  ****************************************************************************
              PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES, SUPPORT DISKS AND EMULATORS
  ****************************************************************************

  LAN.01  Atari ST Language disk.  Includes the original ST Basic,  Logo,  Neo
  etc.   You must Autoboot the disk if you have an STE,  otherwise logo  won't
  work.

  LAN.02  68000 Assembler, ST Basic demos, Logo demos, Pascal demo, Forth 83 -
  fully working version.

  LAN.04   XLisp v2.1.  The complete implementation of the most commonly  used
  language for utilising "Artificial Intelligence".  Well documented on  disk.

  LAN.05  A shareware C Compiler.  Mark Johnson C v2.3.  This is an  excellent
  disk  for the beginner to C.  It also saves you a lot of  money.  This is  a
  full implementation.  If not familiar with C,   please use with disks C.07 -
  C.09.  Thanks to Terry Billany for  obtaining this updated version from  the
  States.  This disk is dual  format. The programs are all available to single
  sided drive owners  but you can only access the documentation if you have  a
  double sided  drive. NOT TOS 1.4 upwards.

  LAN.06  Little Smalltalk. As documented in articles in PCW December 1987 for
  four issues. Documented on disk, but cannot be fully appreciated without the
  official operator's manual from Smalltalk Exchange in London.  Disk includes
  many demos.

  LAN.07A  &  LAN.07B  Disk A has the CP/M operating  system on it.  This will
  enable you to run CP/M programs written on other micros Disk B has a host of
  CP/M utilities.  CP/M is fully documented on disk.

  LAN.08C   Atari  800  Emulator.  This  disk runs  Basic  and  assembly  code
  programs.  It runs Atari Writer very well and if that is anything to go  by,
  it should be a must for all former Atari 8 bit owners.  A later  version  is
  on LAN.11 but you need 1 Meg of memory to run it. NOT STE.

  LAN.10  68000 Assembler- a well documented one at that.  Disk also  includes
  Text editors and a Disassembler.  This disk is a must for anyone wishing  to
  dabble in assembly language without forking out a fortune.

  LAN.11   An update on LAN.08C.  This version is virtually bug-free  and  now
  supports  player missile graphics.Full 6502 emulation is supported  and  the
  facilities  can  accomodate  basic  operations  for  a  C64  and  Apple   II
  emulation.  Unfortunately  due  to  copyright,  the author  was  unable   to
  incorporate the operating systems of these machines.  Needs 1 Meg of memory.

  LAN.12   ST  Icon Language.  Based on Snobol 4.  It was  developed  by   The
  University  of Arizona in the USA.  It has nothing to do  with   icons,  the
  name,  although  confusing,  it  entirely  co-incidental.  Icon  is  heavily
  documented  on disk and is a complete version of the   language.  Registered
  users will receive updates to the language and  the Icon newsletter.  Single
  sided.

  LAN.13  Sozobon C - Another fully functioning C compiler,  perhaps the best.
  It is  based on the Alcyon C compiler.  Includes over 150K of  documentation
  on disk. Includes DLibs v1.2.

  LAN.14   Forthmacs v1.0.  The latest version of Forth '83 based  around  the
  Micro Emacs text editor. This is a fully functioning  shareware product from
  The States.

  LAN.15   XProlog  v2.0.  A  PD version of Micro Prolog.  This  is  a   fully
  functioning  version of the language.  Over 25k of  documentation plus  some
  example source files included.  This  version is installed to run from Drive
  C.  If  you  don't have a  hard drive you need to  follow  the  installation
  instructions  in   the  documentation.   Assemble  -  a  fully   functioning
  assembler.   Passm - another assembler.  Gemfast - GEM AES and VDI bindings.
  These are improved libraries for use with C compilers as far as I  can  make
  out. Blitter - the manual for the blitter chip. It is  primarily intended as
  a guide to programmers.

  LAN.18  Modula 2 v1.01 from Ana Systems - A fully functioning implementation
  of the language.  You need both disks to use the system.  The language  runs
  from within a GEM based shell which is very user  friendly.  You need a text
  editor to input your code.  Any text editor,  even  1st Word in Non WP  Mode
  would  do.   The  intended  one  was  Micro   Emacs  but  this  would   have
  neccessitated a second disk.  Your own choice of text editor can used in its
  place. Includes compiler, linker and library files.

  LAN.19   Another  Modula  2 compiler.  This one is German  although  it   is
  documented in English as well.  Needs 1 Meg of memory to run.

  LAN.20M   Toy  Prolog v3 - similar to the version on LAN.15 but takes  up  a
  whole disk. Includes source codes and demo files. Full documentation of over
  90k on disk.

  LAN.21  ELAN-1. Elan is an educational programming environment  language for
  learning and teaching systematic programming from the Netherlands. Over 160k
  of documentation on disk.

  LAN.22C   STOS Basic Tutorial by Lozian.  Fully documents every command   of
  STOS Basic. This disk has been designed to compliment the STOS  series being
  run  in  Floppyshop News from February 1990 onwards.  It is   invaluable  to
  anyone  learning  the language.  You need STOS Basic in  order to  use  this
  disk.  This  program  has  been  updated to run on  the   STE  and  now  has
  additional  commands.  Type  MAESTRO or CREDITS at the   command  prompt  to
  access the extra features.

  LAN.25  Adventure Game Toolkit v1.3 - A quality shareware product  from  The
  States.  Write  your own adventure games in a similar style to  the  Infocom
  series.  Is capable of producing excellent text  adventures.  Comes complete
  with full documentation on disk.  Users are  encouraged to register with the
  author.  Full details on disk.  Now includes an easy to use GEM based  shell
  for compiling the games and running the finished versions.

  LAN.26  The full manual for ADA (Programming Language).  This  language  has
  not   yet  been  ported  to  the  ST.   Fifteen  chapters  and    associated
  documentation sets out the full specifications for the  language.  Over 800k
  of documentation.

  LAN.27   ZX81 Emulator.  This is NOT a joke!  Fully emulates the first  home
  computer.  Ironically the emulator itself is many times larger than the ZX81
  ROM  itself.  A  total  of  38 original ZX81 games  are  included  on  disk.
  Instructions  for the emulator and for transferring the files across are  in
  German  but the emulator itself is in English.  You'll have to get  used  to
  keywords again!  Press HELP for a keyboard diagram.  Type LOAD "filename.81"
  to load. LOAD is on the J key and " is on the + key on the ST. LOAD"" brings
  up the Atari file selector! Runs in colour or mono.

  LAN.28 & LAN.29  GNU C v2.42 - Yet another  Shareware C  compiler  from  The
  States.  Full installation instructions (hard drive preferred) are  included
  as is the latest version of the popular command shell Gulaam. GNU C will run
  on  1  Meg  (just!) but is more comfortable in  2  Meg  or  more.  Multi-TOS
  compatible.

  LAN.30   GNU C Debugger.  Designed to complement LAN.28 and  LAN.29.  Source
  level debugger with many different types of breakpoints and data examination
  facilities.  Help can be called up from within the program.  Full manual  is
  included  on  disk.  To use the debugger with GNU C you will need 2  Meg  of
  memory.

  LAN.34, LAN.35, LAN.36, LAN.37, LAN.38 & LAN.39  TeX On The ST.  This  is  a
  typesetting program and comes on six disks. It is recommended that  you  use
  this program  with a  laser printer  although it  will work on  a dot matrix
  printer.  A minimum of 1 Meg memory is needed although you  will be somewhat
  limited.  TeX is very memory hungry so be warned. You must have at least one
  double sided drive  although two is  desirable and a  hard disk is an  added
  bonus. TeX has its own  fully programmable  language which you  will need to
  become familiar  with.  These  programs are very complicated to use but well
  documented.

  LAN.43  ZX81 Support Disk.  Sixty nine ZX81 programs which have been  ported
  across  to  the ST and will run under the ZX81 emulator  on  LAN.27.  Single
  sided.

  LAN.44  GNU Make - a make utility for use with GNU C on LAN.28,  29 and  30.
  This disk is only of use when used with the above set.

  LAN.45  TeX. Another disk associated with the typesetting programs on LAN.34
  to LAN.39.  This disk contains the TeX DVI to Postscript converter (data and
  C  sources  only).  You will need this disk if you intend  outputting  to  a
  Postscript device. It is not needed for those of you who do not require this
  facility.

  LAN.46  Modpas  - A Public Domain Pascal Compiler.   Included  on  disk  are
  various library modules.   There is some documentation on disk.   Some of it
  in English & some in German.

  LAN.48   Kent Recursive Calculator - A porting to the ST of KRC   Real  Time
  Language from Unix.   I don't know much about this other than the fact  that
  it   is  a  programming  language which  is  heavily  mathematically  based.
  Extensive documentation on disk.  Should be familiar to Unix  users.  Single
  sided.

  LAN.49  &  LAN.50  GNU SmalltalK.   An  implementation of Smalltalk  created
  using GNU C on S-LAN.28 & S-LAN.29 (which are also needed).  Apparently this
  version needs 4 Meg of memory!

  LAN.51   FGREP - GNU FGREP V1.1.  A compatible replacement for  Unix  FGREP.
  The  options are the same as those of the GNU VEGREP.   GREP -  EGREP  V1.5.
  Another Unix port.   Both programs should be familiar to Unix users.   Fools
  Lisp - Another implementation of Lisp.

  LAN.52   Whattaheck  Source Code.   The source code to  the  Flexible  Front
  screens  from  the Whattaheck demos.   Assempro Assembler  used  but  should
  easily be converted to Devpac 2.

  LAN.53  Pascal Programming Disk 1.   Contains a number of tutorial files for
  Personal Pascal and Turbo Pascal as well as source code for Turbo Pascal and
  general  source  applicable to both.   A few executable  programs  are  also
  included.

    LAN.54   Mint v1.14.7 - A multi-tasking operating system for the  ST.  Fully
  documented,  source code included.  This is the multi-tasking kernel used in
  Multi-TOS  and can be used as a direct replacement for MINT.PRG if you  have
  an  earlier  version of that package.  It can also be used to  provide  true
  multi-tasking  with  Gribnif's Geneva.  Please note that this  is  Mint  NOT
  Multi-TOS (which is a commercial release).  Unless you have a  multi-tasking
  AES  running,  you  will only be able to multi-task TOS  (rather  than  GEM)
  programs. Needs at least 1 Meg, the more the better.

  LAN.55   MGR - A network transparent window system originally  designed  for
  UNIX.   Fully documented.  Includes full source code. Must be run under Mint
  v0.6 or later (LAN.54). Needs at least 1 Meg.

  versions  included  for Alcyon & Mark Williams compilers.  C source  can  be
  modified  for  others.   Clips  - Expert system  shell  developed  at  NASA.
  Extensive documentation, tutorial and examples.

  LAN.61   Man  -  Toolset for building and using  Unix  style  online  manual
  system.  Lots of info and source.   Requires Unix and programming skills, so
  not for beginners.

  LAN.62  AWK - ST version of Unix report generator.   High level language. No
  docs,  so requires access to Unix documentation.   Anyone with typing skills
  and time can contact Terry Billany.  Seems very close to the original.  Perl
  -  Practical  Extraction  & Report Language.  200k+ of  code  and  200k+  of
  documentation!   Sound  knowledge  of Unix assumed as well as lots  of  RAM.

  LAN.63   Spice - General purpose circuit simulation program  for  non-linear
  dc,  non-linear  transient  and  linear  ac  analysis  (ex  Berkeley).  Well
  documented.   A serious program with no concession to new fangled ideas like
  graphics!

  program.

  LAN.67   Alloc-Fi  - GNU Un*x malloc (not ST).   Examples -  Sample  startup
  scripts for BASH (LAN58).   Gnu_Go - The Chinese game.   PATCHES - Fixes for
  BASH  1.05  (LAN58).   Readline - GNU library for  command  line  interface.
  Would  need  serious rethink for ST.   Document - TeXinfo  for  Emacs  LISP.
  Formdoit  v1.2d - Auto folder program to improve GEM dialogue box  handling,
  from Gribnif of Neodesk fame. Less - Displays text files one page at a time,

  Documentation and some files seem to have gone missing.

