by an hour in
October and forward by an hour in March to coincide with GMT/BST. Although
set to these values by default, you can specify the dates and times of
change and hours or minutes by which to alter the clock, making it an ideal
tool for use worldwide.
FAMILY TREE v2.28 by Ian & Mark Baker - This program lets you store your
family tree on disk, allowing for easy cross referencing. It comes with an
extensive manual on disk and now supports Falcon screen resolutions.
SS+SPOOL by Simon Volant - A print spooler designed to speed up printer
output in 030 based Ataris. Also included is a program which loads and
prints a TGA using the spooler and another which lets you alter the built-in
printer driver (Canon BJ-10ex by default) to suit. Unfortunately there's no
docs and the programs and assembler sources are all in French.

CALSER V1.1 by Roine Stenberg - Copyrighted Calamus fonts only run with the
copy of Calamus they are licensed for. This serial number is embedded within
the font. PD/Shareware fonts have a serial number of 0. This program
displays the serial number of every Calamus font in a given directory. It
does not attempt to change any serial numbers, it merely displays them.
GDOS PRINTER DRIVERS - A collection of GDOS (as opposed to SpeedoGDOS)
printer drivers. Supported devices include Canon LBP, Epson LQ, Epson FX80
(2 versions), HP Laserjet, MetaSys (2 versions), Star NB15, NEC P6 (2
versions), generic 24-pin (4 versions including wide carriage printers),
SLM804, SMM804. There's also a utility which lets you modify an Epson FX
(normal or wide carriage) printer driver to make it compatible with the Star
Gemini 10X or 15X or the Atari SLM804. Please note that you require a copy
of GDOS v1.1 (or one of the various PD clones) in order to use the drivers
on this disk. They will not work with SpeedoGDOS or NVDI.
GDOS_CPX - Three CPXs for use with Atari's Xcontrol on UTL.3879. They are
for use with GDOS/SpeedoGDOS.
OUTLINE.CPX - A replacement for Speedo's OUTLINE.ACC. It lets you set up the
caches and width tables, set default paths and list disabled fonts.
OPTIONS.CPX - Displays the current default Speedo printer and lets you alter
the print quality, page size, output port, DPI etc.
PRINTER.CPX - Lets you alter the default path to your fonts and printer
drivers for use with GDOS. You can also change the settings for paper size,
printable area etc. This CPX is more or less a combination of the previous
two but for GDOS rather than SpeedoGDOS.
HELP LIBRARY V2.01 by Jeroen Scheerder - A menu driven system for creating
your own Help files. Full C sources and object file are supplied so that
programmers can incorporate the system directly into their programs. For the
rest of us there's detailed instructions (in English!) on how to create your
own Help files without resorting to programming.
ST-GUIDE CREATOR REL 4 by Gregor Duchalski - A collection of five useful
tools designed to take the pain out of creating ST-Guide (UTL.5557)
hypertext files. You can convert the Tele Office handbook and PC UFP Star
Trek database into ST-Guide format. Other programs let you create alias
names for pages and append files to each other. Probably the most useful is
a program which lets you convert ASCII text into ST-Guide format allowing
text attributes, title generation and hierarchal chapter referencing to be
added automatically. These utilities are invaluable if you're thinking of
creating ST-Guide on-line Help files and reference guides. Why do it the
hard way?
DB SPOOL V1.0 - This useful ACC redirects output intended for the printer
port to a disk file. It is primarily intended for programmers to avoid the
need to put a print to disk option into their code when developing programs.
It allows them to examine the output file rather than waste reams of paper.
It will work with most applications but is really only intended for text
output, you'll get odd results if you send it graphic data!

CAR_REG V1.4 by Mark Baines - A useful CPX for use with Xcontrol (on
UTL.3879) which identifies a car's year of manufacture and place of
registration from its registration number. You can also enter a town/city
name and get a list of valid registration numbers for that area. Although
set up for UK registrations, you can alter the data file for any country.
POSTCODE V1.2 by Mark Baines - Another CPX for use with Xcontrol. It allows
you identify which town any specified postcode belongs to or obtain the
postcode by entering a place name. Although set up for UK postcodes, the
data file can be edited to suit any country.
BASE64 DECODER V0.9 by Jeremy Gillet - More and more files sent by PC users
across the Internet in email messages use Base64 encoding in preference to
uuencoding. The problem is that Atari users can't decode the damned things!
Well we can now, thanks to this useful program. It will decode any Base64
encoded file back to its original (ZIP, ZOO, LZH etc) format.
RCS30 by Bill Penner - An updated version of Atari's Resource Construction
Kit (used by programmers to create RSCs for their programs). This version
allows larger RSCs to be created, is multi-tasking friendly, support for
colour icons, and features many bug fixes over the original.
RDXFS - A loadable filesystem for use with MagiC. It installs a RAM Disk
which supports long (up to 32 characters) filenames and the use of any ASCII
character in filenames, can be password protected and runs in ST RAM or
FastRAM or both. Includes full Pure C sources. Docs in German but we've done
a RUF translation of the example config file. Requires MagiC 3 or later.
NEOICONS - A collection of over 500 icons (quite a few in colour) for use
with Gribnif's NeoDesk 4.
FALCON WAD TOOL by David Murphy - An innovative piece of software which
allows you to modify and manipulate DOOM WAD files on your Falcon. It allows
for the easy importing and exporting of resources. Obviously you're going to
need a WAD file (from a PC magazine cover disk or downloaded from the 'Net)
and a suitable DOOM engine for the Falcon (there are two on F.5528). Be
warned, WAD files are massive so you'll probably need 14 Mb in order to do
anything useful with this program.
MODRIPPER V3.41 by Crashman - As the name suggests, this program lets you
extract any 4, 6 or 8 channel Soundtracker MOD (in XM, MTM, 669, DMF, MGT,
GTK, S3M, STM, NTK, FAR, PS16, OKTA, DTM, TCB, MDL or MED format) or
pictures/animations (in EGG, FLC, FLI, GIF, IFF, INDY, JPEG, PCX, PIX, PNT,
TG1, TCP and IIM formats) from executable programs. Programs packed using
Ice Pack v2.2/2.4 or Atomik v3.5 are automatically depacked prior to
extracting, other compressed files need to be depacked manually first.
DIALER V0 by Jarek Orzechowski - Uses the DSP to generate the correct tones
to dial any specified telephone number. Not sure what its use would be in
pratical terms but it works!

CONNECTICAD DEMO - Don't be put off by the mention of the word demo, more on
this latter. ConnectiCAD is a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design package.
The package is German in origin but the RSC has been translated into
English. ConnectiCAD comes with a small symbol library and allows you to
flip, rotate or invert them to suit. Text can be printed at any size or any
angle. An invaluable feature is the ability to print reversed text, allowing
you to see either side of the board without having to think in mirror
images. Print out can be normal, reversed or composite (which allows you to
examine the component side of the board with the track side also visible).
Several sizes of pads are supplied as well as the ability to change these
sizes easily. Regrettably there's no docs supplied, although we have
supplied a detailed review of the package on the disk. This demo version
does not allow you to save your work in ConnectiCAD's own vector format, you
can save in IMG format. The only disadvantages (apart from the fact that
IMGs at 300 dpi can be huge!) is that they cannot be easily edited and
output resolution cannot be changed. Printout is supported to 9-pin, 24-pin
and Laserjet/Deskjet printers.
CLIPBOARD + by Kellis - An ACC which lets you view the contents of the GEM
Clipboard, rename SCRAP.TXT (to avoid it being overwritten when you next
copy a block) or export it to the CAB WWW browser. English and French
versions included.
STRIPPER 2 by Christoph Spengler - A useful Desktop notes utility for multi-
tasking operating systems. It lets you display up to 20 lines of text in a
movable window. Up to 10 of these windows can be open at any time and you
can specify whether the window is to remain open or close down after a
predetermined time (useful for creating reminders at boot time). The note
can be displayed using different fonts, colours and point sizes (if GDOS or
a variant is installed) for each window and can be created easily in any
text editor (you can even call your text editor to edit them 'on the fly' if
running an AV compatible Desktop such as Thing (F.5169).
MAKE MOD LIST V1.0 by Rémi Vanel - A useful utility if you collect
Soundtracker MOD files. It scans a specified directory then writes out
information on the MOD files it finds, into an ASCII file. The info includes
the file name, full module name and packed/unpacked size (if packed with Ice
2.4, Atomik 3.5 or Speed Packer 3). It can read info from S3M, DTM, MTM,
MGT, FAR, DMF, XM, AMS, ULT, GT2 and 669 formats as well as stard MODs.
English and French versions supplied.
CADENZA ADDRESS BOOK (CAB) V0.99.9 by Matthew Bacon - One of the best
address books ever written. It looks simple, nothing more than a few lines
of text (name and telephone number) in a movable GEM window. Click onto any
entry to get the main database card where name, address, telephone/fax
numbers and other notes can be found. Searching is simple, just type the
first few letters of the surname or forename and all matches will be
displayed instantly. As you type more letters, the search narrows until you
are left with a single entry. Data can be sorted alphabetically and printed
out. If you need a powerful yet easy to use address book, look no further.
ATARI PERSONAL ORGANISER V1.32b by Matthew Bacon - An integrated package
comprising of five Cadenza programs. There's a diary, notepad, calculator,
clock and address book. The clock, calculator and address book programs are
also available as stand alone programs but (unless you're short of memory)
you will probably prefer this version. The diary is very flexible acting a
reminder for upcoming events. Assuming your system clock is set correctly,
you can instantly access the Today menu which holds all your info for the
current day. Another useful feature is the 7 day summary which gives you an
overview of the week ahead. You can even re-schedule diary entries, moving
them from one date to another. Output is supported to disk or printer. The
notepad is merely for jotting down reminders as you work, regrettably these
cannot be saved. The standalone version of the address book is also on this
disk. The calculator and clock programs are on F.5826.
PLAYBACK v2.x - A cut down ACC version of Print-It v2 on F.5826. It merely
lets you send the required control codes to the printer. You will need to
have (or create) a printer driver appropriate to your printer using a text
editor or Print-It V2. After that it's a case of selecting the required
functions from the list of those available. Its main advantages over Print-
It v2 are its smaller memory requirements and ability to be called from
within any GEM program.

