killer on UTL.82.
UTL.86 ST-68K-Aid - an accessory which is a reference manual for 68000
machine code programmers. It is by Neil Smith and is sold as
commissionware. This means that if you register with Neil, you get £2 from
him for every person that you give a copy to who also registers. It is an
invaluable aid to the programmer with reference to Gemdos calls, Bios
calls, Xbios calls, A-line routines, A-line variables, System variables and
the 68k instruction set. ST Sheet v0.01 - a spreadsheet also by Neil Smith.
This comes in both PRG and ACC formats and a full manual on disk. ST

these with a clean bootsector which uses the original values. Works on TOS
or Aladin disks. Translated by Robin de la Motte. DC Transfer - a comms
utility used to transfer text files. Home Accounts - This is the first
utility to appear using STOSBasic. This is a run - time version including
full source code. Runs in mono or colour. The predecessor to BUDUTL.01C.

UTL.162M Disk Engineer v3.01 - starts up by displaying no of sides, no of
tracks, sectors per track, bytes per sector, sectors per cluster, no of
directory entries and no of FAT sectors. You have the option to change
disk,change drive, format a disk or get a directory. Drives from A to J can
be selected so that a hard drive can also be analysed. The format option
is very versatile allowing almost any type of customised format. You can
either side, both sides, select number of FAT and directory sectors etc.
The directory option is very powerful allowing you to move in and out of
sub-directories, trace a file's FAT entries and set files to hidden,
deleted, undeleted,system files or protected files. This is probably one of
the most powerful disk utilities available. Translated by Robin de la
Motte. Mono only. It is however, easy to learn. Omnikron Basic Run Only
Interpreter - allows you to run programs written in Omnikron Basic without
owning the package. TOS v1.0 only. Themadat - a GEM based database program

as a spreadsheet for chemistry students, chemistry professors and anyone
else who deals with covalent binding. Lewis 123 can also reduce the time
necessary for an organic chemist to draw the multitude of organic structures
he may have to depict. Picture files created can be saved in Degas or
Metafile format. Regrettably Lewis 123 is mono only. VC Spreadsheet
Calculator - VC is based on rectangular tables in a similar manner to
Visicalc or Lotus 123. It is NOT Gem based but is very flexible. It would
appeal more to the dedicated spreadsheet user than the average ST user. A
full user manual is provided on disk. Transistor - a program which allows
you to draw electronic circuits. A complete library of objects is provided
on disk. There are just two drawbacks. The documentation is German (although
the program is in English) and the program is mono only.

PD version of Turbo ST? Speeds up printing text, scrolling and window
redraws. A software blitter! Quick View - a file viewer program that
allows you to scroll backwards as well as forwards.
UTL.175 DRIVEMOD - some replacement drives don't log in a disk properly
when you press the Esc key. Instead they hold the old directory in memory

with a GEM interface. Unlike its predecessor, this program accomodates the
odd number of teams in the English 1st Division. Also included is a demo of
Dr Fox's Football annual. Easy to use but definitely not guaranteed to win
you a million quid. Still, if you're not in... ARC2Fol - Unarchives LZH, ARC
and ZOO archives to a folder with the same name as the archive. Needs
ARC.TTP, ZOO.TTP and LZH.TTP in order to work. Copier - Copies a file from

UTL.393 KAOSDesk - A replacement for the GEM Desktop. This program has many
of the best features of NEODesk and Gemini. It is invaluable if you have a
hard disk and desireable if you don't. In my opinion, KAOSDesk has all the
best features of TOS v2 upwards and more! I can't recommend this program

directs disk input/output. Particularly useful if you have a program which
insists on reading from Drive A and you want to copy the files to a hard
disk or ramdisk. Double2 - Emulates a double height screen on the STE and
Mega STE. HDWait2 - Waits for your hard disk to get up speed before booting

telescope of up to six inches aperture. Medium resolution only. NOT TOS 1.4
or later. BIORHYTHMS - Supply your date of birth and your ST will tell you
what kind of day you're going to have! Single sided.
UTL.400 & S-UTL.401 GEMINI V1.99 by Stefan Eissing - A brilliant Shareware
Desktop replacement which is similar in many ways to Neodesk. It is very
similar to the built-in Desktop on the Falcon but with several 'extra'
features such as its own built-in CLI. Other features include keyboard
shortcuts, automatic installation of all devices attached to the system,
the option of using an IMG as a Desktop picture, disk formatting to extended
capacities, Kobold 2 support, recoverable trashcan, moveable dialogs,
GEM Clipboard support and full compatibility with Speedo-GDOS, Multi-TOS
and Mag!X (including support for the AV protocol which allows messages
to be sent between different GEM programs). This latest version runs in
any Falcon resolution and uses colour icons. There's just one problem,
both the program and docs are in German, although we have done a rough
translation. Vorsprung durch technik on two double sided disks. A major
update on UTL.228.
UTL.403C THE STOS SHOOT 'EM UP BUILDER KIT by Ian Blair - In a similar vein
to SEUK but created using STOS Basic. This program allows you to create your

may be all you need, and with registration at only £5, it's well worth a
look. SUPERCARD v1.31 - A fast, flexible and easy to use card index type
database from BWare. Originally a commercial release, this program is
Shareware and registered users can order other BWare products at substantial
reductions. My TV repairman runs his business with version 1 and thinks it's

preferred defaults can be saved for later use. Up to 40 programs can have
mouse tricks activated in different modes when they are run. These settings
can also be saved. There are simply too many functions in Mouse Tricks to
mention, suffice to say it is highly recommended. Apart from certain (but
not all) functions being disabled after 20 minutes and the text reader only
being able to hold one document in memory instead of 8, this program is
fully useable. It's simply too extensive to classify as a demo. Full version
available from The ST Club.

UTL.3025 ZX SPECTRUM EMULATOR V2.07 by Christian Gandler - A ZX Spectrum
emulator for the ST. It seems like a silly thing to do but is works! In fact
some programs run faster under emulation than they did on the original
Spectrum. Simply run the INSTALL.PRG and the complete system (about 1.2
Meg's worth) will be installed to the path of your choice. As well as the
main emulator program, there's countless utilities which can all be
integrated using the supplied shell. Several different modes of emulation
are possible by choosing the settings which best suit individual programs.
The joystick interface is emulated, supporting all four types of joystick.
The notorious microdrive cartridges are emulated too! Printer output is
redirected to the parallel or serial port (you choose) so that you can get
printouts from Spectrum programs. This emulator also supports the snapshot
files used by Amiga and PC Spectrum emulators. You will need to have access
to a 'real' Spectrum with an interface 1 if you want to transfer more
programs across. The documentation is excellent and runs to about 90k! A
number of Spectrum programs are also included on disk. Needs 1 Meg. SPECCY
PRINT by John Bennett - Spectrum programs which allow you to print files
from Christian Gandler's Spectrum emulator. Also includes detailed
instructions on how to go about doing so and has a couple of other programs

without the graphics and sound. The primary function of The Guru is for use
as an on-line help facility. OVERLAY - Combine up 4 picture files using this
program. STOS source is provided which allows you to separate the pictures
and fade from one to another. The most likely use for these overlayed
pictures is in demo intros and video titling. Colour only. TELEBASE V1.4 -
An excellent program for storing names, addresses and telephone numbers. If
you have an Autodial modem, you can even dial the numbers from within the
program. Up to 56 numbers can be stored per file and there is no limit to
the amount of files you can create. The program is GEM based and very easy
to use. TUI_DEMO - An extensive accessory based CLI. Although this is a

journals. It allows multiple files to be held in memory and cross searched,
fast scrolling, splitting and merging of files, high speed export of fields
for keyword extraction and instant printing of neat reports. Mono only,
needs 1 Meg. TSET - Prompts you for the time and date on boot up and sets
the system clock.
UTL.3725 ALT HELP by Dave Jones - Once installed you can display free
memory, toggle disk verify, toggle hertz rate in colour or cold boot your ST
by simply press ALT+HELP and a combination of the SHIFT keys. ANDYLOAD 3.7 -
Packs several files into one chunk and then writes that chunk sector by
sector to disk. As far as I can make out, it lets you pack your own programs
and create bootable disks with them. AUTOFILE - Allows you to create user
friendly self extracting archives. No docs and a TTP file so the program
itself isn't user friendly! COPY MULTI V1.0 - A multi-tasking disk copying
program. It copies disks as you get on with something else. It does not
require Multi-TOS and runs on any ST. CROSSOVER - Converts Aladin 3.0 disks
to Spectre 128 format and vice versa. LZH SEA V2.1 - Allows you to create
your own self extracting files from LZH or compatible archives. FCOPY 3 - A
translated version of this popular copier with the Help file in English!
FILEMOVE - Allows you to move files rather than have to copy and then delete
them. You only need this program if you have TOS 1.0 or 1.2. Later versions
have it built into ROM. FINDER V2.0 - Searches all files in a specified
folder or drive for up to three specified text strings within the files.
HPDUMP - Put one of these programs in your Auto folder and reboot. Now press
ALT+HELP to do a screendump to any HP Deskjet, Laserjet or compatible
printer. There's one program for medium res and two for high (giving
different results). MACREAD - Reads data from a Mac formatted hard drive or
Spectre formatted floppy (HFS format) and writes the contents to an ST
floppy or hard drive. MONITOR MAGIC by Dave Becker - Allows you to set the
screen on a colour TV or monitor to green or amber for improved clarity.
MDISK V4.3 - A ramdisk with a difference. You can do a disk copy (as opposed
to a file copy) to the ramdisk and then from the ramdisk to another floppy
(even one which has a different format). This is much faster than file
copying if there are lots of files on your disk. MUTATE - Nothing to do with
Hero Turtles! It's a sector editor which works on floppies, hard disks,
files and memory. It even copes with hard disk sectors larger than 512
bytes. C source included. DUNE KILLER V1.2 - Installs an executable
bootsector which can killa virus in memory, toggle 50/60hz, let you include
a short message and copy itself to another disk. Colour only. RENAME IT -
Allows you to rename files and folder using both uper case and lower case
letters. THE SUPREME SCREEN SNATCHER V1.2 - Allows you to interrupt a
program, grab a screen and save it in Degas format. You can also search
through memory for other graphics. UNDELETE by Trevor Blight - An excellent
utility which takes a new approach to recovering deleted files. It
reconstructs the file in memory and saves it to another disk, preventing
possible messups on the original disk. PAGESTREAM TEMPLATES by EYM Cheng -
These templates allow you to reproduce industry standard crop marks for
typesetting and/or colour work using Pagestream 2.2. This gets round the bug
in the program and/or Postscript printer driver.
UTL.3761 POWERDOS - A multi-tasking GEM replacement. It seems to be similar
in concept to MINT and Multi-TOS but much less memory hungry. The
documentation is very sparse and I couldn't get into it fully. It looks
powerful but with very little documentation, you're on your own. ST ZINE V3
by Andrew Oakley - An excellent Shareware program for creating your own disk
magazines. It allows you to combine pictures, text and tracker music to
create your own mag. It comes with a sample disk mag which is essentially a
reader program for the extensive manual. It also has an installer program
which converts MOD files to ABK, compresses picture files and puts
everything together for you, ready to run. Runs in colour or mono. ADR
RIPPER v1.05 - Allows you to capture music or graphics from within other
programs. It handles chip music written by Mad Max, Count Zero, TAO, Big
Alec, Lap and others, as well as MODs produced by Insignia, TCB and
conventional soundtrackers. Degas and Neo pictures can be searched for too.
UTL.3762 AUTOBORT - Allows you to bypass items in the Auto folder after a
reset. AUTOVIEW - Automatically displays an ASCII file called READ.ME on
bootup. You can scroll through the file and Quit to the Desktop when you're
finished. CLIPBRD 1.3 - An implementation of the standard GEM clipboard as
specified by DRI. It allows programs which support it to share data between
each other. It is ideally suited for hard drive or ramdisk use. COLOUR EMU -
Allows you to run some colour programs on a mono monitor. Obviously fast
action games are out but applications are fine. Runs on TOS 1.2 ONLY!
DEMOPATCH - Modifies the bootsectors of any demo using the Carebears
protected bootsector, so that it will run on an STE. ECOPYA - Copies files
to and from Drive A from any other drive. Its strength lies in the fact that
it can split large files between multiple floppies and then recombine them.
EDIT V2.1 - Allows you to edit existing ASCII files or create your own and
add colour to your text. The necessary information to retain the colours
saves out in your file. Useful for editing BBS files or simply jazzing up
your readmes. EPROMDSK - Creates a ramdisk into which you copy up to 128K of
data which you want to put into a cartridge. It then splits the data
correctly into two 64k files ready for burning into the Eproms. Obviously
you need an Eprom programmer to put the end result into the Eproms. ESS
ESSCODE V6.4 - Yet another implementation of the Uuencode/Uudecode protocol
used for converting binary files into ASCII for transmission across systems
like Internet which does not support binary transfer. The software also
converts them back to binary. This implementation is GEM based, Multi-TOS
compatible and very fast. FPU V2.3a - Lets you archive all files in a
specified directory in a single operation. It supports ARC, LZH and ZIP
archivers, although you must have a copy of the relevant archiver program.
Unfortunately it only supports files, not directories. FUJIBOOT PRO -
Displays the Atari logo when you boot up, just like TOS 2.06 upwards.
GEMBENCH V4.03 by Ofir Gal - A comprehensive benchmarking program which
tests your ST/STE/TT Falcon against other models. It can also be used to
test the effectiveness of screen accelerators and such like. This latest
version allows comparisons to be made between more exotic hardware setups
like the PAK 68/3, Gemulator, CaTTamaran, Medusa, Magic Mac and various ST
processor accelerator boards including the T28 and T36. GEM_PS 1.2 -
Displays information on processes running under MINT or Multi-TOS. GMAP -
Displays your hard drive useage graphically. It shows groups of data
clusters and tells you if defragmentation is necessary. JUMP START V2.5 - A
Gem based shell which allows you to select which file to execute, from a
list of 63. Each file description can be up to 20 characters in length.
RAMINIT - Copies specified files into a ramdisk on bootup. What it copies is
determined by the use of a script file. The program can also be used for
carrying out various CLI type commands on files at bootup. STFA V4.0 -
Speeds up text printing (and scrolling) to the screen. It accepts all VT52
commands so is compatible with most software. TITED V0.67 - Displays an
ASCII file in a GEM window in any resolution. You can scroll backwards and
forwards and search. Scrolling is both fast and smooth. English and French
language versions supplied. TT TIME - Checks to see if your TT's realtime
clock is keeping time accurately. If not, the supplied CPX moves your system
clock on by a specified number of seconds at specified intervals to
compensate. TURBO QZ - A replacement for the Desktop's 'Show' command. It
goes into an Auto folder and does not need to be reloaded each time you want
to view a file. It lets you scroll up as well as down.
UTL.3763 UPGRADE PATCHES - The programs on this disk will allow you to
upgrade Diamond Edge from v1.0 to v1.02 or from 1.02 to v1.03. If you
already have 1.03 or later then this disk is of no use to you. Check out
UTL.3767 for more details. Also on this disk is a patch for upgrading
Diamond Back 2 from v2.50 to v2.51. The programs on this disk are only
upgrade patches and are only of use if you have an original of these
programs.
UTL.3764 PINFO - A public domain interpreter for Infocom adventure games,
based on an early version of the InfoTaskForce interpreter. It lets you load
up and play any standard series Infocom games. These can be Infocom games
from other computers and interpreter supports all versions of Z-Code except
v6 (graphical). As well as allowing you to play Infocom games, it also gives
information on the game header, all objects and all vocabulary used in the
game. NOTE:- No games are supplied on disk since they are still covered by
copyright. The main purpose of this interpreter is to allow you to play
Infocom adventures from other machines, which were never released on the ST.
UTL.3765C PONDS & WATERGARDENS by George Butler (Editor of Practical
Gardening) - An excellent guide to designing and building a fish pond or
watergarden inexpensively. It shows you graphically and details in the doc
files, how to build your pond and gives many helpful hints to avoid you
running into snags. Registered users get the author's published book, "Now
That's Ingenious" which contains details on how to save about £50 on the
pump for your pond, as well as covering many other things. NOT TOS 2.06
upwards.
UTL.3766 GER2ENG V3.0 by Carlos Varela - This currently rates as the best
German to English translator available (Aug '93). It has a huge vocabulary
of over 27,000 German words and their English equivalents. You can browse
through its four dictionaries or translate ASCII text files. Once the
translation has finished, simply look up the words (in a German/English
dictionary) which weren't recognised. Double click the word on screen and
enter its English equivalent. The word is replaced and saves out with the
rest of the translation. This program usually manages to translate over 70%
of words in lengthy German text files. Needs 1 Meg.
UTL.3767 UPGRADE PATCHES - The programs on this disk will allow you to
upgrade Diamond Edge from v1.03 and v1.04 to v1.10. If you have a version of
Diamond Edge prior to v1.03, you'll need UTL.3763 as well so that you can
upgrade to v1.03 before running these patches. The programs on this disk are
only upgrade patches and are only of use if you have an original of these
programs.
UTL.3768 CLOCK 2.0 - Probably the best Desktop clock there is. It can be
displayed anywhere on screen in analog or digital form. It has an alarm
facility and can display the date too. If you have an STE, TT or Falcon, it
will chime on the hour too! Everything can be customised to suit. DISKFREE -
Place this program in your Auto folder and it writes a file to your disk on
bootup, showing how much free space is on the disk. DISKSPC V1.07 - Displays
the amount of space used and free on all drives connected to your system.
The statistics are displayed graphically using a bar graph. Supplied in ACC
and PRG formats. DYNARAM V1.01 - Displays the amount of free memory in the
top left corner of the screen. FORMULA 1 ANALYSER V1.4 by Ian Noble - Allows
you to store the results of Grand Prix races and analyse the results
accordingly with regard to current driver and team championship status. It
displays a graphical representation of the driver's results during the
season and can print out results. MASTER BROWSE V4.9+ - Probably the best
document displayer available. It operates within a GEM window and allows you
to search text, set markers, select and print blocks and much more. It's
very fast at loading text and scrolling on screen. It even runs under Multi-
TOS. OH YEAH FILE VIEWER V0.9 - Another file viewer. This one correctly
displays ASCII files from Unix, Mac and ST/PC machines. This viewer has far
less features than many others but is very fast and displays 80 column text
since it doesn't run in a window. Install it as an application, then just
double-click the text file. ZZD ZIP SEA V1.1 - Creates self extracting files
from archives creates with ST Zip or other ZIP compatible archivers. ZZD
FONT V1.0 - A small program which changes the system font. ZMACHINE - Allows
you to play standard Infocom adventures created on other machines on your
ST. It handles the standard text implementation but not the graphic
versions. Similar to PINFO on UTL.3764.
UTL.3850 ARBOOT V3.3 by Binaris - A customised bootsector which sets your
hertz rate on bootup and displays total memory, free memory, the value of
the reset vector and your TOS version. EDISON - An excellent screen
protector which gives you a pleasant fireworks display after a specified
period of inactivity. OFFCOLOUR - Changes the display back to the standard
Desktop colours. Useful when run after programs which mess up the palette.
POVSHELL V2.2 by Racème Production - An easy to use GEM based shell (which
is even Multi-TOS compatible) for simplifying the use of POV Raytrace on
ART.3716 & ART.3717. It allows you to enter all those complex parameters
with simple mouse clicks. PRINT FILE - An ACC which lets you print out a
file from within another application. It is particularly useful for
Postscript printers which take a while to initialise, since it doesn't time
out. RDE V5 - The latest version of MWC ramdisk which is now fully Multi-TOS
compatible. This ramdisk is unique in that it is self initialising (like
partition C of a hard drive) and you can save the entire ramdisk into a
single file. When you next run it, it is restored complete with its contents
just as you left it. REMEMBER 2 - Displays the date and time in the top
right hand corner of the screen. It also has an alarm facility. Trying to
turn the alarm off can be fun! The date/time need to be set before this
program will run. SCROLLING THUNDER - A text file displayer which scrolls
incredibly smoothly using the STE/TT or Falcon's built-in hardware
scrolling. The speed of scrolling is controlled by the mouse and two
different fonts are selectable. It doesn't run on an ordinary ST. SEEKUP -
Allows you to alter the stepping rate of floppy drives on machines with TOS
2.06 ONLY. SLINGSHOT V1.02 - A versatile program launcher. It displays up to
12 files or folders in the current directory and lets you start any program
by simply selecting it from the menu. Slingshot directory information can be
saved in any drive or directory, enabling you to access almost anything with
the minimum of keypresses. TCACHE V6.4 - Caches hard drive reads and writes.
Almost everything is user configurable with different setting being possible
for different drives. Drives can also be password protected to prevent
unauthorised access. THERMOBOOT - Allows you to perform a warm or cold boot
at the click of the mouse. THE ULTIMATE WRITE PROTECTOR - Allows you to
write protect all drives, including hard drives and ramdisks. XTERMINATE
v0.2 by Racème Production - An excellent virus killer from France. It can
use library files created by Sagrotan, Exorcist 2 and The Killer to increase
its recognition statistics. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the
translation.
UTL.3877 3D BUTTON - Gives a 3D look to windows, alert boxes, dialog boxes
and buttons when using MINT (or early versions of Multi-TOS). Later versions
of Multi-TOS have this feature built-in. ARTIFICIAL WIERDNESS v5.0 by George
Pope - Simply feed it with a large text file and it will regurgitate it in a
rather humorous fashion. You'll split your sides with this one! The more
serious the text file is, the funnier it comes out. BFRDBU V1.0 - Backs up
the bootsector, FATs and root directory of your hard drive partitions to a
file on any drive. These can then be restored if anything goes wrong. This
program can be run from an Auto folder to ensure that backups are made every
time you boot your computer. SI DATE V0.1 by Simon Harvey - Simply input a
date (future, past or present) and the program tells you which day of the
week that date falls (fell) on. GREETING V1.03 by Frank Bell - Prints up a
signing on message each time you boot your ST. It can be persuaded to give a
different message, depending on the time of day. ISHAR SURVIVAL KIT - A
collection of hints and tips and maps for the game Ishar - Legend Of The
Fortress. Also included is a character editor for the game, which loads up a
saved game and allows you to edit your character. M DISK V6.94 - A multiple
utility ACC. It allows you to install or remove a ramdisk, copy files to
your ramdisk, format a disk (with extended capacity), get info on any drive
and virus check any floppy. The entire contents of the ramdisk can be saved
back to floppy if so desired. WORKSUPDT - A bug fix for the spell
checker/thesaurus in the American version of Atari Works, which caused
problems on TOS v1.2. TABLE MAKER V2.56 by J Creasey - Allows you to design
and lay out tables for displaying statistical data or such like. You can
enter text, numbers, 3D effects and different borders. Everything can be set
up to your exact specifications and saved in IMG format for use within DTP
programs. Colour only. SPD2EXE by PHF - Converts programs packed with
Speedpacker v3 into completely stanalone files. Colour only. ST DIARY V1.0 -
An excellent diary program which gives you one page for each day of the
year, an eight page notepad, a calendar and the ability to store details of
annual events. What's more, each year is stored in a separate file so there
is no limit to the amount of years which it can be used for. A double sided
disk can store about two years' diary files. ST Diary features on-line help
and automatically copes with leap years. Mono only, needs 1 Meg. RINOU
DOCUMENT DISPLAYER & EDITOR v2.01 - Allows you to create your own rather
slick looking disk based letters. The displayer shows a menu with each item
pointing to an ASCII file on disk. In theory, this means that you could
easily write a long document, organise it into chapters and have the menu
serve as a contents page. Within the displayer, you can page backwards and
forwards, search for phrases, change the colour of the text, switch the
music on or off and so on. Displayer by The Conceptors, editor shell by BSM.
UTL.3878 NEURAL NETWORK CONSTRUCTION KIT by Ian Clarke - This program uses
complex algorithms to create a learning process. Neural networks are
essentially a simulation of the human brain, where each node (or neuron) is
either on or off, depending on the signals received from adjoining nodes.
The system can be forced to learn procedures by repetitive instructions from
control files, with each cycle reducing the potential error level. Numerous
examples and lots of docs are supplied. NNCK TUTOR - A tutorial program
outlining the concepts behind the Neural Network Construction Kit and how to
put the theory into practice. NEOROSIM by C J Matheus and C C Jorgensen -
Another neural network simulation program. This one comes with two example
matrices which can be learned. You can also change parameters to create your
own simulations. ASCIIPIC - Converts any PI2 picture file into ASCII text.
In other words, the graphic is represented by text characters. Stand back
and you'll be amazed by the resemblance to the 'true' picture. CLOCK + by M
Maisey - An analog or digital clock (you choose) which runs in any
resolution. You can have gadgets (close box, full box, window title bar etc)
on or off, set the position on screen and save your preferences. Simply
select the ACC from the menu bar and click inside its window to bring up the
options. There's a Multi-TOS version on disk too.
UTL.3879 FLOPPYSHOP CPX COLLECTION 1 - This disk has taken over a year to
compile and contains no less than 45 CPX files for use with XControl (also
on disk) along with associated docs and PRG files. Not all CPX's will run on
all versions of TOS, but most will. If there's enough interest in this disk,
we hope to produce another, some time in 1994. BCOLOR v1.0 - Lets you set
the background colour for 3D highlights under TOS 4.02 and higher. 3D BUTTON
- Gives a 3D look to windows, alert boxes, dialog boxes and buttons within
these on TOS v4.0 and 4.01. This feature is built in as standard from TOS
4.02 onwards. COLOR VDI v2.1 - Lets you set up the colours of your
preference for the Desktop. CONFIGURE CPX v2.1 - Changes the name, text
colour, icon colour and whether or not a CPX is RAM resident. GENERAL v1.4 -
The first version of this CPX to work correctly on the Falcon. You can
switch the speaker and cache on or off from the same CPX! Keyboard repeat
and response rate as well as mouse double-click speed can be set from here.
It also displays TOS version and free RAM. MACCEL v1.01 - Lets you configure
the MACCEL3 program in your Auto folder. MODEM v1.3 - Configure your RS232
port with this one. You can set the baud rate, parity, flow control etc
here. PRINTER v1.3 - Sets up which port your printer uses, the amount of
pixels per line, printer type, colour or mono etc. SUBMENU v1.0 - Set up the
display, drag, response and scroll delays and height for pop-up sub menus in
programs. WINDOW COLOURS V2.1 - Lets you change the colours and fill
patterns used in GEM windows. SETENV v1.0 - Reads the environment variables
set in GEM.CNF and allows you to add, delete or change them easily with a
few mouse clicks. This CPX only functions under Multi-TOS. DC_MOUSEOMETER -
Measures how far your mouse travels in a session. FILEINFO - Displays file
attributes such as readonly, hidden, archive, fastload and whether it runs
in TT fast RAM. FORMAT - Formats a floppy to normal or extended capacity SS
or DD. Can also format HD disks but only to normal capacity. CALL FSEL -
Calls up a GEM file selector at any time. CLIPBOARD MANAGER v1.0 - Allows
you to set the directory for the GEM Clipboard, clear the Clipboard of its
current contents and specify whether or not it should be cleared when you
reboot. These settings can be saved as default. SHOW COOKIES - Two CPXs by
two different authors, which display the contents of the Cookie Jar on TOS
1.6 upwards. FRAC_DSP - An amazing fractal graphic generator. It generate
fractal graphics on any ST or compatible. A typical fractal takes 84 seconds
to create on an ST takes 8 seconds with the DSP option on the Falcon! It
also supports the 68881 maths coprocessor. Fractals can be zoomed at any
position as well as created from scratch. SAFEMENU - Allows you to change
the behaviour of menus in GEM applications and make them less likely to be
activated by mistake. Menus can be made pull down (as opposed to drop down)
like the Mac, activated by the right mouse button or activated only when the
mouse touches the upper half of the menu. A mouse accelerator is also
included. Requires the Cookie Jar to be installed, so you will need MAKE
COOKIE on UTL.3095 if you have TOS v1.0 or 1.2. TT TIME - Checks to see if
your TT's realtime clock is keeping time accurately. If not, the supplied
CPX moves your system clock on by a specified number of seconds at specified
intervals to compensate. FSOUND v2.1 - Set the volume and the right and left
balance and gain to your preference. SOUND V1.2 - The STE/TT version of
FSOUND. DFREE V1.01 - Displays the amount of free space against total space,
for each drive connected to your system. BIORYTHMS V1.05 - Simply type in
your name, date of birth and today's date for a graph depicting your highs
and lows. Unfortunately what the lines represent is in German! ICON EDITOR
by SDS - Allows you to create your own icons for use in TOS v2.05 upwards.
This version is just a demo so you can't save your work. REVERSI DEMO V1.01
- A restricted demo of the board game. SYSTEM V1.06 - Displays details of
your OS variables, hardware, environment variables, interrupts, bus errors
and such like. VANITY V0.90 - Does nothing more than allow you to put your