  LAN.68  &  LAN.69  Revision Control System - Ported  to  ST by Alan Pratt of
  Atari USA.   Maintains files (usually source code, but could be anything) as
  original  version  plus changes made.   At any time you can go back  to  any
  earlier version.   Essential tool for serious programmer.   Full docs and  C
  source.

  LAN.74  FCC Menus - HiSoft Basic source for all the menus on the FCC  crew's
  highly illegal serious software disks. 1.2MB of clever Basic programming and
  a mine of ideas archived onto one disk. Please note that none of the illegal

  why you shouldn't write that C++ compiler you always wanted!

  LAN.85  ZOO v2.1 - The complete C source for version 2.1 (on UTL.385) of the
  Zoo archive/unarchive utility.  Around 90 files of manuals,  makefiles,  and
  source for ST, Amiga, PC, DEC VMS and most UN*X variants.

  LAN.86   MODULA-2  PROGRAMMERS' DISK v1.2 - Mostly general  but  some  stuff

  routines for C programmers) to the ST.  MCPFIX - A fix for the DLIBS  memcpy
  library  routine  (as  used in Sozobon C).  NASM -  A  cross  assembler  for
  developing  6502  code on the ST.  Primarily intended for  the  Atari  8-bit
  range,  but should be usable for Apple II, C64 and maybe even Beeb. Binaries
  only, some docs but no source.

  LAN.3252   FLOWCHART COMPILER - Describe your program in high  level  pseudo
  code  (FDL - flowchart description language) and the compiler will print  it
  as  a flowchart.  GEM interface,  examples and comprehensive docs.  FORST  -
  Forth language.  Limited documentation (i.e.  no tutorial for beginners) but
  with complete assembler source for Devpac. FPU - A set of patches for TurboC
  to support the TT's floating point processor.  Programs compiled with  these
  routines will run on a standard ST,  but use the fpu when run on a  TT,  the
  best of both worlds.  POPUP - A demo and Lattice C library for a fashionable
  'popup' menu system like the Archie etc,  slide off the side of the menu for
  more options and so on,  ad infinitum (or nearly).  Can display help message
  as each option is passed over.  Register for 15 quid and you get the source.

  LAN.3253   F2C  - FORTRAN TO C CONVERTER - The Atari version  of  a  utility
  developed by AT&T Bell Labs and Bellcore (serious computer research people -
  IQ of 180 required to be a teaboy!). Comes with libraries for the ST and TT,
  but  assumes you know your way around Fortran and have the Gnu  C  compiler.
  Requires  a  hard disk and 2MB RAM minimum,  so not for the  casual  hacker.

  LAN.3282   THE SUPERVISORS PROGRAMMING DISK - Source code from  Poland.  You
  will  need  Devpac 2.  Full source code to the Gigascroll demo  which  first
  appeared in Mindbomb, source to Dogodrum music and chip music. Formerly part
  of the BUDGIE UK range.

  LAN.3431C   STOS  STARTER PACK 1 by Ralph Effemey - A Shareware  disk  which
  contains 3 skeleton STOS Basic games for you to extend,  modify or complete.
  This  disk  includes ARMOURGEDDON,  45 CALIBRE and PONTOON.  All  games  are

  need STOS Basic in order to use this disk. Highly recommended.

  LAN.3432C   STOS  STARTER PACK 2 by Ralph Effemey - Another  Shareware  disk
  with 3 skeleton STOS Basic games for you to extend, modify or complete. This
  disk includes F5,  FUN and MOWER. All games are incomplete and intended as a
  study guide to STOS programmers.  Obviously you need STOS Basic in order  to
  use this disk. Highly recommended.

  LAN.3433C  &  LAN.3434C  STOS  STARTER  PACK 3 by Ralph Effemey - Even  more
  STOS source to play around with.  SUBMARINE - Take command of a submarine in
  this warfare simulation. LUNAR PENAL COLONY 7 - A strategic adventure set in
  Outer Space. ROBOACTIVE - Command a star fleet and save the Earth. As usual,
  all games are incomplete and intended as a study guide to STOS  programmers.
  Obviously you need STOS Basic in order to use this disk. Highly recommended.

  LAN.3435,  LAN.3436 &  LAN.3437  SB-PROLOG v3.1 from University of Arizona -
  A full Prolog language and compiler ported from Unix.  It performs at  about
  5100 LIPS (logical inferences per second) on the ST and  needs  at least 1MB
  of RAM, preferably more. Includes source and a user guide (in nroff format),
  but  a beginner would need more info.

  LAN.3541   CORKSCREW  -  Assembler  source  for  the  Fingerbobs'  Corkscrew
  Scroller  v2.0.  Downright amazing!  EMULAMST - Amstrad CPC464 emulator  (it
  claims). Doesn't seem very comprehensive to me, and I've never used one! May
  be  a  joke,  maybe not.  GFASPEC - A routine to show  SPECTRUM  512  (.SPU)
  pictures from GFA Basic. LOSTBOYS TWIST - A full description (with assembler
  source)  on  how  the  amazing 'twist' scroll in  the  Definitive  Demo  was
  created.  MISTY by ACO and Whee The Fibble - An extension for use with  STOS
  Basic. Some handy extra commands plus screen handling routines rewritten for
  greater speed.  Highly recommended for all STOS programmers.  As used in The
  Misty STOS Demo on DEM.3474C. NIFTY - A handy acccessory for use from within
  STOS Basic.  You can delete/rename files,  format a disk,  set function  key
  strings & keyboard repeat,  display scancodes and translate hex to decimal &
  vice-versa.  STOS ONLINE MANUAL v1.2 - Very pretty and useful too!  Gives  a
  mouse  driven description and demo of each command/function  available  from
  STOS Basic.  STOS_FIX - A replacement STOS loader which allows STOS Basic to
  run  with  any ST,  STE,  TT OR Falcon!  This won't make your  run  only  or
  compiled programs run, it just allows STOS itself to be used and programs to
  be  run from within the interpreter.  STOS_STE - Extensions for  STOS  Basic
  which allow you to use some of the extra features of the STE. You can access
  multiple joysticks,  hardware scrolling, the extended palette, light gun and
  DAC  sample replay.  TR - A port of the Un*x character translation  utility.
  Binary and C source versions included, with manual page.

  LAN.3542   GRAPHICS  LIBRARY  for Lattice C v5.06 & Sozobon C  -  An  almost
  complete implementation of Turbo C graphics library which is 100% compatible
  as far as possible.  Includes all the most useful functions eg; arc, circle,
  ellipse,  bar,  polygon,  fill,  line, with pattern and colour control. Full
  documentation  and demos included.  PORTABLE PROLOG v2.1 - This  interpreter
  understands  just about all of Clocksin & Mellish.  It comes  complete  with
  examples  and  built-in Microemacs editor.  The editor  is  well-documented!
  TEMPCALL  - Invokes TEMPUS as an editor from the ST Pascal shell,  I  think!
  German code and I don't have either to test.

  LAN.3543   GNU  UTILITIES  v3.1 - MinT (LAN.54) versions  of  standard  Un*x
  utilities - CHGRP,  CHMOD,  CHOWN,  CP,  DD,  DF, DU, LN, LS, MKDIR, MV, RM,
  RMDIR  and  TOUCH.  These  will  also run under  TOS.  MINIXFS  v0.55  -  An
  installable  file system for MinT 0.9x.  It replaces the TOS file  structure
  with one more like Un*x.  Complete with C source and docs.  TOSWIN v1.4 - An
  accessory  to  run TOS program(s) in windows alongside GEM programs  or  the
  Desktop. Needs MinT multi-tasking operating system, obviously.

  LAN.3544   STOS  PACK 1 by A C Porritt - About 60 programs  in  STOS  Basic,
  everything from short useful routines to complete games. A mine of ideas and
  information.

  LAN.3545  GFA EXPERT v2 - This disk is packed with interesting files for the
  GFA Basic v3 user. Many sample programs are included as well as 'Your Second
  GFA  Basic  Manual',  a  220K (122 page) document  covering  everything  the
  standard GFA manual doesn't!  Everything you'll ever need to know about  GFA
  Basic. Highly recommended.

  LAN.3612  ATARI ST MACHINE SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING IN ASSEMBLY by Robert Arp  -
  This  is a massive programming guide to the Atari ST.  The disk includes  11
  chapter   comprising  of  1.2  Megabytes  of  invaluable   information,   57
  accompanying diagrams in both IMG and Postscript formats,  and 41 executable
  files  referred  to  in the text.  It is assumed that you will  put  it  all
  together  in 1st Word Plus or a DTP package and print it out.  This book  is
  not  a beginners' guide to assembly programming.  It assumes the user to  be
  familiar  with assembler and aims to cover the points missed by the  various
  publications  currently available,  whilst referring to them  as  additional
  reading.  The files are supplied in the form of self extracting archives and
  require  about  12 Megabytes of hard disk space when  decompressed.  If  you
  don't need the Postscript files,  you will require less than 3 Megabytes  of
  hard disk space. All this comes on one double sided disk! If you require the
  sources to the program files, they are on LAN.3613.

  LAN.3613   ARP SOURCE - The assembler source for the  programs  accompanying
  Robert Arp's reference guide to the ST on LAN.3612.  GNU ZIP V1.2.4 for  TOS
  and V1.0.7 for Minix - This is a port of GNU ZIP from Unix.  It is  designed
  as a freeware replacement to Compress on Unix systems.  It uses the  Lempel-
  Ziv 1977 compression method and is compatible with PKZIP v1.9 on the PC.  It
  can also extract .Z files and GNU TAR files.  ULTIMATE GFA DATABASE v1.5  by
  Neil  Warwick  - An invaluable reference aid to all articles  on  GFA  Basic
  programming published in ST News,  Ledgers, Maggie, STEN, GBUG, DBA Mag, ADM
  Mag,  HP Source,  Amazine,  ST Format and GFA User.  It does not contain any
  articles  or source code,  merely a precise reference to where you can  find
  the  information  you require.  You can even listen to one of 18  pieces  of
  music as you read!

  LAN.3728  STOS BITS & PIECES by Robert Annett - A collection of STOS  source
  code  and articles on STOS,  much of which was published by the now  defunct
  STupendous  disk  mag.  There's  also an incomplete  game  which  was  being
  developed by the author. One level is present and you can obviously add more
  yourself.  A  digidrum demo with source code and some  miscellaneous  source
  code with accompanying docs are also included. A worthwhile addition to your
  collection if you are a STOS coder. There's also a few snippets of assembler
  source for the more enlightened!  MOUSECOL by Tony Greenwood - A little STOS
  accessory  which  lets you load up a Degas or NEO picture and find  out  the
  mouse  coordinates and colour values in it.  It also offers to grab  from  a
  program bank but I can't get this bit working!

  LAN.3845   GOFER  v2.20  - A programming language based  on  the  functional
  programming language Haskell and written by the author as part of his search
  into  'qualified types'.  Although based on Haskell,  it is only  a  partial
  implementation  of that language,  having many new experimental features  of
  its own.  It is almost entirely mathematically based and comes complete with
  a 221 page manual on disk,  an editor and a few example programs.  Gofer  is
  best run from a CLI.

  LAN.3846  GNU TEXT FILE PROCESSING UTILITIES V1.5 - A collection of programs
  ported from Unix as part of the GNU project.  The programs are  CAT,  CKSUM,
  COM,  CSPLIT, CUT, EXPAND, FOLD, HEAD, JOIN, NL, OD. PASTE, PR, SORT, SPLIT,
  SUM, TAC, TAIL, TR, UNEXPAND, UNIQ, WC. These programs will be second nature
  to Unix users but will be somewhat cryptic to the rest of us.  They are best
  run from a CLI and come the some documentation.