pin EPROMs (27C1024, 27C2048, 27C4096, 27C8192 devices) as well as the
smaller capacity 27C210 and 27C1002 varieties. The short instructions are in
German but we've done a RUF translation. Diagrams and PCB layouts are
supplied as 300 dpi IMG files. You will also require a software driver such
as Pinatubo (on F.5351 ).
M_TUNF V1.0 by David Reitter - Allows you to 'unfreeze' ACCs or programs
running in single-tasking mode under MagiC or MagiCMac. Under normal
circumstances only normal multi-tasking programs can be unfrozen if they
crash. German docs but with a RUF translation.
GRAPH V1.49 by Bernard le Tirant - Perhaps the best statistical analysis
program ever written, but don't let that put you off! Graph is is GEM based
spreadsheet with in-built graphing facilities. Everything is customisable
and simple to use. Data can be presented as pie charts, bar graphs and
linear graphs in 11 different styles. The charts are all vector graphs and
can be moved around a blank page and positioned as required. Text can be
added too. Individual graphs can be saved in GEM Metafile format or the
entire page can be printed or saved. Graph works well as a sophisticated
spreadsheet, yet offers much more with its integrated graphing functions.
There's just one catch, (Speedo)GDOS or NVDI must be installed in order to
use the fonts and graphing capabilities although plain text output is
possible from the spreadsheet without these. Program in English. A serious
competitor to K-Spread 4. Shareware at its best. Multi-tasking friendly.
TAR-IMP by Carsten Friehe - A plug in module for GEMAR v2.31 or later
(F.5149) which lets you import individual files from tape archives created
using the TAR archiving method (despite the fact that tar archives do not
have an Index file). It supports the GNU-tar, SINIX-tar and HP-UX-tar
variants. Only of use if you are already using GEMAR. German docs but we've
done a RUF translation.
TURBO PACKER by Wolfgang Mayerle - Yet another file packer. It compresses
both executable and data files, giving similar results to Ice Pack and
Atomik. No docs but simple to use.
DSPCONT - An ACC which allows you to unlock the DSP (from the Desktop or
within any GEM program) if it crashes during any operation. Avoids the need
to power down your Falcon before using another DSP based application.
DSPBENCH V1.0 - Gives information on the performance of your Falcon's
DSP56001 co-processor measured against the standard expected performance.
Results are saved to disk as an ASCII file. Most useful for comparative
purposes after fitting a processor accelerator like Nemesis.
NEMBENCH V1.0 - Another benchmark program for testing the CPU and FPU. Saves
results to disk as ASCII file. Once again most useful for testing out a
processor accelerator. No docs for either benchmark program but results are
fairly obvious anyway.

graphics cards with more than 2 colours. It also lets it run in 256 and True
Colour modes on the Falcon and on a Mac running MagiCMac.
ATARIWIC - A set of icons originally supplied in RSC format on Atari World
cover disks which have been converted for use with Gribnif's NeoDesk 4.
AZIMUTH V1.0 by Neil Wakeling - Input three of the following:- latitude,
azimuth, altitude and declination and the program calculates the fourth.
Intended to be used by amateur/pro astronomers although it could have other
uses eg; for radio HAMs.
BIG BOB V0.92 by Mark Slagell - A file finder program. It can search all
connected drives very fast. It is unique in that it does not require
wildcards to be entered, just any part of the filename you're looking for.
Big Bob can also search for ASCII text within files.
DICTION by Ray Tufft - A simple German to English translation program. Input
a German word and get its English equivalent. There is also the facility for
adding comments where a word has two or more meanings. The supplied
dictionary is very small but easily added to.
DSCHK v2.5 by Mark Baines - Displays details on a floppy disk's format and
structure and tests its integrity, reporting any errors found. It tells you
everything you could ever want to know about the selected floppy. Invaluable
tool for determining faults or even obtaining data about damaged disks prior
to attempting recovery.
MSB ANSI by Mark Baines - Replacement system fonts which contain the entire
ANSI character set. Particularly useful for comms enthusiasts designing ANSI
pages off-line and for reading ASCII documents which use special IBM
characters for underlining, boxes and so forth. They can be installed as the
default system font using NeoDesk, Fontkit, GDOS, Warp 9 or NVDI. They also
provide a much easier to read font than the standard Desktop one.
MSB ATARI by Mark Baines - As MSB ANSI except that they contain the full
Atari adaptation of the ASCII character set rather than the ANSI variant.
Once again they need to be installed using NeoDesk, Warp 9, GDOS, Fontkit or
NVDI.
SEEKxxMS by Mark Baines - Three programs which let you set the steprate on
Drive A or B to 6ms or 3ms (covers all combinations of these). Invaluable if
using slow drives or a high density drive on TOS versions below 2.06.
CLOCK SETTER v3 by Martin Howard - A clock setter program for use on a PC
running Gemulator or a PC emulator (hardware or software based) running on
an ST or Falcon. It is designed as a stop gap fix for the Millenium Bug when
running under emulation. It is not needed on a "real" Atari.
WAY POINTS V1.0 by Mark Baines - A CPX (for use with XControl on UTL.3879)
which shows the distance between any two Ordnance Survey National Grid
References and the magnetic bearing of the second from the first.
SHUTDOWN+ by Thomas Much - A replacement Shutdown program for use with
MagiC. It informs you when it is safe to switch off your computer (you
should never just hit the reset button when running a multi-tasking OS) and
reports back any errors encountered. This version has a few improvements
over the one supplied with MagiC and is also Multi-TOS compatible.
FINDER V1.10 by Holger Weets - An easy to use file finder with a number of
extras. It runs as a PRG or ACC and can perform searches as a background
task when run as an ACC or under a multi-tasking OS. Finder can locate
individual files or ASCII text within them in LZH, ZIP, ARJ and ZOO archives
as well as in regular files. It also finds files on any drive connected to
your system. German docs but very easy to use.
LPR V2.0 by Raiko Nitsche - A print spooler for use with Multi-TOS. It runs
in the background, allowing you to continue working while printing. Jobs are
managed in a print queue which can be viewed, have files removed from it, or
be removed completely. Also includes an adapted version for use on networks.
Requires MiNT or Multi-TOS.
TRANCRLF by Erlend Nagel - Converts Atari/PC, Mac or Unix ASCII files to
each other by subsituting the end of line carriage returns and/or line feeds
as necessary so as to make the text readable on the different machines.
Essential if you also use Macintosh and/or Unix machines at work.
FLEXI-ARC V3.1a by William Wong - A simple to use archiver shell which
supports up to 5 archiver programs. Does not include the archivers
themselves.
GOOFY V1.2 by Patrice Bensoussan - An interrupt driven printer spooler. It
acts just like the print function on the Desktop except that you can
continue to use your computer when the file is printing if you run it as an
ACC or under a multi-tasking OS. In fact it can even be used as a direct
replacement for Multi-TOS's LPR. Goofy is intended to be used for printing
text only but also works with applications which output in graphic mode,
albeit very slowly, but who cares when it frees up your machine to work on
something else?
STE_X by Kellis - Auto folder programs which switch on normal STE emulation
or switch the CPU and/or blitter speed to 8Mhz for compatibility with older
programs. Similar to Backward but simpler to use, although success rate
varies.
APEX ICON - A Desktop icon for Apex Media for use with TOS 4.xx. Supplied in
RSC format.
PROBE HOUSE EXPENSE MANAGER V3.2b by William Wong - A well written home
accounts package. It is entirely GEM based and both multi-tasking and
(Speedo)GDOS friendly. You can set up any number of accounts (these could be
named Car, Credit Card, Groceries, Entertainment, Mortgage etc). This is
where the money comes from. Next is the categories eg; petrol, repairs and
insurance could be linked to Car and floppy disks, hardware upgrades and
software could be linked to Computer. This method allows to create reports
on exactly where your money is going, breaking it down as far as you
specify. Budgets can be kept for any account or category, giving an analysis
of exactly how much is left in individual accounts (or by how much you have
overspent). Graphs can also be generated if required. A calendar (which
takes its setting from your internal clock) is also included. The results of
any analysis can be printed out or exported as comma delimited ASCII for
import into databases and spreadsheets. Similarly, comma delimited ASCII can
be imported into PHEM. An excellent home accounts package with more
versatility than most.

PaCifiST v0.48 by Frederic Gidouin - A Freeware ST emulator for PC and
compatibles. This disk allows you to run Atari software on a PC and is aimed
at those of you who own both machines. First of all, you need a TOS ROM
image. As the code contained within TOS ROMs is copyright Atari, it is not
supplied. Instead, an ST program is supplied which copies TOS from your own
ST into a disk file. If you no longer own a "real" ST, you will be unable to
use PaCifiST as you need this TOS image. PaCifiST is supplied on a high
density disk so it can be read on a PC but NOT on an ST. In order to use the
TOSDUMP program, you must first copy it (on the PC) onto a 720K disk then
use this on your ST. PaCifiST is compatible with all TOS versions up to 2.06
and you can swap between TOS versions if you have access to more than one.
Once set up, the program accurately emulates a standard ST or STe and
includes support for mouse, joystick, sound (DMA stereo if emulating an STE)
and all ST screen resolutions. It runs all properly behaved GEM based
programs as you would expect. In addition, it can also run most ST games and
demos, even a number of commercial games. This is done by creating disk
images which can then be autobooted like a "real" disk in Drive A and
there's no limit to the number of these "virtual disks" which may be stored
on your PC's hard drive. PaCifiST runs under DOS or Windows (incl Win95) and
comes with a number of useful setup and configuration utilities. A fast '486
(or Pentium) is required in order to emulate an ST at full speed. It will
run on lower specified machines but may be a little slow. This disk is
included in our collection for the benefit of customers who use both Atari
and PC computers. We regret that no technical advice can be offered on this
product as we do not own a PC at Floppyshop.