for the selected letter of the alphabet. BOOT REGISTER V1.01 - Displays
system time and date. CONFNVDI V1.04 - Allows you to set up options for NVDI
from the Control Panel. SERIALFX V1.1 - Another fix for the RTS/CTS bug in
the RS232 port which causes havoc if using a high speed modem. SPOOL V1.10 -
A printer spooler which can be set up to suit. There's one version for Epson
compatibles and another for NEC 24-pin printers. MULTITOS CONFIG V1.0 -
Switches Multi-TOS on or off and lets you select whether or not to use
memory protection. PS V1.01 - Shows all the processes running under Multi-
TOS. You can view various statistics on each process and change their
priority levels. These last two CPX's will not run unless Multi-TOS is
installed.
UTL.3880C THE DUNGEONEER'S AID by Slipfinger and Amok - These programs are
designed to give a helping hand to those who regularly engage in role
playing games. It lets you generate treasure, armies (both good and evil)
and maps at a few clicks of the mouse. The results can be saved to disk or
printed out. Some options are disabled in this Shareware version. THE VIDEO
MAGICIAN by Slipfinger and Amok - This is an easy to use video titling
program. You can use any font in STOS .MBK format and up to four PI1 or NEO
screens in your sequence. Simply enter your own text in your chosen font and
display it over one of the loaded screens. Text is scrolled horizontally,
vertically, like film titles or simply appearing at a selected position on
screen. You can specify how long each screen is displayed for and can
specify black screens between the pictures, if required. Once you're happy
with your title sequence, save it to disk as a sequence. This can be re-
loaded at any time and recorded onto video tape. Instructions are rather
brief but it's quite straightforward to use.

for 217 ST games. It even has the ability to search for specific cheats and
print them out. THE ULTIMATE CHEAT GUIDE 2 by OB of TRR - A collection of
over 320 cheats for ST games and a hints for a number of ST demos. You have
the ability to search for cheats and print them out. EASY WRITER v1.2 by
Dragon of New Trend - This program allows you to create intro sequences or
letters on disk. The text is displayed multi-coloured (each line uses two
colours and is different from the next) and visual presentation is
excellent. The background can be set to starfields, bobs or both. The colour
and content of the text, path followed by the bobs and much more, can be
customised to suit. You can also load up music files by Mad Max or Music Mon
and play these along with the intro. There's even a built-in font editor.
UTL.3882 1ST VIEW - A viewer program for ASCII and 1st Word text files and
IMG, XIMG, IFF and GEM picture files, as well as a player for sampled sound
files. Picture files can be zoomed in our out or saved as XIMG and RSC files
can be "walked through". You can have as many windows open as memory and
your TOS version permits. DK LABEL V1.0 - This program reads the directory
of a disk and creates a 3.5" label with all the directory information. There
are lots of user options to let you customise the output. Mono only. ENVIRON
- Allows you to set up the Desktop environment for use within shells. It can
be particularly useful since it allows you to keep all your ACCs and RSC
files wherever you like and avoids RSC files not being found and TOS
defaulting to searching Drive C for them. Assembler source included. GEMINI
GOES MAG!X v1.3 - Allows Gemini, the alternative Desktop program, to run
under Multi-TOS, MAG!X and other multi-tasking operating systems. JC
CALENDAR V0.5G - Displays and prints a calendar for any chosen year. You can