  LAN.3847  CRYSTAL V0.46 - A highly portable GEM library for use with GEM and
  Modula 2 systems. It is set up to be run using the MUPFEL CLI from Gemini on
  UTL.400,  although the scripts could be adapted for other CLIs.  Differences
  between machines are taken care of by use of the GNU C  Preprocessor,  which
  is also supplied. Includes full C source.

  LAN.3848   ERORBASE V1.0 by Martin Wright - A STOS accessory which makes  it
  easier to understand errors in STOS programs.  It is essentially a  database
  of all the STOS error numbers and their meanings.  Much faster than  looking
  up the manual!  GNU DEBUG V3.5 - This version of the GNU debugger ONLY works
  with  MINT (or Multi-TOS).  It now supports GNU C++ as well as the  standard
  GNU  C.  GNU  SUPER  OPTIMISER V2.2 - A function  sequence  generator  which
  employs  a  generate  and test approach to  find  the  shortest  instruction
  sequence  for a given function.  Most suitable for use on shortish  routines
  since it is very time intensive.  XAES V0.3 by Ken Hollis - A C programmer's
  library which adds various extensions to the AES.  It allows up to 8 windows
  open  on  the Desktop,  pop-up windows with ultra fast  selection  routines,
  custom  editing  routine,  custom form_button and  form_keybd  replacements,
  extended  object types and sensing routines,  use of macros and  much  more.
  Fully  Multi-TOS  compatible.  Supplied  as C source for  use  in  your  own
  programs.

  LAN.3849  M2POSIX - An implementation of POSIX's system calls for Modula  2.
  If your Modula 2 compiler is anything other than Megamax or TDI, you'll need
  the GNU C Preprocessor (on LAN.3847) to translate the sources.  M2POSIX only
  runs  under  MINT (Multi-TOS).  Sources and example programs  are  included.
  Unfortunately  the  sparse documentation is in German.  MIT2MOT  -  Converts
  68000  assembler  source  files from MIT syntax (as used by  GCC's  GAS)  to
  standard Motorola syntax for use with Heat & Serve C (on LAN.3248) and other
  C compilers.  OLS - A linear regression tool ported from Unix.  It does many
  of the things a normal statistics package does by way of linear regressions.
  Full docs on disk. Multi-TOS compatible.

  LAN.3896   GNU  PLOT V3.0 - An interactive function plotting  program  which
  plots mathematical functions.  It can plot any type of 2D or 3D structure to
  screen or printer.  This is the ST version of GNU PLOT from the PC and Unix.
  It  is command line driven and uses a command structure similar to  C.  This
  version  is a major upgrade over the one on LAN.66 and comes  complete  with
  about  90k of docs in TEX format and on-line help for  every  command.  This
  program is ideally suited to University and College students. Needs 1 Meg.

  LAN.3897   BASHMINT  V1.12  - A special version of the  Bourne  Again  Shell
  (BASH) on UTL.388,  which will only run on a TT or Falcon running Multi-TOS,
  with  a  68882 maths co-processor fitted.  BASH is a CLI ported  from  Unix.
  Requires  at least 2 Meg.  MG UTILITIES V3.6 - A Collection of 11  utilities
  ported  from Unix.  Unfortunately there are no docs but if  you're  familiar
  with Unix, you won't need them anyway. The programs are CNM, FIXSTK, GCC_AR,
  GCC_LD,  GCC_NM,  GCC_SIZE,  PRINTSTK,  SIZE68,  SYM_LD, TOGLCLR, XSTRIP. MG
  Utilities require Multi-TOS (MINT).  RADILO - The C souce code for a program
  which copies specified files to a ramdisk on boot up. RAMXFS - A re-sizeable
  ramdisk filing system (i.e.  it grows or shrinks to the size needed as files
  are added or deleted) for use with Multi-TOS (MINT).  Unfortunately  there's
  no program,  only the C source is given.  EXEC REG - Patched C source  which
  makes  A4  and  A5 point to the bss and  data  section  bases  respectively.
  Incorporating   this   code  into  your  programs  will  lead   to   greater
  compatibility  with MINT.  MINTMACS - Assembler source for incorporating  an
  extensive list of pre-defined macros into your programs,  for use under MINT
  compatible programs. TSH V1.1 - A graphic shell for running the TEX document
  processing  and  typesetting  system on LAN.34-39.  This  version  is  fully
  compatible with TexSYS ST-TEX.  It makes this beast of a system much  easier
  to  use,  eliminating  the  dreaded  CLI  interface.  Written  by  a  German
  Professor,  this version has been translated into English.  Needs at least 1
  Meg, preferably more.

  LAN.3898   ASSEMBLER 2000 by Chris Skellern - An excellent  Shareware  68000
  assembler from the author of Family Roots.  It includes a number of  example
  programs  and  a complete game for you to compile.  Registered users  get  a
  printed manual,  printed tutorial and the latest update of the program.  CPP
  V1.0.1  -  A stand alone C pre-processor intended for use with  C  compilers
  such  as Heat & Serve C (on LAN.3248),  which do not provide access to  pre-
  processor  output.  It is ANSI C  compatible,  supporting  trigraphs,  token
  pasting  and stingizing.  FLTPACK V1.1 by Trevor Blight - A  high  precision
  floating point library for use within your own Modula 2 programs.  You  need
  to  be familiar with Modula 2 programming in order to use  these  libraries.
  Source code is included. LATEX GRIND V1.2 - A minor adaptation of TGRIND for
  plain  TeX,  modified for use with LaTeX.  Its purpose is to  produce  LaTeX
  documents from program listings. C source only, no executables.

  LAN.3899   BISON  V1.2 - An adaptation of the Unix tool  YACC  (Yet  Another
  Compiler Compiler) on LAN.78,  which has been adapted for use with MINT.  It
  should be noted that this version ONLY works with MINT (or Multi-TOS).  PERL
  V4.035  -  The  latest  adaptation of  the  Practical  Extraction  &  Report
  Language, ported from Unix. It comes with no documentation and needs lots of
  memory.  Both  TOS  and  MINT (Multi-TOS) versions of  the  executables  are
  included.  A  sound  knowledge  of Unix is required to  make  use  of  these
  programs. Requires at least 1 Meg for the TOS version and at least 2 Meg for
  the MINT version.

  LAN.3900  &  LAN.3901  GNU TEXINFO v3.1 - A  document  system  which  allows
  you  to  produce both on-line information and printed output from  a  single
  source  file.  This  allows you to create a manual complete  with  chapters,
  cross referencing, indexing etc, and an on-line menu driven manual which can
  be accessed from within your own programs.  To use TexInfo,  you require the
  TeX  document  processing  and typsetting system on  S-LAN.34  to  S-LAN.39.
  Requires  MINT  or Multi-TOS.  You'll probably need 4 Meg,  to  use  TeXInfo
  properly. TeXInfo itself is on the first disk, with over 740K of docs on the
  second!

  LAN.3902   THE C ADVENTURE TOOLKIT - A text adventure creator system  for  C
  programmers.  It  performs  all the 'dirty work' of  writing  the  adventure
  system,  whilst  allowing  the user maximum control over everything  in  the
  game.  There are no limiting factors such as the number of  rooms,  objects,
  players,  verbs and such,  as with most adventure creators. However, a sound
  knowledge of the C language is required to make use of the  disk.  Obviously
  you need a good C compiler as well. Both the ST and PC versions are supplied
  on the same disk.

  LAN.3903  DUMPAOUT v1.0 by Ian Lepore - Dumps out information about a GNU  C
  A.OUT  object  module.   Includes  C  source.   GNU  TAR  V1.11.1  -  An  ST
  implementation  of  TAR,  the standard tape archiver utility  used  on  Unix
  systems.  This  version only runs under MINT or Minix.  MDIS -  Disassembles
  executable  files  created  for  the  M6800,   M6801/3,  M6809  and  M68HC11
  microprocessors.  Executables only,  the C sources seem to be missing.  MINT
  compatible.  MAKE  INDEX  V2.12 - Creates an index from a  document  created
  using LaTEX.  ST CRON V1.0 - The ST implementation of Cron and Crontab  from
  Unix systems. It runs as a background task under MINT and monitors processes
  running.  It  can  be  used for a number of purposes,  such  as  starting  a
  specified application at a specified time,  shutting down applications which
  have completed their task, and so on. Includes C source. STOS - A collection
  of useful bits and pieces for STOS programmers.  STARS - Basic and  compiler
  extensions  which let you use parallax starfields within your own  programs.
  You also have a few new commands to manipulate the starfield with.  SPC 18 -
  An  extension which allows you to load and display compressed  Spectrum  512
  pictures  within  your  own STOS Basic programs.  Two SPC  pictures  and  an
  example  program are also included.  DIA SHOW - Displays Degas PI1  pictures
  using a number of different effects. DREHUNG - Flips a graphic screen upside
  down and back upright in a fraction of a second. SCHMEIR - Bounces a graphic
  around the screen while playing an AMOS soundtracker MOD file.  You'll  need
  the STOS Tracker extension on MUS.165C to use this program.

  LAN.3904  MU EDIT V2 - A complete implementation of the Mutt Editor,  ported
  from  Unix  systems.  Mutt is a text editor which is very similar  to  Micro
  Emacs.  It  has  its  own  built-in command language  which  allows  you  to
  customise the program for your own requirements.  It also has its own built-
  in  compiler  which  allows  you  to  compile  the  code  you  write.  Fully
  documented.  GNU STREAM EDITOR V1.17 - A port of GNU SED from Unix  systems.
  It  runs  under MINT but only works with programs which run it  in  a  pipe.
  Since there's no docs with this one,  it's really only of use if you have  a
  sound knowledge of Unix systems.

  LAN.4175  ST OBERON V1.0 - An ST implementation of the OP2 Oberon  compiler.
  This  implementation  is in an early stage of development and  none  of  the
  features  of  Oberon 2 as implemented yet.  Unfortunately the  docs  are  in
  German.  POWER BASIC SOURCE by Peter Benson - A collection of eight complete
  programs  written in Power Basic.  Both PRG and source  are  supplied.  Each
  program has been written to demonstrate particular features of the language.
  Also included is a collection of 13 functions which can be used in your  own
  programs.

  LAN.4280   MODM0DEV  by Thierry Bousch - Serial device driver  for  "modem1"
  port  under  MiNT.  Installs  a UN*X-like daemon for  separate  virtual  I/O
  devices working through the ST's single serial port.  Also enhanced  stty(1)
  utility.  Full docs and C source code.  PRETTY GOOD PRIVACY v2.61 by  Philip
  Zimmerman - An RSA public-key utility originally designed for  MS-DOS,  UN*X
  and VAX/VMS systems. It protects EMail and data files with sophisticated two
  key encryption algorithms and ID verification. Full documentation and online
  help.  Also Spanish and French language support,  and information on how  to
  set  it  up  for  other languages.  Support  (mainly  through  Internet)  is
  worldwide.

  LAN.4281   MFSDEFRAG  by Stephen C Tweedie - Linux  Hard  Disk  Defragmenter
  ported  from  the PC.  Full C source code and  documentation  (with  copious
  warnings and denials of all responsibility for any little accidents!). Ideal
  for tidying up the data on your hard drive,  not to mention speeding it  up.
  LFED  v2 - A Line-F emulator for ST's with a maths  coprocessor  fitted.  It
  makes  applications aware of the existence of the FPU.  This leads  to  much
  faster execution of programs which can use it. Source code included in C and
  assembler. GNU ZIP V1.0.7T - Another implementation of the Zip archiver from
  the  PC.  This  version  has been specially optimised for  use  on  a  68020
  processor  or better and cannot be used on an 'ordinary'  ST.  Two  versions
  supplied,  one  for  TOS,  the other for MinixFS.  CHIPMUNK BASIC V1.0  -  A
  version  of the Basic language ported from Unix,  which runs as a CPX  under
  XControl.  There are versions for the 68000,  68000 + FPU, 68030 and 68030 +
  FPU. All commands are documented in English but the doc file for the program
  itself is in German!