BUBBLEGEM V0.4 by Thomas Much - How often have you found yourself spending
hours (days?) familiarising yourself with an application's interface only
to find you've forgotten what all the icons do, a few weeks later? Bubblegem
displays short text about each icon in a speech bubble when you right-click
over the icon. Programs need to be Bubblegem aware but simple examples are
given so it's not a major job incorporating it into your own programs.
Bubblegem runs as an ACC or PRG. Several of the newer Shareware programs are
already starting to support Bubblegem.
FILLER by Remi Vanel - A tool for aiding backups. It 'decides' which of the
selected files would fit onto a floppy disk leaving the minimum of free
space. You can optionally use up all free space by cutting large files and
splitting them between two or more disks. All the calculations are done by
the program. There are some restrictions on this Shareware version. English
and French versions supplied.
CD LIB V1 by Olivier Azeau - When used in conjunction with MetaDOS or
ExtenDOS it allows you to play audio CDs on your CD-ROM drive (do remember
you'll need to use headphones or you won't hear anything!). Type Help to get
a list of commands. The program looks a bit basic at first sight but
includes C source and libraries so that you can include it functions in your
own programs.
CODX by Philippe Galmel - Password protect any file with your name and
chosen code. The file then appears garbled to anyone trying to read (or run)
it. Rerun this program and enter the correct code to restore it to its
original state.
DTCOOKIE V1.2 by Christoph Zwerschke - Adds international date and time
cookies to the Cookie Jar. These control the keyboard language and layout
and how the date and time are displayed. Their default settings are taken
from non-volatile RAM and can be changed by software. With these cookies
installed, when they are changed, the changes remain active for all
applications. Many dual language applications use these cookies to determine
which language RSC to load. Docs in German but with a RUF translation.
DUB'S PRINTER SPEEDER V1.01 - Claims to speed up printing by up to 50 times.
Similar to iPRN and Fpprint.
ENTER by Gen & Wax - Execute a TOS program from this TTP. When you exit your
chosen program, the screen display will be frozen until you press Return,
giving you as much time as you need to read any text on the screen.
MSX0 V0.12 by F van Heusden - Does anyone remember the MSX computer? This is
an MSX emulator which runs on any Atari. It appears to be quite well
designed as it features 3 channel music, printer and RS232 support and a
whole lot more. Virtual disk drives can be created and a few example basic
programs are given. Unfortunately there's no instructions, although you
should know what you're doing if you own an MSX.
OBJECT LINKING for GEM APPLICATIONS (OLGA) V1.2 by Thomas Much - Allows
object linking between programs. Put simply, under a multi-tasking OS lets
assume you have the same file open in two applications at the same time.
When you edit it in one application, it is automatically updated in the
other if object linking is active. The benefits are obvious. This version of
OLGA may be run as an ACC or set up in MagiC/Multi-TOS to run only when an
OLGA aware application is active. Includes full programmer's docs (in
English) in ST-Guide (F.4782) format. Also on disk is a program called
OLGAniser which adds OLGA support to existing GEM programs, a debugger and
other support files. Apart from OLGA itself, most of the other files/docs
are in German but we've done a RUF translation. Only runs under Mult-TOS or
MagiC.
QLEM V1.45 by Jochan Klockars - A Sinclair QL (sucessor to the ZX Spectrum)
emulator. It includes parallel port and joystick support, can boot from a
disk image and can read Atari floppy disks. However, it does not have RS232,
micro drive, hard drive or sound support. Another program is included to
read QL disks and convert the data on them into legal TOS filenames so they
can be run from the newly created virtual disk file. Like the MSX emulator,
this is an interesting curiosity rather than a full blown emulator.
WRAP MOUSE V1.61 by Richard Short - A useful program which lets you assign
key functions such as Control or Alternate to the right mouse button. You
can also make the right button simulate a double-click or swap over the
functions of the right and left buttons. The mouse pointer can also wrap
around to the opposite edge when it hits the top, bottom, left or right of
the screen area. Works with standard Atari mice as well as serial mice using
the appropriate custom driver software. All functions controlled by a CPX
for use with Atari's Xcontrol (F.4862).
TEST SCSI by Centek - Tests any SCSI hard drive (just select its ID number)
on your SCSI chain for errors.
JAY MSA V1.03 by Jay Soft - A new version of the Magic Shadow Archiver which
copies the entire contents of a disk into a single file. It creates a disk
image and is therefore ideal for use with demos since it preserves odd disk
formats and custom bootsectors. This version adds the ability to browse
directories in MSA files and extract individual files rather than an entire
disk. File compression is also supported. Jay MSA runs in a window and is
therefore ideally suited for use with Multi-TOS and Magic, although it will
run under TOS.

ICONS - A collection of GIF images of icons grabbed from the PC or Mac,
which can be imported into Interface and other Falcon icon editors for use
on your Desktop. There are 24 flags and 30 miscellaneous files (most of
which contain several icons each.
DESKTOP TEXTURES by Avernus - A collection of 26 impressive textures created
on the Mac which can be used as Desktop backdrops using Deskpic (F.3982),
Ease or most other replacement Desktops. All are created to file seemlessly
and form a continuous pattern on your Desktop. As good as they are, these
are merely samples from a larger collection.
TEXTURES - 12 more excellent Desktop textures from an unknown source.
TILES - Another 38 Desktop textures from another unknown author. These are
probably the best of the three collections in my opinion.
S_BALL by Jens Thoms Toerring - A rather unusual screen saver (generates
constantly moving images when computer is idle, so as to prevent monitor
damage). It runs as an ACC and, rather than clearing the existing screen, it
generates bouncing balls all over it. You can set the delay time, number of
balls and speed of the balls but the more balls on screen, the slower they
move. A pleasant change for the usual screen savers. Icludes ST and
TT/Falcon version as well as source code in C and assembler.
TWINSYNC - When you connect a multi-sync monitor to the Falcon, the shifter
chip generates two v_sync pulses instead of one. This upsets Protracker and
other programs. Twinsync traps every second pulse and cures the problem.
SHUTDOWN V1.5 by Alexander Barton - A replacement Shutdown program for
MagiC, MagiC PC and MagiCMac. It is configurable from an INF file and allows
you to perform a warm or cold reset of MagiC or a complete shutdown. The
shutdown process can be interrupted and you can specify how individual
programs are shut down (i.e. whether you are prompted to save data or not).
DOMAGIC by Alexander Barton - When used in conjunction with Shutdown, it
lets you restart MagiC from TOS without having to reboot.

STAMP VALUES V1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX (for use with Xcontrol on F.4862)
which calculates the minimum stamps required to make up any specified
postage value. You can specify which denominations of stamps you have
available and the data files may be updated when postage rates increase or
stamp denominations change. Highly recommended if you regularly need to post
odd-priced items.
RAGE by The Resevoir Gods - Nemesis owners will be impressed by the speed
increase on their machines but somewhat disappointed that many games and
demos refuse to run correctly. This little patch restores the Videl chip
back to a Nemesis friendly state when rogue programs try to mess it up.
FALC_RS1 - Replacement RSC files for use with Atari's
CHKDISK, CONFIG, HDX and HINSTALL which give them a 3D look.
GETREZ0 by Jim Baumgardner - Intercepts calls to getrez function to ensure
they always return a zero. This lets you run some ST low res software on
640x480 resolutions on the Falcon.
INSTALL V1.0 by Funship - Allows programmers to supply their software in a
user friendly manner. Install is set up to prompt for each disk
appropriately in the case of multiple disk installations. It can also
install the various components to different locations on your hard drive as
required. It can also uninstall programs. Very easy to set up and use with
English, French and German RSCs. All docs in English.
DCLICK by Christian Peppermuller - Lets you install applications to be
started by data files bearing different extensions. You can also decide
whether that program should be started in TOS or GEM mode and pass
parameters to it. If you have lots of installed applications, this is an
excellent way to keep your Desktop/Newdesk INF files down in size. Also,
just modify one line in every INF on your system and the same installed
application list will be active in all resolutions.
DOAUTO 2 by Christian Peppermuller - A boot selector program which lets you
set up as many as 30 custom boot up settings. It is particularly useful as
it can automatically run programs from outside the Auto folder completely
transparent to the user and you can leave useful comments in the
configuration files. ACCs can be loaded from the root directory of any
drive, not just C. Also, less memory can be allocated to the system during
boot up in order to improve speed. Your computer's full memory allocation is
restored immediately after booting.
ED_E - A basic text editor intended for editing/creating the config files
for Dclick and DoAuto.
FILELINK by Christian Peppermuller - Lets you create aliases. These are
small files which automatically start up the main program. Aliases could be
grouped in folders according to program types, although the "real" program
is often in a completely different location on your hard drive. Performs the
same function as an Alias on the Mac or a Shortcut in Windows 95.
DO SHUTDOWN by Alexander Barton - An ACC which activates a Shutdown from
MagiC. It automatically shuts down the system from the ACC menu without
having to return to the Desktop and select Quit from the File menu.
LOOK V2.4 by Gen & Wax - An impressive file editor written in Visual
Assembler. It displays the contents of any file in both hexadecimal and
ASCII in a GEM window. Edit either window and both are changed instantly,
although nothing is saved to disk until you select to do so. Up to 16 files
may be edited or searched simultaneously. Perhaps the best file edit ever
written! Runs as a PRG or ACC.
HARD DISK SAVER II by Pierre Laloe - Spins down your hard drive when it is
not being used for read or write operations. This saves power and wear and
tear on the drive motor. Only works if you have an XHDI driver (such as HD
Driver) installed. Obviously the drive spins up immediately as soon as you
attempt to access it. Runs as an ACC or PRG. Includes assembler source.
AV TEST V1.1 by Alexander Barton - Searches for the active AV server in your
system and displays a list of its capabilities (some AV servers are more
functional than others) along with the AES version number. Of no use unless
you are running a replacement Desktop (eg; Thing) which is AV compatible.
AV SERVER V1.1 by Alexander Barton - An AV server for use with MagiC and
MagXDesk. MagiC versions prior to v5 did not incorporate AV support and v5
only implements it partially. This program adds full AV support to MagXDesk.
It is only required if you are using MagiC with MagXDesk, it is not needed
if you are using Ease as your replacement Desktop.
CONFIG SL V2.2 by David Cottenceau - Acts as a sort of boot manager for SL
as it lets you create several CALAMUS.SET files (each of which may have
different modules active) and swap between them. It also links in to CFN
View and Pack CDK to let you view fonts or archive fonts or documents,
assuming you have these packages installed on your system. Unfortunately
program and docs are in French.
JAY FORMATTER V2.1 by Jay Software - Lets you format disks to normal or
extended capacities (DD and HD). You can also change the disk's volume label
or simply zero the disk rather than format it. Lots of other options are
also available. On of the best formatting programs ever. Runs as an ACC or
PRG. Multi-TOS compatible.
JAY GROUPS v1.0 by Jay Software - Lets you create symbolic links (aliases)
to files on your hard drive. It is then a case of opening the appropriate
group to bring it up in a Desktop window look-alike. Double-click a file to
run it or a folder to open it. A folder inside a group may have its contents
in many different locations on your hard drive) but they appear as if they
are all in the same location. An excellent way to organise your Desktop.
Most useful under a multi-tasking system but does run under single TOS.
Compatible the Jayshell.
LIFT OFF by Lxix Software - A simple to use program launcher for use under
single TOS. Once set up, just click the name of a program from its menu to
run that program, no matter where it is on your hard drive.
NVRAM v1.04 by Centek - Lets you set up various parameters stored in non-
volatile RAM and save them as default. These include SCSI bus arbitation,
SCSI ID and drive power down (all of which are only available with an XHDI
driver installed), date and time format, screen resolution and mode,
keyboard layout and language. Very well designed but with no docs!
THE PROHIBITOR V1.0 by Lxix Software - A password protection program. This
one is better than most because it sounds off a siren until the machine is
rebooted if an incorrect password is entered. Also, it hides the password
program and file so they cannot be seen on the Desktop. Finally, it lists
the number of failed accesses the next time you successfully log on.
RENAMER v1.0 by Lxix Software - Lets you rename any file using "illegal"
ASCII characters. Warning - don't use lowercase on the Falcon or the files
will become invisible!
G-TOOL TRANSLATION PATCH by Jared Addington - Patches the German package
Graftool so as to translate the text within the program into English. This
patch only works with the versions dated 04.02.96 and 01.01.97 and should
not be used with any other versions. We've tried it and it works perfectly!
ROMAN V1.4 by Matthias Jaap - Translates decimal numbers into Roman
numerals.
SPEAKER TOGGLE V1.0 by Lxix Software - Run from the Auto folder it switches
off the Falcon's internal speaker. Run it from the Desktop and it
alternately toggles it on and off.
DOM'S VIEWER V1.00 by Dominique Bereziat - A text file viewer which displays
files in a GEM window. It also displays the contents of binary files in
hexadecimal. It is ideally suited for use on multi-tasking systems but also
works on single TOS. In both cases it can be installed as the default file
viewer. If you insert specific codes into your text files, they will be
displayed using bold, italic, underlined or coloured text as specified. Docs
and program in French, but easy enough to figure out.