the ones provided. Supports printout to 9-pin, 24-pin and HP Laserjet
printers. Lots of user definable options let you customise your calendar to
your own taste. Mono only. MED BOT by Stectre - Installs an executable
bootsector which forces your ST to boot up in med res instead of low. This
forces your Auto folder programs to run in med res too. M LOAD v1.0 -
Displays graphically the amount of processor time being used under Multi-
TOS. High peaks on the graph indicate processor intensive activity. It does
not break down which processes use whatever amount of processor time, it
merely shows the overall load on the CPU. N DESKTOP V1.4 - Lets you change
the fill pattern on the GEM Desktop. Falcon and TT compatible. REBOOT V1.2 -
Waits a specified amount of time and then re-boots your ST to allow time for
your hard drive to get up to speed. Also useful if you need to boot twice
you access your hard drive. POOLSMASTER by David Jenkinson - Yet another
brave attempt to outwit Littlewoods and Vernons! It keeps tabs of results as
far back as you care to go and makes its predictions based on past
performance. The longer you use it, the more accurate it gets. It also
caters for Australian Pools and non-league teams. MENUSYS by David Jenkinson
- A great utility which lets you format or copy disks (with greater capacity
than the Desktop), list or print files in ASCII, binary, hex or decimal,
change file attributes, view disk parameters, set the date and time and much
more.
UTL.3883 COMPACT OFFICE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (COMP) by Tim Appleyard - An
accounting program for the small business. It maintains a name and address
database, an audit trail of all financial movements, a cash flow analysis
and an invoicing analysis. Bought ledger, sales ledger, petty cash book, VAT
day book and all bank account balances are all handled by COMP. It can also
generate statements, invoices, delivery notes and receipts. If that's not
enough, overdue accounts are blocked until payment is received, estimates
can be carried out and just about everything under the sun can be analysed.
The special requirements of garages are also catered for by the program.
COMP is very memory efficient, allowing up to 500 documents and 150
addresses on a 520 and 2700 documents and 500 addresses on a 1040. Although
there are docs for the program in ASCII, 1st Word Plus and Timeworks
formats, there is also on-line help available at all times from within the
program itself. COMP can be password protected and installed on a hard drive
if required.
UTL.3884 ATARI EYES V1.01 - A pair of eyes follow you mouse around the
screen! They always 'look' in the direction you're moving in and can be set
up to suit. AUTOLOAD - Lets you load up selected files at boot up. The
difference between Autoload and other startup programs is that the programs
to be run do not have to be in the Auto folder. BREAKUP - Splits up large
text files. This is useful if you don't have enough memory to load a file.
DIRECT DRIVE V1.0 - Read the directory of a floppy or a hard drive partition
and print or save the listing. The directory can also be printed in a format
suitable for a 3.5" disk label. You can specify the depth of folders to be
displayed and the type of sorting used. There are also a number of helpful
utility functions included. HDINFO V1.1 - Modifies the DESKTOP.INF or
NEWDESK.INF on bootup, to display the amount of free space on the drive,
rather than the drive name. INSDATE - An ACC which (when selected) prints
the current date into word processing documents. Obviously your system date
must be set correctly first! C source included. INSCHAR - An ACC which
bring up the ASCII character table. Simple click onto the required character
and it will be inserted into your document. INTEGRITY V1.0 - Creates a file
which stores information on a program. If at a later date, you think your
program has been tampered with, simply create another integrity file and do
a comparison (a program is provided for this) between the two integrity
files. JONDOS V1.07 - A fast but compact command line interpreter. It uses
Wordstar compatible keyboard shortcuts for editing the command line and can
call up the GEM file selector at any time. You can even subsitute a command
name for one you are more used to using. All commands are fully documented.
LPRINT V1.1 - Prints out a text file to the parallel or serial port. If
using the ACC version, it will print in the background from your WP package.
Very useful if your WP doesn't allow you to print to the serial port. MARROW
by Stuart Coates - Converts mouse movements into cursor key equivalents.
This lets you use the mouse to scroll within WP documents. MOSTHIEF - Lets
you 'steal' the mouse pointer for use in your own C programs or Mouse Ka
Mania on UTL.367. It's obviously only of use if you have a customised mouse
pointer on screen when you activate it! NESS BENCHMARK V1.2 - Performs 5
different tests on your ST and allows you to compare these with its inbuilt
database of results for different hardware setups. It can also be useful for
comparison when screen accelerators etc; are present, to test their
effectiveness. PRGFLAGS by Atari - Lets you alter the fastload bit and set
whether or not a program should use TT fast RAM. SWITCH - An alternative
system font for low and high res. TURBO V7.05 - A fully configurable reset
proof ramdisk and printer spooler. Yes, even the printer spooler's contents
will survive a reset. VIDEO REPLAY V2.0 - This brilliant Shareware program
allows you to load and edit video sequences created using Vidi ST and SAM
digitisers. In fact you can even digitise directly into Video Replay if you
have the Vidi ST cartridge connected. The program also allows you to load
and edit sampled sounds. The samples can be attached to the picture
sequences to make mini films. However, you'll need at least 2 Meg if you
want to include sampled sound in your work. The interface is similar in
style to Microdeal's Video Master and very easy to use. Highly recommended.
Colour only.
UTL.3993 NEO303 - An upgrade patch which will upgraded v3.01 and v3.02 of
NeoDesk to v3.03. Obviously you must have a legitimate copy of NeoDesk
before this program will work. HD FREE v1.2 - A CPX which displays the
amount of space used (and free) on each partition of your hard drive, using
a bar graph. It also displays free memory against total memory. DISK MASTER
3 - A great Shareware utility which lets you log in any two available drives
and perform a variety of functions on the files. You can identify file type,
copy, move, rename or delete files, create or delete directories, perform a
show info on folders, view text files, view NEO pictures and view text
files. Unfortunately Disk Master is colour only. RUNLOW V1.3 - Allows you to
run a low res program from a medium res Desktop. It stores the palette of
the med res screen, switches to low res and runs your program. When you quit
the program, you are returned to med res with your selected palette. It even
lets you double-click a data file and loads up the low res program which
runs the datafile (useful for picture viewers). TIME BANDIT - This program
makes you invincible when playing the game Time Bandit. The doc also gives
you the solution to several of the puzzles within the game. NOT TOS 1.6
upwards.
UTL.4140 CODE V1.05 - A universal code sender which functions as a CPX. It
allows you to quickly and easily send control codes for the almost any
command, to your printer, modem, screen or Midi device. Although a number of
drivers are supplied, instructions are given for creating your own. Thanks
to Robin de la Motte for the translation. SYNERGY DEPACK V2.2 - Another of
those programs which depacks compressed files. Useful if you need to
translate text within a program or want to repack it with a newer packing
program. NEW DEPACK V1.1 by Mike Watson - The successor to Mega Depack on
UTL.3226. This version runs as an ACC, GTP or PRG and there's an optimised
version included for the Falcon. It recognises and depacks 126 different
packed file types and is Multi-TOS compatible. Batch mode allows entire
folders (or drives) to be depacked in a single operation. Simply the best
depacker available. GEMRAM V1.6 - Copies GEM from ROM to RAM. This is
necessary if you want to apply custom patches to GEM such as WINX (on this
disk), ARROWFIX or SHBUF. The current version is TT and Falcon compatible
and now has English docs and messages. WINX V2.2 - Patches GEM in RAM in
conjunction with GEMRAM to give it many of the functions built into Multi-
TOS. Although the improvements are many and varied, it allows you to have
more windows open on the Desktop, patches the AES in TOS versions below 2.0
to fix numerous bugs, patches TOS 1.0 to prevent it from crashing due to a
memory allocation bug, and allows the right mouse button to perform extra
functions on TOS 2.0 upwards. LET EM FLY V1.3 - Allows you move dialog boxes
around the screen with the mouse, implement keyboard shortcuts for button
presses, adds new icons to alert boxes (replacing the drab GEM versions),
lets you view what's under a dialog and lets you switch off grow and shrink
boxes for faster screen redraws. Multi-TOS compatible.
UTL.4141 THE ASTRASOFT COLLECTION - An entire disk of Shareware programs
from Astrasoft. ALIAS v0.5 - Creates small link programs which hold the full
pathname of the program to be run. On TOS 2 upwards, you can even pass
parameters to the program. DESKTRACKER V1.30 - A GEM based MOD player which
runs as a PRG or ACC. What makes it unique is that it can play at up to
25khz on an ST or STE and up to 50khz on a TT or Falcon. It's Multi-TOS
compatible too. DOS2UNIX & UNIX2DOS - Converts ASCII files to and from MS-
DOS (also ST) and Unix (also Amiga) format. Particularly useful if you are
on Usenet or have an ST and an Amiga. HD FREE - Displays the amount of free
space on each partition of your hard drive in both text and pie chart
format. HOURGLASS v1.2 - Turns the 'busy bee' symbol into an hour glass.
IKBD V1.2A - Allows you to enlarge the intelligent keyboard buffer. Handy
for touch typists or anyone else who's fast on the keyboard. INSTDISC V3.0 -
Run this program to initialise Drive B if it was switched on after bootup.
KBD_BELL v1.2 - Replaces the bell sound from the keyboard with a tuneful
piano key. This only works on the STE, TT and Falcon. MINITERM - A VT52
emulator which runs in a window when used with TOSWIN or MINIWIN. OH NO V1.1
- Plays a sound sample each time your computer performs a warm reset. Only
works on the STE, TT. MIDI - Expands the size of the MIDI buffer. Useful if
you have several instruments connected at once. RAUX V1.2A - Expands the
size of the RS232 receive buffer. SAMFLICK - Converts sound samples to and
from signed and unsigned formats. SQUIRT V1.0 - Allows you to send messages
to various devices connected to your system on bootup. STEXT V1.0 - A smooth
scrolling text file viewer for the STE. Mono only. UUENCODE & UUDECODE -
Allows for the conversion of binary files into ASCII (and back again) for
on-line systems which do not support binary file transfer. VERIFY 5 -
Switches off write verify, the keyboard click and the flashing cursor and
sets the printer to 80 columns. WATCH V1.0 - A pair of eyes follow your
mouse cursor around the screen. XAUX V1.2A - Expands the size of the RS232
send buffer.
UTL.4143 AWARD MAKER PLUS - Lets you design your own award certificates.
Your text can be in any of four supplied fonts and around 250 different
styles of certificates are available. Nine border styles are available and
you can enter your own text and import graphics if required. A large number
of printers are supported, including most of the common ones and some 'now
extinct' models. HPJ2PS V0.95 - Converts the 300dpi HP Laserjet output
generated by Cubase into a PostScript file, allowing PostScript users to
print out scores created in Cubase. RDD3 v3.2 - The long awaited followup to
the Revenge Document Displayer. As well as being the fastest at loading and
scrolling documents, this latest version has so many features than it leaves
the rest miles behind. It has retained most of the features of earlier
versions and has had lots of others added. RDD3 allows you to load up to 200
documents at once (memory permitting). The search feature now works
backwards as well as forwards and multiple documents can be searched. Wild
cards can be used to load up multiple documents and archived files can have
their contents listed. RDD3 supports both the ST and IBM character sets and
features on-line help. Highly recommended.
UTL.4144 START IT V3.05 - An very comprehensive boot up configuration for
any ST, TT or Falcon. Start It is based around an adaptation of David
Becker's ZeST interface and uses windows, drop down menus (click on the
menu heading and the menu drops down), buttons and an improved file selector
to make your life easier. Start It also acts as a boot up manager and lets
you select which auto folder programs and ACCs you want to load, from lists
of up to 200 of each! You can have up to 49 customised boot up settings
which can be saved for later use. A picture file and sound sample can be
loaded at boot up too. Start It's many features include keyboard shortcuts,
on line help and a memo feature. A very polished product which is highly
recommended. ROUTE FINDER V2.2 by Brian Henderson - A Shareware electronic
map. This program calculates the distance between any two points on the
British isles. You can specify specific roads to avoid, the average speeds
for different road types and so on. No includes graphic maps showing places
names and route numbers. This version is restricted to calculating routes of
up to 200 miles. Register for the full version. NOSEY II V1.0 - A text
locator. You can specify up to 50 files to be searched for a pecific word or
phrase. All matches can be directed to disk or printer. Nosey II uses
Boolean logic (AND, NOT, OR) to match up the files and paths to be searched.
This program is particularly useful if you have lots of text files on disk
and want to locate a particular article but can't remember which file it's
in. Operates as a PRG or an ACC.
UTL.4145 SUPERCARD 3.13 by Chris Beale - The followup to Supercard 2 on
UTL.412. Supercard is a computerised card index type program. It gives you
the standard features of a normal database program but without the
restrictions on the type or amount of data or length of fields. In fact you
don't need to create fields at all since these are created internally by the
program if and when required. This latest version is much faster, allows up
to 60 macros to be defined, up to 32K of data can be imported, it has a
switchable sort feature and improved security protection, lines can be
justified, verify Save is switchable, protected files can be deprotected
once in memory and there's lots more. Perhaps the fact that there's a 32K
manual on disk will give you some idea of how comprehensive a program this
is. There's a restriction on the number of records which can be entered and
an annoying 'sulk mode' in this version. Register for a modest Shareware fee
to get rid of both! PROFILE V1.5 by Mark Baines - This program is probably
the most extensive system analysis program available. It provides
information on hardware, TOS, memory, screen resolution, disk drives,
operating system header block and basepage, cartridge and control panel
settings, important system configuration addresses, DESKTOP.INF/NEWDESK.INF
settings, vertical blank interrupts, the cookie jar, environment variable
strings, the complete system variables contents and exception vectors. All
data can be printed or saved to disk. RUBRIKS V1.15 - A terminal protector.
If you don't hit a key or move the move within a specified period of time,
the screen gets jumbled up into a sliding puzzle and shuffles around. This
prevents monitor 'burn in' which occurs if the image displayed on screen
remains static for too long. Rubriks can be customised to suit the user and
has a number of extras over other screen savers.
UTL.4146 CORNER SHOP VIDEO V1.95 - A custom designed database which is
aimed at the small video library. It lets you enter details of all films in
stock as well as full customer details. It alerts you if a film is overdue
and you can list all films which are currently out, overdue and due back
today. RUNES by Paul Vincent - This one is beyond me I'm afraid. It looks
similar to fortune telling where rune stones are selected randomly and
interpreted in an effort to solve everyday problems. A fuller version with
more features, printer support and a printed manual is available directly
from the author. VIDEO MANAGER V4 - A customised database for keeping track
of what's on your video tapes. Each file holds details on up to 15 different
tapes and you can use multiple files. It asks for the length and counter
position for each programme on the tape. The space remaining on the tape can
be displayed as a pie chart and you can search through the database for
programme name. CSV and RUNES are colour only. Video Manager runs in colour
or mono.
UTL.4224C THE IMMORTALS FIRST CRUSADE - A collection of 8 programs demo by
The Immortals. DIY DEMO V4 - This program lets you load up a PI1 screen and
display a scrolltext using a number of different effects. You can also have
a sprite bouncing around the screen. The instructions are pretty sparse and
make up the scrolltext of the supplied demo! It's all done by pressing keys
on the keyboard (for sprite control) and entering control codes into the
text for the various scrolling effects. SAFE4MAT - A simple, yet effective
disk formatter. SHOWTEXT - A simple, yet effective ASCII text file viewer.
CUSTOM - Lets you create a customised virus free bootsector for your disks.
MEMCHECK - Displays the values of the system vectors which viruses normally
hook into and tells you whether or not they appear to be clear. PICSHOW -
Two picture displayers which play music and display all the PI1 pictures on
disk, using special effects. DIGICON - Converts an ST Replay or RAW data
file into a 10khz Mastersound format sample. AMIGA EMU - A silly joke based
around an Amiga computer. All programs in the CRUSADE folder are colour
only. MEGAFLI v1.1 by Racème Production - Lets you cut a large file into
several parts for backup purposes or to let you transfer between two
computers (assuming the original is too large to fit onto a floppy). You can
of course re-combine these with the supplied software. Since the suggested
use is for transferring between the ST and PC, both ST and PC versions of
the program are included. WARP 9 UPGRADE PATCHES - These patch v3.72 of the
ST and TT versions of Warp 9, to v3.73 and v3.73 to v3.74. Obviouisly you
need to have an original of Warp 9 v3.72 or v3.73, otherwise the patches
won't work.
UTL.4248 DESKICON - A collection of 200 icons for use with TOS 2 upwards
and another 200 colour icons for use in TOS 4.0 upwards and with Multi-TOS.
There's a fairly extensive doc file and a set of dummy PRG files for you use
to set up the icons on your Desktop (since they don't display correctly
under the Desktop's 'Install Icon' menu). Unfortunately the doc is in
German. These icons are well worth having. LEDPANEL V3.1 - A graphic display
in the top right of your screen indicates reading and writing activity on
any drive connected to your system. It also displays the time and date and
comes with an easy to use configuration program. NBCBSxxx V1.0 - A cache
program with a difference. Simply replace the xxx bit of the filename with
the number of FAT/ROOT and DIR/DATA buffers you require (in terms of
sectors). Requires TOS v1.4 upwards. SHBUF 1.3 - Resizes the NewDesk.Inf
buffers of GEM. The default is 16K (normally 4K) but you can set it as high
as 32K. You then need to copy GEM to RAM using GEMRAM on UTL.4140 in order
to make use of the new settings. For use on TOS 2 upwards.
UTL.4270 KAOSDESK v2.02 by Andreas Krömke - A replacement for the standard
GEM desktop. This program has many of the best features of NEODesk and
Gemini. It is invaluable if you have a hard disk and desirable even if you
haven't. Works in all resolutions, although you might have problems in low
res. An icon editor is included. In my opinion, KAOSDesk has all the best
features of TOS v2 upwards, and more! I can't reccommend it highly enough.
Programs and documents translated by Bob McLeod for Floppyshop. Thanks to
Graham Hinton for fixing a number of bugs in the original KAOSDesk and
adding the printer support (DESKDRVR - see below). This replaces the version
on UTL.393. COMMAND by Joachim Wolf - Command Line Interface with lots of
standard external commands (presumably these can be added to, if you know
how to program the extensions). Tested with all v1.X TOS versions, also v2.5
and KAOSDesk. DESKDRVR by Graham Hinton - Originally designed as a printer
driver for use with KAOSDesk, it has now been updated to work as a
standalone program for sending data to the printer, modem or Midi ports on
all machines up to Falcon030. It requires a minimum resolution of 640x400.
Warning - may not work well under MultiTOS if other programs are running.
UTL.4271 DESKPIC by Michael Zuhl - Yet another Auto program and CPX to
install a Degas mono screen in the background of the Desktop. Mono only.
IMG0300.SYS by Julian F Reschke - A GDOS driver which prints a page to disk
as a 300 dpi IMG file. Just set it up in place of your normal GDOS printer
driver in the ASSIGN.SYS file and reboot. Be warned, a 300dpi A4 page takes
up a lot of space! ORCS (Otto's RCS) by Thornsten Otto - A Resource
Construction Set which claims to be better than WERCS, K-Resource and
Atari's own RCS2. The docs are in both English and German and all menus are
in English. WINSTALL by Wintertree Software Inc. - An automated program
installer. It will install any type of complete software package onto your
system, controlled by a script file. On-screen guidance can be set up for
multi-disk packages, etc. Intended to make installation as painless as
possible for users who may not know quite what they're doing. DISK v1.02 by
Michael Zuhl - A CPX disk utility for use with Atari's Xcontrol on UTL.3879.
It allows you to set the step rate from drives A or B to 2, 3, 6 or 12
milliseconds and switch write verify on or off. You can also park the heads
of your hard drive with it. DIVERSES v1.12 by Michael Zuhl - Another multi-
purpose CPX. It reads the time from your clock card if you have one and
allows you to set up an alarm. It also converts printer codes into Epson
compatible ones and lets you switch between 50hz and 60hz in colour. PING
v1.01 by Michael Zuhl - A CPX which installs a sound sample of your choice
(one is provided) to replace the system bell sound. SON OF WOWBAGGER by
Richard Karsmakers - This ACC will insult as many ST users as possible! For
an explanation of the joke see Chapter 1 of Douglas Adams' "Life, the
Universe and Everything". Many thanks to Robin de la Motte for the
translation of several programs on this disk.
UTL.4272 GOOD by Tidbit Software Engineering Inc - A rather extensive hard
disk backup utility. As well as all the usual functions, it keeps track of
where the data is stored on the backup disks. If one of the backup disks
gets corrupted, it tells you which files you need recopies of! You can even
back up one partition directly onto another. Rather than having docs on
disk, this program has on-line help built-in, making it much more user
friendly than the average program. HTU (Hiscore Terminal Utility) by Richard
Karsmakers - Keep track of all your record-breaking high scores! A database
which keeps track of the date, level achieved and highscore, plus much more.
LOCK-UP by Frazer Clement - A file encoder/decoder. It lets you encode your
files with a 7 character password and they cannot be decoded except by the
same program, using the same password. The program also includes a printer
spooler which runs as a background task. LPAK by Andrew D Webber - A Beta
test version (i.e. use at your own risk!) of data file
compressor/decompressor. It is intended for hard drive use but will run from
floppy. Its function is as a hard drive doubler. Pack all the files on your
disk, then put the decoder program into your Auto folder and the files will
decompact automatically when loaded. Works on data files as well as
executables. MONKEY - Another macro key ACC. You can define up to twenty
keyboard commands from this ACC which may be loaded up as default. Different
sets of macros may be defined as keyboard shortcuts for different programs
and can be loaded up at any time to over-ride the default settings.
SAFESAVER by Robert Fasolt - A screen saver which doesn't affect I/O to
disks, modem, printer, etc. This is particularly helpful if you are
transferring large files by modem or raytracing rather complicated pictures.
TTARTIST by Massimo Farina - A GEM screen saver for the TT030 which can
communicate with other programs via the cookie jar. MULTIDIALOG v1.03 by
Helmut Neukirchen - Puts GEM dialog boxes into GEM windows. Although
intended for MultiTOS, it will work with all TOS versions. The docs are in
both German and English. CHEATS FROM MUG UK - To help you progress further
with Caesar, Crime City, Ishar 2 and Legends of Valour.
UTL.4329 ENGDEUTCH by John Kirk - An English to German translation program.
It will convert any ACSII text file in English to German, allowing a choice
of words if it gets confused. The program is Shareware - register to get a
version which allows you to add to the vocabulary (which is already quite
large). Can be configured to handle ambiguous meanings, and those peculiar
German words which go on and on and on forever with no spaces! What makes
this translator unique is that it employs the use of context, rather than
simply giving a word for word literal translation. Highly recommended if you
need to correspond with Germans.
UTL.4332C VIDEO REPLAY v3.0 by Digital Image - Sound and video sequencing
software. Combine digitised animations grabbed by VIDI ST or SAM, with
sampled sounds to create short mini-movies. It needs the grabber hardware to
create new video data. Includes lots of handy utilities for all those
budding Spielbergs and Bluths out there. Some sample files are included for
you to play with. Realistically needs 1 Meg.
UTL.4369 Calamus Support Disk 4. CFNLIST v2 by Thomas Kerkloh - Takes
selected font files and creates a CDK which lists the entire character set
for the font(s). Only works with Calamus v1.09N. Rather difficult to work
out since the docs are in German, but looks very useful. EPSXCVG by Eine
Computing - Converts between EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) and CVG vector
graphics formats. The EPS must be in Adobe Illustrator 88 format. Will also
work with Adobe Illustrator 88 files - i.e. you need not export the graphic
as EPS first. There are some limitations with this shareware version, but
most graphics should convert. The only thing it can't handle at all is text
strings embedded in the PostScript code. FONTLIST by Don Turnock - If your
collection of Calamus fonts is growing out of control, and you're always
losing some, this program will search your FONTS directory and create lists
of everything you've got. FONTEDITOR HELPER by Sol Guber - Creates new font
styles from existing Calamus font files. This demo version can generate Bold
and Compressed variations. The full commercial version will also do Fatten,
Slant, Rotate (either direction) and Shrink. Other functions are being added
to a wish list. HP_1200C by Lee Mundie - Calamus SL driver for the HP
Deskjet 1200C colour printer. Source code included. CALAMUS FONTS -
Caligraph, Coffee, David, Fifties, Lucifer Bold Italic, Steel Nib, Stiletto.
These are mostly demo fonts used in the CDK files supplied on disk. The
documents supplied are in turn mainly used to display the fonts, although
some use the standard fonts supplied with Calamus and others use
PD/Shareware fonts.
UTL.4370 CF4-WORK - Converts between CardFile4 database files and Atari
Works. Needs the DB_CONV Database File Converter program by Dan Wilga.
Conversion works in either direction. CONVERT by Frédéric Cremer - Converts
a Degas .PI1 picture into an ASCII file. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for
the translation. FILE CATALOG v1.4 by Randy Hoekstra. Keeps track of all
files on a floppy or hard disk. Generates a list of all files, highlighting
any new or amended ones. Also does incremental backups i.e. only files
changed since the last catalog will be backed up. GEN_GDOS by Andy Brown -
Allows display and sample printing of installed GDOS fonts. Works on any ST,
TT or Falcon with GDOS, FontGDOS, FSMGDOS or SpeedoGDOS. Compatible with
MiNT. GLOSS_IT by Patrick Installe - A demo of a Hypertext program. Follow
indexed links in a text file. Keywords, definitions, structure, etc. can all
be daisy chained. This beta version is rather limited, but the proposed full
commercial version will have many more features. HOW_FAST - Tests the
reading and writing speed of any selected drive or partition and displays
the data on screen in graph format. The data can be saved to disk for
further analysis. MONOPACK v1.2 by Shrimp - A mono emulator which lives in
the bootsector! The installation program can write ST or STE versions, or
clear the bootsector. Speed setting can also be varied. One of the best mono
emulators I've seen - very smooth! RESET by Agrajag - Memory resident
program to display a Degas picture and play music on reset. Not Falcon-
compatible. Can be run from the Desktop, or from an AUTO folder. SPECCY by
Hansjoerg Opperman - As the name suggests, this is an emulator for the good
old Sinclair ZX Spectrum. The Spectrum's ROM code is not included. This must
be transferred from a Spectrum with Interface-1 along a null modem cable. A
program to control this from the ST end is supplied. DESKPIC by Norbert
Marschalleck- Allows you to use a Degas, NEO, DOO, PAC, IMG, GIF or TGA
picture of your choice as a backdrop to the Desktop. Numerous example GIF
pictures are included. If the picture is smaller than the screen size, a
pattern is made up from it. Runs in any resolution! Really impressive. 2.5
MEG STE - It is theoretically impossible to mix different capacities of
SIMMs when upgrading an STE's memory. Assuming you have purchased two 1 Mb
SIMMs in order to upgrade to 2 Mb, you can use two of your old 256k SIMMs as
well and get 2.5Mb in total using this small software patch. Different
versions of the MMU chip are fitted in certain STE's so it's not guaranteed
to work on every STE. Thanks to Robin de la Motte for translating a number
of programs on this disk.
UTL.4372 ARJSHELL v0.4 by R J Darling - A GEM shell program for UnArj,
allowing you to extract files packed using this popular PC archiver. The
latest version of UnArj v2.30 is also supplied. CFNTODMF by Eine Computing -
Converts Calamus .CFN fonts to PageStream .DMF fonts. High resolution only.
Will convert to Normal, Bold, Oblique or Bold Oblique styles. Limited in
that larger files (bigger than about 37kB) will not load completely and
converted copy-protected fonts will not work properly in PageStream. EPSXCVG
by Eine Computing - Converts between EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) and CVG
vector graphics formats. The EPS must be in Adobe Illustrator 88 format.
Will also work with Adobe Illustrator 88 files - i.e. you need not export
the graphic as EPS first. There are some limitations with this shareware
version, but most graphics should convert. The only thing it can't handle at
all is text strings embedded in the PostScript code. HCOPY v1.6 by Robert
Weiβ - Extended formatter and copier which also supports High Density
drives. Will format a HD disk to 1.8MB. Can also copy and format 5¼" disks
and format to MS-DOS standard. Many other features. All docs in German.
HICKORY v1.0 by S J Morley - Yet another Desktop clock accessory. Simple and
easy to use. Includes an alarm. SELECTRIC v1.10 by Stefan Radermacher - Not
just another replacement File Selector. Includes every file selector
function you can think of, then adds a couple more! Also included is an ACC
and CPX to call Selectric from the Desktop. All Desktop functions like copy,
move, rename etc. can be carried out within Selectric. An excellent piece of
Shareware. TWO-IN-ONE v1.51e by Gregor Duchalski - An archiver shell which
supports the ARC, ZIP, LHZ, ZOO and ARJ archivers. It is similar in
operation to the GEM shell used in ST ZIP and is fully compatible with
Multi-TOS and other multi-tasking operating systems.
UTL.4378 NATION X UTILITY DISK 2 - Over 150 utilities on this disk. 5
accessories, 3 disk copiers, 4 unpackers, 13 packers, over 100 assorted
small utilities and goodies too numerous to mention. Includes the POV
Bootsector creator, RAM disks, AUTO utilities and TOS fix patches, many
DoubleClick programs, formatters. You name it, it's here. A massive
collection of some of the best PD and Shareware utilities around.
UTL.4379 BUBBLE BOOK by Armin Hierstetter - An ACC mainly for the ST Book,