  LAN.4409  CD_ROM.M - C source which (when compiled) allows users to list and
  download  files from any disc in an Atari CDAR504 CD-ROM drive connected  to
  your BBS. ERROR.ACB by James Marson - A handy STOS accessory which lists the
  meanings of all STOS error codes. Just call it up from within the STOS Basic
  interpreter and type in the error number for a description. Much faster than
  looking up the manual!  MNTSCALC v6.21 - A port from Unix of the spreadsheet
  calculator (SC) which runs under Mint/MultiTOS. It completely text based and
  does not use GEM.  However, it does have a number of powerful features. Well
  documented but not what you'd call user-friendly (unless you are a Unix user
  of course). PEACEBUG v1.19 by Emanuel Möcklin - A powerful symbolic debugger
  and disassembler which runs in any resolution on the ST/E,  TT or Falcon. In
  addition to 680xx op codes,  it also supports all FPU op codes.  One of  the
  unique features of this program is its ability to debug a program running on
  a remote Atari when two machines are connected via the Midi ports. Multi-TOS
  compatible.  It  can be run as a TSR or run from the Desktop.  Although  the
  program  and much of the docs are in English,  the main manual is  still  in
  German. Highly recommended.

  LAN.4430  UNZIP V5.1 - This is a port of Info-ZIP's UNZIP utility from Unix.
  Although it is fairly compatible with ZIP files created with PKZIP on the PC
  and  STZip  on  the  ST,  it is primarily intended as  a  general  tool  for
  decompressing ZIP files across different platforms such as Unix,  VMS, OS/2,
  Windows,  AmigaDOS etc.  Two versions are included,  one for the 68000 based
  ST,  the other for the TT, Falcon and 68020 (or better) accelerated STs. RSC
  DEMO - Example code aimed at the novice using RSC files with GFA Basic.  You
  will   require  GFA  Basic  v3.07  or  later  and  Digital  Research's   RSC
  Construction  Kit in order to make use of these examples.  TIMECODE V1.0  by
  Leo de Wit - Used to calculate the time (expressed in clock ticks) it  takes
  to perform any specified 68000 instruction or set of instructions (up to  32
  at any one time). UNCLE ALERT V1.03 by Carl Hafner - A nice friendly utility
  which lets you create alert boxes with the minimum of fuss.  Click onto  the
  required alert symbol,  type in your text and press the TEST button to  view
  the result!  When you are happy with your creation,  it may be saved out  in
  LST format for incorporation into your own GFA Basic programs.  A number  of
  example  alerts are included on disk.  UNCLE MOUSE V2.08b by Carl  Hafner  -
  Primarily a mouse pointer editor.  When you are happy with the  results,  it
  can  be  output  in  CUR or DAT formats for  programs  which  support  mouse
  pointers in these formats or LST format for incorporation into your own  GFA
  Basic  program.  Also  included is a program which loads and  displays  your
  mouse pointers. Lots of example mouse pointers are included on disk.

  LAN.4431  &  LAN.4432  CRYSTAL V1.58 by  Ulrich Kaiser -  A highly  portable
  GEM  library  for use with GEM and Modula 2 systems  running  under  PC-DOS,
  GEMDOS,  FlexOS and UNIX.  The differences between machines is taken care of
  by the GNU C preprocessor which is included with the package.  It is set  up
  to be run using the MUPFEL CLI from Gemini on UTL.400,  although the scripts
  could  be adapted for other CLIs.  This is a major update of the package  on
  LAN.3847.  Some  of the latest improvements include support for  SpeedoGDOS,
  implementation of NVDI's off screen feature,  support for  Multi-TOS,  MagiC
  v3.0,  WinX,  AES >4.0, 3D look on AES >= 4.0, iconification and lots of bug
  fixes.  Please note that this distribution is for Atari computers only.  The
  PC sources and executables are NOT included. Includes full C source. Needs a
  hard drive.

  LAN.4577  &  LAN.4578  THE  GRAPHIC LIBRARY  FOR  C BEGINNERS (GLCB)   -  An
  extensive library of modules for use within your own C programs.  It  allows
  you to handle graphics, sprites, mouse events, keyboard events, file access,
  real time clock usage,  double buffered animations, digitised sounds, memory
  management,  random  functions and use of an internal font.  The module  has
  currently been tested on PC, Mac, Amiga and Unix machines as well as TOS, so
  your  code will remain portable through use of this  library.  Includes  the
  full  sources to eight games and several utilities which were created  using
  the supplied library functions.  The modules supplied are in C and assembler
  and  include the relevant files not just for the ST and Falcon but  for  all
  supported machines.

  LAN.4579   ADA TUTORIAL - This is a tutorial package designed to help  teach
  you  how to program in the ADA language.  ADA is a lesser known  programming
  language  but  is in use by the US Defense Department  for  mission-critical
  systems.  ADA code is supposedly prone to fewer errors,  easier to read  and
  easier to modify, when compaing it to other programming languages. This disk
  contains  and  interactive  ADA tutorial  course  complete  with  'homework'
  assignments.  An  ADA compiler is not required in order to make use  of  the
  tutorial.

  LAN.4603  &  LAN.4604  GNU C V1.4  - This is yet  another variation  of  the
  GNU  C  compiler.  However,  this  set is distinctly  different  from  other
  versions  in that it does NOT require a hard drive in order to  run.  It  is
  fully functional and has been shoe-horned to fit into a 2.5 Meg ST by Trevor
  Blight.  Now  those of you who do not own a hard drive can try out  what  is
  arguably  one of the best versions of C around.  Please note that  you  MUST
  have  at LEAST 2.5 Meg of memory in order to use this disk.

  LAN.4608  OASES (formerly OMEn) 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 ST 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.  Please  note that everything is in OASES format so  you  will
  require  OASES on UTL.4607 in order to make use of this disk.  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.

  LAN.4648   THE  INDEPENDENT  JPEG  GROUP'S JPEG SOFTWARE  V5  -  The  latest
  revision of the top compression method for storing True Colour pictures.  It
  is supplied as a ZIP file and requires ST Zip on UTL.3093 to decompress. The
  entire package includes C source code,  executables and documentation on the
  JPEG file format. The archive decompresses to over 1200K in total but may be
  split  between  two  floppies if need be.  You are permitted  to  use  these
  sources within your own commercial programs.  MINT V1.14.7 - The complete  C
  sources  to  MINT  v1.142 as used in Multi-TOS.  These  sources  are  freely
  distributable  but there are a number of restrictions on the  redistribution
  of executables derived from them. The MINT sources run to over 900k, so they
  too have been compressed using ST Zip.

  LAN.4799  &  LAN.4800  EASY GEM LIBRARY V1.22 by  Christophe Boyanique  -  A
  collection  of  Pure C sources and library routines for adding a  slick  new
  futuristic looking 3D interface to your own GEM program.  It supports pop-up
  menus,  iconification of windows and everything else you would expect to see
  in a modern interface. Easy GEM was used in the production of BITMAP VIEW 3,
  POVSHELL 2 and other recent releases by Racème Production and now they  have
  released  the  complete sources under the GNU Public Licence.  Easy  GEM  is
  fully  compatible with Multi-TOS and other multi-tasking operating  systems.
  It  is  also fully compatible with SpeedoGDOS and all  its  predecessors.  A
  small  demo of a typical application is included.  It allows you to load  up
  the  Help  files  which form the documentation for  the  library.  The  Help
  feature works on a hypertext type basis and is another feature which can  be
  incorporated  into  your own code.  The demo (including the Help  files)  is
  bilingual and can be set to English or French.

  LAN.4801   WINLIB PRO v0.59 by Ken Hollis - A collection of Pure  C  sources
  for  jazzing  up  program  interfaces in much the same  vein  as  Easy  GEM.
  However, WinLib Pro is not nearly as far developed as Easy GEM. Its features
  include  a  3D interface (various  implementations  are  supported),  pop-up
  menus,  drop  down menus,  menus within  windows,  Multi-TOS  compatibility,
  improved text display,  keyboard shortcuts and hypertext style on-line Help.
  A  demo  is  supplied  so that you can try out  some  of  the  routines  for
  yourself.  The demo has its own built-in replacement Desktop from which  you
  can  open,  close and iconify windows.  WinLib Pro is at an early  stage  of
  development and is a little unstable at the moment.

  LAN.4828   CONTROL  EXTENSION  v3.5A by Les Greenhalgh -  A  Shareware  STOS
  extension which adds 55 new commands to STOS Basic. Perhaps the main feature
  of this extension is a replacement sprite engine for STOS which works on the
  large hardware scrollable screens of the STE.  There are also commands which
  support  the 'extra' joystick ports on the STE,  allowing you to write  four
  player games for the STE and use the Jaguar joypad. Other commands allow you
  to add a switch construct to STOS,  get around the strings bug and define up
  to  65536 zones!  If that's not enough,  you can remove the screen  borders,
  control  the parallel port and much more.  Full STOS source and a number  of
  graphic font files are also included on disk.  No STOS programmer should  be
  without this disk. Please note that some of the commands are STE specific.

  LAN.4839   DESERT  DRAIN v1.52 - A powerful 680xx disassembler.  It  is  GEM
  based  and has a host of features and is well documented.  Regrettably  both
  program  and  docs  are  in  French.  Well  worth  translating  is  anyone's
  interested. C_SOURCE by Lee Wheeler - A collection of small routines written
  in Lattice C which can be used in your own programs. They range from reading
  joystick and mouse inputs to converting decimal to hex,  peeking and  poking
  around and using IBM graphics style commands on your Atari. PGP SHELL V0.5 -
  A  nice easy to use GEM based front end for Pretty Good Privacy  (as  secure
  password protection system) on LAN.4280. FLIP V0.3 - C source code for a FLI
  and  FLC  animation player.  This version now handles FLC  files  which  are
  larger than 320x200.  Unfortunately there's no executables.  C SCAPE v1.1 by
  Pete  Bailey - An integrated front end for Sozobon C (LAN.13).  Rather  than
  have  to  use Sozobon C from a CLI,  C-Scape gives you a nice  easy  to  use
  working environment and allows your compiler and editor to be called up with
  a simple key press.  The package also includes a text editor called Opal.  A
  useful  feature of C-Scape is its ability to switch between low  and  medium
  resolutions  so that you can write the code for a low res program whilst  in
  medium res but don't have to reboot to test out your code.

  LAN.4928   BUDGIE UK PROGRAMMER'S 68000 LIBRARY v47 - The entire  collection
  of  machine code routines developed by Budgie UK over the past three  years.
  It  is necessary to have a suitable assembler such as Devpac or Devpac 2  in
  order to use these routines.  This disk should not be dismissed by non-games
  writers  as  many  of  the routines can be  used  equally  well  in  serious
  applications. This disk was previously part of the BUDGIE UK range.

  LAN.4929C  MOVING BYTES NO 1 - A collection of some of the best    utilities
  written by various members of the Budgie team.   ACC_SEL -  An accessory and
  autoboot  program  selector.  STARTGEM - A PD program which auto  loads  GEM
  programs on TOS versions below 1.4. If you have a later version of TOS (such
  as an STE) remove this program from the Auto folder.  BOOTER - A  collection
  of programs that allow programs to boot from the boot sector,  picture files
  to load from the boot sector,  your own message or readme to be booted  etc.
  CHAINER - loads up one program,  waits for a key, loads the next and   so on
  until  all  parts  are loaded.   DELTA - Create  your  own  fancy    program
  loaders.   MULTI  FORMAT  -  a good formatter which  can  create    extended
  formats.   GUARDIAN - Budgie's own virus protector.  HAPPY FACE - Displays a
  happy face symbol if your disk is virus free.  MUSIC - A collection of tunes
  by  Gary Wheaton and The Shapeshifters.  RASTERS - All those screen  effects
  from  the  great  demos.  SCROLL - Make up your  own  scrolling  demo!  Most
  programs on the disk have full source code included which can be adapted for
  your own use using Devpac or Devpac 2.  There is a naked lady in the rasters
  program.  Do not buy this disk if you are likely to be offended.  This  disk
  was previously part of the BUDGIE UK range.