AUTOMORE by Thomas Binder - An Auto folder management tool. It lets you
specify which Auto folder to run (you can have several located anywhere on
your hard drive). You can also specify a pause between the running of
some/all Auto programs and whether or not the screen should be cleared
between programs. Unfortunately the docs are in German but we've done a RUF
translation.
RESOURCE MASTER V2.11E by Armin Diedering - An excellent resource file
editor which can handle the DESKICON.RSC files used by TOS 2.06 and above as
(including colour icons for TOS 4) well as regular RSC files. Very well
documented in ST-Guide (UTL.5557) format. Supported in the UK by
InterActive.
ELIZA V1.2 by Matthias Jaap - An up to date version of the old computer
psychiatrist program. This one is presented in an attractive GEM shell and
claims to use artificial intelligence. Tell it your problems and you may
just get a rational solution, but then again....
MINTAB40 by Petr Stehlik - An optimised version of MiNT for use with the
Afterburner 040 board. Designed to make MiNT a usable multi-tasking OS on
040 based processors. Includes several customised CFG files which can be
adapted for your own use.
MULTISTRIP v0.2 by Thomas Kunneth - Provides a taskbar similar to that used
by Windows 95, at the bottom of your screen. All active programs are
displayed here and can be selected by clicking onto their name. It is very
similar to AppLine but more versatile, displaying the time/date, a Caps Lock
indicator and allowing the names to be scrolled through. Many more options
can be user-defined. Requires N.AES or MagiC. Program and docs in German but
we've done a RUF translation of the docs.
FALCON MC68040 CPU TOOLKIT V5.07 - A compilation of drivers, patches and
tools designed to enhance the use of the Afterburner 040 board. The driver
itself locates any FastRAM fitted, joins memory segments to form contiguous
RAM, manages the CPU cache, checks FastRAM memory for errors, fixes various
DMA bugs and much more. Please note that this toolkit requires that you have
some FastRAM installed and it does not run under MagiC. Other included
software lets you emulate a 68882 FPU on the full (i.e. not LC) version of
Afterburner, allow Afterburner to cooperate with Nemesis, generate a floppy
disk bootsector which gets round some booting problems, fix various DMA and
SCSI related problems, switch the blitter to half speed, use the copyback
cache, set program flags and more. All programs are very well documented but
only work if you have an Afterburner accelerator fitted to your Falcon.

AB40FIX by Doug Little - If you have recently fitted an Afterburner
accelerator and are experiencing key stuck/key repeat/mouse movement
problems, you need this program. The problem is caused by timimg problems
with certain programs (usually those written in Pure C or Turbo C) and this
program patches the offending applications to cure the problem.
ACCESSORIES V2.0 by Mickael Cousin - An Auto folder program which lets you
load up your ACCs from any location on your hard drive (even from inside a
folder). Docs in English and French.
ATORIC v0.3 by Christian Peppermueller - An Oric 1/Oric Atmos emulator. It
is a near perfect emulation of this once popular 8-bit micro dating back to
about 1983-85, with the exception that there is no easy way to port Oric
programs across from the original tapes. Runs at about 40% of the speed of a
real Oric on a 16Mhz Falcon. Docs in English and German.
MULTISTRIP V0.2 by Thomas KÜnneth - A "task manager" for GEM programs. It
looks like the taskbar in Windows 95 and behaves similarly, allowing you to
select any currently running task by clicking its button. It also features a
Caps Lock indicator and clock as well as pop-up menus which let you perform
various actions on the selected task. Only runs if N.AES or MagiC are
installed.
SEABAER - Logs activity under MagiC. It notes what time you started up MagiC
and what time your session was terminated. There's masses of other
information such as whether the session was terminated by a crash, shutdown
or resolution change and how long your sessions have lasted during the past
day, month or year. Lots of other statistics are also available.
VIDIEDIT by Mauricio Ricaldi - When you save an animation captured by
HiSoft's VideoMaster, you can set up a default COM file which determines how
your animation should be replayed (7 different options are supported). It is
normally necessary to edit the COM file manually using a word processor.
This program lets you set up the desired display mode and offset positions
quickly and easily with a couple of mouse clicks and saves your settings in
an appropriate command file.
EMUXL V0.3.1 by Konrad Kokosziewicz - An Atari 400/800XL emulator for the TT
and Falcon. It runs at about 35% of the speed of a real XL, though hardware
accelerators do boost performance (up to 155% of original speed with
Afterburner). It currently emulates Graphics 0 and Graphics 8/24 modes but
is under constant development. Like the old Xformer emulator, this one uses
virtual disk images as the preferred method of accessing the XL software.
However, individual files on your Atari drives may also be loaded directly.
As ever, the main problem is porting the files/disk images across from the
XL. MiNT, N.AES and MagiC compatible!

CBHD V5.02 by Claus Brod and Steffen Engel - A Freeware hard disk driver,
complete with easy to use formatting, partitioning and user definable custom
setup capabilities. It completely replaces AHDI, ICD Utilities or whatever
other hard disk driver you happen to be using. So why change your hard disk
driver? Well, CBHD is one of the most modern hard disk drivers for the Atari
range of computers. It removes many of the restrictions found in other
driver software and it helps ensure cross-platform compatibility and
therefore portability of data. Features include:- supports up to 24
partitions, allows you to partition floppy disks!, fully supports the SCSI 2
standard, fully supports ALIA (which allows up to 32 SCSI devices to be
connected instead of the normal 8!) and ICD host adaptors, boots from any
chosen partition, not just C, boot from any SCSI device, not just SCSI ID 0
and performs transfers in the background under MagiC. CBHD is an XHDI
compliant driver which essentially means that it can read and write to PC
formatted SCSI devices provided the partition size does not exceed 32 Mb (if
it does, use BIGDOS on F.5509). CBHD comes with an easy to use GEM based
configuration program. It is well documented in ST-Guide format, but
entirely in German. This latest version supports both SCSI and IDE drives.
Falcon owners are warned about possible timing problems when using with SCSI
devices (only affects some Falcons) as CBHD, in certain cases, transfers
data too fast for the machine! There's even a circuit diagram showing how to
modify your machine, should this be a problem!
MINTAB40 by Petr Stehlik - A modified MiNT kernal for use with the
Afterburner 68040 processor accelerator board. It can be used alongside KGMD
MiNT, MiNT TOS, N.AES, MultiTOS, XaAES, Geneva etc.
SCRIBE V1.0 by Mauricio Ricaldi - Video titling software. Designed
specifically to run in 256 colours on the Falcon, this simple to use package
is capable of some impressive effects. There are five special effects
(thunder, snow, space etc), six text effects, different display speeds,
different fonts and different background/text colours. Each presentation may
consist of several pages with appropriate pauses between them. Work can be
saved to disk as you progress. The end result may then be captured on video
tape to form your title/end credits.
SGSCAN v1.1a by Dominique Bereziat - A tool for use with ST-Guide (F.4782)
and the HCP and STool utilities. It lets you create an ST-Guide hypertext
file of the directory structure of any drive connected to your system. You
can browse through the hypertext like real directories and even launch
programs from it! Documented in English and French.
TEXTO V1.2 by Stephane Perez - Text file converter. Converts between Atari
ASCII, Pro 2 (a format used by Minitel), NTF (as used by Toxic disk mag),
Windows ASCII and HTML. It even handles the conversion of characters above
ASCII 128 into their HTML equivalents.