but it will run on any other Atari machine. If you keep losing track of the
mouse pointer, this will put a little flashing "I'm Here!" speech bubble at
the pointer when you press the right button. Works in all standard
resolutions, and probably all the TT and Falcon resolutions as well. Also
handy if you use a large screen. CPX_BUILD - A programming utility to enable
CPX modules to be created (relatively) painlessly. C source code included,
and some sample CPXs. DCSEA v2.0 by Paul W Lee - Convert any archive in ARC,
LZH, ZIP or ZOO into a self-extracting program. Using DC SEA you can also
view the archive contents or restore the original non-executable archive
file. Some problems with ZIP files using the new (from v2.0 onwards) DEFLATE
option. DCXTRACT v2.1 by Paul W Lee - A GEM shell to control adding,
creating, extracting and maintaining any archive in ARC, LZH, ZIP or ZOO
format. Some problems with ZIP files using the new (from v2.0 onwards)
DEFLATE option. Not Falcon compatible. DM2WORKS by Randy Hoekstra - Converts
Data Manager database files to Atari Works database files. Full instructions
included. FUZZYCLOCK v1.14 by Stefan Radermacher. A Desktop clock accessory
with a difference. Puts the time on the right end of the menu bar, to the
nearest 5 minutes, in English, German, dialect or Dutch! Translated by Robin
de la Motte. FLOP-FIX: by Harun Scheutzow - A TOS patch for TOS v2.06, 3.06,
4.01, 4.02 and 4.04 which replaces the Getbpb routine for floppies, allowing
them to correctly read and write disks with 12-bit and 16-bit FATs as used
by MS-DOS v5 and v6. It also fixes three other bugs present in these TOS
versions. Translated by Robin de la Motte. STOS FIXER V3.0 by Robert Quezada
- This program fixes all STOS programs that we've come across so that they
run correctly on TOS versions up to v4.04. Please note that fixed programs
only run on your own TOS version and no others. This is NOT a universal
fixer program. TUW-TCP/IP by Peter Meyer - A network utility to enable your
computer to become a part of any TCP/IP network as an independent host. Full
docs and configuration instructions. Telnet and FTP is supported and other
Internet services are promised. Not a project for the beginner! If you know
UN*X already, it'll help with this.
UTL.4408 ASCGIF v1.6 by Oliver Klink - A GIF viewer with a difference. It
converts the GIF into an ASCII-art form where ASCII characters are used to
simulate the light and dark tones within the picture. EAZIARC v1.1 by Andrew
Bowden - A simplified, cut-down version of a standard archiver shell. It
supports ARC, LHarc, STZIP and ZOO. Only two functions, (A)dd and e(X)tract
are supported. Makes things easier if you're confused by all the obscure
options most archivers offer! You will need the complete archiver programs
to use EaziARC. MCFORMAT PLUS v2.2 by Andrew Bowden - A really smart looking
disk formatter which plays music in the background as you format. It
supports extended formats and 29 different music formats. The only
restriction is that music files should be under 12k in length. Two sample
files are supplied. Colour only. ISHAR EDIT by Pele - A character editor for
the adventure game. Virtually all character attributes can be tweaked.
McPIN9 v1.0 by Andrew Bowden - An AUTO program to allow printing graphics on
9-pin printers. It configures GEM so that it can talk to an Epson compatible
9-pin instead of the default Atari SMM804 printer i.e. the full width of the
screen can be printed out. McARCX v1.2 by Andrew Bowden - An automatic
archive extractor. Works with ARC, LHarc and ZOO files. Needs the complete
archiver program as well. Similar to EaziARC, but with no (A)dd function.
McBOOT v1.01 by Andrew Bowden - Installs a bootsector program on a floppy
disk which will allow you to set the clock, have a password, configure the
printer or set/remove the keyclick. McCLOCK v1.2 by Andrew Bowden - An AUTO
program to allow clock setting if you don't have a built-in clock or clock
cartridge. The accessory version is also included. McDiskInfo by Andrew
Bowden - A STOS accessory which displays information about the disk in the
current drive. All the usual stuff such as no of sides, no of tracks,
sectors per track and total sectors on disk. McDISK v1.2 by Andrew Bowden -
A handy little STOS accessory. It allows you to change current drive,
display free space on drive, create folders, rename or delete files, and
print out directory listings. Colour only. McFORMAT v2 by Andrew Bowden - A
disk formatting program, similar to McFormat Plus, but without music.
Supports extended formats. Colour only. McSTOS v1.0 by Andrew Bowden - A
handy utility which supports file handling, prints directories, performs a
simple virus check, sets the date & time, checks free memory, checks free
disk space and shows system info. It can be run as a STOS accessory or a
stand alone program. NOAHDI by Ted Schipper - A hard disk driver compatible
with AHDI v1.7. Supports 2 drives per controller and up to 8 controllers.
Full C source code included. Not for beginners or the faint-hearted! ACCUtil
v1.21 by Andrew Bowden - An accessory with 6 functions:- delete, rename and
timestamp files, set clock, format disk, and create folders. All this only
takes up just one accessory slot. Please note: Most of the MC Computer
titles do not run on TOS 2 upwards.
UTL.4410 DARKLORD V3.10 by Steve Pedler - A modular screen saver program,
similar to "After Dark" on the PC or Macintosh. More flexible than most
other screen savers, in that it draws directly to the screen using the VDI.
Many modules are included and there's a Construction Kit and source code (in
C) to build your own. Will run on any ST/STE/Falcon and should be OK on a
TT. Compatible with large screen monitors, MultiTOS and Geneva. DESKFX - A 3
in 1 program to give a Desktop background picture, an animated mouse pointer
and new screen fonts. FILECAT V1.4 by Randy Hoekstra - Helps you keep track
of changes to the contents of floppy disks and hard disk partitions.
Contents lists can be created and printed and "delta" lists of any new,
changed or deleted items can be maintained. Incremental backups can also be
made of any new or changed items. A "must have" for anyone with a hard disk.
BOOT60Hz v1.0 by Mårten Lindström - Changes the low/med res screen from 50Hz
to 60Hz display. Also includes MEGA60HZ for the Mega STE. Runs from Auto
folder or the Desktop. It can also install a bootsector on floppy disks
which performs the switch at boot up. WARNING - DO NOT INSTALL THIS
BOOTSECTOR ONTO AUTOBOOTING GAME DISKS! May not work on some older TV
models, but should be OK on any colour monitor. TANDEM V1.0 by Mårten
Lindström - If you have two floppy drives, this utility will combine thhem
into one "virtual" drive. Useful for games and programs which don't
recognise or use a second drive. Designed for the game "Spirit of
Excalibur", but should work with any game or program using standard file and
disk formats, i.e. not reading/writing directly to the disk using BIOS or
XBIOS calls. May have problems if files/folders have the same name on both
disks. MULTI SHEN V1.0 by STectre - An accessory which records anything sent
to the printer/RS-232/MIDI/console/keyboard and sends it to another device
of your choice. Can also make multiple copies, e.g. to the printer. MNILU
v2.0 by STectre - A Shareware compiler for GFA Basic v2 programs. Can't
create accessories or Auto-running programs. Some limitations on normal
compiler functions, and can't produce fast or small final programs. Some
programs may run out of memory on machines with less than 1 Meg of memory.
TOMS by T A King - The Observer Menu System is a shell for The Observer
document viewer. Sets up your own menus to load frequently used text files.
The Observer is not included. GREPIT V2.01 by Hermann Wierl - A GEM based
Shareware implementation of the Unix utility Grep. Its purpose is to search
for matching patterns or ASCII strings within files. The program is very
extensive and includes its own built-in on-line help. On of its main selling
points is its ability to search through files which are larger than
available memory. GHOSTLINK V1.02ß - Allows you to connect up a PC (in fact
up to three PCs) to your Atari and address it as a slave device. In simple
terms, this allows you to access any data on the PC's storage devices
(floppy drives, hard drives, CD-ROM, Syquests etc) and read the data
directly into the Atari as if that drive were connected to it. A possible
use might be to load a picture from a CD-ROM drive on the PC directly into
GEM-View for conversion and then save it out onto your Atari hard drive. The
possibilities are limitless! You will require a null modem cable to connect
the two machines together. The PC software required is also included.
UTL.4411 CV-TRANSLATOR v3.0 by Carlos Varela - A language translator
similar to ENGDEUTCH on UTL.4329. Based on an older program called GER2ENG,
this version is entirely GEM-based. Currently supported languages are
English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portugese. Only very small
sample dictionaries are supplied with this Shareware version. Register for
$20 to get the full 30000 word German to English dictionary. Other
dictionaries are in preparation. DD2UPD0A by Keith Gerdes - Patch kit for
Data Diet v2.0 to upgrade it to v2.0a which fixes some bugs in v2.0.
DD2UPD10 by Keith Gerdes - Patch kit for Data Diet v2.0a to upgrade to v2.1.
Also upgrades other applications in the Data Diet suite of programs. This
fixes some bugs and improves multitasking when using Geneva and MultiTOS.
For both these items you must of course have an original of Data Diet v2.0.
GENEVA003 - Updates Geneva to release 003 (v1.02). Improved features include
SpeedoGDOS font handling, wildcard file selection, window handling and some
minor bug fixes. This is a patch kit only, not (unfortunately!) the complete
Geneva package. HDDIRECT v2.11 by Andrew Pirts - File management proogram.
If you've ever seen XTREE running on a PC, this is similar. It allows
mouse/hotkey launching of programs, file search, copy, delete, etc. Intended
to make hard disk operations easier, but works happily on floppy disks too.
Very smooth and easy to use. HDWBOOT by Jelske Kloppenburg - Installs a
bootsector on your boot floppy disk to allow your ST to be switched on while
the hard disk is still spinning up. Normal bootup is delayed until the hard
disk is ready to continue. SETKBD v2.2 by Damien M Jones - Reset-proof
program to set the keyboard clock. Useful if you don't already have a
hardware clock, or a cartridge such as Forget-Me-Clock.
UTL.4412 AUDIO-BASS v1.0 by James Tilbury - Do you have a record/tape/CD
collection so big you can never find anything in it? This simple Shareware
database is what you need. Only really useful for this one function, but
simple to use without being overcomplicated by unnecessary extras.
BLITZSCHNELL CLI v0.4ß by Erin M. Monaco - A very much cut down version of
Blitzschnell on UTL.3723. It takes up only 10K of memory and is intended for
use from a CLI. The program is an exceptionally fast hard drive defragmenter
and optimiser. Valid drive options are C-P, so it will not work on floppy
disks. Note that this is a Beta version, so it may misbehave. CDROM -
Atari's Falcon compatible (works on the ST/E and TT too) CD-ROM driver for
Multi-TOS. Place in the root directory of your boot partition and away it
goes. You can specify the drive letter and SCSI ID number. Please note that
this driver ONLY runs under Multi-TOS (or other similarly structured multi-
tasking operating systems). GRAMMARIAN V1.1.0 by Dan Panke - A grammar
checker for text files. Postcardware (if you like it, sent the author a
postcard). Allows you to edit the checks made and to include your own.
Doesn't seem to be as powerful as the sort of dedicated checker included in
some word processing programs, but it is just as annoying! HDFREE PRO v2.0
by Paul Vermeulen - Displays hard drive statistics i.e. free space, number
of files and folders, etc. Reports can be printed out. MANVIEW by Ulrich
Kuehn - A Shareware UN*X-style manual displayer program. Designed for use
with MiNT or MultiTOS. MAUS-WINDOW v1.32 by Thomas Binder - Automatically
"tops" the window under the mouse pointer. Also works under MultiTOS. Can
run either as an Accessory or by double-clicking from the Desktop by
changing the extension. MOVIES AT NIGHT V1.1 - An extendo-save module for
use with Codehead's Warp 9 screen accelerator. It allows you to replay
animations when screen blanking is being performed with Warp 9. Two example
movies are included. Please note that you require Warp 9 v3.7 or later in
order to use this module. POOLROOM MANAGER by John Fermor - A pool league
maintennance program. It differs from other league table programs of this
type in that it handles the actual match data. This means that you will
always have an accurate league table on disk and can call up any match for
analysis at a later date. Well presented with a custom written graphical
interface, this program has lots of features including the ability to remove
any team from the league and adjust the rest of the league appropriately.
Numerous sort options are available for the league table and the scoring
system can be user defined if so required. Highly recommended for everyone
involved in competition pool. PGS_CFG v1.0 - Allows you to reconfigure your
Pagestream import/export driver setup easily ng simple mouse clicks. MASTER
PRINT V1.0 by ESS - A cut down printing module from Master Browse. It can be
installed as the default file printer and can queue up files for printing.
Master Print operates within a GEM window and allows other programs to run
while it is printing. Fully Multi-TOS compatible.
UTL.4429 XLATOR V2.1 by Gair Shields - An excellent foreign language
translation program which contains over 27,000 German to English
translations. The code has been optimised for the 68030 processor (BUT
REMAINS COMPATIBLE WITH THE 68000) and the program is fully Multi-TOS
compatible. The program has inbuilt support for several languages but only a
German to English dictionary is supplied at present. A number of other
utilities are included for updating and maintaining your dictionary files.
This latest update also lets you translate from English to German too!
UTL.4491, UTL.4492 & UTL.4493 THE SUPERCARD 3 BIBLE COLLECTION - This
three disk set contains the complete texts of The Old Testament and The New
Testament (King James V edition) as well as the unregistered version of the
top selling card filing system Supercard 3.12 from B.Ware Software. Unlike
other bible collections, this one has had every chapter and verse checked
for accuracy and completeness. The database is huge (around 4.5 Megabytes)
and must be decompressed onto 7 DS floppies or a hard drive. Users with
plenty of memory can merge the data into two or three files to enable fast
cross referencing throughout the bible. However, these merged files can only
be saved with the registed version of Supercard 3 (£10 from the author).
Another program is provided to allow you to save out the text in 1st Word or
ASCII formats although we're sure you'd rather use Supercard 3! This is an
excellent compilation for clergymen, historians and scholars and
demonstrates Supercard to its full potential. What's more, loading the
largest data file from hard drive takes only a few seconds as do searches
across the entire text!
UTL.4533 VECSHOW - Displays system vectors which have been altered since
you switched on your computer. Probably best run from a CLI as the output
simply scrolls up the screen and then the program exits. VOL V1.09 by
Roland Waldi - Allows you to alter the volume label of an drive including
hard drive partition. It also removes control blocks to get around the 40
folder bug and gives information on the disk format and other vital
characteristics. Output can be sent to an ASCII file. VOLUME by Murray
Levine - A GEM based program where you simply click onto the appropriate
drive letter and enter the volume label you want to write to it. Works on
drives A to L. VOLUME LABEL UTILITY V2 by Erin Monaco - A volume labeller
with a difference. It is set up in such a fashion that you can increment the
disk name or extension each time you put a new disk into the drive (i.e.
UTIL0001.DSK or UTILITY.001). What's more, you can specify the part of the
label to be incremented and specify the starting number. UNSIT v1.5 -
Extracts files from archives created with the Macintosh program Stuffit.
Includes limited compatibility with later versions of Arcshell. SYSINFO
V2.10 by Toad Computers - Produces an ASCII listing giving comprehensive
information about your system. It looks at such things as TOS version, AES
version, memory, GDOS info, CPX info, Cookie jar contents, resolution, TSR's
and lots more. It also tests your fax modem if you have one. MINZ_EXT - Four
extension modules for Codehead's Warp 9 screen accelerator. Not exactly sure
what they do as I don't have Warp 9! OPTRONIX INTRO CREATOR V1.0 - A great
intro creator for non-programmers. Load up the creator program and specify
the font, music, picture and text file required. It then saves out
everything in a data file and writes a loader program to an Auto folder.
Reset your ST and there you are, your own custom written intro. It's as easy
as that. Several fonts and tunes are included. Colour only. GOAL CHEAT by
Stuart Ayton - Unlike the Goal! team editor which is supplied with the game,
this program allows you to alter players' attributes. It also allows you to
have up to 14 players on the bench, although only two subsitutions are
allowed. BUBBLEBOOK - Designed specifically for the ST Book or large
screens. If the mouse pointer disappears, just press the right button and a
'speech bubble' will pop up to show you the location of the mouse pointer.
UTL.4534 ZORG V2.08 by Ludovic Rousseau - A Shareware disk sector editor
which is GEM based and allows multiple files to be edited simultaneously in
different windows. As well as allowing you to edit disk sectors, it can also
optimise hard drive partitions. Extended file systems such as Minix or Mac
partitions are not supported but you can access individual files on them if
the appropriate driver has been loaded prior to ZORG. Some of ZORG's
features are quite advanced and include the ability to change a directory or
FAT entry directly. The ability to check the file structure for any given
disk or hard drive partition, and repair it if necessary, is undoubtedly one
of this product's major selling points. On-line help is available by way of
ST Guide (UTL.5557) help files. Probably the best disk editing tool
available.
UTL.4535 A2LSWTC2 - Converts LHArc archives to ARC format and vice versa.
Really useful if you like to have all your files archived in the same
format. Obviously you need both the archivers as well, in order to use this
conversion utility. ARC2LZH3 - Allows you to convert entire directories of
LHArc archives to ARC format and vice versa. You can also extract the files
from the archives, test archives, list their contents and create self
extracting LZH files or convert self extracting LZH's back into normal
archives. You obviously need the relevant archivers and self-extracting
conversion programs as well. ARJPACK - A nice easy to use version of ARJ,
one of the common packers on the PC. Although there's an Unarj program on
the ST, this is probably the first to create ARJ archives. F_SCALE - A Handy
ACC for use with Calamus. It allows you to accurately re-size frames by
calculating the new height or width, based upon the original size. The
benefit of using this over the proportional resize icon is that it retains
details of the original proportions just in case you need to revert back to
them. PS CAPTURE V1.0 - Redirects the output from the GDOS PostScript driver
supplied with Timeworks (and probably other applications too), to a disk
file. This enables you to take the disk to a bureau for high quality
results. JCCFNVUE - Displays Calamus fonts to the screen. This allows you to
search quickly through your font collection and decide which font you
require. Mono only. MAG!X FIX by Ofir Gal - A patch program for Mag!X v2.01
to enable it to be used with Hisoft Basic, Lattice C and Devpac. SPEEDOM - A
multi-tasker's speedometer. It shows how fast your system is running under
any chosen multi-tasking system, when compared to its usual speed. CREATIVE
TITLES 2 by Justin Orton - A Shareware video titling program. Load up your
own pictures and create a sequence by using various effects to fade between
them. As regards recording them to video, the author has thought of that too
and gives you all the information you need to make up the necessary lead.
This latest version supports picture in picture, full loop control, built-in
real time timer, an instant view option, 80 frame-style sequences, lots of
new effects and much more. Creative Titles includes everything you need to
create those impressive intro sequences for your home videos (except an art
package and a video recorder of course!). Needs 1 Meg, colour only. NOT TOS
2 upwards.
UTL.4536 HP DESKJET/LASERJET SUPPORT DISK 2 - Another collection of useful
utilities for owners of Hewlett Packard printers. BOOKER - Prints out text
files using a small font and printing 4 pages to each A4 sheet. The pages
are printed in such a manner so that when you collate and fold them, they
will all be in the correct order. DJBOTH V1.6 - Allows you to print an ASCII
file using both sides of the paper. It automatically selects the appropriate
sized font and page orientation in order to minimise paper consumption.
DJBOTH will also allow you the option of printing your text using two
columns and can produce A5 size booklets in much the same manner as Booker.
HARLEKIN 500 - Two printer drivers which allow you to use the Deskjet 500's
internal fonts and apply various supported print options to your text. With
them, you can apply bold or italic attributes, wrap around characters which
fall past the edge of your paper, print foreign characters, perform a self
test, perform a reset and so on. In addition, you can use the two inbuilt
fonts at two different sizes. You need the desk accessory Harlekin in order
to make use of these drivers. HP2XX - Reads in an HPGL ASCII source file and
converts it to Metafont, PCL (for use on Deskjet), PostScript, IMG or PCX
format. Rather tricky to use, but it does the job. JETEMU V1.1 - A page
preview program for Deskjets. It displays a PCL III file from disk to the
screen in sections. It is handy for error checking before sending your data
to the printer. Also, if the Deskjet misbehaves, it is more than likely due
to corruption in the file and this program makes it easy to track down what
part of your file is corrupt. MINIPRINT - Yet another of those programs
which attempts to squeeze as much print onto a sheet of paper as possible.
It supports two column printing, landscape printing, line numbering,
headers, user tab settings, setting of top and bottom margins, different
fonts and point sizes and much more. OUTBURST - Speeds up printing to HP
printers by a factor of as much as 20 to 1! Written by the author of FPPRNT,
it even beats that incredibly fast patch. It also reduces the time taken by
PageStream to print a page from 301 seconds down to just 14! This is an
evaluation demo and you really need to order the full version for regular
use. PRHP V1.2 - Allows printing in various modes in portrait or landscape
formats. You can have up to 154 characters across the page in portrait mode
and up to 204 in landscape. Up to 120 lines per page can be printed in
portrait mode and up to 84 in landscape. Numerous other options are also
available. HPACCS by V Illich - A collection of useful programs all by the
same author, some of which are specific to HP printers and others which are
not. PASSWORT - Protect any drive from unauthorised access using this
password protection program. SHUTZ - A terminal protector program for mono
monitors. SPOOLER - A printer spooler which also allows you to convert
printer codes to suit your printer. ST DESK - A boot up utility which lets
you save configuration files for different setups. Oddly enough, it runs as
an ACC. ZEITANZ - A Desktop clock which displays in the top right of your
screen. HP_HARD - Allows you to perform screendumps to a Deskjet/Laserjet at
sev eral different resolutions up to a maximum of 300dpi. P6_TO_DJ - An NEC
P6 emulator for the Deskjet. Yes you can print graphics at 360 dpi with this
one! An invaluable program if you have an application which does not have a
Deskjet driver. Please note that this is not a complete implementation as it
only emulates the P6's graphic commands. HP_PRINT - Gives you access to all
the Deskjet's capabilities including small font sizes, landscape printing
and two column printing. AUTOBUP - Allows you to archive hard drive backups.
It doesn't carry out the backups themselves, merely archives them. You need
a copy of your preferred archiver to use this program. MINIDESK - Lets you
create your own Desktop icons and place them on the Desktop. A sort of cut
down version of Terradesk or KAOSDesk.
UTL.4537 68017 - A 68020 emulator for the ST! It emulates 30 of the
commonest instructions used by the 68020 and later processors. It will NOT
run TT or Falcon programs but what it will do is allow programmers to test
code for the 68020 (within certain limitations) without having to buy a new
processor. Source code in Turbo Assembler format is included. BARCODE -
Generates barcodes using a Panasonic video recorder and barcode readers. The
docs are in German so it's difficult to work out just how it operates. RMS
BOOT V1.21 - A read only control panel. It lets you set the time and date,
displays free RAM, includes a built-in 'Mousetrap', change the Desktop
colours and alter all the usual parameters like RS232 and printer settings.
What makes it so different from CONTROL.ACC is that it only takes up 5K of
RAM. FONT INFO V1.0 - Displays information such as font name , ID number,
point size, DPI, spacing etc; for all GDOS fonts in a specified directory.
GHOST - This program eases the pain in transferring to and from Macs on
emulators prior to Spectre GCR. It converts Aladin, Spectre Macintosh MFS
disk formats to and from each other. Assuming that you don't copy a disk to
a format with a lower capacity, the program works well. In fact you can
often get away with using smaller formats if the source disk is not full!
ICONMAN V0.6 - This program contains a library of over 2500 Desktop icons
for use in TOS v2 upwards. You can import your own icons from RSC files or
export your chosen selection in RSC format. Please note that this is not a
icon editor, merely a 'database' of icon from which you can import and
export RSC files to your own requirements. ID EDIT by Charles Johnson -
Allows you to view and alter the ID number associated with any GDOS font.
This program is vital if you want to use two fonts which currently share the
same ID number. TX2FMT - Allows Z*Net disk mags to be reformatted into the
TX2 format. It has been tried with various issues of Z*Net and works with
most. It allows you to have bold text, coloured text and the likes in your
ASCII file.
UTL.4538 PEEKABOO V1.7 - A file viewer which runs as an ACC or PRG and lets
you browse through ASCII or binary files in a GEM window. Searches can be
made on text or for ASCII characters within a binary file. STARJET.CDT - A
Starjet SJ-48 printer driver for Calamus. ZIP24QWK - Removes the lengthy
pause after loading ST Zip v2.4. This patch is only of use for v2.4 of ST
Zip. Other versions do not have this problem. ASCDRAW v1.52 - Allows you to
create boxes and line drawings as used on the PC or on BBS screens. What
makes it so flexible is that you can superimpose the boxes over an existing
text file and you can cut out your creations as blocks and perform most of
the usual block functions found in art packages. ICONEDIT V3.0 by Stefan
MÜnch - A powerful icon editor for creating or editing Desktop icons for TOS
2 upwards, mouse pointers or sprites. It has all the usual drawing tools and
is supplied with 46 ready made icons. Icons can be imported from RSC files
or loaded in ICO format. Although TOS puts a limit on the size of icons,
Iconedit allows massive icons to be edited, almost up to the size of the
screen! The program and docs are German but its operation is easy to get to
grips with. FIXER V1.3 by David Trudgian - Fixes the medium res (or lack of
it!) bug in TOS 1.6. SORT by Leo de Wit - Sorts ASCII files into
alphabetical order. Numerous parameters may be specified, allowing the user
extensive control over the process. Best run from a CLI. VERSADIR by D W
Binnion - A directory printer program which can send output to screen, disk
or printer. You can have it print the directory of a specified drive or
folder and can choose whether or not the contents of sub-folders are
required in the print out. TOPICON4 - Changes the menu line on the Desktop
to say what you want it to say (instead of Desk File View Options)!
UTL.4539 EASYDAT v1.2 - A fast, easy to use GEM based database. It holds as
much of the data file in memory as possible, thus speeding up search times
dramatically. The program is in English but the docs are German. We've run
them through a quick translation to give you an idea how to get started.
TOCANTE - An ACC which displays a large digital clock in a moveable GEM
window, which can be positioned on screen to suit. Includes source code in C
and GFA Basic. PRIMA V2.1 - Yet another GEM based shell designed to make POV
Raytrace much easier to use. This one supports both POV v1 and v2. SPRINT
v1.2 by Kelvin Unsworth - A handy printer spooler which speeds up output to
most printers in much the same manner as FPPRINT, except that it operates as
a sooler too. Most spoolers send just one byte per interrupt which generally
slows down output as the printer can usually run much faster Sprint can send
up to 1000 bytes per interrupt, thus speeding up output dramatically. Almost
everything in Sprint can be configured to suit your own system setup.
SALVAGE - Locates ASCII text on the sectors of a disk and lets you re-save
them elsewhere. Its purpose is obviously to allow you to recover ASCII or WP
text files from a corrupted disk and it works well, too. LUCKY LOTTO NUMBERS
- A random number generator with built-in database for lottery numbers.
Although it is set up for the Texas lottery, several common lottery formats
are supported. It keeps track of about 1000 lotteries and analyses the
frequency with which certain numbers come up. STRINGS - Extracts all ASCII
strings terminated by a zero byte from the data segment of any program file.
Useful for translating programs or finding cheat modes.
UTL.4540 OCR v1.4D by Alexander Clauss - An optical character recognition
program. It reads in IMG files created by scanners and converts any text
within them into ASCII so that it can be saved to disk and edited within
your favourite word processor. You are prompted to enter the ASCII
equivalent of any letter not recognised and these are built up into
libraries for future use. This means that the next time you encounter that
letter in the document, it will be recognised. By saving libraries at the
end of each session, character recognition will be much faster next time as
OCR will already 'know' the relevant font. Where a font is such that it is
difficult to tell certain characters from each other (eg: 1 and l) you can
instruct OCR to guess the correct character based upon the other characters
surrounding it. This is a very powerful program which is on a par with many
commercial offerings, yet it is easy to understand and a joy to use.
Obviously you will need some sort of mono scanner in order to scan the text
you intend to use. OCR will run on a 1 Meg system but some scans may be too
large to load without additional memory. On-line Help in ST-Guide (UTL.5557)
format. Very highly recommended.
UTL.4541 GEMSPOOL V3.3 - A printer spooler with a difference. Rather than
set aside an area of memory to 'feed' the printer, it actually writes the
file to disk and feeds that to the printer. The benefit is that very little
memory is consumed and the spooler obviously survives a system crash. This
Shareware version has several limitations. Well worth registering. DUNGEON
MASTER/CHAOS STRIKES BACK EDITOR by Simon Oke - An editor program which
allows you to change character data and game data from saved game files, CSB
prison saves and the DUNGEON.DAT and MINI.DAT files. This is a major re-
write of an earlier version but only works with the first version of both
games i.e. the Mirrorsoft versions, not the Psynosis compilation versions.
SUPERVIEW V1.12 by STectre - A file displayer which can be used to replace
the Show/Print/Cancel option from the Desktop, installed as an alternative
file viewer or run as an ACC. In addition to displaying ASCII text, it can
also show Degas, NEO and Spectrum 512 picture files. There's lots of other
advanced features like virus checking and playing sample files on the STE
and TT!