  LAN.4932C   TLB  SOURCE  CODE  -  Have you  ever  wondered  how  those  demo
  programmers  do it?  This is the full source code to the Megabang and  Power
  demos by The Lost Boys.  You will require Devpac 2 to make use of this disk.
  This disk was previously part of the BUDGIE UK range.

  LAN.4935C &  LAN.4936C    Source code from The Mindbomb Demo BY TLB.  - MAIN
  MENU  -  Tim Moss (Manikin of The Lost Boys) has at last agreed  to  release
  this phenomenal piece of code which features full hardware scrolling in  ALL
  directions.  What's  more,  it is all explained and  thoroughly  documented.
  Music, sprites, scroller and the irreverent monkey, all running at 50 frames
  a second!  RED SECTOR SCREEN - The 'Red Sector' 3D balls demo originally  on
  the Amiga and improved on the ST by Manikin.  Includes the famous helicopter
  routine.  Full  reflection in the lower border with the MFP chip  pushed  to
  it's  limit.  Great music to accompany.  DIGI-SYNTH SCREEN -  Quartet  music
  playing  with a spectrum analyser.  Great 3D star field and  the  inevitable
  scroller.  Six tunes from function keys including Paninaro, In The Night and
  The  Mindbomb  Theme.  All sources are fully documented and the  sprite  and
  music  data  are held in their respective folders and an  assembled  PRG  is
  included,  ready to run.  Both disks contain bad language.  Do not buy these
  if you are likely to be offended.  You will require Devpac v2 or 3 in  order
  to use these disks.  Previously part of the BUDGIE UK range.

  LAN.4943  ST-68K-REFERENCE v3.0 by Neil Smith - A reference system aimed  at
  the  serious  programmer  containing full data  on  the  ST  internals.  The
  information  inside  the database is displayed in pages  within  nested  GEM
  windows.   Particular subjects can be accessed by clicking on keywords. This
  can  be repeated until there are no more links to new areas.   The  database
  gives details of all Bios,  Xbios and Gemdos calls,  all AES, VDI and Line-A
  calls.  The 68000, 68901, 6850 and YM2149 are covered and there are a number
  of other sections. This disk was previously a BUDGIE UK title.

  LAN.5032  C_SCAPE V1.1 by Pete Bailey - An integrated front end for  Sozobon
  C (LAN.13).  Rather than have to use Sozobon from a CLI, C_SCAPE gives you a
  nice easy to use working environment and allows your compiler and editor  to
  be  called  up with a single key press.  The package also  includes  a  text
  editor  called Opal.  A useful feature of C_Scape is the ability  to  switch
  between  low and medium resolution so that you can write the code for a  low
  res  program  whilst  in medium res but don't have to re-boot  to  test  it.
  Comprehensive manual on disk.  Recommended.   LHARC SRC by Thomas Quester  -
  The complete assembler and C source code to the LZH method of compression as
  used in the archiver program of the same name.  Almost 300k of code complete
  with  short  doc  (in German) from author.  XINTEGER by  Simon  Boyd  -  The
  XINTEGER C Libary for use with Lattice C.  A very comprehensive package with
  lots  of features including allowing programs to use a new  data  type,  the
  extended integer,"xint". This can be used to represent large integers in a C
  program.  A comprehensive library of routines to support the "xint" type  is
  of course included along with a number of examples.

  LAN.5055  STOS GBP EXTENSION V4.7 by Neil Halliday - A great STOS  extension
  which adds numerous new commands to STOS Basic.  Features include turning on
  or off the disk drive lights (to pulse in time with music),  check to see if
  a  printer is connected,  set printer configuration,  return the  status  of
  certain  keys,  disable the ALT/HELP key combination,  unpack  packed  files
  created using most common packers,  store multiple files in a single  memory
  bank, load and unpack PC1, TNY and CA1 picture files, mirror any area of the
  screen,  play stereo sound samples at up to 50khz on an STE,  set the volume
  of samples replayed on an STE and much more.... Register with the author for
  the compiler version of this extension. STOS EXTRA EXTENSION v3.26 by Martin
  Cubitt - A massive collection of 57 new commands for use in your STOS  Basic
  programs.  Many  of  these will prove invaluable to  STOS  programmers.  New
  commands  allow  you  to format text,  return the  GEMDOS  and  TOS  version
  numbers,  receive data from the cartridge port,  read the values of standard
  cookies in the cookie jar,  determine the state of various keys,  set up the
  printer,  get  disk format info,  detect a write-protected  disk,  copy  and
  format  disks,  perform  a  screen dump,  swap  screen  hertz  rate,  unpack
  compressed  files  and  more....

  LAN.5056   STOS SOURCE DISK #1 by Matthew Hunter - Over 700K of useful  bits
  and  pieces  of  STOS source code (most are  complete  programs).  Some  are
  written in 'native' STOS code and other require the Misty (LAN.3541),  Stars
  (LAN.3908) and Missing Link (UTL.3720) extensions to be installed before you
  can use them.  There's source to a drawing program,  a Spectrum 512  picture
  displayer, a document displayer and a 'tell the time' program. Other sources
  demonstrate  barrel rolling pictures,  displaying  disk  directories,  using
  raster bars, extracting pictures from VideoMaster VID and FLM files, playing
  VideoMaster animations, speeding up the mouse and more... Highly recommended
  for budding STOS programmers who want to know "how it's done".

  LAN.5097  CLISP  by Bruno Haible and Michael Stoll -  An  implementation  of
  Common  LISP for the Atari ST.  Full installation docs are included  but  it
  is  assumed  that  you  have  a working  knowledge  of  LISP,  as  no  other
  documentation is included. GFA LINK-FILER V2.2 by MUG UK - This is a program
  aimed soley at GFA Basic coders.  It allows authors of programs  (especially
  games and demos) to incorporate all their external data files into one large
  file. This file can be accessed using simple procedures (included on disk as
  example  listings)  which replace your original loading  routines  for  your
  external files.  Comprehensive docs are included.  LDEV by Thierry Bousch  -
  An  installable  device driver for the Centronics  port.  Just  execute  the
  program "lpdev.ttp" or put it in your mint.cnf file and it will install  the
  /dev/lp device.  This driver is interrupt driven and therefore shouldn't hog
  the  processor  too  much.  Good docs are included  and  obviously  MINT  is
  required.  Source  code included.  OOPLIB V0.01 by Craig Graham  -  Provides
  support  for  dynamic  class and object manipulation from  HiSoft  BASIC  2.
  OOPLIB  runs on any Atari including the Falcon and has a very  minimal  code
  overhead  (<2Kbytes for the libary code).  Extensive docs are included  with
  examples  and full installation procedure.  Source code included.  ST_TAR  -
  There are two programs in this distribution.  DTAR extracts all files from a
  Tar archive or lists its contents. CTAR creates a Tar archive from the files
  or directories specified on the command line. All files created are Unix Tar
  compatible and DTAR will also extract all files from a Unix Tar file as well
  as an Atari one. Includes docs and some working examples.

  LAN.5098   XAES.V1.00  by  Ken  Hollis - Originally supplied  as  a  mere  C
  library, this release includes a very comprehensive standalone program which
  can  be used to test out your code.  XAES supports the creation of  windows,
  scrollbars  and all other objects via a single routine,  as well  as  active
  dragging and redrawing of slider objects and windows. GUI_DEFS is the system
  file  for XAES which controls how it looks and feels.  The GUI_DEFS file  is
  completely configurable by either the user or the programmer as he/she feels
  fit. The GUI_DEFS file which was included originally with XAES is considered
  the default setup for XAES.  You can use any standard text editor to  adjust
  the information, or use the supplied configuration CPX file. This program is
  referred  to as the Ultimate AES Library by the author and offers much  with
  good documentation and source code.  Recommended. Needs TOS v1.4 or greater.
  This is a much later version of the C library of the same name on LAN.3848.

  LAN.5106  &  LAN.5107  SOZOBONX  by Jerry Geiger and  others -  An  eXtended
  version  of  the  Alycon C compiler,  Sozobon C  v2.00  from  Germany.  This
  Freeware two disk set has extensive documentation in both English and German
  and  is  very close to being fully ANSI/POSIX compatible.  It  is  currently
  being  maintained and updated by seven different authors and  promises  even
  greater  things  to  come.  This latest  version  supports  profiling,  pre-
  compiling  and  has an in-built source level debugger  and  code  optimiser.
  Finished  code is converted to assembler before being linked to  create  the
  executable  program.  The runtime library files  included,  Xdlibs,  are  an
  optimised  version  of  Dale Schumacher's Dlibs from  the  original  Sozobon
  distribution  and the GEM library is an adaptation of Ian Lepore's  GEMFAST.
  Although designed to run from a CLI,  SozobonX includes HAR v3.00 by  Holger
  Weets,  which is a graphic based front end similar in feel to his  excellent
  Pacshell on UTL.4654.  Extensive on-line Help is supplied by way of ST-Guide
  files  (ST-Guide not included).  There are no minimum hardware  requirements
  but  1  Meg and a hard drive are recommended as being the minimum  for  most
  purposes.

  LAN.5275  FPLIB20 by David Brooks - A floating point library for Sozobon  C.
  This  release  contains fixes to FPLIB release 1.0 as well as  the  standard
  Sozobon  release 1.0 floating support.Included is a new LIBM.A that has  the
  new routines included (and the other routines re-arranged to remove the need
  to scan the library twice). GFA_CONTROL by Rob Wiltschut - A GEM based shell
  to tie all the component parts (interpreter,  linker and compiler) together.
  Unfortunately  both  program and docs are in German,  but we've done  a  RUF
  translation of the docs. GFA PATCH V0.98 by Gregor Duchalski and Christopher
  Conrad  -  A  comprehensive GEM based program for use  with  the  GFA  Basic
  interpreter and compiler.  This program deals with various bugs in the Line-
  A,  Setcolour,  Merge,  Call and Deflist commands as well as the colours  in
  used  in  the  Editor and much more.   The  Compiler  is  MagiC  compatible.
  Unfortunately,  the  program  and docs are in German but we've  done  a  RUF
  translation  of  the  docs.  PURE  C  SHELL  V2.21  by  Frank  Schramm  -  A
  comprehensive  shell for use with PURE C only.  Extensive menu system  gives
  the user control over linkers.  compilers,  assemblers and much  more.  This
  shell  program  only  runs  in high res and  requires  TOS  2.06  or  later.
  Unfortunately  the  program  and docs are in German but  we've  done  a  RUF
  translation  of the docs.  ATARI ST PROFILER by David Rowley - Monitors  the
  execution of another program and writes out an analysis of where the program
  being  monitored spends most of its execution time.  The report states  what
  percentage of the total time is taken up by each individual routine. SHOWMsg
  V2.0  by  Bill  Aycock - An ACC which can display and  respond  to  the  GEM
  messages it receives.  It is intended to help programmers debug applications
  that send or receive messages through the GEM message pipe.  ShowMsg runs on
  any ST or TT in any resolution. Comprehensive docs are included.

  LAN.5295   PNG - The full C sources and accompanying documentation  for  the
  Portable  Network Graphic (PNG) format which has been adopted by  CompuServe
  to replace GIF 89.  The code is not Atari specific but is easily adapted for
  use with Lattice C and other compilers. PNG is rapidly replacing GIF as it
  supports  up to 24-bit True Colour (GIF only handled  256  colours).  USET2G
  release 3 - a Pure C library which allows you to support TOS2GEM  (UTL.5163)
  in  your  programs.  includes a GNU C makefile and C source to  the  library
  itself.  THE  MINT PROGRAMMERS GUIDE - An ST Guide hypertext file (ST  Guide
  Lite included) of the entire MiNT documentation by Eric Smith.  It documents
  every  supported  command and includes five  extensive  appendices  covering
  mememory protection,  debugging, the MINT.CFG file and loadable file systems
  such  as Minix.  Invaluable reference guide for those wishing to delve  into
  programming for multi-tasking systems.