CURRENCY CONVERTER V1.0 by Mario Becroft - Converts between the currencies
of UK, USA, Germany, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, France, Italy, Spain,
Sweden, Japan, Hong Kong, Holland and Portugal. Other currencies can be
added. Sensible (current) conversion rates are given and these can be
altered to the exact exchange rate. The country name, currency name,
currency symbol and exchange rate are all displayed. Enter the amount in one
currency and click the convert button to display its value in any other
currency. You can even subtract VAT (or the appropriate sales tax) from the
value of any transaction provided you know the current rate for that
country. An invaluable piece of Shareware.
ENHANCED CHARACTER INTERPRETER V1.4 by Matthias Jaap - Enter any
abbreviation or word and ECI gives a computer oriented translation eg; PRINT
gives Pixel Random Integrated Non-Maskable Task! Click the translate button
again and get another "translation" of the same word. More for fun than
anything else but could have its uses.
ELF ARC V1.5 - An easy to use archiver shell. Unlike most other archiver
shells, this one includes a built-in archiver. It lets you create archives,
view their contents (and text files within them) and extract their contents.
You can also create self-extracting archives. Uses the LHA compression
method.
FALCON-X by Kellis - Another STE emulator. Simply drop an ST/STe program
onto it and you will be asked to set various parameters. All being well, the
program will now run. The settings for that program are saved so you don't
have to alter them every time you use Falcon-X. Primarily designed to fix
problem games, it works for any ST/STe program. Success rate is variable.
FILECALL v1.0 by Lxix Software - Brings up the file selector from the
Desktop. It can be useful when Freedom and other replacement file selectors
are installed as they offer easy access to many Desktop functions.
MAXMOVE V1.0 by John Curtis - An Auto folder program which lets you display
random backdrops (with Desktop replacements such as Ease, Thing and NeoDesk)
and automate certain functions such as the copying of files to a ramdisk or
moving/renaming files.
RAM LEAK - Monitors RAM usage to check for RAM leakage and seals off any
leaks found.
RAM HOG - Lets you set aside a predetermined amount of RAM for use by
programs which usually grab all available memory so they are restricted to
using a specified amount of RAM. RAM Leak and RAM Hog are really designed
for use on multi-tasking systems and come with no docs.
RAM SCAN by ELF Software - Displays a map of RAM usage. Moving the mouse
over the graph displays the name of the application occupying that memory
space. Only runs if Geneva is installed.
HORLOGEP V5.09 by Didier Mequignon - Multi-purpose ACC which includes a
talking clock, date and alarm feature, ramdisk and screen saver. Multi-
tasking friendly. Unfortunately both program and docs are in French.
HP STUDIO V1.0 by Aurelien Diot - Described as "the Atari-HP-48 Interface",
this package allows you to link up your Atari to a Hewlett Packard HP-
48G/48GX handheld organiser. You can create/edit graphics, text and fonts or
even write your own assembler programs for the HP-48 on your Atari. Data can
then be transmitted back to the handheld device.
LMS LAUNCHER II V0.52 by John Curtis - A GEM based program launcher. You may
have as many items on your menu as required and each program is no more than
a mouse click away. TTPs can have parameters passed to them automatically
and the program can sport a 3D interface when running in 16 or more colours.
Grow/shrink dialogs are also supported. When running on a multi-tasking OS,
launched programs will automatically become the selected application,
putting LMS II into the background. A default path to ST-Guide can also be
set up for programs which have help files in STG format.
MENU3D by Manfred Lippert - Gives a 3D look to all Desktop menu lines and
sub-menu entries. Only works under MagiC in resolutions with 16 or more
colours.
POPFOLD by Holger Weets - Adds a heirachical popup menus to Jinnee and other
replacement Desktops. When you position the mouse over a folder, a window
pops up showing the folder's contents and allows you to copy files directly
into sub-folders without having to open them directly from the Desktop. This
feature is already present in Ease v5.
TASKBAR V1.2.0 by Jo Even Skarstein - A Windows 95 style Taskbar like
Multistrip on F.6131, except this one only runs with N.AES. When used with
Thomas Much's Start Me Up on F.5709 it gives a combined Taskbar and Start
menu just like the dreaded Windows 95!

CALEN_98 by John Godbey - A 1998 calendar for Papyrus users. Neatly laid
out, it runs from Nov 1997 to Dec 1998. You can of course edit the dates for
later years. Please note that this file requires Papyrus 4.35 or newer. Use
it as is or amend to suit.
PAPYRUS FONTS by John Godbey - Early versions of Papyrus were supplied along
with a CD containing 500 True Type fonts. The only problem was that no
printed examples of the fonts were given. This collection of Papyrus
documents allows you to print out examples of the fonts from the CD. It does
not contain examples of all 500 fonts, but does feature at least one example
(usually more) from each font family. Obviously it is only of use if you
already own Papyrus and the 500 Fonts CD. Please note this file requires
Papyrus v4.35 or later.
LED CLOCK v6.0 by Eric Hall - Displays a clock face and shows the seconds as
they tick away. A digital display is shown in the center. The clock window
is resizable. Only really useful in a multi-tasking environment where it
goes to sleep when its window is not selected.
GNU MAKEINFO - Many Unix-inspired applications and some programming manuals
are supplied in TEX format. This converts them into user-friendly ST-Guide
files. Not an easy program to use but well worth the effort.
MDESK V0.60 by Magnus Kollberg - A "virtual" Desktop for MagiC users. It
lets you move windows (program windows, directory windows, it doesn't
matter) off the edge of the physical screen to make more space on the
Desktop. Just move them back again when you need them.
N.AES.RSC - English language RSC files for use with N.AES. There's also a
sample N_AES.CNF file which is commented in English.
S_TIDYUP by Swampdog - A useful utility which lets you shut down after a
predetermined time, force an invisible mouse pointer to re-appear, turn off
the flashing TOS cursor, enable/disable screenwrap etc. Most useful under a
multi-tasking OS.
UKEX V4.5 by Ulf Ronald Andersson - Allows you to customise your keyboard
layout. Most useful if you have a keyboard of a different nationality and
want to use your "usual" keyboard layout. As well as merely designating
which key activates which letter is activated by which key, UKEX also allows
extra characters to be accessed by using the SHIFT, ALT, SHIFT+ALT and
CAPSLOCK keys.
AB040 V0.4 by Magnus Kollberg - A multi-purpose ACC for use with the
Afterburner 040 accelerator board. It lets you switch on/off the data cache,
instruction cache and copy back cache. You can also play a predefined (or
randomly selected) sample at boot up and get a read out of free RAM. Docs in
ST-Guide (F.4782) format.
HCACHE V0.3 by Eric Hall - Switches on the cache on a Hades 040/060 machine.
It also forces the cache to stay on when other programs try to disable it.
MIXER V0.8 by Eric Hall - A mixing studio for Hades with a SoundBlaster card
installed. Currently only Mic, Line, Master and CD volume/gain work, but
it's a start. Also runs on the Falcon but only input and master settings are
active so it only really acts as a basic single line audio sampler.
PNP V0.5 by Eric Hall - Allows PC ISA cards to be used on any TOS compatible
computer with ISA ports (designed for the Hades in particular). It locates
and initiates up to three ISA cards. It does not install the cards, it
merely initiates them. You need driver software like MIXER to access the
card's functions.
SNDPATCH V0.6A by Eric Hall - Re-routes sound output from your programs to a
SoundBlaster card installed in ISA slot 2. The only stipulation is that the
card must be configured at base address 0x220 and PNP must be installed.
Still at an early stage of development and problematical with some programs.
Regrettably you need an 040/060 TOS clone (Hades recommended) with built-in
ISA ports to use this software.
IBM2AT41 - Converts files from v4.2 of the PC word processor Word Perfect
into the format used by v4.1 of the Atari version of this program and vice
versa. If your PC version of Word Perfect is newer than v4.2, you must
output the files in v4.2 format.
ICFS CPX V1.13 by John McLoud - A CPX (for use with Xcontrol on F.4862)
which gives you easy access to the customisable settings (mainly connected
with the size and positioning of the iconified windows) for Dirk Haun's
Iconify File Server on F.5169.
MAGTOROM v1.3 by Uwe Seimet - One of the reasons MagiC crashes is because,
unlike TOS, it is stored in RAM and errant programs can over-write parts of
MagiC. This patch redirects any attempted over-writes of the MagiC code to
the 68030's PMMU and generates a bus error instead of pulling the system
down. Runs on the TT and Falcon.
REDRAW by Eric Hall - An ACC which, when selected, forces an entire redraw
of the Desktop and all open windows. Most Useful on a multi-tasking OS,
performs the same purpose as Ease's Tidy Up function.
SM195DRV V0.9 by Ralf Zimmerman - Driver which allows you to make full use
of extended resolutions possible on the Atari SM195 large screen monitor
with the Viking card installed. Apparently Atari's driver did not work with
68030 CPUs. Probably only of use to TT/PAK030 owners.
STD_CONF - Default configuration files for use with Videlity and both RGB
and VGA monitors. Optimal settings are included for most of the more common
monitors.
VDESK V0.99 by Jo Even Skarstein - Performs the same virtual Desktop
functions as MDESK (also on this disk) but this version only runs if N.AES
is installed.
XHDI TOOL V1.0 by Robert Weir - Some useful tools for those using XHDI
compatible hard disk drivers such as HDDriver and CBHD. It gives info on any
selected device, lets you eject or reject removable media, lock/unlock
devices, park/unpark devices and reserve/free devices. A bit cryptic to use
but it's a start.
WINDOW COMMANDER UPDATE - A minor update to this program which handles the
windowed dialogs of later MagiC versions correctly. It also incorporates
support for John McLoud's STiC iconify server (F.5779). This is not a
standalone package and must be used in conjunction with WINCOM on F.5546.
ACCFOLDR V1.13 by Dave Murphy - Lets you load all your ACCs from a folder
rather than the root directory of your boot drive. The folder must be on
your boot drive but can have any name you wish and be nested if required.
Unlike PANTHER, this redirect utility does only redirects during boot up or
res change and does not affect copying or other operations.