UTL.4586 CACHE OUT - Switches off the cache on a Mega STE, TT or Falcon if
run from an Auto folder. You can switch the cache on and off to suit if run
as an ACC. HOUSEKEEPER by ETC Software - A home accounts program from New
Zealand. It supports up to 30 different household accounts, 6 bank accounts
and 6 credit card accounts. The system is geared towards the analysis of
accounts over a period of time rather than as an accounts payable system. It
will also act as a cheque account balancer, deducting cheques written but
not yet cashed. Extensively documented on disk. Full GFA v3 source included.
BRINDLEBEAST VIDEO CATALOGUE V1.2 - A dedicated video database from New
Zealand with short reviews of over 600 films to suit all tastes. They are
listed alphabetically and are therefore easily located. If your favourite
film is not reviewed, then write your own review and include it in the
database. Full instruction on how to do this are given in the NOTES file.
Well worth getting hold of if you regularly hire out videos or are a regular
cinema-goer. VGA SIMU v1.05 - A VGA emulator for a TT with a TTM195 high
resolution mono monitor. The TT requires a special monitor (the TTM195) in
order to use TT high resolution (1280x960) but that monitor cannot be used
to display the TT's other resolutions. In order to do this, you would
normally require a VGA monitor. This program allows the TTM195 monitor to
run in all resolutions, operating as a greyscale monitor in the colour
modes.
UTL.4637 GEMAR V1.123 - A backup program for a SCSI tape streamer. It is
GEM based and features moveable dialog boxes so it's very easy to use.
However, both the program and docs are in German. Funnily enough, some of
the text within the program is in English. CREATEINF v1.4 - Allows you to
create RAMLOAD.INF files for use with RAMLOAD.PRG by Kevin Cheung. Rather
than have the hassle of using a text editor, this program lets you locate
the required files using the file selector and saves the information to
disk. E_DICT 95 by Charles Edwards - A German to English translation program
with a difference. Having looked at the available German/English translation
programs when translating the main manual for GEM-View, the author of E_DICT
found them less helpful than he had hoped. He has devised E_Dict in such a
manner that the computer's speed in looking up words in an Atari oriented
onboard dictionary is complemented by the user's sense of context in
deciding which of the displayed definitions will be included in the output
English text. Another thing which makes E_DICT different is that it does not
contain a massive dictionary. Instead it handles the most commonly used
words as well as many German technical terms. This Shareware version only
gives translations on the first 1000 characters within the file. The
registered version handles translations of any length. MEDSPEED - Tests the
loading speed of an specified media. Works on floppies, ramdisks and hard
drives. Select the Drive and after a short test, you will be informed of the
data transfer rate in kilobytes per second. Multi-TOS compatible.
UTL.4638 AHDI V6.061 & HDX V5.04 - The latest revisions of Atari's hard
drive formatting, partitioning and auto booting utilities. Compatible with
most types of hard drive. SIMMFIX - Allows you to mix 256K and 1 Meg SIMMs
on an STE, giving you 2.5 Meg in total. MEMWATCH V1.2 by Damien Jones -
Memory usage is shown graphically in a GEM window. This is of most use under
multi-tasking where you can keep an eye on memory fragmentation. MEGAGRAF
V1.0 by Adam James - An X-Y graph plotting program designed for use by
scientists or those studying for HND or Degree courses in the sciences. It
includes many features which are required in the field of science but not
usually found in this type of program. It contains everything needed by the
author whilst he was studying of an Engineering Physics degree course. A
number of demonstration graphs are supplied to get you started. Registered
users get many extra features including import and export facilities for
exchanging data with BStat and GEM-Calc. Colour only. DESKMORF V1.10 - Gives
GEM windows, Desktop icons and dialog boxes a 3D look. Instead of a button
inverting when it selected, it will appear to be 'pressed in'. This version
only works for 10 minutes. You need to register to get the full benefits!
Colour only. IKONITOR v1.8 - A simple icon designer which lets you create
your own Desktop icons and save them in RSC format. Colour only. ONLY RUNS
ON TOS 2.06. VMEM 1.1 - Virtual memory driver which works on any Atari. It
operates by setting up a swap file on disk and a buffer in memory and paging
information between them. Full source code in Pure C and assembler is
included. It appears that it only works if you are running applications
which support it, hence the inclusion of the source code. The German docs
are a bit cryptic to understand, but there is a short doc in English which
explains what it's all about. Also, it requires a cookie jar to be present,
so, it needs JARxxx or COOKIExxx (both on UTL.5340) to be installed if
running on TOS 1.4 or earlier.
UTL.4654 PACSHELL V2.63 - Probably the best archiving shell around. It
essentially provides you with a replacement Desktop, giving you access to
all your drives. Create a new archive and drop the files to be archived
into the empty window. Double-click an archive and it opens up into its own
window, just like a real directory. Pacshell supports ARC, LZH, ZIP, ZOO,
ARJ, COMPRESS and GTAR archivers although these are not supplied with the
package. The program itself is GEM based and in English, but the docs and
context sensitive on-line Help are in German. It is also Multi-TOS friendly.
Would anyone like to translate? BELEF V2.3T - Yet another archiver shell.
This one is described as universal in the sense that it should work with any
TTP based archiver program, past or present. It works by allowing you to
enter all the commands supported by the appropriate archiver(s) into a
configuration screen and saves these settings for future use. It comes
preconfigured for LZH and ARC archives but these can easily be changed to
suit. You can also convert LZH archives to ARC and vice versa. Please note
that the archivers themselves are not included. Colour only. COOKBOOK by ETC
Software - A computerised recipe book from New Zealand. It is designed as an
easy means of storage for all those newspaper and magazine recipes which get
cut out and invariably lost over a period of time. Recipes are grouped under
Entree, Main, Sweets, Specials, Cakes and Miscellaneous for ease of use. A
number of recipes are included with the program. Printer support is included
for Epson FX, Panasonic 1081 and Atari SMM804, although you can easily
customise a driver for your own printer if you are willing to sort through
the command codes in your printer manual. Full GFA v3 source code included.
Colour only.
UTL.4655 CLARISSA by Chris Sharp - This is The Supreme Software Group's
document displayer. It is similar in concept to RDD and the STOSSER doc
displayer but with a few extras. Screen colours can be changed, you have
choice of two fonts, music can be switched on or off, you can toggle 50/60
hz display and much more. You can even display Degas pictures and docs
compressed with all the popular packers. All this is in addition to its
functions as a doc displayer! Give it a try, you're bound to find it useful.
Colour only. ASCII VIEW V3.8 by David Seberg - A text file viewer which
replaces the Show/Print/Cancel option on the Desktop. Simply install it as
an application using TXT or ASC as its parameters and each time you double-
click a text file, it will be loaded into ASCII View. It offers most of the
common functions found in other text displayers and is mouse controlled.
ICONPAGER V1.02 - Displays up to 54 icons per page depending on resolution.
The icon formats supported are the IB1 & IB3 types as created by Dr
Bobware's ICDRAW. This program is therefore only of use to those who already
have ICDRAW. A number of well drawn example icons are included with the
program. Please note, this is an icon viewer program, not an icon editor.
Colour only. STOS REWRITER by Wacko Software - An example of artificial
insanity! Type in a line of text or load an specially tampered with ASCII
file. You will then be asked to enter people's names or placenames and the
program will jumble everything up. The output file is correct in terms of
context but reads back as absolute nonsense and is in most cases hilarious
to say the least! Colour only, Needs 1 Meg.
UTL.4656C INTRO MAKER V1.5 by Robin Ball - A really simple to use intro
creator. It allows you to display a Degas screen, play a Soundtracker module
and run through a scrolltext all at the same time. Anyone can create an
impressive intro to their blockbuster game or demo in a matter of minutes!
This program requires no knowledge of programming. All you need are a text
editor to write your scrolltext and an art package to design your picture.
You even get a selection of eight AKB MOD files and a conversion program
which lets you convert Soundtracker MODs into the required format. Similar
to Intro Concept but easier to use and utilising tracker music rather than
soundchip compositions.
UTL.4657 XLATOR V2.04 by Gair Shields - An excellent foreign language
translation program which contains over 27,000 German to English
translations. If it doesn't know a word, you can even ask it to 'guess' its
meaning. The program is fully Multi-TOS compatible and has inbuilt support
for several languages but is only fully functional for German to English
transklations at present, although a smaller French to English dictionary is
also supplied. A number of other utilities are included for updating and
maintaining your dictionary files. In addition, you can use the supplied
dictionary files to create English to German and English to French
dictionary. Very worthwhile if you do a lot of translations. PLEASE NOTE:
This is the FULL registered version and is only available from Floppyshop.
Needs 1 Meg.
UTL.4763 ASSIGN-ED - An easy to use GEM based program which allows you to
add or delete fonts from your ASSIGN.SYS file using simple mouse clicks,
rather than having to type it all in from a text editor. It also lets you
see what the font looks like using some example text. Multi-TOS compatible
too. CPX SPY v1.11 by Gary Priest - Displays the version numbers of all CPX
files on your system. This allows you to easily distinguish which are newer
versions of CPXs that you already have. You can also view a CPXs attributes,
change directory and copy new CPXs into your usual CPX folder. Multi-TOS
compatible. SET TIME V1.32 - A small Auto folder patch which displays the
current time and date at boot up. Hold down ALT if you want to change the
setting, otherwise ignore it and the bootup process continues after a few
seconds. EDOS_121 - Patches all versions of the CD-ROM driver software
ExtenDOS up to 1.20 to v1.21. Obviously you will require an original copy of
ExtenDOS in order to use this patch. This patch removes some bugs from v1.20
and adds Photo CD support. SYSINFO by Christophe Boyanique - Performs an
extensive system check and saves out an extensive listing of your system set
up, system variables, contents of the cookie jar and just about everything
else you can think of. He has also included a listing of the commonly used
cookies (on all Ataris), their IDs and their meanings. RUNECASTER by Andy
Norfolk - Rather an odd program which doesn't really fit into any category.
This program teaches you about the traditional order of the rows and the
meanings of each rune. The three traditional rune poems are also included
for you to learn. Finally, you can use the program for divination and read
your own runes. For those of us who know little or nothing about Runes, the
doc file is very helpful in its introduction and goes on to recommend
several books on Runes. To reiterate what the author has said, we take no
responsibility for your interpretation of what the Runes say - your destiny
is in your own hands!
UTL.4764 & UTL.4765 HP LASERJET 4L & 4P PRINTER CONTROLLER v1.5 by Frank
Storm - Lets you set up more or less all of the Laserjet's features from
software. You can specify number of copies, lines per page, landscape
or portrait, automatic or manual feed, 8 paper sizes, economy mode on/off,
toner intensity, international character set to be used and which of the
eight inbuilt fonts you wish to use. In addition, you can download soft
fonts to the printer. There are 24 fonts supplied on these disks and a
further 15 on FNT.4802. Multi-TOS compatible. We have translated the menus
and there's a translation of an old Help file from a previous version. The
full docs are in German but, being GEM based, you won't need them! Fonts on
these disks are PR07RLG, PR10BLG, PR10ILG, PR10RLG, HPRIL10B, HPRIL10I,
HPRIL10N, HPRIL12B, HPRIL12I, HPRIL12N, AI012AAA, AI014AAA, AI018AAA,
AI020AAA, APPLE24, BC300RPN, BE018N00, CANDY23, CARTOON, CEN60, CHA16,
CHAN12, CORNET18, DING9.
UTL.4766 THE FLOPPYSHOP CPX COLLECTION #2 - The second disk of CPX files
for Atari's extensible control panel (XCONTROL). There are a total of 30
different CPX's on disk and it should be noted that a handful of them are
specific to certain versions of TOS or certain machines, although most work
on any ST/E, TT or Falcon. A number of programs are in German but the use
of most is obvious. Also, many of the docs appear to be missing. ASCIITAB
V1.0 - A CPX which displays all 256 ASCII characters along with their
decimal, hex, octal and binary equivalents. DESKPIC by Michael Zuhl - Yet
another Auto program and CPX to install a Degas mono screen in the
background of the Desktop. Mono only. HD FREE v1.2 - A CPX which displays
the amount of space used (and free) on each partition of your hard drive,
using a bar graph. It also displays free memory against total memory.
DIVERSES v1.12 by Michael Zuhl - Another multi-purpose CPX. It reads the
time from your clock card if you have one and allows you to set up an alarm.
It also converts printer codes into Epson compatible ones and lets you
switch between 50hz and 60hz in colour. PING v1.01 by Michael Zuhl - A CPX
which installs a sound sample of your choice (one is provided) to replace
the system bell sound. DISK v1.02 by Michael Zuhl - A disk utility which
allows you to set the step rate from drives A or B to 2, 3, 6 or 12
milliseconds and switch write verify on or off. You can also park the heads
of your hard drive with it. IDT V1.0 - Installs the International Date &
Time cookie in the Cookie Jar. The IDT cookie defaults to the international
date and time convention relevant for your country as read from your TOS
version. This CPX lets you change it to display the date and time according
to your own preference and save these as default. BOOT INIT V1.1 - A CPX
which allows you to alter various setting within the Falcon or TT's battery
backed RAM. Use with caution. TRASHCAN v1.05 - A recoverable Trashcan which
allows you to undelete files by copying them out of the Trash directory. You
need to empty the Trashcan in order to permanently delete files. 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! DJ_500 V1.10 - Gives you control over many
of the dip switch settings on a HP Deskjet 500 from software rather than
having to alter the dip switches manually for different programs. You can
set the font, type size, text scaling, paper size, margins, print quality
and more. AHDI_CFG V1.0 - Allows you to change the sector size, block size
and ASCSI and SCSI device numbers and such like to your own preferences by
loading up and altering AHDI.PRG or SHDRIVER.SYS. DAS BOOT V1.00 - This CPX
allows you to enable or disable ACCs and Auto folder programs, so that your
set up will be changed as soon as you reboot. Much easier than manually
renaming each file! CALC 1.0 - A handy calculator which allows you to work
out squares and square roots along with the usual addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division. It also has a memory and can convert between
decimal, octal, binary and hex. KALENDAR v1.01 by Dietmar Rabich - A
calendar which can display any month from January 1971 to January to 2038.
If you have a battery backed clock or clock card fitted, it always defaults
to displaying the current month. DIABLO V1.01 - A CPX which allows you to
customise Atari's Diablo 630 emulator (not included) for their SLM804 or
SLM605 laser printer. DIPS V1.0 - Allows you to alter the dip switch
settings for your printer through software. I assume it is for Epson
compatibles but there's no doc file so it's impossible to say for sure.
HD&MEM FREE V1.2 by Ghostbyte - Displays two bar graphs, one showing the
space used and space free (in megabytes) on your hard drive and the other
showing the same for memory. Double click onto any displayed bar to get a
read out of the exact figures relating to that partition (or your memory).
PALETTE ALBUM V1.0 - Displays your entire colour palette (for resolutions
with up to 256 colours) . Although you cannot change the values, you can
save preferred palettes and reload them at a later date in order to change
your Desktop colours. It will automatically load up a palette named
DEFAULT.PAL at boot up if it is located in your CPX directory. INVERT V1.0
by Jan Borchers - A game in which your aim is to turn all the squares black.
It's not as easy as it sounds. KALENDAR V1.0 by Aller Heilegen - Another
simple yet effective calendar program which displays any month from January
1980 to the year 3000 and beyond! It also displays the current month if you
have a battery backed clock or clock card fitted. ZAHLEN KONVERTER V1.0 - A
simple but efficient program which converts between decimal and hexadecimal.
LADE FONT V1.2 - Allows you to load up a font created using the font editor
FED and use it to replace the system font. LASER v1.0 - Gives you access to
the features of the Atari SLM804 or SLM605 laser printer. I'm not exactly
sure which functions it controls as there are no docs. CPX LINKER v1.0 by
Richard Kurz - Allows you to edit the colour of the icon and text, change
the CPX ID number, CPX version number, loading status (ram resident etc) and
even edit the icon associated with the CPX. All your changes may be resaved
into the CPX header. LOCK COMPUTER V1.0 - Forces the user to enter a
password when booting before allowing access to the system. MS-CACHE V1.0 -
A cache program to speed up reading and writing to and from your hard drive.
PARTITION SCHALT V1.10 - Allows you to re-partition your hard drive and set
Auto booting on or off. DJ_ON V1.0 - Initialises an HP Deskjet if it is
switched on after your Atari (otherwise you get a 'printer is not
responding' message from some programs). TCACHE56 V1.02 - A configuration
utility for the hard drive cache and password protection utility Tcache on
UTL.3850. WIDERSTAND V1.0 - Calculates how much current various types of
resistors can withstand. Unfortunately this one is in German and a bit
difficult to understand.
UTL.4830 LANZPOV by Jose Ferrer - A nice easy to use GEM based shell for TT
owners using POV Raytrace. It allows you to alter every parameter used ny
POV with the use of simple mouse clicks instead of having to run POV from a
CLI based environment. It's simply a case of clicking an up or down arrow or
a box to select or deselect. There is absolutely no typing involved! MODLIST
V1.48 by Matthew Hunter - A Shareware disk cataloguing program for MOD (not
TCB Tracker) files. It reads in an entire disk of MOD files at a time and
adds them to the database. The filename, MOD name (the 19 character name
which appears when you play it), file size and disk number are all
displayed. This utility helps you keep track of your entire collection of
MODs in order to avoid duplicates. In addition, MOD files packed with the
commonest packers will be correctly read and their data extracted. Some
functions are disabled in this version. SPEAK TIME by 4HJ - A fun program
for generating synthesised speech. You type in a sentence and can instruct
the program to read it backwards or forwards. You may also alter the speed
at which the words are spoken, as well as the pitch. Doing so changes the
output quite significantly. The program speaks to you in rather a robotic
tone when issuing instructions but practice can get it reciting your chosen
sentences in an almost human voice! NOT TOS 2.06.
UTL.4831 TRASHCAN v1.05 - A CPX for use with XControl, which acts as a
recoverable Trashcan, allowing you to undelete files by copying them out of
the Trash directory. You need to empty the Trashcan in order to permanently
delete files. BLINEX V1.6 - Removes unnecessary blank lines from ASCII
files, therefore saving paper. It also converts Unix ASCII and Mac ASCII
files to DOS format so that they can be read on an Atari, and takes care of
the differences in the mapping of the ASCII character set between the ST, PC
and Mac. Now with an easy to use GEM interface. CHICFONT - Replaces the
Desktop font with a Mac font. Simply but it in an Auto folder and forget
about it. A drastic improvement over the system font! DOPPELKLICK - Makes a
right-click emulate a double-click. In other words you can click once on the
right button instead of twice on the left! DJSCRFIX - An ACC which fixes the
problem of one mouse click being interpreted as two when clicking onto
scroll bars with TOS 1.4 or later. In addition, it allows you to initialise
a Deskjet printer switched on after your ST. Assembler source included.
PCORRECT by Adam Millard-Ball - Accepts an ASCII file and attempts to
'correct' it to be politically correct i.e. inoffensive to anyone! More of a
laugh than anything else. POWER MOUSE V1.3 - Allows you to use an Atari
Powerpad (as supplied with the Jaguar) instead of a mouse. Power Mouse
allows the Powerpad to be used in any application which normally uses a
mouse. VERICARD - Type in a credit card number and this program will tell
you whether or not it is a valid number. Useful for mail order firms. ONE
JACK by STectre - A program launcher which runs as an ACC and has the
ability to run up to 66 PRG, TOS, TTP or GTP programs from a menu with a
simple click of the mouse. DRIVEN V1.5 by Adam Millard-Ball - A highway code
tester. You can select to be tested on 10, 25 or all 52 questions. The
answers are given as multiple choice and are selected by simply typing A, B,
or C. The intention was to include a section on road signs but an objection
from HMSO on the grounds of copyright prevented this being added! Well worth
getting hold of if you're sitting your driving test soon. JETLOPE 2 v2.2 by
Barney Poston - Our first program for the HP Deskjet 510 and 520! It lets
you print envelopes (either individually, from an ASCII list or from data
stored in the GEM clipboard) and lets you access the internal fonts built
into these printers. The envelope sizes catered for are #10 commercial and
European DL. Lots of features are built into this program including a name
and address database. JETLOPE 2 V1.3 by Barney Poston - Exactly the same as
above except that this version runs on the HP Deskjet 500, rather than the
510 and 520. MOVIES AT NIGHT V1.2 by Andrew Watson - This is a screensaver
program which lets you play animations when the screen is being blanked. It
is identical to the version on UTL.4412 except that this is a standalone
version rather than merely an extendo-save module for Warp 9 (although it
works as that too!). As well as using its own animation file format, you can
also import Degas pictures or CyberPaint SEQ files. Both the screensaver and
the construction set are included as well as an example animation. PRIZEDRAW
v1.5 by S B Trudgian - A program for printing sequential numbers onto raffle
tickets. Printers will usually not consider doing numbered tickets in small
amounts. Simply design your tickets using a Desktop Publishing program and
then run this program. It lets you specify where to print the numbers and
how many counterfoils are required. You can of course save all your settings
to disk for use with your next batch of tickets. RES SWITCH V1.01 - A very
simple boot manager. It asks you if you want to boot up in low or medium res
and selects the appropriate DESKTOP.INF file for your chosen resolution.
SPLITTER V2.0 - A nice easy to use GEM based program which splits large
files into smaller pieces so that they may be transferred to floppies for
backup purposes or to move them from one computer to another. Both ST and PC
versions are supplied.
UTL.4832C THE TEKTRONIX SHAREWARE DISK - A compilation of the best
Shareware programs to come from Tektronix between 1992 and 1994. GFA SOURCE
- This folder contains the full source code for several finished programs
and a few unfinished ones too. The finished programs include a music
database, program launchers, fractal programs, a game, an ASCII file viewer,
a password protection program and a kids art program. The unfinished code is
many and varied. There's something for everyone here. Please note that you
will need GFA Basic v3 to use the source code and ARC.TTP on UTL.392 to
dearchive the files. CHAOS CALC 2 - A rather fast Mandelbrot generator. This
one lets you zoom almost into infinity. Although CC2 is powerful as it
stands, registered users get a number of extras. The program is GEM based
and the instructions are very straightforward. FUJIBOOT PRO - Displays the
Atari logo when you boot up, just like TOS 2.06 upwards. OFFCOLOUR - Changes
the display back to the standard Desktop colours. Useful when run after
programs which mess up the palette. THERMOBOOT - Allows you to perform a
warm or cold boot at the click of the mouse. MR MENU 2 - A program launcher
which allows you to execute up to six programs using a simple click of the
mouse. What makes MR MENU unique is that it will change resolution to suit
the program eg; you can run your word processor in medium res, followed by
your art program in low res without re-booting. You can also swap the screen
display from 50hz to 60hz if your TV or monitor can handle this. MR MENU 3 -
almost identical to Mr Menu 2 but with support for up to 22 programs. In
addition, Mr Menu 3 gives various statistics on the number of menu items,
the selected resolution, amount of free memory and so on. You can also have
a short description of the program displayed on the menu too. Each time you
quit a program, you will always be returned to Mr Menu. M-BASE - A database
specifically designed to help you manage your collection of music tapes,
records or CDs. It has preset fields for the group, title and format (CD,
video etc) as well as a user definable number of fields for the tracks on
the media (5 to 21). The database can be searched and reports may be
displayed on screen, printed out or saved to disk. PAINT V1.02 - A demo of a
very basic art program aimed at young children. Unfortunately it seems that
everything is disabled but you get the full version if you register. REVIEW
- An ASCII file viewer. REview is ideal for reading through those doc files
on disk as it lets you scroll backwards and forwards, search for text and
print out selected blocks of text. It's not as full featured as RDD but then
it only takes 25k of memory! WIDGIT - A password protection program. Simply
place it in an Auto folder and you will be prompted for a password each time
you boot up. Most useful on a hard drive for obvious reasons! You can change
the password at any time, but if you get it wrong, your computer will reset!
The password is initially set to atari. BOOM V1.05 - A simple two player
game in which you can set the angle and speed of a missle to be fired at
your opponent. You get one go each, then it's onto the next round. ST PAGE
V1.36 - A text editor packed with features. In order to use it, you'll have
to hold down the CONTROL key and use the arrow keys to move through the
menus. Luckily the first menu contains the Help option (there's no doc
supplied!). There are also a few unfinished programs on the disk and the GFA
sources for these is included so that you can finish them off yourself!
UTL.4837 STOSSER DOCUMENT DISPLAYER by Tony Greenwood - A nice easy to use
displayer program for text files. It is graphically based and has all the
usual features with a few extras thrown in. One of these is the ability to
display the text in three different sizes. Printing of the currently
displayed screen or the entire document is also possible. This latest
version also supports the use of pictures within the text. THE WINNERS
ENCLOSURE v2.4 by J S Cowper - A Shareware horse racing prediction program.
It predicts the winners of races from its own internal data. Registered
users get a copy of the exhaustive database containing details on top
horses, trainers and jockeys and the ability to update it, along with a
number of other features including advice on how much to bet on individual
horses. Don't expect to become a millionaire, but it's worth a try! VIEWFONT
- Allows you to load and display a GDOS font without having to load GDOS
first. The executable allows you to load and display your chosen font and
the C source allows you to use GDOS fonts within your own programs. LABEL
PRINTER V1.0 by Charles McLaughlin - A nice easy to use graphically based
label printing program. It is designed for printing one off address labels
rather than disk labels. You can use sprocket fed labels with more than one
label across and specify which label position you wish to print in, so as to
avoid waste. A simple yet effective program which may well be all you need
for printing one off labels. This Shareware version allows you to input your
data into the database and save it but will not let you print out until you
register. PDP_LP by Charles McLaughlin - Converts data files created using
Personal Database Plus into the format required by Label Printer (on this
disk). All programs on this disk are colour only except for The Winners
Enclosure and Viewfont, both of which run in colour or mono.
UTL.4934 BUDGIE'S ASTROLOGY by Andy Osborne and Danielle Le Marais - If
you are one of those people who think that the horoscopes in the daily
papers are a load of cobblers, we'd probably agree with you and instead
suggest you look at this program. Using accurate scientific data, it can
calculate the exact position of the Sun, Moon and Planets for any minute
of any day past, present or future. Comprehensive tutorials and exercises
help to interpret this information and produce a horoscope far more
accurate than any newspaper column. Works in colour or mono. This disk was
previously part of the BUDGIE UK range.
UTL.4938C & UTL.4939C VIDEO MASTER by Neil Scrimgeour - A very
comprehensive tool to design your own video scrolling sequences. Twenty
different options including fades, timings, palette, scroll speeds,
graphic imports, backgrounds, text editing and more. Music by The
Shapershifters is supplied in a separate folder. VM FONTS - Nineteen fonts
in NEO format suitable for use with Video Master or, through cut and
paste, with any other project. Another ten 8*8 fonts are also included in
STOS format. These disks were previously part of the BUDGIE UK range.
UTL.4944 CALAMUS SUPPORT DISK 5 - Another collection of useful utilities,
printer drivers and templates for use with Calamus. Please note that some
programs are only for use with Calamus S and Calamus SL. F_SCALE - A Handy
ACC for use with Calamus. It allows you to accurately re-size frames by
calculating the new height or width, based upon the original size. The
benefit of using this over the proportional resize icon is that it retains
details of the original proportions just in case you need to revert back to
them. JCCFNVUE - Displays Calamus fonts to the screen. This allows you to
search quickly through your font collection and decide which font you
require. CALAPATCH - Patches the June 1993 versions of Calamus S and SL to
enable them to work correctly with MagiC and Multi-TOS. CALAMUS USER - Three
text files detailing the November 1994 upgrade of Calamus SL, introducing
the Calamus User Group and its newsletter, and giving details of how to
order Calamus modules directly from DMC. FNT SHOW - An external module for
Calamus S/SL which allows you to load up any font and print out a document
containing the entire character set of that font. FOCOLTON - An alternative
colour palette for use with Calamus SL. FONTLOOK V1.0 - An ACC which
displays any CFN on screen. Simply click onto the 'full box' to bring up the
file selector, then select a font. The font name will then be displayed
(written in its own font) in the accessory window. MERGE DM - An external
module which has something to do with merging two raster graphics together.
The module is just a demo and it's all in German so it's difficult to fathom
out! MISCHEN - Converts a file exported from an Adimens database into a
Calamus text file, ready for import directly into Calamus. Program and docs
in German, but we've done a RUF translation. PROCALCON - Converts ASCII
files from the Portfolio so as to add line feeds after each blank line, to
make them compatible with Calamus 1.09N.