  LAN.5298   COMPUTER  GRAPHICS - A collection of graphics created  with  Fast
  Basic,  which  are  entertaining and can be used to create  backgrounds  for
  demos,  textdisplays etc.  Many fans of Franglais will be familiar with  the
  type  of  graphics shown here.  New features have been added  and  the  full
  source code is supplied as an ASCII file for all to study.  Any queries will
  be  answered by Eve Mills,  the author,  on receipt of a  stamped  addressed
  envelope.  STOS NINJA TRACKER EXT V1.06 by Les Greenhalgh - An extension for
  STOS Basic which lets you play 4 track MOD files (i.e. no need to convert to
  AKB) in the background within your own programs.  It also lets you play chip
  music  by most of the well known demo/game coders too.  This latest  version
  even supports packed MODs! Includes the compiler extension, two example MODs
  plus example STOS source code for using the new commands. BLITTER EXT - STOS
  Basic  extension  which  allows you to use the STE's  blitter  in  your  own
  programs. Includes both interpreter and compiler versions. SELECT by A Short
  -  A STOS Basic extension selector.  It lets you switch on or off  any  STOS
  extensions by renaming prior to loading STOS Basic.  This way, you only load
  the  extensions you need,  thus freeing up more memory in which  to  develop
  your  programs.  OVERSTOS  by Neil Stewart - A routine which lets  you  view
  overscanned picture from within STOS Basic. Example STOS source is included.
  STOSMAT V2.1 by Croft Soft Software - A simple STOS ACB which allows you  to
  format standard or extended format disks without leaving STOS Basic.

  LAN.5334   THE  PROGRAMERS INTRO TO DEMO TECHNIQUES by James Ingram  -  Very
  comprehensive program that explains some of the aspects that goes into  demo
  coding.  Some  of  the topics explained are  scrolling  messages,  sine-wave
  wobblers,  getting rid of borders,  timers,  playing samples(STFM/STe), chip
  music,  moving  sprites around and sprites that leave an  infinite  "trail."
  Source  code  is included for the author's Full-Screen  Demo.  This  program
  assumes  that  you have a working knowledge of 68000 coding and is  not  for
  novices.  You must of course have a decent assembler such as Devpac3 and  at
  least 2 Mb of RAM. A hard disk is recommended, otherwise you will require an
  800k ram-disk.

  LAN.5366   LIBRARY  CREATOR V1.0 by Terry King - A programmer's  tool  which
  allows  multiple  files (up to 200) to be combined into  a  single  external
  library  file.  GFA  source code is given for calling the  individual  files
  within the library, from your own programs. The code could easily be adapted
  for use with other languages.  BREAK by Leo de Wit - When run from the  Auto
  folder, this program allows you to interrupt any program except the Desktop.
  Includes  assembler source.  STOS EXTENSION SELECTOR V2 by Les Greenhalgh  -
  Allows you to turn STOS extensions on or off prior to loading the STOS Basic
  interpreter,  in  much  the same way as a boot manager handles  Auto  folder
  programs and ACCs. JDEB by Concurrent Systems, Sweden - A source and machine
  level  debugger  for use with HiSoft's Lattice C.  It has its  own  built-in
  window support and allows an unlimited number of windows to be opened.  JDEB
  has a built-in ANSI C parser/interpreter,  allowing you to write macros in C
  and use these for debugging your program. STOS MAPPER V1.1 by Les Greenhalgh
  -  Perhaps  the most full featured map editor available.  It is  fully  icon
  based and works on a similar basis to lego! Maps can be made up from picture
  files or STOS sprite banks and can be up to three layers deep.  In addition,
  up  to 10 maps can be held in memory and easily swapped  between.  The  only
  limitation  is  that the maps cannot exceed 319x199  tiles,  but  the  tiles
  themselves can be any size. RS2L v2 by M Saro - Converts RSC files into C or
  assembler.  Allows  conversion  with multiple strings so as  to  accommodate
  multi-lingual  applications.  The  author  even supplies  the  routines  for
  changing  languages!  M_CODE01  by  Stephen McNabb - The  first  part  in  a
  programming  series  on 68000 assembly language.  More of  a  collection  of
  useful routines for the beginner,  rather than a full blown  tutorial.  STOS
  SCREEN SAVER by James Marson - This screen saver runs as a STOS ACB. As well
  as blanking out the screen after a period of inactivity,  it can also be set
  to blank the screen when you press a pre-defined key and your ST can only be
  accessed when the correct key is pressed a second time.

  LAN.5575,  LAN.5576, LAN.5577,  LAN.5578  &  LAN.5579  GNU C/C++  V2.33 -  A
  combined  package   which  provides  a  complete  working   environment  for
  developing GNU C,  GNU C++ and Objective C based applications.  There is  no
  need  to  use separate compilers,  it's all integrated  with  this  package.
  Unlike previous versions,  this package is extensively documented (in ASCII,
  DVI, MANpage and ST-Guide formats) with comprehensive information on setting
  up  the system and how to use it.  In fact even the individual commands  are
  all explained in the manual,  making it an excellent programmer's guide. GNU
  C/C++ is fully ANSI compatible and exists on almost every computer platform,
  making the code easily portable from one machine to another.  Although  this
  package  was originally designed for use from a CLI type  interface,  a  GEM
  based front end (GNU-Shell v2.2) is now available and has been included with
  the  package.  Needs  4 Mb and a hard drive (full installation  requires  12
  Mb!).

  LAN.5672   STOS  CYBER EXTENSION v1.00 by Andy Cato and Martin  Cubitt  -  A
  simple  but  effective extension which allows you to replay  CyberPaint  SEQ
  animations  from within your own STOS Basic.  Also included is the  compiler
  extension  so  that you can use the commands in your  compiled  programs.  A
  number of SEQ files are included along with example basic  programs.  Please
  note  that  some of the supplied animations need 1 Meg.  C  STYLES  by  Nils
  Ekholm  -  Two  kurzel  (abbreviation)  files  designed  to  speed  up   the
  development  of C programs using the Everest (WRD.3891) text  editor.  Using
  these  files  reduces  typing time,  reduces the chances  of  syntax  errors
  (typos) creeping in and always places the cursor between the parenthesis  in
  an  IF  statement.  STIKCOVL by Tim Newsome - The full sources  (in  Pure  C
  format)  to  Tim's overlay file which allows you to  interface  the  Crystal
  Atari Browser with STiK so as to support on-line Web browsing. VA PROTOCOL -
  C source code demonstrating the VA protocol which allows messages to be sent
  between applications (running as ACCs or under a multi-tasking OS). Programs
  currently supporting this protocol include Ease,  Gemini,  ST-Guide and  1st
  Guide  amongst  others.  VDIT  by  Eric Gisin - C  sources  to  a  partially
  completed  Public Domain VDI interface.  This current version  supports  the
  loading  and unloading of GDOS fonts using the undocumented  load_fonts  and
  unload_fonts functions.  XHDI 1.25 LIBRARY FOR LATTICE C by Chris Ridd -  An
  adaptation  of  a Pure C library which lets you use  the  various  functions
  built  into the now standard XHDI hard disk driver software  which  supports
  both Atari and PC formatted devices.

  LAN.5674   NAUDIO by Mulle KybernetiK - Evaluation copy (some missing  files
  and  a slow down 'feature') of a sample/module replay library for  use  with
  Pure C (could probably be adapted to work with Lattice C too).  Comes set up
  with  everything  you  need  to  effortlessly  create  four  example  NAUDIO
  programs.  SHELP  V0.1 by T Walter - C source and executable which  let  you
  call up on-line Help from within your own programs using ST-Guide  (F.4782).
  Provided ST-Guide is installed,  all you do is press the Help key! In German
  but we've done a RUF translation of the doc.  MODS by Patrick Ruiz - A  full
  description of the Soundtracker MOD file format. BPB37S by Domenico De Vitto
  - Assembler source to display information about a floppy disk. It shows such
  info  as  boot brach,  disk serial number,  bytes per  sector,  sectors  per
  cluster, reserved sectors, number of FATs, max root directory entries, total
  sectors,  media descriptor,  sectors per track,  sectors per FAT,  sides  on
  media,  hidden  sectors,  directory sectors and more....  CDBIND1 by  Julian
  Reschke  - C bindings for Pure C which give a Unix-like interface to  CD-ROM
  specific functions.  They can be used with a MiNT specific CD-ROM driver  or
  with the MetaDOS BOS drivers.  THE WIMBUSH COLLECTION - A collection of STOS
  Basic  source  code and associated files by David Wimbush.  TIME  -  An  ACB
  which displays the current date and time in a window.  COLOUR - An ACB which
  lets you change the RGB values of any colour in the current palette. It then
  prints out your new palette as a program line.  SAVER - An ACB based  screen
  saver  which  works when STOS is running.  It even uses a starfield  if  the
  STARS extension is installed. COMPILER - A patch for the STOS compiler which
  allows  you  to  load different OPTIONS.INF files  (customise  settings  for
  different circumstances).  CRYSTAL1 - Source code to game based on one  from
  the Crystal Maze TV series. CRYSTAL2 - Source code to a second game from the
  Crystal Maze. PIX - Chooses a different startup picture (randomly) each time
  you  run STOS.  All you have to do is supply the pictures!  PLASTER  MIND  -
  Source to a Mastermind game where you have to guess the location and  colour
  of  four coloured pegs.  MSECCORD - A sub-routine which displays  the  mouse
  coordinates  in  a  window which updates as you move  the  mouse.  ZONEND  -
  Sub-routine  which  displays  which zone the hotspot of your  mouse  is  in.
  LOTTERY - A fun listing where you enter your lottery numbers into the source
  code  and the program generates random numbers in an attempt to  match  your
  ticket.  After  60 years' worth of random numbers I still didn't  have  more
  than 4 numbers!

  LAN.5676   FAST EXTENSION by Baz Mulloy - An extension for STOS Basic  which
  speeds  up  various  aspects of the language such as  clearing  the  screen,
  mathematical calculations,  plotting to the screen and such like.  HD ON/OFF
  by Teddy of TMC - A GFA Basic listing which (when compiled) lets you  switch
  on/off SCSI or IDE hard drives.  Requires an XHDI hard disk driver (such  as
  HD  Driver) to be installed,  otherwise it won't work.  NORMALIZED KEY  CODE
  CONVERTER (NKCC) V2.93 by Harald Siegmund - C source code for  incorporation
  into your own programs for handling keyboard events.  On different  versions
  of  TOS  and  sometimes  on different language versions  of  the  same  TOS,
  pressing  a specific key combination returns a different ASCII  value.  NKCC
  fixes  this by intercepting these and standardising them.  It also  supports
  the  handling of 'deadkeys' for special non-alphabetical characters as  used
  in several European languages.  Although intended for use in Turbo C or Pure
  C, object files are supplied in DRI format, so they could be used in more or
  less  any compiler.  Docs in both English and German.  WINDALOG V1.2  -  GFA
  v3  source  for  putting dialog boxes into windows  in  your  own  programs.
  PEACEBUG V1.31 by Emanuel Mocklin - One of the most popular debugging  tools
  available.  Unfortunately this is a collection of the source code  only,  no
  executables, and it needs to be built using the Pure Assembler (or converted
  to another such as Devpac).  Fully compatible with all Atari models from the
  ST to the Falcon. Docs in both English and German. Needs a hard drive.