TOSBOX V1.4 by Mark Slagell - The latest Shareware Atari emulator which runs
on a PC. This one is reputed to be very compatible with most utility type
software and almost all well-behaved GEM programs. Very few games will run,
nor will software which "plays tricks" to achieve its aims, such as most
demos. These are better run on PacifiST (F.6049), though TOSBOX is more
stable as a development environment. Some programmers are currently writing
ST programs on TOSBOX! Other advantages over PacifiST include direct access
to floppy disks, PC hard drives and PC CD-ROMs, an easier set up procedure
(it's completely automatic) and the ability to run ST software in SVGA modes
as well as standard ST resolutions. Please note that you will need to copy
the TOS ROM from your ST in order to use TOSBOX. We cannot supply it for
copyright reasons but an ST program to copy your own TOS ROM is supplied.
TOS versions 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.62 and 2.06 are all supported. Sound,
joysticks and MIDI are not supported by TOSBOX. Minimum requirements are a
'386 with VGA display, a hard drive and 2Mb of free RAM, recommended is a
'486 with VESA 1.2 compliant SVGA display and 4Mb or more of free RAM
(supports up to 14Mb). Please note that this disk only runs on a PC
compatible computer. It will not run on an Atari computer. TOSBOX runs at
the speed of an ST on a DX4/66 and twice the speed of an ST on a Pentium 75.
This disk is included in our collection for the benefit of customers who use
both Atari and PC computers. We regret that no technical advice can be
offered on this product as we do not own a PC at Floppyshop.

NOSTALGIA V0.50 by Philippe Gerin - A Freeware ST emulator for the Apple
Macintosh. For all intents and purposes, NoSTalgia is the Macintosh version
of PacifiST (F.6049). It allows you to run most Atari programs on a Mac,
even those which "break the rules" of clean programming. Like PacifiST, it
is highly compatible with games and demos, using disk images, rather than
giving direct access to the Mac's disk drives. Its limitations is speed and
the fact that you cannot access data on disk images which use extended (eg
82*10) formats. MagiCMac beats NoSTalgia about fivefold on speed and has the
ability to access the Mac's hardware, but NoSTalgia runs much of the
software that trips up MagiCMac. It runs at about half the speed of an ST on
a 75Mhz 601 processor, full speed on faster processors. It cannot read ST
disks, the data must be transferred to PC formatted disks (can be created on
any Falcon or using your Mac) and converted into a disk image using DUST
(see below). You will need a copy of your ST's TOS ROM in order to use
NoSTalgia and an ST program which dumps it to disk, is included. NoSTalgia
supports TOS 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 and allows you to swap between these easily
(if you have the required TOS images). It supports all three ST screen
resolutions, emulates joysticks and has full sound (not DMA based stereo!)
support. This latest version lets you create a 20Mb hard drive but you still
have the problem of getting your data across to the Mac.
DUST V1.02 by Marcus Phillips - Reads a PC formatted 720K disk and converts
it into a disk image suitable for use with NoSTalgia. It also converts disk
images created with the Atari program MSA II into the required format.
Minimum requirements for NoSTalgia are a Power Macintosh with 4.5Mb of free
RAM. Also, you must have PC Exchange installed or you will be unable to read
this disk or transfer the TOS grabber program/TOS image between your ST and
Mac. Please note this disk cannot be used on an Atari computer. It is only
of use if you wish to emulate an ST on a PowerMac.

ENGLISH <==>GERMAN by Ralf Zimmerman - How would you like the power of a
pocket translator on your Atari? OK, slight exaggeration but this package is
the closest yet. It is supplied as ST-Guide (ST-Guide Lite included on disk)
files which include several thousand English and German words. It is
organised logically and offers translations in both directions. If you need
to translate an entire ASCII text, Ruftrade (UTL.5003) will perform the task
faster and save the result to disk. What this package does is let you look
up individual words in either language and (unless you search the whole
document) is much faster than using a pocket dictionary. It's slower than
Ruftrade but much more accurate due to its larger vocabulary. I see it as an
invaluable companion to Ruftrade for translating the words that package
stumbles on. ENGLISH <==>GERMAN must have taken many months to compile and
is an invaluable addition to everyone's collection. Needs a hard drive.

GENEVA 005 UPGRADE PATCH - Patches v004 of Gribnif's Geneva multi-tasking OS
to v005. This version makes Geneva compatible with the AV protocol, supports
the launching of NPG modules, works much faster with MiNT and has about 40-
50 other improvements/fixes. Please note you require original Geneva v004
master disks in order to perform this upgrade.
GENEVA 006A UPGRADE PATCH - Patches v005 of Gribnif's Geneva multi-tasking
OS to v006. This upgrade mainly consists of bug fixes to v005, though there
are a few improved features. Please note you require original Geneva v005
master disks in order to perform this upgrade. If you don't already have
Geneva, this program is of no use to you.
GNVA6FIX - The original upgrade patch from v005 to v006 (not the one on this
disk) was bugged and caused the system to become unstable in certain
circumstances. This patch fixes the problem. If you are already using the
006A upgrade (on this disk) you do not need this patch.
ATARI ENVIRONMENT MANAGER V1.00 by Alexandre Very - A boot manager program
for multi-tasking systems. It lets you specify which Auto folder programs,
ACCs and CPXs are to be loaded for the current session. If Xboot is
currently installed in your system, its configuration files are converted
for use with AEM. One of the better boot managers. Works with Multi-TOS,
Geneva and MagiC. All docs in French.
HYPERION by Keith Baines - A hypertext viewer for use on the Psion Series 3a
and 3c. It gives Psion users a similar system to ST-Guide. This is only a
viewer, registered users get a program which lets you create your own
hypertexts. It may seem odd to include a Psion program in an Atari catalogue
but transfering files to and from the Psion is easier than ever with S3toST,
also by Keith.
VFAT by Petr Stehlik - Allows you to copy files with long filenames from
Windows 95 hard drive partitions to Minix partitions. Its primary use would
be to transfer files from a removable media cartridge to your Minix
partition. You would of course need to have BIGDOS or HD Driver 7 installed
in your system in order to read the PC formatted cartridge in the first
place.
VFAT_UTI by Petr Stehlik - Displays a directory listing of the contents of a
Windows 95 floppy disk or hard drive cartridge, showing the long filenames
correctly.

TTF-GDOS V0.1 by Trevor Blight - The biggest problem with GDOS versions
prior to SpeedoGDOS was a distinct lack of fonts. This was further
compounded by the fact that separate font files had to be created for each
point size required. The result was that you were stuck with the limited
range of styles and point sizes available in PD or you had to create your
own. Short of purchasing Speedo, TTF-GDOS solves all of the above problems
and more. It lets you use True Type fonts (we have over 400 of them in the
FONTS section of the catalogue) within your GDOS based applications at any
size from 7pt to 38pt. As well as being faster than Atari's GDOS, it can use
Motorola type TTF fonts as well as Intel ones, swap printer drivers from
within an application and load drivers from any location, not just the
GEMSYS directory. If that's not enough, you save disk space too as TTF fonts
take up less disk space than their GDOS equivalents. This disk is an
essential purchase if you are still using GDOS v1.11. TTF-GDOS is not an
upgrade to Speedo or NVDI 3/4. It still uses bitmapped fonts rather than
their vector equivalents. Please note it does not include any printer
drivers, so you will need to use the ones supplied with your original GDOS
distribution or those available on F.5965. Most GDOS based programs work
well with TTF-GDOS but some (including Timeworks) do not. Trial and error is
the watchword here. Includes a selection of fonts and several support
programs. A very well concieved and extensively documented product.
ICONS - Almost 150 icons for use with the THING replacement Desktop on
F.5169. As well as regular icons, miniature versions are also included. Many
of these icons are for newer applications and do not appear in earlier icon
collections. Although intended for use with THING, they can also be used on
the Falcon's built-in Desktop in place of the supplied DESKICON.RSC file or
as additions to it if you have an RSC editor such as Interface.
BAR V0.02 by Peter Rottengatter - A button bar for use with Multi-TOS,
Geneva or Magic. It displays a row of program names horizontally. Just press
the appropriate button to launch that program. Sounds a bit basic, but it's
really quite neat! It's a bit like the Windows 95 task bar, except thatits
the programs of your choice which are listed, not active running tasks. You
can set the font, font size, font colour, text to be displayed and even pass
parameters to the program. Obviously you must first set up the INF file to
indicate which program names are to be included and of course specify the
path to the appropriate programs.
FALCON WAD TOOL V1.01 by Dave Murphy - An editor for DOOM WAD files. As well
as letting you snoop around inside WAD files, it serves three main purposes.
You can extract graphics and sound samples, replace existing graphics and
sound samples with your own, and finally, you may remove parts of the WAD
which are not currently supported by the Bad Mood DOOM engine (F.5528) so as
to save disk space. Please note when employing the last function that your
WAD files will not be compatible with the original DOOM game.
FIGLET V2.1.1 by Eero Tamminen - Have you ever seen examples of logos, 3D
text and jazzy messages created from nothing more than plain ASCII
characters? They are probably most common in email signature files but
infrequently appear elsewhere. Lets blow away the myth, they are not
laboriously created by hand, they are generated automatically using a
program called FIGLET! Finally we have an Atari version of FIGLET and a
collection of over 130 "ASCII fonts". The only drawback is that it's a TTP
program and therefore less than intuitive to use. Having said that, it is
well documented. Figlet is best run from a command line as the standard
input box for a TTP does not give much space for the necessary commands to
be entered. Needs a hard drive.