PATCH - Patches Codehead Software's Hotwire program to make it compatible
with Atari Works.
UTL.4955 LOTTERY FEVER! - Four programs designed to help you win the
National Lottery. LOTTERY 1 runs in mono or colour, the others are colour
only. LOTTERY 1 by Jim Davidson - Simply input the number of boards you
require numbers for and the program does the rest. You even get asked if the
numbers are acceptable (eg; if you have already had similar numbers on the
last board, you may wish to try again). Jim won £47 on the draw of 18/3/95
using his program! LOTTERY 2 by Marcus Platt - Consult the 'Oracle' and get
a prediction of six lucky numbers. These will then be display on a replica
of a lottery ticket! Great graphics and there's even a soundtrack too.
LOTTERY 3 by Slip Finger and Amok - A nice simple number generator. It will
generate six numbers randomly then you press the left mouse button for
another six or the right to exit. Nothing could be easier! LOTTERY 4 by Dave
Cobbledick - Yet another National Lottery number cruncher program. This one
picks out your six random numbers complete with atmospheric sound effects!
LOTTO CHECK by Peter Kerr - This program does not generate 'winning
numbers'. Instead, it is for those of you who put on lots of lottery tickets
each week. It saves your chosen numbers and you can check the winning
numbers against up to 44 sets of numbers within a matter of seconds. Only
really useful if you spend more than £15 a week on lottery tickets. PANTHER
- Probably one of the most useful utilities in years. It intercepts TOS and
redirects file accesses. In simple terms, it allows you to put all your ACCs
or RSCs into folders (nested as deeply as you like) and load them up as if
the ACCs were in the root directory of the boot drive and RSCs were in the
same directory as associated PRGs. It also supports the use of file aliases,
but if you don't understand that you'll still appreciate its use for
cleaning up your root directory. AUTOEXEC JUTEBOX by Klaus Pedersen - Allows
you to alter the order of Auto folder programs. It also features its own
programming language which lets you execute a named program on completion of
bootup, play a sample on bootup (STE and TT only) or in fact do one or two
other perhaps less significant things.
UTL.4963 CARL HAFNER DISK #1 - (all except the last one, that is). OCULTAR
v3.04 - A boot up manager with lots of extras added on. You can have several
preset configuration files to choose which ACCs, CPXs, INFs and Auto folder
programs should be loaded. However, Ocultar really excels in its security
password system. This prevents unauthorised users from gaining access to
your system. It even prevents them bypassing the Auto folder and ACC
selections by holding down key combinations as supported in later TOS
versions. Up to 10 users may be given different levels of access to your
system. Ocultar needs 1 Meg. PROLOCK! v1.09 - Designed to lock access to
your system in the event that you leave your computer unattended. Simply
activate Prolock! and leave your computer. You will have to enter the
correct password upon your return in order to regain access. If anyone tries
to access your computer by rebooting, the ACC version will prompt for the
password during the boot up process. Designed to operate in conjunction with
Ocultar (also on disk). VERTISET v1.01 - Allows you to toggle the HERTZ rate
of your colour TV (some models don't work at 60hz) or monitor between 50hz
and 60hz. Different settings can be used for different programs and you can
specify which hertz rate you wish to exit the program in. Can be run from
the Auto folder or the Desktop. STICKLER v1.10B by David Binnion - Allows
you to create a file of important dates and reminders. Assuming that you
have a clock card, battery backed clock or have set the date and time
correctly at boot up, you will be reminded of forthcoming events as they
draw near. You can set up events as being one offs, weekly, daily or
monthly. You also choose how much notice you want to be given for
forthcoming events.
UTL.4964 CARL HAFNER DISK #2 - A collection of useful Shareware and Freeware
programs by Carl Hafner. BEST_OF_1 - A selection of various pictures, fonts
and icons to use with Neodesk 3. Please note that these files are supplied
in LZH archives and you will require LZHSHELL on UTL.392 in order to extract
them. CARL-FSEL v1.06 - Calls up an alternative file selector from the
Desktop or within any GEM based application. This allows you to specify up
to 10 paths to search and up to 16 extenders. All active drives are also
selectable. After you have set up the program to your own specifications,
it's merely a case of clicking onto your desired setting to go directly to a
specific directory. COLORTXT - Fed up with the same old black text? This
program lets you choose which colour you want your text to displayed on
screen (the option of inverse text is available for mono users). COPYCATS
v1.07A - Mimic a computer generated sequence of selected boxes in much the
same fashion as the electronic game, Simon. You have to repeat the sequences
in the correct order. COPYSTUFF v1.05 - Allows you to copy a specified file
to up to nine destination paths. Your settings may be saved as default or
you can select the paths manually for one off jobs. FASTBITS v1.03 - Allows
you to set the fast load bit (in a file's header) on or off. This speeds up
loading time on TOS v1.4 or later but has no effect on earlier operating
systems. FILECOPY V1.03 - File copying utility which allows you to set up
several source and destination paths and save these as default. You can then
simply click onto your chosen setting to copy entire folders with a few
simple mouse clicks. 999 different configurations can be set up and saved to
disk! FORTUNE230 - A collection of 230 'Fortunes' for use with the screen
saver module FORTUNE.EXT supplied with Warp 9 v3.70 or later. FRIX v1.02b -
Flipping bricks game where clicking onto one brick affects the status of
other bricks in the grid. Your aim is to make all bricks on the grid display
the same symbol. F STOP 1.02b - Snapshot and viewer utilities for Degas
pictures. One program allows you tograb screens from within any GEM program
and the other loads and displays any Degas picture. GENLABEL v2.0 - A simple
label maker program which allows up to 17 lines of text to be typed into a
label. Each label is saved in its own file. Output can be to the serial or
parallel port.Handy when you need to print a one off label quickly. GRAMPA
HOWARD MYSTERIES - ADVENTURE v1.0b - A text adventure game entitled "A
Journey Into The Past". HEIDI SEEK v2.08a - A file find utility which allows
you to search (using wildcards if necessary) specified drives for chosen
files. Similar to the built-in Search facility in TOS 2.06 upwards but with
the ability to save templates for commonly used searches. In addition, a
number of file attributes can be altered using Heidi Seek. KEYCLEAR v1.0A -
Prevents overlapping keyboard messages between Auto programs by clearing the
keyboard buffer. KILL IT v1.01 - Deletes un-needed files (eg; old INF and
CNF files) at boot-up in order to tidy up your root directory. It only
deletes the files that you specify in its configuration file.
UTL.4965 LAZAZ! by Andreas Papula - Very versatile Shareware multi-archiver
shell that handles the usual formats - Zip, Zoo and Lharc. It also supports
the use of ZIP2TOS and UUENCODE/DECODE and external file viewers. Fully
compatible with Multi-TOS and SpeedoGDOS. Unfortunately the docs are in
German, but we've done a RUF translation. Recommended. Needs 1 Meg. LHARCBAT
by Robert Chilton - Converts all folders in the directory from which it was
run, into separate LZH archives of the same name by using the supplied
LHARC113.TTP. Other versions of LHARC may be used but v1.13 has been
supplied as it makes the output compatible with the popular dearchiver
UNLZH172. PACKSHELL v3.01 by Holger Weets - This multi-archiver shell will
handle just about anything (Zoo, Zip. Arj, Lharc, Arc and Tar) and is easy
to configure from its own unique Desktop. It is also constantly being
updated and improved. ST-GUIDE (UTL.5557) is used to access the hypertext
style on-line Help. Highly recommended, Needs 1 Meg. NOTE:- An earlier
version has been retained on UTL.4654 for half Meg users.
UTL.4966 BJ300 by Stephen Munslow - An ACC which allows you to send various
commands (which font, characters per inch, text effects, print quality,
justification etc) directly to a Canon BJ300 or BJ330. MED NET - Networking
software which allows you to connect two Atari computers (ST, TT, Falcon or
any combination of these) together and access all drives on them as if they
belonged to the same system. Connection is performed via the Midi ports.
Especially handy if one system has a hard drive and the other does not. THE
FINANCIER V1.1S by Kevin Munro - A formerly commercial home/small business
accounts package, now re-released as Shareware. It lets you keep track of
your spending on your cheque account, credit card, store cards and such
like. For the small business statements can be stored on disk with personal
details and invoices may be generated. The use of templates allows the same
type of form (statement, invoice etc; to be generated each time and each
template may be unique to an individual account holder. A built-in graphing
facility enables you to view all account balances of a specified period of
time and Financier's powerful search facility allows specific entries or
accounts to be found easily. All in all a very powerful program. Highly
recommended. XMENU v1.5 by Jens Brüggemann - A program launcher which can
accomodate up to 24 programs in its menu. After setting up, just click onto
the appropriate file name and it will be loaded, regardless of its location.
Fully compatible with Multi-TOS and Mag!X. Unfortunately all docs are in
German, but we've done a RUF translation. PASSWORD - A collection of
fourteen password encrypt\decrypt programs. In all cases, make a backup of
your data and make sure that you can decrypt it before you destroy the
original. You should also note down the password you use just in case you
forget it, otherwise your data will be irrecoverable. CRYPTIP by N W A Marsh
- Scrambles any ST or PC file so that it cannot be viewed intelligibly or
executed if executable. Several levels of encryption may be applied to your
files and they may only be decrypted by entering the correct six digit
password. ST and PC versions supplied. CYPHER II by Patrick Mallows - Allows
you to encrypt or decrypt any ST program or data file in much the same
manner as Cryptip. Uses a four digit password and comes in any easy to use
shell. DENCRYPT - Encrypts the data on an entire disk in one of 999
different ways. The data on the disk is then unreadable until you rerun this
program and decrypt it using the correct password. ENIGMA ST v1.0 by David
Guest - Multi-Rotor encrypting! This is a simulation of WW2 system used by
the Germans and will take some cracking. KAYELOR DATA PROTECTION SYSTEM V3.0
by Narinder Claire - A data protection system that will encrypt files as
they are being written to disk. Encryption can be turned off\on via hot-
keys. It runs in the background and is invisible to the user. However, you
can only access the scrambled data if you know the password! LOCK by Thomas
Müller - An ACC which locks up the mouse and keyboard preventing you from
gaining access to the system until a password has been entered correctly.
LOCK ST V1.0 by Jase King - Another ACC system locker which won't let you
into your ST until you type in the correct password. PASS_SYS v0.1 by
Richard Pitt - An Auto folder password protection system. The password is
encoded into the program itself and you cannot gain access to your hard
drive until you type the correct password. An editor program allows you to
change the password to suit (assuming you get into your system in the first
place!). PROTECT IT by Andrew Brown - Encodes or decodes any file using your
chosen password. You can only encode or decode files if you know the
password. The password may be changed at any time but you need to input the
old password in order to do this! QUICK LOCK V1.2 by Branch Always Software
- You can write-protect any drive connected to your system (floppies,
ramdisks and hard drives), thus preventing anyone from writing data to it.
You can also lock drives, which prevents anyone reading a drive's contents.
Simply enter the correct eight digit password when prompted by the ACC in
order to gain full access. SECURITY v1.1 by John Naylon - Hides all files on
a floppy disk. Rather than encrypt them, it merely makes them invisible when
you open the disk's directory and the disk appear to be empty. Entering the
correct user name and password makes all files visible again. ST SENTRY
v1.01 by Plexus Systems - Locks you out of your hard drive until you enter
the correct password. Intended for use with Superboot v6 or later and TOS
v1.4 or later. SYS_PROOF v0.1 by David Silverman - Another password
protection program for hard drive users. You must enter the correct access
code and/or password to gain entry to your hard drive. These can be changed
at any time but you must know the old code/password before you will be
permitted to enter a new one! UNCLE LOCK v1.0 by Carl Hafner - Locks up the
screen (either by making it semi-tansparent or over-writing it with a
pattern) while you leave your system unattended. Simply type the correct
password to regain access. A screen saver (i.e. terminal protector) is also
included.
UTL.5000M VOYAGER 3.1A LIGHT - A cut down Shareware version of a tri-
lingual (English, French and German) astronomy (stargazing in layman's
terms) program. This version is limited in that you cannot save, print or
animate. You are also restricted to 15 minutes' use per session and
calculations cannot be performed for dates later than the end of 1994.
Registration costs only £10. You can compute the ephemeris of planets,
comets and asteroids and you can choose the place, time zone, atmospheric
refraction etc; from where to base your computations. Recapitulative boards
for ephermis and rising and setting of planets can be displayed as can the
curves of visibility for planets. You can also calculate the time for
photographic exposures in accordance with your instruments and camera. The
phase and scale of planets can also be compared. These are only a handful of
the features of this program, which currently offers the most comprehensive
scientific data on astronomy (not to be confused with astrology) available.
What's more, it is contained in a nice easy to use futuristic style GEM
based shell and everything is accessible either from icons on screen from
from the drop down menus. The light version is aimed at the hobbyist and a
pro version (not to be confused with the registered version) is available
from the author for those who need extra features. Minimum resolution
640x400, so mono only on ST or graphic card required.
UTL.5001 HEWLETT PACKARD DESKJET/LASERJET SUPPORT DISK 3 - Yet another
collection of useful programs which help you get the best out of your HP
printer. DJSCRFIX - An ACC which fixes the problem of one mouse click being
interpreted as two when clicking onto scroll bars with TOS 1.4 or later. In
addition, it allows you to initialise a Deskjet printer switched on after
your ST. Assembler source included. JETLOPE 2 v2.2 by Barney Poston - Our
first program for the HP Deskjet 510 and 520! It lets you print envelopes
(either individually, from an ASCII list or from data stored in the GEM
clipboard) and lets you access the internal fonts built into these printers.
The envelope sizes catered for are #10 commercial and European DL. Lots of
features are built into this program including a name and address database.
JETLOPE 2 V1.3 by Barney Poston - Exactly the same as above except that this
version runs on the HP Deskjet 500, rather than the 510 and 520. DESK500
V1.10 - A CPX which allows you to select which of the seven fonts and six
character sets you wish to use. Other things such as text scale mode, point
size, print quality and landscape or portrait output can also be set. Your
chosen settings can be saved for future use. DCJDUMP V2 - Allows you to
perform a screendump from the GEM Desktop or within any GEM program in
colour or mono to a Deskjet 500C. You can also select to dump only the
contents of the active window to the printer rather than the entire display.
It now supports almost any resolution and is TT and Falcon compatible. Also
included is a program and CPX to allow you to switch on the Deskjet after
the ST has booted up. HP COPY - Allows you to perform a screendump to any HP
Laserjet or Deskjet from ST or TT high resolution (using the ALT+HELP key
combination). You can select the printer resolution (75dpi to 300 dpi),
print in landscape or portrait and much more. HP Copy doesn't care if the
printer was switched on after the ST and it uses data compression to speed
up printout. It also supports several mono picture formats but there's very
little by way of docs and those which are supplied are German, so this could
take a bit of figuring out! DRIVERS - A selection of printer drivers for
First Word, Adimens, Arabesque, Calamus, Campus CAD, Technobox Drafter,
Daily Mail?, GDOS, GFA Draft Plus, Idealist, Megapaint, Publishing Partner,
Script, Signum 2, STAD, Tempus, Tempus Word and TEX.
UTL.5003 PROFILE V2.21 by Mark Baines - This is the most comprehensive
system analysis software ever written. The latest version is fully GEMmed
and Multi-TOS compatible. It provides information on hardware, TOS version,
memory (inc TT Fast RAM), screen resolution, disk drives, operating system
header block and basepage, cartridge and control panel settings, serial
device details, AES details, Assign.Sys and Extend.Sys settings, Multi-TOS
details, important system configuration addresses, DESKTOP.INF/NEWDESK.INF
settings, vertical blank interrupts, the cookie jar, cookie ID
interpretations, environment variable strings, the complete system variables
contents, exception vectors and much more. Profile is invaluable in helping
you track down software incompatibilities as well as being a useful tool
for 'snooping around' inside your ST! All printing and saving is disabled in
this version. Register for only £5.00 to enable these features. RUFTRADE
2.QN by Charles Edwards - This program has evolved from E_DICT on UTL.4637
and is currently one of the best automated German to English translation
programs around. Its built-in dictionary's strength comes from the fact that
it is computer oriented rather than limited to 'everyday' German. In
addition, a number of common German phrases do not make sense when
translated literally and Ruftrade attempts to identify these and subsitute
meaningful alternatives for them. Ruftrade is used to translate much of the
documentation for the latest PD & Shareware releases. This is the very last
release of Ruftrade and is now Freeware.
UTL.5004 DL3_9999 by T Smith - A nice easy to use GEM based directory
lister program. You can select any drive from A to P and print out a
directory listing to printer or save it to disk. In addition, you can
specify what data (file size, date/time stamp, user comments etc) is to be
included within the listing. NEO4ICON by Lou Trapani - A collection of 16
colour icons for use with Gribnif's NEODesk 4. DB314PATCH - Upgrades v3.0x
of Diamond Back to v3.14. Obviously you need an original of Diamond Back
v3.0x in order to make use of this patch. MEMORY2.SYS - A version of
MEMORY.SYS which has been bug fixed and improved for compatibility with
SpeedoGDOS. HYPERBASE by David Cawthray - A Shareware Hypertext clone which
allows graphics and sound to be used as links in addition to plain text. A
demo which depicts the signs of the Zodiac is included on disk. Ideal for
creating your own interactive adventures or on-screen tutorials. CD LIST
V0.2 by Keith Lord - Allows you to play audio CDs on CD-ROM players which
are not SCSI II compliant and therefore fail to play music will any of the
other players available. It was designed to work with the IBM 7210, Toshiba
XM 3131 and Toshiba XM 3232 drives although it will probably work with
others too.
UTL.5012 SYSMON V1.09 by Karsten Isakovic - Comprehensive Shareware program
to check on the running of programs and their effect on system status at any
time. Memory blocks, OS vars etc; can be configured and a debuging option is
also included. Program can be run from the Auto folder or the Desktop. Very
comprehensive with keyboard commands. German docs. TEMPLEMON V2.02 by
Johannes Hill - Command orientated monitoring program. Basicaly you can
monitor any part of your operating system at any time with keyboard commands
and short cuts. It is similar to Sysmon but more comprehensive and has a
full english manual. Also includes a CPX module is included and the
FIRECRACKER screensaver. TEMPLEMON has the ability to interupt any program
at any time and offers many options including full debuging operations.
Highly recomended. Not FALCON compatible. TREEPACK V1.7 by Ulf Pridzun - A
Shareware stand alone GEM shell program that gives the user the option of
archiving complete folders or single files. It features easy to use menu
options and does not require any additional compressors. German program with
no docs but very easy to use. TREEPACK V1.9 by Ulf Pridzun - Identical to
V1.7 but this is ACC version.
UTL.5013 1ST GUIDE v06/97 - An ACC/PRG/GTP which acts as a Hypertext system
with the primary purpose of allowing you to access on-line help files within
GEM based programs. In addition to acting as a comprehensive Hypertext
system, 1st Guide can also be used as a file viewer for ASCII and 1st
Word/Wordplus documents and (X)IMG, IFF, JPG, PNG, GEM and MPG movies (incl
audio), RSC files containing icons and play sampled sounds in SAM, SND and
AVR formats. 1st Guide is Shareware and registration unlocks various
features disabled in this version including the ability to create your own
on-line help files. You can also print out files if you have GDOS or
SpeedoGDOS installed. Short English instructions are included with this
version. Registration in UK now available through InterActive. CRYPTON V1.99
by Standa Jirman - A hard drive defragmentor and optimiser. A superb program
for tidying up your hard drive. Optimising your drive regularly with this
program will speed the drive up as well as reducing the risk of data loss.
The install program supplied allows you to prevent certain partitions from
being accesed by Cryton Disk. This is particularly important for those of
you who have Mac or PC partitions. Unfortunately the program is in German
and there is very little by way of docs. Needs 1 Meg. GENLABEL V2.03 by Carl
Hafner - An easy to use program which allows you to create individual disk
labels of your own choice from a simple menu. Up to 14 lines of text are
supported. Printer option included. Runs as an ACC or PRG. GRAFIEK V2.00 by
Kurt Vandamme - A Shareware program which changes large chunks of numerical
data into eye-catching graphics which can be used in DTP programs or word
processing. The PRG is the main part of the program where commands are
selected from a menu bar and the ACC is used to save data from spreadsheets
to produce a GK2 file which can then be incorporated into GRAFIEK. Mono
Only. MAKE_UP V1.09 by Frank Behrens - A Shareware text manipulation program
similar in some ways to Idealist but not so comprehensive. MAKE_UP can be
used with the included program BLINEX which will convert between 4 different
ASCII fonts, remove unwanted blank lines and blank characters. The ability
to call up IDEALIST as well as any text editor is also included. A very
comprehensive hypertext manual is included but unfortunately it's in German.
UTL.5014 ARJ_BETA 9.97A by The TOS Crew - This is possibly the first ST
implementation of the ARJ compressing system and is currently being updated
and modified with a user interface promised soon. Much work has and is being
done on this comprehensive compressing system. Very extensive documentation
is included with ARJ.BETA and the various supplied versions of UNARJ.
Documentation does include various ways to get ARJ.BETA up and running
either by using an alternative Desktop or installing as an installed
application. The UNARJ programs supplied are FAST and the tables provided
show that this implementation of ARJ is a powerful contender against ZIP and
LHARC etc. COMPRESS V1.4 by Jens-Peter Haack - Similar to the Unix(1)
compressor but much easier to use. The GEM file selector is called up and
the file to be compressed is selected. Typical compression ratios are - Text
60%, Degas files 70% to 90% and PRG files 30 to 50%. Unfortunately the docs
are in German. H PACK by Martin Braschler - A cut down version of the
original program H PACK as used on other platforms called H PACK LITE. It
uses simple basic commands eg; add-extract-test etc; from a TTP command
line. Two versions are provided, one for 68000 processors and another for
the 68030. This is a stand alone programe and does not require you to
configure any other compressor. PACK_IT V1.40 by Manfred Ssykor -Searches a
preset folder and then procedes to archive the contents. LHARC or STZIP are
required to be present for PACK_IT to be configured. Selectable compression
ratios are available from within the program.Configuration from within the
program is very comprehensive but unfortunately the docs are German so you
are on your own a fair bit. Needs at least 1 Meg.
UTL.5015 UNIX - This disk contains various programs which are UNIX
compatible. BTOA and ATOB V4.00 by Paul Rutter - BTOA encodes a file to
printable ASCII and also attaches a header and checksum information. This is
used by the reverse ATOB to find the start of the file and to check
integrity. ATOB reads encoded files and re-creates a copy of the original.
BTOB/ATOB does in fact carry out the same task as UUENCODE to convert binary
files to ASCII for use on systems such as Internet where the transmission of
binary files is not ordinarily supported. BTOA/ATOB claims to much more
efficient. C Source code included. TAR V1.11.1. by Hildo Biersma - Port of
GNU TAR for the ST which only runs under the MINT or MINIX file systems.
Designed to run from a command line interpreter such as GULAM although it
can be run from the Desktop. This program translates GEMDOS files to/from
UNIX format. SHAR by Rainer Klute - Puts files together into a shell archive
which can then be extracted by the UNIX program BASH (Bourne Again SHell).
This version can archive whole file systems and was created by the author
for use with ARCGSH V4.1, the multi-compressor shell on UTL.428. It is based
on UNIX SHAR by Gary Pearlman. UUE - An implementation of the
UUENCODE/UUDECODE protocol for converting binary files into ASCII for
transmission across systems such as Internet. This is a non-GEM
implementation (a GEM based equivalent can be found on UTL.3762). WW_TAR
V8.1 by Wolfgang Wander - A UNIX TAR implenemtation of a tape streamer
backup system. This program includes very comprehensive configuration with
switch options. Unfortunately the docs are in German, but we've done a RUF
translation. An example default TAR file is included. LAZY3 by Oliver
Michalak - A comprehensive graphically based archiving shell. It supports
all common archivers although you will need copies of the individual
archiver programs. Almost everything can be accessed from either the icons
or the drop down menus. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German,
but we've put a RUF translation on disk. Lazy3 can easily be configured as a
front end for the Unix based archivers on this disk. Needs 1 Meg.
UTL.5034 ARROWFIX V1.5 - Fixes a few bugs in GEM which relate to the
handling of mouse events. The most notable of these is that it prevents
single clicks being interpreted as double-clicks when using the scrollbars
on GEM windows. Only works if GEMRAM (on UTL.4140) is installed. XXXX -
Searches through an ASCII file and replaces 250 occurences of XXXX with
sequential numbers from 1000 to 1249. If XXXX is found less than 250 times,
duplicate files are created to make up the difference. Intended for creating
raffle tickets. Obviously it creates two copies of each number generated
(i.e. 500 tickets in all). MULTI LABEL NATIONAL CURRICULUM COLLECTION by
Glensoft - An adaptation of the original Multi-Label Collection which has
been customised for use by teachers. It allows you to record tasks/homework
set, equipment and materials to be used and attainment focus marks achieved
by each pupil in a class or group. These can then be printed onto specially
designed forms which have space for comments, or the individual details can
be output to sticky labels. Comes with extensive doc on disk and built-in
on-line help. MULTIFMRT - Formats disks to 9 or 10 sectors, 80 or 82 tracks,
single or double sided. What makes it unusual is that it can format two
disks at the same time, one in A, the other in B! It can format one at a
time as well if you want. Requires two disk drives regardless of whether or
not you wish to format simultaneously. NEORAM V1.03 by Carl Hafner - An Auto
folder program which automatically re-installs your chosen volume label for
NeoDesk's ramdisk each time you boot up. This program is only of use if you
own a copy of NeoDesk! UNCLE RAM IV by Carl Hafner - Displays the size of
the largest block of free memory, TOS version, TOS creation date, time and
date. It can also be used to perform a warm or cold boot. Can be run as a
PRG or ACC. When run as an ACC, it can be useful for finding out how much
free memory is available from within any GEM program. GUARDIAN by Steve
Woodford - Checks each floppy inserted into the drive and alerts you if it
encounters a known virus. DESKDRIVER 2 by Graham Hinton - Originally
designed as a printer driver for KAOSDesk, this program has evolved into a
complete communications port driver. It allows you to direct output from a
disk file to the parallel, serial, serial 1, serial 2, modem 1, modem 2,
MIDI or LAN ports (depending upon which of these is supported by your TOS
version and machine). As far as we know, this is the only driver which
addresses the 'extra' ports on the Mega STE, TT and Falcon. It is also a an
exceptionally good printer driver for replacement Desktops. Mono only.
SCATTER V1.02a by Carl Hafner - Encrypts and decrypts files for security
purposes. However, what makes this program different is that it will further
encrypt a file if you enter an incorrect password when trying to decrypt it!
This makes it almost impossible to decrypt a file which has been tampered
with. For this reason, you must always keep backups of files encrypted using
this program. SNAPSHOT - A collection of Auto folder programs and ACCs which
allow you to grab screenshots from within other programs and save them to
disk. Some are more reliable than others and different snapshotters are more
suited to grabbing screens from different types of programs. Also, some
programs in this collection only work on certain TOS versions. However,
there are enough of them for everyone to find a few that suits their needs.
Most are activated by pressing ALT+HELP and most save files in Degas format.
Programs are DUMPIC, FREEZE, KEYSHOT, MEGASNAP, PIC_SNAP, RE-ROUTE, SCRDUMP,
SCRNDUMP, SNAP V1.0, SNAP V3.1 (by a different author), SNAPHELP, SNAPSHOT,
SNAPSHOT 2 (by a different author), SNAPIT, ULTISNAP.
UTL.5035 DUET V1.0 by Andrew Alich - Allows you to connect up any two TOS
based computers (ST, STE, TT or Falcon) to each other and access all drives
connected to the network as if they were connected to a single machine. In
addition, you can print to a single printer using either machine. Connection
between the two computers can be made by means of Serial, MIDI or LAN
interfaces. Program and docs in German, but we've done a RUF translation.
RSCTRANS v1.0 by Michael Schwingen - Extracts the text entries from RSC
files into an ASCII file for the purposes of translation. The translated
text may then be replaced into the original RSC. Unfortunately the program
and docs are in German, but we've done a RUF translation. XTASK V2.13 by
Gary Priest - A nice easy to use graphical front end for controlling tasks
running under Multi-TOS. It allows you to alter the CPU time designated to a
process, kill a process or even put a process on hold temporarily. Xtask
includes extensive on-line Help and is a joy to use. SPOOL V2.0 by Andrew