  LAN.5693C   STOS FRIEND CHIP #5 by Take-5-Team - Another issue of this  STOS
  based disk mag.  Unlike STOSSER,  Friend Chip really a shell for programming
  routines rather than being a 'magazine'.  Just choose the topic of  interest
  and  the routine will be demonstrated,  picture displayed or  music  played.
  This  issue  features 6 sound chip tunes,  a module,  7  sound  samples  (of
  screams!),  9 pictures,  a sprite bank, a font bank, 3 STOS ACBs, a few sub-
  routines,  the STARS extension,  12 complete STOS sources (mainly demos) and
  the  source  to  a fruit machine games.  Plenty to  keep  the  average  STOS
  programmer going for a few weeks.

  LAN.5705   MINIXFS  by S Henson - An alternative filesystem  for  use  under
  MiNT.  As the name suggests,  it is fully compatible with the (long defunct)
  Minix  operating  system (a Unix clone) and will let you  access  partitions
  created using Minix without Minix having to be installed. MinixFS ordinarily
  supports  filenames  up to 14 characters in length but can be  persuaded  to
  work  with 30 or even 62 character filenames (which can contain mixed  upper
  and lower case characters). The file system is much faster at accessing data
  than  TOS,  supports  huge  partition sizes and is  more  robust  than  TOS.
  However,  some  programs  cannot  work with long  filenames  and  some  disk
  utilities  (such  as  optimising/defragmenting  software)  keel  over   with
  MinixFS.  Having  said  that,  most of the newer  MiNT/Multi-TOS  compatible
  software works fine.  A file consistency checker and defragmenting tool  are
  included  on  the disk.  Includes enough docs to get you going  and  full  C
  source code.  Please note that MinixFS requires a partition to itself so you
  will  need  to  repartition  your  hard drive  (or  wipe  over  an  existing
  partition). Also, MinixFS only runs under MiNT (LAN.54) or Multi-TOS.

  LAN.5852  ABC - The ST version of a high level language originally  destined
  to  replace BASIC.  It is described as structured,  interactive and easy  to
  learn  and is ideally suited to writing programs which would  normally  have
  been designed using BASIC or Pascal.  ABC programs are about 20% of the size
  of their Pascal or C equivalents and is an ideal teaching language. The docs
  and on-line Help should be enough to get you going.  There's also a book you
  can get from your library which explains ABC in details.  STOS COMPILER  FIX
  by Les Greenhalgh - Fixes the STOS Basic compiler so that compiled  programs
  will run on all TOS versions up to v4.04 (STOS officially supports up to TOS
  1.62 only).  This is a simpler alternative to using STOSFIX or GENFIXER when
  compiling your own STOS Basic programs.  NVDI 4.1 GUIDE by Wilfried Behne  -
  An  extensive programmers' guide designed to assist you in interfacing  your
  own  programs  with  NVDI 4 and getting the best out  of  the  system.  Very
  detailed  documentation,  invaluable  to  all programmers  of  utility  type
  software. Now in English.

  LAN.5893   WINDGEM V1.4 by Phillipe Castella - An extended GEM  library  for
  use  with  Sozobon-X.  It  allows you to add extras such  as  program  menus
  contained  within  a window,  iconification,  on-line  Help,  pop-up  menus,
  improved  window management and a more pleasing user interface to  your  own
  programs.  Very  similar to EGEM and EGLIB in functionality but less  memory
  hungry.  Compatible with MagiC v4 and TOS 1.2 to 4.04.  Includes full manual
  in ST-Guide format, unfortunately everything's in French.

  LAN.5897   PTSRC v 3.T by Lance - Assembler source for replaying  Protracker
  2.0  MODs at 50khz on an STE!  The sources include a 'Paula' emulator and  a
  specially written 'Trash Mode' which sets aside buffers so that an animation
  can  run  comfortably at the same time as the MOD is playing.  RT  by  Harun
  Scheutzow - Measures Interrupt Response Time.  In other words,  it  measures
  the  time  taken  from the issuing of the interrupt command  until  the  CPU
  responds.  It's  useful  for  comparing  the time  taken  by  the  different
  available  interrupts  to perform the same task or  for  comparison  between
  interrupts   running  under  different  operating  systems  (different   TOS
  versions,  MagiC,  Geneva,  Multi-TOS etc).  Regrettably it's in German  but
  we've done a RUF translation of the docs. MARK WILLIAMS C SHELL by Dan Wilga
  -  A  shell  program  for MWC which allows up to five  source  files  to  be
  compiled into one PRG. It is designed to be run from within NeoDesk v2.05 or
  later.  Along with the text editor of your choice,  it gives MWC programmers
  integrated  editor,  linker and compiler functions from an easy to  use  GEM
  based environment.  OLD2ANSI by Dan Wilga - Converts old Kernighan & Ritchie
  C sources into ANSI style prototypes.  Should cope with the source from most
  pre-ANSI C compilers and save you a whole lot of retyping. GIFJPEG by Jochan
  Klockars   &  Frank  Mohle - Various Assembler and C sources  (used  in  the
  program  MGIF) for loading and displaying GIF and JPG files.  Most are  well
  commented  and all are in English!  CHK BUSY by Graham Curtis - Program  and
  Pascal source to a test routine which shows the binary representation of the
  byte  at $FFFA01 of the MFP chip.  TIME TEST by Graham Curtis - Program  and
  Pascal source to test shutter timing.  For use in conjunction with CHK BUSY.
  MOTOROLA by Bjorn Ove Arthun - A comprehensive document (in English!) on the
  Motorola 68030 as used in the TT,  Falcon and PAK.  It covers all mneumonics
  and  their  meanings,  adressing modes  and  assembler  syntax,  instruction
  assembler syntax, instruction cycles table and advice on optimisations. Very
  thorough coverage with lengthy examples throughout.

  LAN.6029   PASCAL TO C CONVERTER V1.20 by David Gillespie - Executables  and
  library  files needed to convert Pascal source code into GNU C  source.  You
  will need to have a working GNU C/GNU C++ setup in order to use this disk. A
  number  of  Pascal  examples  and  their  C  equivalents  are  included  for
  comparative  purposes.  The program is so well designed that most C  sources
  can  be compiled without any alteration and those areas which are likely  to
  require human intervention are clearly commented in the source! Needs 1 Mb.

  LAN.6030   DCS by Double Click Software - Assembler routine for loading  and
  displaying  a  degas or NEO image.  METADOSL by Julian Reschke -  C  sources
  which provide a Unix-like interface to CD-ROM specific  functions,  bindings
  for MetaDOS functions and defines and prototypes for MetaDOS functions.  NOS
  V0.42 by David Nash - Full C sources to AtariNOS,  the program which  opened
  up the Internet to Atari users. This is the version used in Demon Internet's
  original  Atari access software and subsequently as the on-line  portion  of
  the  Oasis 1.xx software before being superceded by ICE (Oasis 2)  and  STiK
  (WWW  Pack).  Anyone wishing to program software intended for accessing  the
  Net could learn a lot from these sources.  PC1_DPK by Rob Cooper - Assembler
  source (and GFA Basic INLine) to load and decompress a Degas PC1  image.  TT
  DIS  V1.01  by  Brian Gladman - A CLI based disassembler for  the  TT  which
  handles  68030  and 68882 assembler.  You can disassemble  as  instructions,
  bytes,  words,  longwords or characters between any two specified addresses.
  Files   can  of  course  be  disassembled  as  well  as  memory   locations.
  Specifically written for the TT but also runs on the Falcon.

  LAN.6033  &  LAN.6034  ST OBERON  V2.05  by   Stephan Junker  -  Oberon  was
  developed between 1985 and 1987 by Niklaus Wirth and Jurg Gutknecht.  It  is
  used  mainly  for teaching purposes and is similar in  concept  to  C,  also
  drawing  influences from Modula 2.  Like C it is a highly portable  language
  with versions existing for almost all computer platforms. This version is an
  adaptation of Oberon 2 and runs on any Atari but has the ability to generate
  030  and  FPU native code where required.  It also  features  an  integrated
  assembler for added speed.  Includes extensive documentation (in English) on
  the  Atari  implementation  of Oberon along with details  of  the  standards
  agreed  for  Oberon  compilers at  a  developers'  conference.  Dirk  Haun's
  programming  shell  Chatwin is recommended (but not included) for  use  with
  Oberon  but an alternative (PShell) is included for those who are  short  of
  memory or do not have Chatwin.  Shareware with registered users getting  the
  library source files,  a debugger and other extras.  This is a major upgrade
  of Oberon on LAN.4175.

  LAN.6066   EASY  JAVA by Martin Howard - Have you ever wanted  to  add  Java
  support  to  your Web pages?  This programming course explains  clearly  and
  concisely  how to write your own Java applets and link them into  your  HTML
  code.  Java  Script  applets are device independent,  so it  doesn't  matter
  which machine you create them on,  they will run on Sun, PC, Mac, Next, Unix
  etc.  Currently none of the Atari Web browsers support the use of Java (they
  just ignore it),  but it will come in time and you'll be ready when it does.
  This  course  is NOT for the novice.  It assumes you have  a  sound  working
  knowledge of C and C++.  If you are also well up on Smalltalk,  so much  the
  better. Some of the files are Java source, others are tutorial files. A file
  displayer is included on the disk, although it makes more sense to print the
  course in its entirety.  TOPS v2.00 by Keith Baines - An OPL editor for  TOS
  based machines.  OPL is the programming language used by the Psion Series  3
  and Siena handheld computers. It allows you to edit existing OPL programs on
  your Atari or create new ones from scratch.  These may then be sent (by null
  modem  cable) directly to the handheld device and run directly as if it  had
  been  created  on  that device.  The system includes  a  built-in  OPL  pre-
  processor,   graphical  editor  for  OPA  icons,   module  builder  to  link
  independently  created OPL modules,  ACC which installs the Psion  character
  set on your Atari,  file transfer utility and on-screen help with OPL syntax
  as well as several example OPL programs. You will of course a suitable Psion
  serial  cable in order to connect the two computers.  HS Modem  on  COM.4407
  will also be required. Needs 1 Mb.

  LAN.6087  GEMMA STOS V1.72 by Paul Jones and friends - An extension for STOS
  Basic  which  lets you use GEM calls within STOS!  Yes,  you can use  it  to
  create  window based applications in STOS Basic,  multi-tasking is  even  be
  possible as is 256 colour display on the Falcon. The intention is that GEMMA
  will  eventually  become a complete re-write of STOS,  for the  meantime  it
  consists of an interpreter extension, a compiler extension and a replacement
  STOS Basic loader.  Well documented and worth a look.  You will require  the
  original  STOS  Basic interpreter (if you also have the  compiler,  all  the
  better),  otherwise  you  will  be unable to use  GEMMA.  DRI2GNU  by  Joerg
  Hessdoerfer  -  Converts  DRI  object  code  (as  generated  by  most  Atari
  compilers)  to GNU C/C++ object files.  EC PAINT by Haakon Eines - Full  GFA
  Basic and assembler sources to the impressive monochrome graphics package of
  the same name on ART.5111M.

  LAN.6106   ?PIXELS  by Phil Young - Four machine code  file  with  assembler
  source.  Their purpose is to pixelate the screen quickly.  They are intended
  to be loaded into a STOS memory bank and called from there.  CONV3 - A  STOS
  ACB which allows source files which use extensions to work if the  extension
  is installed under a different letter. ELF HELP - Creates English Help files
  for Pure C.  Needs TOS 1.4 or later and 2 Mb. ELF HELP 2 - An upgrade to ELF
  HELP which needs to be applied after the initial installation.  FLDLIB V0.93
  by Martin Maisey - A library for use with Lattice C which allows you to  use
  floating  dialogs (dialogs contained within windows) in your  own  programs.
  MAKE  CPX  V1.02  by Noud van Kruysbergen - CPX modules  require  a  special
  header which cannot easily be created within a compiler.  This program  lets
  you generate the appropriate header by extracting and modifying an  existing
  one from another CPX or generating a new header from scratch.  Make CPX then
  allows  the header to be attached to your CPX program file as  generated  by
  the compiler.  RSC TO C by ELF Software - Extracts the data from an RSC file
  into a set of initialised static arrays and a data structure containing  the
  size and pointers to these arrays.  The resultant code can then be edited to
  suit  and incorporated directly within the main program.  Designed  for  use
  with  Pure C,  the output may need minor modification for  other  compilers.
  ALERT  HELP  V2.0 by Matthias Jaap - The easy way to create  an  alert  box.
  Enter  the  text for the message and buttons,  choose  the  default  button,
  select which symbol is to be used in the box and you're finished! Output can
  be in GFA Basic format or standard FORM_ALERT type.  There's even a  preview
  button  so  you  can see the results before you save  to  disk.  Program  in
  English and German.