EXECUTE by Mikael Lundqvist - Lets you run other tasks in parallel with the
CLI on a multi-tasking OS such as MagiC, Geneva or Multi-TOS. You can also
search for programs and files.
FAKEMINT V1.0 by Guido Flohr - Many programs are compliled with GNU C using
the MintLib library files to ensure compatibility with MiNT. However, many
of these programs do not actually use any of the features present in MiNT.
Others use features which are also present in Geneva and MagiC. Such
programs check to see if MiNT is running, if not they exit. This program
installs a cookie which makes programs think that MiNT is running. It allows
most MiNT programs to run on other multi-tasking OSs and perhaps some may
even work under TOS. Please note FAKEMINT does not actually install any of
MiNT's features, it just fools the system into thinking MiNT is present.
Consequently, programs which do use MiNT specific features will crash your
system! GEM
LOAD V1.5 by Markus Pristovsek - Displays the system workload graphically.
It is indicative of how processor-intensive programs are, though its
information is for the system as a whole rather than for individual
programs. Most useful with a multi-tasking OS, but also runs as an ACC under
TOS.
THE ATARI COMPENDIUM ST-GUIDE HYPERTEXT by JaySoft - An ST-Guide front end
to the popular Atari Compendium CD-ROM. The Atari Compendium has its index
presented in HTML format ordinarily, but this package offers the now
standard ST-Guide as an alternative front end. Please note this disk is of
no use to you unless you own a copy of the Atari Compendium CD-ROM. Also, it
needs to be run from a hard drive. CC10F - French docs,RSC and help files
for Currency Converter on F.6133.
HDD_DMN by MC Soft - Yet another attempt to connect an Atari to a PC using
the parallel port, but this one is very different. As well as allowing file
transfers to and from the PC (can't transfer to the PC unless your PC has a
bi-directional parallel port), it also lets you run DOS programs on an ST
(doesn't work on a Falcon!), gives access to networked drives and supports
all PC models from the '286 upwards. PC drives are seen as Atari drives and
you can load or save data directly to/from them as if they were connected to
your Atari. Both Atari and PC software is included on the disk along with
details of how to make up the required lead to connect the two machines. If
you already use Parallel Copy (F.5779) or Paralink 2000, the lead from that
can be used. Although not lightning fast, transfer speeds are up to 20 times
that which can be achieved using a null modem cable. Registered users can
print directly to the PC's printer and automatically synchronise their clock
to the PCs!

AUTOVIEW by Tony Greenwood - Allows you to automatically play CyberPaint SEQ
files and a whole lot more besides! The files can be packed with a range of
packer programs, but ensure you use Ice Pack if it is to be used on a
Falcon. As well as playing the animation, you can also have chip music (19
different types are supported) or sampled sound (in WAV format) playing
alongside the SEQ, ideal for creating your own intros. Falcon's don't
support the chip music and pre-STe machines don't support the sampled sound,
but the program lets you set up your intro to play the correct type of music
on any machine. It can even be installed as an application, so you can
double-click an SEQ file to play it. ST Low res only.
WIN95FIX V0.04 by David de Ridder - If you copy files from a PC running
Windows 95 onto a floppy disk, the disk often appears to be messed up (even
Atari programs on the disk appear to be damaged) when you try to read it on
your Atari. This is caused by the VFAT system used by Windows 95 which
handles long filenames on DOS formatted floppy disks. It writes illegal (to
TOS at least) filenames with illegal file sizes. This program deletes these
files and allows your Atari to access the data on the disk without further
hindrance.
SENTINEL v1.0 by Karl Ashton - A password protection system for MagiC users.
It runs before the desktop and asks you to log in. Get the password wrong
three times and your machine locks up. As well as locking out unwanted
"guests", Sentinel also logs all access attempts so you know when someone
tried to access your computer and what their attempted password was!
PARALINK 2000 by Paul Finch and Thomas Haines - An excellent program which
allows you to connect two Ataris, two PCs or an Atari and a PC together for
the purposes of transferring data. Although slower than copying files from
one location to another on a hard drive, this method is at least twenty
times faster than using a null modem to transfer the data at maximum speed
on a TT or Falcon. It works by connecting the two machines using the
parallel (printer) ports. All you need is a bi-directional (this is very
important) male to male parallel lead which must be modified by swapping
over two wires. It is also necessary if using a PC that you set it up for
bi-directional communication, otherwise you will only be able to send from
the PC, not receive on it. Both Atari and PC versions of the software are
included.
ATARI 800 V0.8.9 by Petr Stehlik - Another attempt at an Atari 800 emulator
for the Falcon. This one emulates the 800, 800XL, 130XE and 5200 models of
the Atari 8-bit family. It is a port of an emulator currently running on
Amiga, PC and Unix machines which has been optimised and re-written in 68030
assembler. It is also capable of emulating the Atari 8-bit screen resolution
at full size. Keyboard commands are emulated and there's support for one
joystick. As with every emulator, the biggest problem is getting your old
software ported across. Regrettably the docs give no hints as to how to do
this, though disk images from other emulators may work. It runs at about 20%
of the speed of a real 800XL, but is remarkably stable. VGA Only.
FALCON TOOLS V1.00 by The Removers - Perhaps the only CPX (for use with
Xcontrol on F.4862) you'll ever need, well almost! It lets you specify the
memory configuration of your Falcon (useful if you want to see if a program
runs on a lower spec machine), STE Bus emulation, the CPU speed, blitter
speed and whether the caches and/or blitter are on or off. This effectively
gives you STe emulation in a similar manner to Backward. You can specify how
the sound matrix is set up and record sound samples direct to disk (with
full control over input gain, attenuation, sample rate and so forth. Extra
options are given for configuring Nemesis (if fitted). One of the most
useful CPX modules yet.
MOON GAMES MULTI-CHAMPIONSHIP EDITOR by The U-Foes - Lets you have multiple
championship files with Moon Games (S-F.5975 to 5978 inclusive). Rather than
continually overwriting the old championship file when you save a new one,
it stores all championship files in a separate folder and swaps them in or
out of the Moon Games folder.
NEMESIS CPX by Jay Software - A CPX (for use with Xcontrol) specifically
designed to let you configure the settings needed for using Black Scorpion's
Nemesis accelerator. Lets you select Nemesis frequencies (Hi and Lo) or
classic frequencies (16Mhz or 8 Mhz) and switch on or off the instruction
cache or data cache.
PACIDISK V1.0 by Mr Roast Chicken - When running the Pacifist (F.) or
Nostalgia (F.) Atari emulators on the PC and Mac respectively, you cannot
read ST disks directly. They must first be converted to .ST disk images. So
what happens if you forget to keep a copy of the original disk and later
want to use it on an Atari? This program allows you to restore the .ST file
onto a real Atari disk.
SCREENS PAIN V0.9B by Christian Cartus and Manuel Hermann - Gives you bigger
screen resolution on any type of monitor. It is similar in concept to
Videlity, giving control not only over the physical resolution but also over
the monitor frequency settings and so forth. It even includes a tester mode
and virtual screen manager. Program is in German, but simple to understand.
Be warned, trying to drive your monitor beyond its capabilities can blow it
up!

ANOTHER LOTTERY NUMBER GENERATOR V0.75 by Muscles - Described as a fun way
to pick your lottery numbers. It starts off with a snappy intro then goes to
main menu. On the Falcon, you can alter the volume, treble and bass settings
for the samples. ALNG generates its numbers randomly and you can choose
three methods by which to select them. The first displays a moving ball and
you press any key to stop it rolling and reveal a number, the second
generates random lines of numbers (again generated by pressing any key) and
selects the six most common numbers from all rows, the third method involves
firing at squares to reveal concealed numbers. ALNG adopts the fun approach
rather than a scientific method. It's even more fun as you get stereo
samples throughout.
AUTOSWITCH V2.1 by Dobashi Hiroshi - A boot manager which displays up to 20
Auto folder programs and ACCs in a window. You can switch them on or off by
selecting them with the mouse. Rather basic in features but useful if you
just want to switch on/off the odd item.
BETADOS V2.90 by Ulf Ronald Andersson - A replacement for Atari's CD-ROM
driver for use with multi-tasking systems. It is fully compatible with
MetaDOS but features improvements over it. In addition, the CD-ROM drive may
now be accessed via the U:\ drive like any other device.
BLITMODE by Levien van Zon - Allows you to switch between hardware (using
the blitter) and software (using the VDI) blitting. NVDI switches off
hardware blitting, this program lets you switch it back on!
CYPATCH by Empty Head - Patches v2.1 of Cyber Paint to let it run reliably
on the Falcon. Invaluable to everyone who has upgraded from an ST/STe.
Includes assembler sources.
DRAGFNTE V4 by Thomas Much - A drag and drop font selector for use with
Magic. It lists all fonts currently installed under GDOS/SpeedoGDOS/NVDI and
allows you to choose the point size and attribute for the selected font.
It's then a case of dragging your selection into the open window of your
document. Dragfnte only works with Magic alongside programs which understand
the font protocol or are compatible with the Xacc 2 protocol.
EXPORT by Dominique Bereziat - Converts Unix text to Atari format and vice
versa. Includes C sources.
EXT2.XFS V0.1.1 by Axel Kaiser - An extended file system driver for use with
MiNT. It allows you to read data from hard drive partitions created using
the Linux Ext2 file system. It does not let you write to these partitions,
merely read data from them and/or copy data off them. EXT2 requires an XHDI
hard disk driver (such as HDDriver) and MiNT/Multi-TOS.
CLOCKY V2.31 by Petr Stehlik - Displays a digital clock in the top right of
your screen within the menu bar. It works in all resolutions and is
compatible with some graphics cards too. Other features include the
selection of international keyboard layouts, support for deadkeys, ALT +
ASCII code allows characters not on the keyboard to be entered, mouse
accelerator built-in, screen saver (ST High or Falcon only), invert screen
colours, boot up a Mega STE at 16Mhz and more... A really useful multi-
purpose Auto folder program which uses less than 5K of RAM!