Mandel - A printer spooler with an accompanying CPX which allows you to
configure it to suit. It runs under interrupt so you can continue to work
within your application whilst you are printing. Output may be sent to
printer or a disk file. A special flexdisk mode allows the spooler to
release the memory used by its buffer back to the operating system when it
has finished. BOOTXS V1.0 by Christer Gustavsson - A GEM program which
allows you to specify which Auto folder programs, ACCs and CPXs are to be
loaded next time you boot up. Very easy to use, but you must run it from the
Desktop and reboot, it doesn't run from an Auto folder! A usable demo of
version 2 is also on disk. It supports several different data sets and may
be run from the Auto folder. FSEARCH V7.4 by Mark Davidson - A file search
and pattern searching program. In simple terms, it allows you to search
specified partitions on your hard drive for files matching your
specifications. It also allows you to search for patterns and words within
specified files. The use of wildcards is supported in both cases. Very well
presented in an easy to use GEM shell. PROFILE V1.04 by Carl Hafner -
Described as the Floppy and Hard Disk Librarian. It reads the directory of
your disk and displays it on screen, prints it out or saves it to an ASCII
file. Other functions include a built-in text editor, a floppy disk labeller
(type in your own text or print the directory contents to the label), a
floppy disk formatter and a search facility. Printer support includes the
ability to create your own driver using the relevant ESC codes.
UTL.5031 BOOTSECTOR CONSTRUCTION SET (BCS) V1.64 by Xavier Roche - A very
comprehensive program which allows you to create your own bootsectors. GEM
based interface with options which allow you to set the screen hertz rate
and include sound files in the bootup sequence. The docs are in French but
the program is in English. CALIGRAPHER QUICK REFERENCE (CQREF) V1.2 by Bill
Aycock - A desk accessory which gives the user multi-functional control
through keyboard commands over the search/replace codes, special character
codes, case conversion and much more, from within Calligrapher. DISKINIT by
T Smith - An ACC which allows you to switch on or off Drive B after boot up
without rebooting the system. Assembler source code included but no docs.
DOUBLE VISION V1.1 by Samuel Streeper - A disk formatter that allows you
format disks that are readable on both single and double sided disk drives.
Single sided users can access up to 400k and double sided users up to 800k.
Can be run as ACC or PRG by changing the file name. Full docs included.
FLIPSIDE V1.1 by Derrick Hall - Allows you create disks so that you can
access both sides with a double sided drive and a folder called SIDE1 for
single sided drives. Runs as either a PRG or ACC. FOZCI v2 by STectre - A
capslock indicator program that uses the floppy drive LED on your ST to give
OFF or ON status. Keyboard commands included plus full docs. FRED WEST by
the MACC LADS - A program which speeds up your printing by intercepting the
GEMDOS and BIOS traps which send characters to the printer and replacing
them with its own routines. ST and Falcon. Similar in concept to FPPRINT.
LOAD INF by Klaus Pedersen - A simple program that gives you the option of
loading DESKTOP.INF information files of your choice without rebooting. Some
restrictions for TOS 1.0 and 1.2 users, so please read the documentation.
Full source code included. PAC PAGE v1.0 by Bill Aycock - Switches a Pacific
Page P*E cartridge fitted to an HP Laserjet, to Postcript or HP PCL mode and
includes the option of sending a Postscript control ¯D end of file command
to the printer. Runs as a PRG or ACC on any ST or TT in any resolution.
PERFSKIP - An ACC which switches the perforation skip on or off on a Deskjet
printer. PROTEST by Adam Millard-Ball - Let your environmental views be
known with this program! Pre-defined protest letters for you to fill in on
many topics.Letters can be printed from within the program and if you like
the program then Friends Of The Earth would like £5 for support. QPL V1.0 by
Jedi/Sector One - A replacement for the PRINTLINE command which claims to be
30 times faster than the blitter. Low res only but compatible with NVDI and
WARP9. RECTRASH by Steve Hughey - Install a recoverable trashcan with this
program. It will run on any ST/STE/TT in any resolution and any TOS version
but is designed for NewDesk (TOS 2.06 and above) users with a hard drive.
You will really need a replacement Desktop like Gemini, Teradesk or KAOSDesk
if you don't have TOS 2.06. With this trashcan you have the option of
recovering discarded files or permanently erasing them. SHAREWARE. SHELL-
FIX. V1.3 by Dan Wilga - This program is designed to remedy a problem with
the operating system calls shel_envir, shel_find, shel_read and shel_write.
These functions normally only work correctly if the shell that runs a
program is the built in GEM desktop. This patch allows the above commands to
be used with programs which were not executed from the GEM Desktop. SHOW
MAUS V1.1 by Bill Aycock - A simple ACC which gives the user the option to
show or hide the mouse pointer or text cursor. SILKBOOT V2e by Mark Slagel -
Installs an executable boot sector on a floppy disk and tests for 2.5 Meg of
memory in cases where TOS thinks it has 4 Meg and corrections are made if
necessary. This is of most use to STE owners who have mixed capacity SIMMs
fixed. Silkboot also bypasses the memory test and forced delay on TOS 2.06
machines. THE WINE MAKERS RECIPE DATABASE V2.0 by Dave Ashbury. - A
comprehensive GEM based recipe database geared towards wine-making needs.
Alcohol Calculator included! A labeller program is also included so that you
can design your own labels or use the ones provided. FILE COPY by K Ullman -
An ACC with an easy to use interface where single or multiple files can be
copied to or from any drive or partition. FILE FIX - Fixes some bugs in TOS
v1.0 which prevent you descending to the full 64 character pathname
supported by TOS and prevent you from using the underscore character in file
names. Only useful if you have TOS 1.0. Mono only.
UTL.5036 PLANTER'S DATABASE (SUPERBASE PROFESSIONAL VERSION) by The Golden
Otter - An extensive listing of almost 1000 common outdoor plants with
comprehensive information on each different species in Superbase Pro format.
The subject matter covered includes species name, common name, type, height,
spread, siting, soil type, main colour, flowering time, planting time,
pruning instructions and more. In addition to the database file, there is an
extensive doc which gives background information on the meanings of terms
and numbers used within the database. PLEASE NOTE:- The database file on
this disk is in Superbase Professional format and IS OF NO USE TO YOU unless
you have Superbase Professional. The Superbase Personal version of this file
is on UTL.5378. Needs 1 Meg.
UTL.5058 LOTTERY5 v3.0 by Robin Fisher - Yet another useful utility to help
assist those of us who participate in the National Lottery. This program
differs from most as it does not work merely on the basis of random
selection (although this is available as an option). Instead, it is aimed
primarily at those of you who run syndicates. The database accomodates up to
260 weeks of draws and allows up to 30 syndicate selections including names
and up to 10 personal selections. Comprehensive statistical analysis charts
out the most and least popular numbers averaged over the weeks that the
program contains data for. This allows you to make an 'educated guess' when
picking next week's numbers. Each week you enter the numbers drawn and the
program will check them against the numbers held by the syndicate. You can
also print out an analysis of the results for each member from within the
program. A lot of research has gone into the creation of this program.
Hopefully a lot of money will come out of it! LOTTERY COMPANION v4.22 by
Mark Butler - Written by one of Britain's best known Shareware authors, LC
is another carefully researched program rather than merely a random number
picker, although it can do that too. Each week you add the draw numbers to
the statistics stored on disk and predictions can be made based on the least
or most commonly drawn numbers drawn over a period of time and three built-
in weighting options are used to improve the accuracy of this forecast. As
you do this, your numbers will automatically be checked against the draw. An
additional feature in this program is the number wheel where you enter the
number of data sets required (you can have up to 1000) and either pick 12
number fields manually or using one of the program's built-in number
generation methods. All possible permutations of six lucky numbers chosen
from your selection of 12. Pattern analysis is also useful as it displays
any patterns that are forming after analysing all draws performed to date.
LC supports print out to any printer and is constantly being updated. This
latest version is fully compatible with the mid-week draw. Suitable for
personal or syndicate use. Can you afford to miss out on this one?
UTL.5096 CD PLAYER V1.4 by Alexander Clauss - Allows you to play audio CDs
on a CD ROM drive. It looks like the control panel of a conventional CD
player and allows you to play individual tracks, repeat tracks, shuffle them
etc. As well as a full display of track number, time etc, CD Player also has
a built-in Database where you can add info such as song title and artist for
each title. CD Player is Multi-TOS compatible but requires MetaDOS and a
MetaDOS audio driver. SHOWSTUFF V2.02 by Carl Hafner - A text and picture
viewer and printer program which displays and prints ASCII text or Degas,
NEO and Spectrum 512 picture files. Can even be installed as a viewer from
your DESKTOP.INF file so that you can double-click these files to view them.
SIMPLEX V1.5 by Christian Ernst - An archiver shell compatible with ARC,
LZH, ZIP and ZOO archivers. It is very easy to use, just drag an archive
onto its icon to decompress the files within it, doing the same with a group
of files or directory will archive them using your chosen default archiver.
Simplex may even be installed as an application so that archives can be
double-clicked to extract their contents. Includes copies of the archiver
programs on disk. Bi-lingual in English and French. SPEEDVIEW V1.5 by
Christian Ernst - This program allows you to view SpeedoGDOS fonts alongside
their font names, particularly useful since the filename BX000003.SPD is
less than descriptive. Its main use would be to view Speedo fonts within an
application which does not support such a feature. This can only be done
whilst running Multi-TOS, although Speedview itself can be run under
ordinary TOS from the Desktop. TEXT ANALYZER v1.9.2 by Dan Ackroyd -
Analyses an ASCII text file and gives statistics on the number of letters,
words, syllables and sentences used. It also gives average letters per word,
average syllables per word, number of words with 1, 2 or 3+ syllables.
Finally you get a FOG index, Flesch index and grading! Now with a nice easy
to use GEM interface thanks to Mario Becroft.
UTL.5100 FIX_GDOS by Dieter Fiebelkorn - This program fixes the problem
with installed GDOS or AMSGDOS and any unclean programming which results in
the infamous "Invalid GDOS Handle" error message. FIX_GDOS can be run from
the AUTO folder or started from the Desktop. HD_PATCH by Wilfred Kilwinger -
Allows you to edit the patchable variables of your Atari AHDI Hard Disk
driver. Only AHDI versions 3.00 and above may be changed. HP_FONTS by Stig
Norin - A selection of Shareware Fonts for use with the HP Deskjet. Fonts
include Hebr_10, Arab_10, Estr_10 and many more. Also included are typeface
and character set codes plus printer drivers for First Word Plus and
Redacteur programs. HP_LJ4 by Donald Bork - A CPX to configure the HP
LaserJet 4. It supports up to 5 storable configurations. LITT_NET by Dirk
Woitha - A comprehensive networking program to connect Atari ST computers in
a two_way network. Can be set up using the supplied configuration ACC.
There's a short English translation included of the larger German docs. To
use the program, you must always access the drive by using drive letter N
(presumably for network). To access a different drive simply change it in
the ACC and then click on N again. STIC V2.12 by Peter Matulat and Jürgen
Arthofer - A Freeware EPROM programmer package. It was designed primarily
for use as a replacement driver for the EPROM programmers produced by Dr
Böhm GmbH (address given for kit of parts) but can communicate with other
EPROM programmers using external modules and guidance is given on how to
create your own. Although not included in the distribution, drivers for PL-
Computerzubehör's RSEPROMMER and Maxon's Junior Prommer were under
development when this package was released. STIC can read and copy ROMs and
EPROMs as well as read an IMG created from a ROM image. In fact it can even
create an IMG of your ROMs so that you can patch the system to suit and
reblow it into fresh EPROMs. The software even allows the creation of patch
files to help you do the job and supplies patches for TOS v1.4, 2.06 and
3.06! Files are split into low and high bytes by the software, although it
can also handle already split files. Larger capacity EPROMs can also be
programmed by using a special adaptor which is available from the authors.
In fact the software can handle anything from 32K to 512K devices. STIC
talks to EPROM programmers which connect to the serial port and it is
perfectly possible that it might work with hardware from other computer
platforms (eg; Mac or PC). Unfortunately both program and docs are in German
but we've done a RUF translation of the docs.
UTL.5101 AGTSHELL V1.0 by Dan Panke - Two programs used in conjunction with
the ADVENTURE GAME TOOL KIT. The original AGT programs are a bit of a pain
as they require the source code and compiled code to be in the same path as
the AGT program files. AGT corrects this and AGT_Shell allows the user to
select the programs to compile or run via the file selector. CALL_TTP V1.0
by Martin Braschler - An interesting program that gives a great deal more
control and flexibility over the use of TTP programs. It installs itself in
the OS and every time a TTP is run, CALL_TTP is called up first. The options
include the ability to switch between white-on-black and black-on-white, a
stopwatch to compare the performance of similar TTP-programs, the ability to
write all output to the printer or a file, the option to switch off the
cursor or make it blink, the ability to extend the length of the TTP command
line and support for pre-configured script files to save the hassle of
typing in the same commands time after time. Must be run from the root
directory of Drive C (hard drive or ramdisk). Mono only. DC_JCHAR V1.01 by
Michael Vederman and Keith Gerdes - Allows you to assign a character to each
direction of a joystick. When you press the joystick trigger, it simulates
entering the characters via the keyboard. 8 characters can be assigned, one
to each direction of the joystick. FLOADER V3.00 by Carstein Reinhardt -
Attempts to reduce the time taken to load programs. Full docs in German but
some translation is given and program is pretty obvious in use. Source code
included. FPU PATCH V1.1 by Hartman Pfitzinger - Allows you to patch
programs written with Turbo C or Pure C so as to optimise them for use with
an FPU. Programs which use a lot of floating point calculations can produce
speed increases of up to 30% when patched. Always patch a backup copy of
your program, just in case it doesn't work! Only of use if you have a PAK
accelerated ST, a TT or a Falcon with FPU. HD_OPTIM V1.00 by Jon Marshall -
A good hard disk optimiser program which will defragment and optimise your
hard drive to speed up disk access time. Included is disk information on
fragmented chains, free space, cross-linked/lost clusters and much more.
Menu driven program with good docs and user options. Will work on 520ST but
a partition greater than 16MB will need 1 Meg. LOCK_CPX V1.0 by L Hendry -
Allows you to prevent other people using your computer while it is
unattended by locking them out until a correct password is entered. It can
also prompt for a password during the boot sequence to prevent unauthorised
access at boot up time. TOSPA306 V1.0 by Markus Fritze - A patch program for
use with TOS 3.06. A text editor can be used to edit the parameter file as a
user option. Obviously you will need to have access to an Eprom blower in
order to make use of your customised ROMs. TT or PAK only. BYTEFREE. V3.3 by
Darin Wayrunen - A small program which gives you information on the memory
and disk space (including ramdisks) in use at any time on your system.
UTL.5102 THING V1.09e by Arno Welzel and Thomas Binder - An excellent
Desktop replacement program and what's more, it's Shareware! THING supports
TOS versions from 1.4 onwards and provides most of the TOS 2 Desktop
features plus many extras. In addition to the base drive, trashcan, folder,
program and file icons, THING adds a clipboard, printer and parent icons.
Each different file type can be assigned its own icon using Edit Icons which
is one of many options from the Extra menu. Program, folder and file Icons
can all be dragged from windows onto the Desktop, where a duplicate appears.
To run the programs, all you do is click on its Desktop Icon. You can also
launch a program by dragging an appropriate data file onto the Desktop Icon.
It even supports object groups, the AV protocol, the Font protocols and
integrates seamlessly with Kobold, ALICE, ST Guide and several other
programs. Well documented. Can be used as a replacement to the GEM Desktop
or as the alternative Desktop for Multi-TOS, Geneva, MagiC, MagiCMac etc.
One of the best replacement Desktops around. THING is currently part of a UK
registration scheme organised by Joe Connor. Highly Recommended. Needs 1 Meg
and TOS 1.4 or better.
UTL.5103M WILKINSON UTILITIES - A collection of programs by Wilkinson
Enterprise. LABELPRT.V1.7 - An excellent label printer program designed to
print labels of your choice using the internal fonts in your printer. It can
also send plain ASCII data in <UNIVERSAL> mode so that any printer can be
used. Label Printer has 2 modes, one-off prints and prints from the database
stored on disk. Databases can hold up to 200 labels and files may be
reformatted into different sizes without any loss of data. Features a very
comprehensive drop-down menu type window and some printer drivers are also
included. Also includes an easy to use configuration program. MUNROIST V1.1
- A specialist database program which stores information about the number of
mountains climbed by the user. MUNROIST contains pre-loaded information on
517 Scottish mountains, made up of 277 Munros and 240 peaks over 3000ft.
Many options such as edit, search, stats and much more. RECBASE V1.3b - A
customised database for storing details of your record collection. Each
database file can store details of up to 200 records and several files can
be held on one disk. Recbase is operated by pull-down menu system and short
cut keys are available for the most frequently used options. Full docs
included. ST_DIARY V1.6 - A very comprehensive program with many features
not found in other programs of this type. ST Diary will continue to function
for more than 1 year and will automatically adjust for leap years and a
standard DS/DD disk will hold two complete years of diary/calender data.
Options include browsing through a page at a time or jumping to a specific
date. Each page is laid out like a conventional diary with a double page
being displayed on screen. Very easy to use and well documented. VIDBASE V.3
- Almost identical to Recbase, but customised for use with video tapes
rather than records.
UTL.5115 WINCOM v1.6UK by Sven Kopacz - Improves window handling and other
system functions when running under MagiC or MagiC Mac. In addition, it
allows most window functions to be accessed by keyboard shortcuts. Wincom
supports the hiding or showing of windows belonging to selected
applications, has various iconification functions (use with ALICE - see
below), allows window cycling (between those belonging to a chosen
application or between all windows) and swapping between applications. It
also has various window topping functions, can switch the mouse on/off and
even has its own built-in task manager. Wincom now supports up to 64
applications with a total maximum of 64 open windows. Now fully translated
into English. ALL ICONIFY ENABLER (ALICE) V0.9 by Sven Kopacz - An Auto
folder program which allows any program to be iconified (shrunk down into a
small window the size of an icon. The only catch is that it requires an
operating system which supports iconification. These are currently MagiC
>=v3, MagiC Mac >=v1.2.4, Multi-TOS, Geneva and N.AES. Please note that only
the first two of these are supported in this initial release of ALICE.
Connect, Thing, Freedom and several other modern applications already
support iconification under the appropriate operating systems. ALICE brings
this same functionality to older programs too.
UTL.5116 GEMAR V3.06 by Steffen Engel - An easy to use GEM based package
which allows you to backup hard drive partitions to SCSI based tape
streamers. This Shareware release creates TAR compatibles archives so that
tapes created with GEMAR can be read on Unix systems and vice versa. Data
may be stored compressed or uncompressed and external archiver programs of
your choice may be used. Backups can be made in GEMDOS mode or as image
backups, especially useful for non-TOS based partitions, although the later
functions is reserved along with several others for registered users. GEMAR
now has both English and German docs and includes its own extensive on-line
Help system. Multi-TOS and MagiC device drivers allowing you to connect a
tape streamer are also supplied. Needs 1 Meg.
UTL.5117 CHARACTER TABLE V1.3 by Mark Baines - A CPX for use with Xcontrol.
It displays the entire system font and shows the ASCII, hex, decimal, octal
and binary values for any selected character. ELEGANCE by Tim Chapman - An
ACC which replaces the built-in system font with a Mac-like equivalent.
GEN_205 by K Crossan - A Shareware statistical analysis program designed
around the National Lottery. It is not a number generator but rather a
program to produce numeric charts, percentage charts, bar graphs and hit
charts based upon actual drawn numbers or your own chosen numbers in the
range 1 to 49. It demonstrates a scientific approach to the laws of
probability and may well provide you with a more logical way in which to
attain those elusive millions! LOTTERY 6 V3.0 by Andy Morgan - Allows you to
store the results of all National Lottery draws from 1994 to 2012 in a
database. These can be analysed to show which numbers have been drawn most
often and how many times they have been drawn. Personal number selections
for up to nine people can be stored in the program and will be automatically
checked for a win when you enter the results of each week's draw. Save is
disabled in this demo version but registration costs just £5 and you get an
up to date database with all draws entered to date. Printout is supported to
Epson compatibles. Colour Only, NOT TOS 2.06. LOTTERY 6 V3.1 by Andy Morgan
- Contains all the features of v3 but with support for syndicates, extra
statistics (most popular numbers, odd/even numbers and numbers drawn from
each band of 10) and the ability to view or edit the estimated prize money.
Syndicate support is very strong allowing up to 180 names to be entered and
automatically checked each week. Shareware fee £10. Both versions are
included so that you can choose which one is most suited to your needs.
Colour Only, NOT TOS 2.06. MOUSEBUTTON by Frogsoft - Reverses the mouse
buttons so that the left button acts as the right and vice versa. Useful if
you left button is broken and you don't want to buy a new mouse! SCAN_RSC by
Dr Bob - Allows you to load up any RSC file and browse its contents or print
them out. Particularly useful for translating RSCs as it ensures you don't
miss any foreign text.
UTL.5118M VIRENDETEKTOR V3.1 by Volker Soehnitz - A comprehensive Shareware
virus killer which can detect and destroy over 50 different types of
bootsector virus and all known link viruses. Floppy drives, hard drives and
RAMdisks can all be checked using Virendetektor. It even checks CPX's for
link viruses although no known virus attacks these, yet! If all that's
not enough, Virendetektor goes further by storing the CRC values of files
for cross referencing so as to quickly detect link virus infection. The
manual for Virendetektor is massive and was originally in German but our RUF
translation makes interesting reading. It's a masterpiece in its own right
explaining clearly and concisely all you will ever need to know about
computer viruses and much more besides. Also included are various other
programs for write-protecting hard drives and RAMdisks and restoring hard
drive partition bootsectors. VD-Quick (also on disk) by the same author
offers fast batch checking of files from a CLI and is utilised by several
other German programs as an external virus checker. The program itself is in
German but easily understood. Would anyone like to translate? Mono only, but
compatible with most mono emulators.
UTL.5119 BRAIN_LR - Designed to analyse the functionality of the left and
right sides of your brain. You are presented with 30 multiple choice
questions designed to gauge how you think about things. It may turn out that
you use one side of your brain much more than the other. In fact you may be
surprised at just how little of your brain potential you are using! Full GFA
source included. DEEP THOUGHTS V1.0 by MUG UK - This program does nothing
more than select a random quote, sometimes thought provoking, often witty,
even weird! Put it in an Auto folder and be greeted by a 'thought for the
day' each time you reboot! FONTKILL by David Troy - When Pagestream exports
a document in Postscript format, it embeds copies all the Postscript type 1
fonts into the file. At the bureau, they usually have to spend time removing
these before they start work. What this program does is to let you remove
Type 1 fonts from the document, resulting in smaller files and smaller time
charges from the bureau. Needs 2 Meg. FONTSWAP 2 by David Becker - Allows
you to subsitute the fonts used in a Postscript document with any others of
your choice. This is particularly useful if someone gives you a document
which uses fonts that you don't have. Some files will be ready to print,
others will need to be tidied up in your DTP package. Regardless, this
program will allow you make use of the documents. Mono Only. SPEED DVS by
Thierry Rodolfo - SpeedoGDOS printer drivers for the HP Deskjet 550C and
Epson models LX800, LQ500, LQ800, LQ850, LQ1000, LQ1050. These have been
tested with Atari Works but should work equally well with other SpeedoGDOS
based applications.
UTL.5120C FUCHSIAS DATABASE V2.8 by Peter Kerr - Did you know that there
are over 400 types of fuchsias? Fuchsias Database is a custom written
database which contains information on all types known to the author. It
gives the common name, size (single, double, semi-double), colour(s) and
plant type for each variant. In addition, you can display data on fuchsias
which match a specific colour, size, type or search by them by name. Entries
may also be marked so that your marked selections can be designated as a
group. Printout is supported to Epson compatibles. You can of course add
more species to the database yourself and there's a humorous file by the
Gosport Fun Factory which can also be loaded into the database if you fancy
a laugh! Includes STOS source, NOT TOS 2.06.
UTL.5162 FREEDOM V1.15E by Christian Krueger and Kolja Koischwitz - This
revolutionary program is primarily intended as a replacement file selector
but is in reality much more! It is non-modal which means that you can have
up to eight file selectors open at once. It supports long file names (on
file systems which use this feature), Multi-TOS drag & drop protocol,
multiple file selection, up to 40 user definable paths, keyboard shortcuts,
pop-up menus, Unix masks and extension lists, AV protocol, file searching
and much more. It puts all Alert boxes into moveable windows (thus replacing
the need for Multidialog or Let Em Fly), has a left handed mode and lets you
change the font and colour used for the directory window. You can also copy,
delete, touch or move files. A history popup displays the last 40 accessed
files (and lets you go directly to their directories). Freedom fully
supports all the standards set forth by Selectric (and implements them in a
compatible fashion) but surpasses it by way of extra features. Whats more,
it employs the use of parallel processing which means that you can perform a
task (such as file searching) while several others are running in the
background. Probably the best file selector on any computer! Top quality
Shareware with a comprehensive English manual. PROBE HOUSE EXPENSE MANAGER
V3.2B by William Wong - A home accounts package which supports up to 60
different accounts, each of which can have up to 60 categories allocated to
it. Detailed reports may be generated with the program and these can be
viewed on screen, printed or saved to disk. Pie charts and bar graphs may
also be generated from your data (which can be imported or exported as
ASCII). Budget reports can be compiled for each month, showing just how much
you have underspent or more likely overspent. Everything is housed in
movable GEM windows and on-line Help is available in ST Guide (UTL.5557)
format. Please note that printout is only supported if (Speedo)GDOS is
installed.
UTL.5163 BOOTSIE v1.74 by Stefen Krey - An excellent tool for creating
customised executable bootsectors. You can have it print up a user defined
message, reduced the boot wait time, switch the cache on or off, switch on
the blitter, set 50Hz or 60Hz, set the step rate for drives A or B, sound a
'bing' when Auto programs load and even guard against viruses. GDOS CHECK
V2.06 - Gives details of all currently installed (Speedo)GDOS fonts and
their sizes. It also allows you to print out a test page to help you
determine where to set your margins to ensure that all text gets printed.
Primarily designed as an aid for Idealist but may be equally useful for
other applications. HOLD IT by Christophe Batholme - Allows you to pause
output to the screen by holding down SHIFT, CONTROL or ALTERNATE. Very
useful for those TTP programs which exit before you've had time to read the
message they display. Can be run from an Auto folder. PROBE HOUSE UNIT
CONVERTER V1.0 by William Wong - Probably the most comprehensive weights and
measures conversion utility ever written. It converts between every known
unit of distance/length, weight, speed, volume, area, density, time,
gravitational force, energy, pressure, temperature, light, magnetic
induction, electric charge, power and plane angle. All in all, PHUC handles
over 120 different types of conversions! It's also GEM based and very easy
to use. SUNFIX V1.0 by Roger Burrows - Allows a Sun compatible CD-ROM drive
to be used on an Atari which is running Extendos v1.21 or Extendos Pro v2
(or later). WORLD CLOCK V1.0A by Dan Wilga - A map of the world appears in a
GEM window. Select where you live and save this as default. From now on, you
can simply click onto anywhere in the world and the local time will be
displayed. The default time of day is taken from your system clock.
Invaluable if you want to make long distance calls without disturbing your
friends at unsociable hours! World Clock can be run as a PRG or ACC and is
both rescalable to suit and multi-tasking friendly. ICONIFY SERVER (ICFS) by
Dirk Haun - Allows you to iconify (shrink down to the size of an icon) any
open window in the same way as is possible with Multi-TOS. This program
allows you to use iconification under ordinary TOS and MagiC. Currently
Kandinsky and a few programs including IconMan and Yukon, support the
iconify protocol. INSYNC V1.0 by William Wong - Lets you set up your
preferred setting (50hz or 60hz) on a colour monitor. If a program then
tries to change that, INSYNC simply resets it to your chosen default.
FISHERMAN'S DATABASE PRO by Owen Rogers - A customised database program