  LAN.6166   COLOUR  ICONS  3 by Thomas Binder - The  release  of  the  Falcon
  brought  in support for colour icons on the Desktop.  The documentation  and
  sources here allow colour icons to be used within your own C programs,  even
  on an ST.  SYNO_SRC - The complete assembler source code (including graphics
  and sound samples) to a game called Synopalis.  If the graphics are anything
  to  go by,  it could be quite an impressive game.  There are no  docs,  just
  source code.  Perhaps its an unfinished game,  maybe just unreleased. Either
  way, assemble it with Devpac and see what you think of it!

  LAN.6201 PGSMODST - Now that Soft Logik no longer develop PageStream for the
  Atari,  they  have  decided to release the full source code to a  number  of
  printer  drivers  and export modules from PageStream v2.2 so  that  you  can
  modify them or create your own.  The export modules are for Degas and  ASCII
  and  there  are 69 printer drivers covering most  popular  models  including
  Canon Epson Hewlett Packard,  NEC,  OKI,  TEK, Atari and PostScript. All are
  supplied  as assembler source with the appropriate includes and make  files.
  Soft  Logik retain the copyright on these sources but you are free  to  make
  your  own  modules from them.  UNIC V2.6 by The YESCrew - A  GEM  filesystem
  manager for Minix partitions respecting the KGMD installation.  Put  simply,
  it's  a  replacement file selector with bells and whistles which  only  runs
  under  MiNT with an AV server Desktop (such as Thing) and handles  the  file
  structure of Minix partitions correctly.

  LAN.6202 ARGV - A well written document explaining the structure and use  of
  the  GEMDOS extended argument specification.  KILLREGS by Julian  Reschke  -
  Overwrites the values of the d1,  d2, a0, a1, a2 registers with every GEMDOS
  call to remove rogue values introduced by certain programs (including ST Zip
  2.3 and Xcontrol 1.31).  MORPH3D2 - C source which creates the  intermediate
  frames  needed  to  morph two CAD3D v2 files.  INDENT V1.6  -  A  C  program
  formatter.  Lets  you  reformat  C  source the way  you  want  it.  Every  C
  programmer has his own ideas as to how the source should be  indented.  This
  program covers just about every eventuality, with about 30 possible switches
  which can be set to suit.  Now you can reformat everyone else's source  code
  into  a  format  which is more readable for you.  Includes  full  C  source.
  CODEASS  V0.48 by Sven Karlsson - An early version of a system which  cross-
  compiles  code  for  the Jaguar on your Atari.  Put  simply,  when  used  in
  conjunction with Devpac 3,  it lets you write Jaguar games on an ST,  TT  or
  Falcon.  I have no ideas as to how you get them up and running on the Jaguar
  as  this  version comes with absolutely no docs.That  said,  it  looks  very
  promising.

  ****************************************************************************
  ICTARI Programmers' User Group - ICTARI is a user group specifically set  up
  for Atari programmers.  They started producing a regular "disk mag" back  in
  March 1993 and are still going strong.  Always on the search for quality PD,
  we have managed to track down past issues of this excellent publication.  In
  this update we will feature ICTARI issues 1 to 7. Don't dismiss these due to
  their  age,  programming tutorials and source code don't date as quickly  as
  product reviews and news items! Over the next few months, we intend bringing
  the  ICTARI  collection  right up to date but there's masses  of  issues  to
  catalogue and it takes time.  Although described as a diskmag, ICTARI issues
  are  really a collection of source codes,  executables,  tutorials and  user
  group news. If you enjoy these first few issues, you will be pleased to know
  that  issues 8 to 19 are also available from Floppyshop.  The only  snag  is
  that  we can't tell you what's on those issues as they won't  be  catalogued
  for another couple of months.  If you can't wait,  just order them by  issue
  number and take pot luck.
  *****************************************************************************

  LAN.6211  ICTARI #1 MARCH 1993 - This first issue of the Atari  programmers'
  diskmag spends much of its time outlining plans for future issues and  (like
  all  subsequent  issues)  comes as plain text files so  you'll  need  a  doc
  displayer,  text  editor  or  word processor in order to  read  it.  In  the
  unlikely event you have none of the above, we recommend Everest on WRD.3891.
  Programs on the disk include an accounts program, a database, a virus killer
  and the source code and executables to lots of other programs.  Most sources
  are in C and assembler in this issue.  There's Assembler source to a program
  packer,  a  Mandelbrot generator,  a caps lock disable program and  a  virus
  killer. C sources are for an auto time program, a soft formatting program, a
  binary  to  assembler  converter,   an  early  virus  killer  and  a  system
  diagnostics  program.  Articles  include an article on  the  ST's  operating
  system, a review of the newly released Falcon and the full specifications of
  the Falcon.

  LAN.6212  ICTARI  #2  - The second issue of  this  programmer's  user  group
  release.  The  user  group file has grown considerably and now  includes  an
  editorial,  a news roundup,  an explanation of PD,  Shareware,  Freeware and
  Licenceware,  a  forum section and a selection of user profiles.  There  are
  sections for Assembler,  GFA, STOS and C. Other features include bug reports
  on last month's programs,  a piece on the STE's DMA hardware and how to  use
  it, and an article on getting started with MIDI. Assembler sources include a
  document  displayer,  an  intro/menu from which programs can be  run,  a  no
  border  routine and a program for playing music via the DMA hardware  on  an
  STE.  C sources include the beginnings of a database program,  a program for
  drawing  basic shapes and another which displays characters input  from  the
  keyboard. There's GFA code for a font editor and STOS code a raster routine,
  a sprite demo, a parallax scroller and several games.

  LAN.6213  ICTARI #3 JUNE 1993 - There's very little by way of  editorial  in
  this issue but masses of source in Assembler,  Basic,  GFA,  C and STOS.  As
  usual,  you  will  need a text editor such as Everest in order to  read  the
  files on this disk.  Assembler sources cover loading and saving files  using
  GEMDOS,  accessing disk sectors using the BIOS,  detecting the TOS  version,
  hints & tips for speeding up your code,  screen border  removal,  displaying
  the values in a disk's BPB,  and displaying Spectrum 512 images.  There's  a
  fractal  generator  in HiSoft Basic and an incremental backup utility  in  C
  along  with parts 1 & 2 of Tim Orens' GEM programming tutorial.  GFA  source
  includes a clock program,  a Degas picture displayer, a tool for simpilfying
  the  creation of GEM menus and lots of miscellaneous sources.  STOS  sources
  include  routine to draw circles,  calculate the day of the week on a  given
  date,  a  sprite  routine,  and a routine to rescue data from a  disk  whose
  directory has been lost.  Other features include the Atari GEMDOS manual,  a
  review of the book "The Official Guide to Sid Meir's Railroad Tycoon" and an
  article explaining how to send demos over the Internet. Software on the disk
  includes a virus protector,  debugging tool,  Mega Depack and the  Chameleon
  Desk Accessory loader.

  LAN.6214  ICTARI  #4  JULY  1993 - This fourth  issue  is  as  crammed  with
  programming  tips,  tutorials  and  source code  as  its  predecessors.  The
  assembler section includes sources to a doc displayer, a routine which flips
  the screen,  a HBL colour changing routine and the start of a  serialisation
  of  Robert Arp's Arp Book (full version on LAN.3612).  C source  includes  a
  sample  sequencer,  a form handling routine and parts 3 and 4 of Tim  Orens'
  Professional GEM tutorials.  The STOS section includes a listing of all know
  STOS extensions along with their uses,  and Martin Cubitt's Extra extension.
  Other articles include Audio Formats FAQ,  ST Picture Formats, how to modify
  an  STFM to output stereo sound and a listing of VT52 control  codes.  There
  are also a number of small programs, mostly by AstraSoft.

  LAN.6215 ICTARI #5 - It's good to see a regular diskzine for programmers and
  issue 5 of ICTARI is so crammed with information that the disk format had to
  be  extended!  The  Assembler continues the Arp  Book  series,  has  another
  borders removal routine,  an updated doc displayer, a routine which displays
  a picture on reset,  a starburst routine,  a rasters routine and an  updated
  TOS detection routine. There's a C routine which shows how to link Lattice C
  to 68k MC,  an article on the structure of a floppy disk and another on  the
  use of the Pexec command.  The supplied STOS routines overcome the 15 sprite
  limit  and  show  off some special effects  including  border  removal.  GFA
  routines include infinite sprites,  a mini-demo,  a screen melt  routine,  a
  scroller  and an address book.  There's other pieces on the structure of  an
  executable file and the continuation of Tim Orens' Professional GEM  series.
  Another worthy issue.

  LAN.6216  ICTARI  #6  AUGUST  1993 - This month's  issue  has  quite  a  few
  executables  on it as well as the usual source code.  The Assembler  section
  continues  the  serialisation of Arp Book,  has an AVR player for  the  STE,
  routines  to  check  if  the mouse is within a  specified  area  on  screen,
  initialise GEM, intall an interrupt in a VBL queue, generate a random number
  within  a specified range,  perform horizontal scrolling on a mono  display,
  and  calculate  the  square  root  of  a  32-bit  number,  all  meticulously
  documented.  Tim  Orens'  Professional  GEM series continues  with  part  7,
  there's  the  beginnings of an address book written in Pascal and  the  full
  sources to a STOS demo.  This month's GFA section has an improved version of
  last month's mini-demo, a GFA v2 conversion of the infinite sprites routine,
  another starfield routine and about 20 invaluable GFA procedures,  all  well
  documented.  There's also the compiled version of last month's STE  sampling
  program, BASIC (HiSoft and STOS) routines for replaying Master Sound samples
  on  an STFM,  another border removal routine and a  handwriting  recognition
  program!

  LAN.6217  ICTARI  #7 SEPTEMBER 1993 - This issue has a lively  editorial  as
  well  as the usual sources in Assembler,  C,  GFA and  STOS.  The  Assembler
  section  progresses  with chapters 7 and 8 or Arp Book and has  routines  to
  hide and show the mouse pointer,  use sprires saved by NeoChrome Master  and
  play TCB Tracker modules.  There's an Ictari membership program in STOS  and
  more of Tim Orens' series on C programming for GEM. The Professor's last GFA
  column  features  an exploding pixels demo and top  border  removal  source.
  Finally,  there's a program which prints out text in several GDOS  fonts,  a
  comprehensive document explaining how bitplanes work and an updated  version
  of last month's handwriting recognition program.

  LAN.6306  CSTATIST by Erik Häll - Counts the number of lines in any given  C
  source  file.  It includes statistics for each file called by the main  file
  and  lists the count for each #include file.  Multi-tasking  friendly,  also
  runs under TOS. GEMLIB V3.0XX by Tommy Andersen - A bug fixed version of the
  GEMLIB library for use with the GCC compiler.  This is an unofficial version
  but has been patched to work with EGEM 220.  Not much by way of docs, but it
  should  be straightforward enough to GNU C programmers.  MPEG_SYS  by  Guido
  Vollbeding  - Pure C source for analysing and converting MPEG  system  layer
  streams. It optionally gives information on the contents of the system layer
  streams or extracts them as pure MPEG video streams which can be handled  by
  any  MPEG  video  players.   Please  note  this  is  source  code  only,  no
  executables.