DB360PAT - Patches v3.50 or v3.51 of Oregon Research's hard drive backup
utility, Diamond Back, to v3.60. This program is of no use to you unless you
already own Diamond Back v3.50 or v3.51.
ICONS - Almost 500 custom icons in RSC format. These include icons for most
popular Atari packages as well as Drive and printer icons etc. There's even
some "borrowed" from the PC and Mac. Both standard size icons and miniature
icons are included. They can be used as replacement Desktop icons in the
DESKICON.RSC file or with replacement Desktops such as Thing, Gemini, Ease
etc. In order to use these icons, you will require an icon editor such as
Resource Master (on F.6109).
SYNC II by Levien van Zon - Have you ever come across a demo which runs at
60hz and the screen just won't stop rolling! Typically these originate in
the USA where their TVs/monitors run at 60hz (rather than 50hz as in
Europe). This little patch simply kicks the Falcon's video sub-system into
50hz, so you can run such demos. Only of use to those using TVs and RGB
monitors. Includes assembler source.
VIDSLEEP by Levien van Zon - Do you have one of those modern SVGA monitors
which feature a power saving mode. Theoretically, after a period of
inactivity, the monitor goes into sleep mode (a low energy mode) and "wakes
up" when you press a key. Until now, there was no way Falcon owners could
make use of this feature. Versions for TOS and multi-tasking OSs are
included. VGA only, do not use unless your monitor has power saving
capability.
DESKJET - A number of useful files for Hewlett Packard printer owners. The
only executables are for Atari and PC versions of a utility which converts
an uncompressed PCL file (HP file printed to disk) and compresses it using
HP's compression. The result is files which take up half the disk space and
print much faster. Other HP files on this disk include the C source code to
Ghostscript drivers for the Deskjet models 520, 540, 560C, 500 and 550 as
well as the Paintjet models XL and XL3000. Other documents explain the ESC
codes used in the 500 and 600 series printers, commands specific to colour
printing on the 550C and explains the process known as "shingling" on the
600 series. These HP files are all of most use either to programmers or
those of you who are trying to customise your own printer drivers.

CALLIGRAP.HER - A Deskjet 500 series printer driver for use with
Calligrapher.
GEMTRADE V1.10 by Mark Wherry - Development of the excellent German to
English translation program Ruftrade has ceased. GEMTrade is its successor,
all dressed up in a nice GEM based shell with windowed dialogs, drag & drop,
BubbleGEM, OLGA, and AV protocol support and an editable dictionary. In fact
it even uses the original Ruftrade dictionaries although the translation
routines have been changed. Although its primary aim is to perform automatic
translation of documents from German to English, you can also translate
individual words between the two languages (in both directions). The results
of these can be copied to the GEM clipboard. GEMTrade can also be used as a
module within CAB v2.5 or later. In such cases, any German language pages on
the Web will be automatically translated and displayed in English! There are
limitations in this Shareware release, register to remove them.
MAGICP by Tommy Andersen - Patches the MagiC kernel file to fix problems
which exist when running MagiC on a TT with TOS 3.01/3.06. If your TT has
TOS v3.06, you don't need this patch. It fixes v3.x, 4.x and 5.x of MagiC.
MAGIC CONFIG v1.5 by Christian Ratsch - Lets you alter all user-configurable
settings within the MAGX.INF file of MagiC v5 or v6. These include the
maximum number of windows, environmental variables, system font, shell
buffer size, boot resolution, cookie jar size, timeslice allocation, long
filename support, look and feel of the GUI and lots more.
MAGX CONFIG V1.0 by Dominique Bereziat - Another program which lets you
customise the variables stored within MAGX.CNF. This one is very different
in presentation, but similar in functionality to MagiC Config (also on this
disk). Regrettably both program and docs are in French.
PORTFOLIO PARTNER V1.9 by David Becker - Have you ever tried to enter a long
name and address list on an Atari Portfolio? The small keys make the process
prone to errors. This program lets you enter the data on your ST. Records
can be searched, sorted alphabetically, loaded and saved etc. Portfolio
Partner restricts the format of the data to that which you can utilise on
the Portfolio. You will still need to set up a serial link between your ST
and Portfolio, but this program at least helps take some of the pain out of
typing large files.
HIDEAWAY V1.1.4 by Bruno Essman - Allows you to hide all open windows
belonging to a selected application when running Multi-TOS. This is useful
if you have multiple windows open for several applications as the windows
can tend to clutter up the screen and it can get confusing as to which
application the window belongs. This ACC simply allows you to hide and
unhide all windows belonging to a chosen application.

EPRO 24B - Updates v2.4A of Anondyne Software's ExtenDOS Pro to v2.4B.
Please note, this program is of no use to you unless you already own
ExtenDOS Pro v2.4A. Version 2.1 upwards can also be upgraded by using the
patches on F.5546 and F.5709 as appropriate.
EXCELLENT v1.00b by Dominique Bezeriat - A text file viewer for use with
MagiC. It can be used as an alternative file viewer within MagiC or as a
standalone program. It supports the use of different fonts and point sizes
within your text. Regrettably the docs are entirely in French although the
program itself is in English.
FREEGEM by Kellis - Allows you to monitor free RAM in real time. It displays
both ST RAM and TT Fast RAM (if appropriate) as a percentage of total RAM,
in bytes and as an LED display! FreeGem requires AES 4.0 (Falcon/TT) or a
multi-tasking OS such as Multi-TOS or MagiC.
GEMVELOPE DEMO by Brisk Software - Allows you to print envelopes, fed into
your printer the long way. It uses GDOS (not supplied) but is also
SpeedoGDOS compatible (it doesn't like NVDI). It is also possible to import
text from your word processor and set up custom envelope sizes. Exact
positioning of text is also supported. There are of course limitations in
this demo version. Requires GDOS v1.1 or later.
GENEVA MACRO EDITOR V2.0 DEMO - Allows you to record numerous events and
play them back in a simple operation when using Geneva. This demo is limited
to recording and playing back just 25 actions. The full version is supplied
on the Geneva Utilities Disk available from Gribnif and their distributors.
MAGICSLM by Harald Schoenfeld - Lets you use an Atari SLM804/605 laser
printer to print files from a Falcon, PC or Mac! You need to attach the SLM
to the ST's DMA port (you need an ST to act as your printer server) and
connect the two computers via a null modem cable. Print from the Falcon, PC
or Mac (using an HP driver) to the serial port and MAGICSLM will intercept
the data and print it to the SLM. If your application does not support
printing to the serial port, you will need to print to disk instead.
Although it seems like overkill having to connect up two computers and a
printer, it does let you make use of your Atari laser on machines which do
not have a DMA port. Docs are in German, but there's an excellent article in
Atari Computing #9 explaining how to set it up. Needs an ST (or STE) with at
least 2Mb, running the Diablo emulator (on UTL.364), a null modem cable, a
Atari SLM804/605 laser and an application which supports printing to the
serial port or to disk.
MINTSETT by Kellis - A GEM program which gives information on your MiNT
kernal such as your configuration and user defined settings. The results can
be sent to the Clipboard. Now incorporates all the features of ALERT.ACC, so
it is no longer required and you can set up your system to run MINTSETT when
a BUS error is generated, as a debugging aid. Requires FreeMiNT v1.14.6 or
later.
MAKE ST IMAGE v1.1 by Vezz - Allows you to create a .ST format disk image
from any floppy disk for use with the Pacifist on F.6049 (PC) or Nostalgia
on F.6160 (Mac) Atari emulators. Prior to the release of this program, you
had to create a MSA archive then convert it to .ST format on the PC, now the
whole process can be completed on the Atari. Although this is an Atari
program it is of no use to you unless you are emulating an ST on a PC or Mac
using one of the above emulators.
POWER SAVER by Tommy Andersen - If you have a monitor which supports low
energy power saving features, this CPX (for use with Xcontrol UTL.3879)
automatically powers down your monitor after five minutes. Do not use this
program on monitors which do not support power saving features, otherwise
you may damage your monitor.
SERIAL V1.00 by Peter Rottengatter - A replacement for MODEM.CPX which
recognises the TT and Falcon's serial ports and supports baud rates higher
than 19200 bps.
NEWTON V0.5R by Mikael Folkesson - A calculator in a movable window. It has
been designed specifically for use on a multi-tasking OS, but works fine on
TOS too. When running under Magic, if an xFSL compatible font selector and
NVDI v3 or later is installed, you can change the default font used by
Newton. As well as simple calculations, Newton supports the following
functions; abs, acos, asin, atan, cos, cosh, exp, log, log10, sin, sinh,
sqrt, tan, tanh and heav. One of the prettiest calculators yet!
NO GREEN V0.95 by Mikael Folkesson - Does the green (blue on the Falcon!)
annoy you on bootup? This program replaces it with a grey background. In
fact, you can alter that to any colour (or indeed image) you wish, using a
resource file editor such as Interface or Resource Master. 19200 bps.
OMIKRON PATCH V1.0 by Empty Head -Patches Omikron Basic v3.01 to make it
Falcon compatible.
FASTSHUT by Christian Ratsch - Lets you shut down MagiC from Start Me Up (on
UTL.5760) without having to open its right-click extra menu. Besides, it's
much faster than SMU's method.
SYSSOUND by Manfred Lippert - Installs system sounds for the operating
system's ping and for MagiC's window shading feature. You can replace the
supplied samples with those of your choice.
UNLOCKSS by Levien van Zon - Unlocks the Falcon's sound sub-system. Useful
if an audio program crashes as you would normally be unable to use another
audio program without first rebooting. Just run this program to avoid that
reboot.
XCLOCK by Dominique Bezeriat - A graphical clock for use on multi-tasking
operating systems. It displays the clock in a re-sizeable GEM window and
updates the hands of the clock in real time. You can set the colours of the
hands and background, size and position of the window, window gadgets and so
forth. Docs in French.
ZIP 2.0 - An updated version of the ZIP compression program which is fully
compatible with PK ZIP on the PC. Its main features over ST ZIP include the
ability to split and rejoin archives (useful when a ZIP file will not fit
onto a floppy disk) and repair damaged archives. There are numerous other
enhancements. ZIP 2.0 consists of two TTP files which require precise
parameters. Unless you need the extra features offered by this version,
stick with ST ZIP on F.4351.