specially designed for fishermen. It allows you to store information on
everywhere you have fished. The sort of information it holds is as follows:-
venue, type of water, cost of day ticket, weight of fish caught, method of
fishing, best bait, species caught and much more. You can even print out a
notes sheet which can be taken with you as a reference guide and added to.
This latest version includes a built-in organiser (to store details of
forthcoming competitions) and phone book (for storing contact numbers for
your favourite fishing tackle shops). In addition, the interface has been
improved, making the program much easier to use. An invaluable aid to
fishermen everywhere. Colour ONLY, NOT TOS 2 upwards. TOS2GEM - Sends the
text output from TOS and TTP programs into a GEM window in much the same way
as Toswin does under Multi-TOS. It is currently supported by Dirk Klemmt's
POVShell and Arno Welzel's replacement Desktop, "Thing", although more
programs are expected to support it in the future. Now in English.
UTL.5164 & UTL.5165 IDEALIST v3.8 by Christophe Bartholme - A beautifully
presented Shareware utility for printing text files. Creates multiple
columns (up to 9) and handles straight ASCII, RTF and 1st Word formats.
Up to four different sizes of text can be used within a single document
and (Speedo)GDOS fonts may be used within your documents. Also supported
are downloadable laser and dot matrix printer fonts and you can of course
use any of the inbuilt fonts in your printer. Other notable features include
converting email text attributes to real attributes, adjustable print
margins, line numbering option, background spooling (up to 36 files can
be in the queue), separate management of continuous and single feed paper,
automatic trimming of long lines to fit available space, page skip mode,
window iconification under Multi-TOS or ICFS and support for long file
names via XFS under Multi-TOS and MagiC. You can configure 1st Word or any
other text editor to be run from within Idealist if so desired. Idealist can
be configured for any printer. Configurations for several 9-pin, 24-pin,
Deskjet, LaserJet, Canon Bubblejets, Epson Stylus, Starjet SJ-48 and the
Atari laser are included. Fully GEMmed and Multi-TOS compatible with a print
preview option. IDEATOOLS - A collection of utilities by Christophe
Bartholme designed to complement Idealist. IDEAFORM V1.7 - Makes source code
listings easier to read by emphasising comments and key words with text
attributes. Exactly how the source file is altered depends on the settings
in the key file, which is user-defined. Key files for Basic, C, C++, Modula
2, Pascal, assembler and Tex are included. Can be run from Idealist or as a
standalone program. IDEABOOK V1.1 - Reorganises the pages in a 1st Word or
ASCII file so that they are in the correct order for folding and stapling so
that they make up a booklet. Can be run from Idealist or as a standalone
program. GDOS CHECK V2.06 - Gives details of all currently installed
(Speedo)GDOS fonts and their sizes. It also allows you to print out a test
page to help you determine where to set your margins to ensure that all text
gets printed. Primarily designed as an aid for Idealist but may be equally
useful for other applications. BLINEX V1.6 - Removes unnecessary blank lines
from ASCII files, therefore saving paper. It also converts between Atari,
Ansi, Mac and PC ASCII files i.e. it translates characters above ASCII 127
correctly between the formats. It also converts Unix ASCII to DOS format so
that it can be read on the Atari. Now with an easy to use GEM interface.
UTL.5168 AIRBAG V1.1 by Apache - A boot selector program which lets you
choose which ACCs and Auto programs are to be run for the current session.
It allows you to specify up to 28 Auto folder programs and 28 ACCs and 10
default sets can be saved for ease of use. You can boot up with a low res
picture and perform a check of your system vectors (useful for detecting
viruses). BACKUP DESTRUCTION UTILITY by Richard Karsmakers - Allows you to
get rid of all backup files in a single operation. You can specify the
extensions of up to 8 different types of backup files you want 'zapped'. BDU
allows you to exclude any directories (up to 8 per partition) or even the
entire partition, from the process and the backup files may be moved to a
specified directory rather than deleted. Fully Multi-TOS compatible.
CHARMAP5 V0.9 by Peter Hellinger - A companion program for SpeedoGDOS 5
which allows you to access the extra characters in TrueType and Type 1 fonts
which lie above the 256 character limitation of the ASCII character set.
These may then be incorporated into your font tables so that they can be
used within SpeedoGDOS aware applications. Please note that this utility
does NOT work with SpeedoGDOS v4 or other GDOS variants, ONLY SpeedoGDOS 5.
The program is in English but the docs are German, although we've done a RUF
translation. Also, note that Charmap5 requires Peter Hellinger's Magic
program (on disk) in order to run). MAGIC MODULAR APPLICATIONS GEM INTERFACE
(MAGIC) 4.00 by Peter Helinger - An alternative GEM interface for Magic
aware applications. Not to be confused with MagiC from Application Systems
Heidelberg. Magic 4.00 runs under TOS, Multi-TOS or MagiC. Unfortunately
both program and docs are in German, although we've done a RUF translation
of the docs. Charmap5 (also on disk) is Magic aware. CHAMELEON CUSTOMISER
V1.1 by Jeffrey Krzysztow - Allows you to patch the ACC loader Chameleon so
that it automatically loads a specified ACC, defaults to a specific path for
ACCs and alter the key combination required to unload an ACC. GENMOUSE V2.5
- Allows you to use a PC mouse connected to the serial port of your ST. Once
you have it set up, you can even use both the ST mouse and the serial mouse
in the same session. RAMCOPY by Terry King - Install as an application, then
every time you double-click a .RAM file (an ASCII file specifying the
destination drive and a list of files), a ramdisk will be created as
specified by the ASCII listing, and the relevant files will automatically be
copied into it.
UTL.5222 & UTL.5223 ET4000 DIY GRAPHIC CARD PROJECT - This is a Shareware
DIY project in which you create the necessary hardware to connect an ET4000
VGA graphic card (designed for a PC) to your ST. It includes PCB layouts
in Laserjet/Deskjet and HP Graphic Plotter formats ready to print out and
use as templates for the adaptor. There's also lots of IMG files detailing
the layout inside your ST and how to go about the necessary modifications.
Finally, there is video mode generation software which will allow you to
set up your VGA monitor for all supported resolutions. This project
concentrates on fitting the adaptor to the Mega ST's VME Bus, but also
gives details of how to modify the design to be used on any ST. Once set up,
you can expect to achieve resolutions of up to 1024x768 (dependent on your
monitor) in 256 colours and True Colour! The project is supplied packed
onto two disks and requires to be extracted to hard drive where it occupies
over 7Mb of space! The software and the docs for the software are in both
English and German, although the docs on the hardware are all in German
(although we've done a RUF translation). ET4000 cards are available cheaply
nowadays and the Shareware fee is modest. Your main cost will be in terms
of time. Please do NOT undertake this project unless you are knowledgeable
in electronics.
UTL.5224C & UTL.5225C NATIONAL LOTTERY SIMULATOR PLUS by Colin
Ballantyne - This is a lottery program with a difference. It doesn't go for
mind-blowing methods of prediction or analysis of past results. So what does
it do? It does what the name suggests, it is a simulation of the actual draw
itself. Enjoy the introduction music to the show, the build-up to the draw
and then the nerve-racking draw itself, all performed accurately and with
the full atmosphere of the real thing. This latest revision sees the
graphics revamped to match those on the TV show more accurately. It has lots
of other extras such as the ability to pick the lottery machine and ball set
(different ball sets equate to different randomising algorithms, some of
which are really wierd!). There are other new features like selection time,
selection interval, draw bonus, print numbers, quick draw and quick
multidraw. What's more, the music and speech are not 'borrowed' from the
show either, they are reproduced by Glasgow music students! A real fun way
of picking those elusive numbers. There's even a cheat's mode so that you
can dupe your friends into thinking you've won!
UTL.5227 DRUG GLOSSARY by W G Jones - A Supercard (included on disk) format
database containing brief details of over 2200 generic and brand-named
drugs, together with a range of vitamins, minerals and other preparations
often used as drugs. AL'S VIRTUAL FILE MANAGER V1.1 - A program launcher
with a difference. There is no limit to the number of entries which can be
added to the list and directories can be added as well as programs.
Documents can be associated with programs so that you select the document
and the appropriate text editor loads. You can instantly open any specified
directory with a double click on the appropriate item in the AVFM window.
Programs which require parameters to be passed to them can have this
specified in the config file too. File names can be up to 30 characters long
and can have comments attached to them. All in all, a very handy program to
have around, especially if you have a hard drive. If using TOS 1.2, AVFM
only works if you have a replacement file selector installed. This problem
does not exist with other TOS versions. FASTER THAN LIGHT (FTL) TEXT VIEWER
by Antoine Calando - As the name suggests, a very fast scrolling text
viewer. Install it as an application so that double-clicking a text file
bring up FTL rather than TOS's Show Print Cancel dialog. DA CAPO by Dr
Francisco Mendez - A comprehensive name and address database program. As
well as being a nice easy to use database program, Da Capo supports GDOS
fonts, non-modal 3D dialogs, the GEM Clipboard, colour icons and the AV
protocol. It has very flexible import and export facilities and a powerful
search engine. There's even an Auto folder program to remind you about
forthcoming birthdays and other important events. Printout is supported to
most popular 9-pin, 24-pin, Deskjet and Laser printers. Perhaps the best
database program ever written! Program now in English but docs in German.
This Shareware version limits the number of records you can enter, apart
from that it's fully functional.
UTL.5228 ST2NC - A collection of programs and documentation for
transferring files from the Amstrad NC-100 notebook computer to the ST. Full
instructions on the communications settings, wiring of the serial cable and
other pertinent information is given. There's also a demo version of Arnor's
Protext v6 word processor which is particularly handy as the NC-100 has a
version of Protext built-in as standard and the file formats are therefore
directly compatible. The demo of Protext needs 1 Meg, but everything else on
the disk will run on a 520. MANUALIZER V2.0 by Anthony Watson - A nice easy
to use program which lets you print out ASCII text in landscape or portrait
format or as A5 booklets. In addition, you can use up to three fonts in your
document. One of the few manual creation programs which is not specific to
Hewlett Packard printers, although it does work on them too. Ideal for
printing out those readme files. Requires GDOS or SpeedoGDOS to be installed
if you are printing to non-HP printers.
UTL.5265 ARKUS V1.00 - A font manager program for use with SpeedoGDOS, NVDI
3 and Calamus. It displays the names of fonts from Calamus, TrueType,
Postscript Type 1 and SpeedoGDOS fonts. It also displays copyright
information and other useful data about the fonts. If you are using NVDI 3,
you can adjust the caches independently of each other and de-install loaded
fonts. BATFAX - A Shareware fax program. It converts ASCII or Ist
Word/Wordplus files into STraight FAX compatible files ready for
transmission. Similarly, received faxes (automatic and manual receive are
both supported) can be printed to Epson compatible printers or converted to
text format. CDBROWSEV1.3 by Keith Lord - A Shareware program which reads
CDs that use the ISO9660 or High Sierra file formats. It can display the
CD's volume descriptor information (such information as the CDs author,
publisher, creation date, copyright info, etc) as well as its directory
structure. CD Browse can also display text files from the CD. It is NOT a
CD-ROM Driver and does not integrate your CD into the Atari file system!
However, it does allow you to poke around your CDs and see whats there. CD
BROWSE does not use any SCSI-2 commands,so it should work with most CD-ROM
drives. The program also requires an ICD host adaptor (it probaly won't work
with early ST host adaptors). CDBROWSE.PRG does NOT require MultiTOS or any
other form of CD-ROM driver software. CLAC V1.1 by Eero Tamminen - An
expression evaluating program (ie.calculator) which has some functions
rarely found in any other calculator. CLAC is composed of two internally
separate components. The user interface (=UI) gets the expressions and takes
care of the variables and output, whereas the 'expression engine' calculates
the expression strings given to it by UI. Some of the advantages of CLAC are
- The expression engine is OS independent as it includes only ANSI C. There
can be several different UI's. The current text interface is also OS
independent. More complex expressions can be evaluated without making the
program exessively complex, thus easing up the debugging and addition of new
features. OBSERVER V2.00 by Terry King - An excellent document displayer
with extensive features such as 3D menus, extensive printing controls,
powerful wildcard and joker searching, compatibility with UN*X documents,
four fonts, colour control and built in picture displayer. Observer works in
all three resolutions and you can save your preferences. The Observer is
intended to be used as an installed application on a hard disk that will
load documents automatically when selected but can also be used with floppy
drives. THE OBSERVER MENU SYSTEM (TOMS) v2.0 by Terry King - An excellent
shell for the Observer Document Displayer. It runs in medium or high res and
allows you to create your own menus, where each menu item has a text file
associated with it, which loads when that item is selected. This makes the
program ideal for your own uses, such as creating a catalogue of your disks,
records, CDs etc. TOMS uses an external DAT file to set up the menu and
runtime so no re-compiling of the program is needed. You can also load a
Degas Picture to be displayed with the menu. The Floppyshop catalogue uses a
customised version of TOMS.
UTL.5266 BOMBER by Christian Kruger - A post mortem analysis tool to trap
system crashes when running software with the NOVA Graphics Card, so as to
help identify the problem with the software. Full (German) docs included
plus a RUF translation. DESKCLOCK V1.0 by Yanick Dufresne - A corner clock
which runs as an ACC or PRG under MultiTOS. C source included. DISKOPUS
V1.53a by Thomas Nilsen - An excellent multi-utility program. Features
include renaming, deleting, moving, copying and touching of files and
folders, creation of folders, viewing of 5 different picture formats, de-
packing of Atomic V3.5 & Ice V2.40 data and executable files, access to the
GEM Accessory Menu, changing of file attribute, disk information, system
information, extensive bootsector tools and much more. Extesive docs.
EASY_PGP V.0.90 by Manfred Ssykor - A simple to use Shareware GEM based
front end for use with Pretty Good Privacy, the data encryption program.
TOS2GEM - Re-directs the output from TOS and TTP files to a GEM window,
rather than have them take over the entire screen display. FAZE by Damien
Jones - A simple screen saver which is installed in the AUTO folder. Uses
only 34K of Ram and is easy to configure. Full docs included. FORMINT V2.3
by Christian Colson - An excellent disk formatter which runs under MultiTOS.
It can format DOS compatible or extended disks and run in the background.
French docs but program in English. Can replace the built-in Copy/Format
dialog in Multi-TOS. MEMSPEED V1.0 by Torsten Lang - Checks the available
bandwidth of the Ist level cache, the 2nd level cache and the mainboard
memory. This is done for ST and TT memory areas as far as they are available
and if there is enough free RAM. MULTICOPY by E G Richards - A nice easy to
use disk copier. It reads the disk into memory and writes out as many copies
as you require without re-reading the disk (assuming you have enough memory
of course). N_MENTIM V1.3 by Noud van Kruysbergen. - An accessory which
shows the current time and date in the accessory menu bar. These are taken
from the GEMDOS time and not from the keyboard. REDOC by Mark Eastlick - A
document displayer which gives the option of reading documents of up to 90
columns. No docs as such but program is pretty easy to use. STTOPC V1.1 by
Bill Godfrey - An MS-DOS program which runs on IBM PC's and compatibles,
allowing them to read data directly off an Atari ST disk. The disk can be
single or double sided and have 9 or 10 sectors per track. ULTIMEM V1.0 by
Ijaz Hussain. - Allows you to make your machine behave like it has 512K, 1
Mb, 2.5 Mb or 4 Mb of memory. If you are an STE owner it will allow you to
mix 1024k simms and 256k simms to give 2.5 Megabytes of memory (not usually
possible). Useful for compatibility testing when developing software and it
also gets round the problem of programs that do not normally run on machines
with more than 1 Mb.
UTL.5291 FLOW CHART COMPILER V1.0 - Allows you to create your own problem
solving flow charts using a unique flow chart design language. The finished
source code can then be compiled and displayed in a GEM window or printed
out. The language bears a striking similarity to modern basics and should
therefore be easily picked up. APPLIER V1.0 by John Eidsvoog - An innovative
program which gives the Desktop's Install Application function, added
flexibility. It allows a single file type to invoke up to 8 different
applications and lets you pass commands to the application in order to
invoke the main application in different ways (eg double click onto an LZH
file while holding the left Shift key to list its contents or while holding
down the ALT key to extract its contents). CHAIN ST V1.2 by Tony Harris - A
GEM based program which must be installed as an Auto application on TOS 1.4
or later. It sets up a ramdisk of your chosen size and copies a pre-defined
list of files into it. The advantage Chain ST has over other programs which
automatically copy files into a ramdisk on startup, is that it allows up to
ten GEM programs to be run as Auto applications on boot up, rather than the
usual one. Can be used with Auto GEM (UTL.3232) if you have TOS v1.0 or 1.2.
Q2MONO V2 by Awe Q2 - A mono emulator which gets installed on the bootsector
of a floppy. You can set the emulation speed and whether or not screen
updates should be performed during disk accesses. There's even an optimised
version which makes use of the blitter (if available) to speed up emulation.
STOSSER MULTI-MEDIA DISPLAYER by Tony Greenwood - This latest incarnation of
the STOSSER DOCUMENT DISPLAYER has lots of extras over other displayers.
Your text can be edited using the displayer's in-built editor, there's in-
built animation and sound (13 types of chip music and three sound sample
formats are supported) studios and up to 15 fonts and unlimited pictures can
be used in your documents. What's more, your finished documents may be
packed using one of six common packers. The amount of user control over
everything is staggering. Calling it a document displayer is misleading,
it's close to being described as an authoring kit for multi-media
presentations! TTF VIEW by Trevor Blight - A simple but handy utility which
displays a True Type font on screen without the need for SpeedoGDOS 5 or
NVDI 3 to be installed. This makes it useful for checking out new fonts
without having to install them and load up an application to view them. MONO
only. iPRN V2.02D by Peter Missel - Yet another printer accelerator. This
one claims to speed up printer output by up six times the normal. It also
reduces the 40 second timeout experienced if you try to print with no
printer attached. The demo has some limitations and registered users get
some extras thrown in too. PYSGHAM v2 by STectre - A virtual drive
management program. You can create up to eight virtual drives and each drive
corresponds to a folder on a real drive eg; D:\UTILS\WORDPLUS\LETTERS\ could
be assigned as virtual drive N. This means that you access the folder's
contents by simply opening Drive N on the Desktop and all file operations
using Drive N will be re-directed to D:\UTILS\WORDPLUS\LETTERS\. A great
program which eliminates the need to wade through nested folders on a hard
drive system.
UTL.5297 1ST DIR by STectre - A simple directory lister. It displays the
contents of any specified drive or the current directory to the screen.
COMPOSE CHARACTERS KEYBOARD DRIVER V1.5 by Pascal Fellerich - Allows you to
type 'foreign' characters easily on any nationality of keyboard. You do this
holding down the ALT key and typing the two (or more) characters which make
up the character required. This makes the typing of characters using umlauts
and circumflexes very easy on UK and American keyboards. More complicated
characters such as those used in some Eastern European languages are just as
easy to implement. Also includes a mouse speed up utility. THE COOKIE
MONSTER v0.5 by Cajun - Saves out a listing of all installed Cookies. Both
the Cookie identifier and its full name are listed for recognised Cookies,
as well as the identifiers of any unrecognised ones. Cookie Monster
currently recognises 357 Cookies. CRYPTAR V3 by Ranceme Productions -
Encrypts a file using a 64-bit CRC. This gives you only a 1 in
18,446,744,073,709,551,616 chance of breaking the code without the correct
password! What makes Cryptar better than most encryption programs is that it
creates a duplicate file to encrypt rather than overwriting the original.
LEXICON v2.00 by Ian Clarke - An odd utility which allows you to 'emulate'
keyboard shortcuts by drawing the appropriate letter on screen with the
mouse! More usefully, you can define a symbol to simulate holding down the
CTRL, ALT and SHIFT keys (or any combination of them) together so that
complicated keyboard shortcuts are achieved easily. JOKE JAHANH by STectre -
A fun program which mixes up randomly selected verbs, nouns and adjectives
to make up amusing (or unamusing!) stories. In English and Norwegian.
MEMSPEED v1.0 by Torst Lang - Tests the bandwidth of the first level cache,
second level cache and main ST and TT memory. Ideal for testing out
different RAM expansion cards. Docs in German but we've done a RUF
translation. MAKE FONT LIST V1.09e by Vincent Godefroy - Simply select the
location of your fonts directory and a listing of all GDOS, SpeedoGDOS and
Calamus fonts, along with their file sizes and full font names will be
displayed on screen or saved to disk. WORLDSAT V1.4 by W G Jones - Allows
you to calculate the position of over 100 geo-stationary orbital satellites
from any location in the UK. This enables you to align your TV satellite
dish optimally to receive transmissions from selected satellites. Although
data for geographical locations in the UK is built-in, users from around the
world can also use this program if they know the latitude & longtitude of
their home location. RESCUE ST V1.0 by Tony Harris - A impressive Shareware
multi-purpose ACC. Its functions include crash analysis, exception trapper,
interrupt clearer, number converter (decimal, hex, binary), ASCII lookup
table, hertz toggle, memory fixer (make your ST think it has less memory for
compatibility testing etc), 68000 instruction set, OS functions, Gemdos
errors, view picture file, format disk, create folder, and much more. SCAN
DISK V1.03 by Vincent Godefroy - A directory lister. You can scan for all
files matching any of the 27 pre-defined extensions or add up to 9 of your
own. They can be printed with/without time/date stamps and extensions and
you can specify how many columns are used., Output can be viewed or saved to
disk. BOOTXS V2.20 by Christer Gustavsson - A GEM program which allows you
to specify which Auto folder programs, ACCs, CPXs, DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF,
MINT.CNF, GEM.CNF etc, are to be loaded next time you boot up. Very easy to
use and much better thought out than many similar programs. This latest
version now runs from the Auto folder, despite being GEM based. Certain
restrictions on this version, register for the full version. CEADEP by Cajun
- A file encryption program. It scrambles your file using any chosen
password, but beware, it overwrites the original file and can only be
restored by entering the correct password. For those who need more security,
you can use two passwords. CEADEP can also scrubs files (permanently erase
them) from your disk. Docs in ST Guide format, ST Guide Lite supplied on
disk. KDCE by Magnum Software - A configuration editor for Kwik Disk (an ACC
which speeds up disk accesses). It will create a tailor made ACC, Auto
program or bootsector installable version of Kwik Disk specially for your
system. You can set the step rate for A & B, write verify status and screen
colours. KDCE will then write out the appropriate copy of Kwik Disk to your
boot drive.
UTL.5300 BOOT EDITOR V8.0 by GEn & Wax - A highly polished bootsector
customiser. It lets you install one of six custom bootsectors (plasma,
fractal etc) onto your disk. You can also store any bootsector in its built-
in database and integrate it with the vital data (tracks, sectors, sides
etc) of any disk. The program also displays the contents of any bootsector,
informs you whether or not it is executable and can even check for viruses.
SUBSTATION LEVEL by Kenton Dalziel - A new level for Unique Developments'
Substation. Please not that this is not a free standing program, merely a
data file. It only works with the full version of Substation. VCR DOCTOR by
Steve Dent - A diagnostics program for finding faults with video recorders.
You simply select the make and model of your VCR and are given the first
known fault for that model. Work your way through these until you come to
the appropriate fault. The database covers dozens of makes and models of VCR
along with countless common faults encountered by the author over many years
of repairing them. VCR Doctor is not a step by step guide to repairing VCRs,
merely an easy method of diagnosing what the fault it. Printout is supported
to Epson and HP compatible printers. A fuller version with more VCR models
and more faults, is available upon registration. REMOTE CONTROL by Donald
Bork - CPX modules for controlling the HP Laserjet 4, 4P and 4L. They allow
you to change the print quality, memory settings, page setup and font type
and size, all things which cannot be done from the dip switches. The CPX's
are in German but the doc is in English. Register for the English CPX's.
Needs to be used with Xcontrol on UTL.3879. KATALOG MAKER v1.06 by Christoph
Spengler - A tool for use with ST Guide (UTL.5557). Its purpose is to create
a catalogue of all your hypertext files, essentially linking them all
together from a main menu. It effectively replaces STOOL the cataloguing
program supplied with ST Guide. IKARUS V0.23 - You manouvre your way around
a 3D village with a large degree of control over the various interactive
elements (such as cars, birds, colours etc). Explore the village or shoot
down the flocks of birds. Multi-TOS compatible, acting as a welcome
diversion from work in a multi-tasking environment. A strange program which
defies any attempt to be categorised, it borders on virtual reality but
lacks the headset! TT ONLY or Falcon with an FPU. SET CLIPBOARD by More Soft
- Allows you to specify the directory to be used by all programs which
support the GEM Clipboard, rather than it defaulting to C:\CLIPBRD. NEWDATE
3 by Lionel Ruiz - An Auto folder program which is the next best thing to a
battery backed clock. Each time you set it, it saves your current settings
to disk, so that you just need to adjust the date by one digit when you boot
up each day, rather than having to go through the whole procedure again.
SIG2GEM - Converts Signum fonts into GEM format for use with GDOS or That's
Write.
UTL.5338 JUNIOR OFFICE V3.04 by TKR Software GmbH - This is a cut down
version of the fax module from Tele Office, and has been released as
Shareware. Junior Office is a well featured program capable of creating
faxes from ASCII text and IMG graphics and sending/receiving them using a
Class 1 or 2 fax modem. In addition, you can dial 'Fax-U-Back' services,
auto receive incoming faxes when working in another application and maintain
a name and address box of fax numbers to make it even easier to fax commonly
used numbers. Either the entire package or the send/receive module can be
run as an ACC if desired. It is undoubtedly the most polished of all fax
software for the Atari, with everything being easily configured from menus
and icons. In fact you'd be surprised at just how simple it is to use. This
version only imports ASCII text but the registered version includes drivers
for many different applications, so that fax files can be generated directly
from your favourite word processor or DTP package. In addition, the
registered version has a number of bells and whistles not included here.
Please note that Junior Office is NOT compatible with Freedom and will seize
up if Freedom is installed. Also you need (cSpeedo)GDOS and an appropriate
printer driver installed if you want to print out faxes. Needs to be run
from hard drive. Very highly recommended.
UTL.5339 ANOTHER CD-PLAYER (ACDP) V1.01 by Christian Mittendorf - Audio CD
driver for use with MetaDOS. It has been designed for use on the Falcon with
FALCON_BOS but should work on any ST/e with the standard MetaDOS drivers,
although this is untested as yet. ACDP has many functions which include
playing the audio tracks, reading the actual table of contents of the CD,
stopping the song, changing to the next song and more. Runs as a PRG or ACC.
ICD ESDI by Paul W.Shahood - Software designed to be used with ESDI hard
drives. The drive and its parameters are installed into the ICDFMT.DAT file.
It is supplied with two entries for the 4520 controller, one set up for 34
sectors, the other for 17. LABEL by Damien Jones - Renames files, folders
and volume labels with extended characters or lowercase characters. MEDJMP2
V2.0 by Brian Duff - A small AUTO program for non-monitor users which
changes the screen resolution before the AUTO programs are loaded. EASY
MONEY v1.0 by Anthony Watson - A user-friendly Shareware program to help you
keep track of names, addresses, phone numbers, invoices, transactions and
much more. Includes a powerful search option which allows you to search all
sections at once. SGDOS - Four printer drivers for use with SpeedoGDOS. They
support the Epson Colour, HP Deskjet 550C, LBP_8_4 and TEXAS-MW printers.
STICKYMOUSE by Damien Jones - Simple program that allows you to turn the
left mouse button on and off with the right mouse button. Source code
included. MOUSEBOOT v2.03 by Herwig - An boot up selector program which
lets you switch on or off ACCs and Auto folder programs. You can set up a
number of pre-configured sets for different purposes. Mono ONLY, NOT TOS
2 upwards. TECNOBUG by Joaquin Ferrero - Patch for Technobox CAD/2 to
correct the ESC bug. ULTRASCREEN V1.0b by Yannick Gayral V1.0b - A big
screen emulator for the STE. It can extend the screen size to 640x480 or
640x800. MONO ONLY, STE ONLY.
UTL.5340 ADAPTAKEY PATCH by OXO Concept - French AUTO Folder program which
allows you to customise your keyboard to the layout of that for other
countries. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for translating the docs into
English. ARJ_BETA 9.95 (rev.3.084) by Hans Wessels - This is possibly the
first ST implementation of the ARJ compressing system and is currently being
updated and modified with a user interface promised soon. Much work has and
is being done on this comprehensive compressing system. Very extensive
documentation is included with ARJ.BETA and the various supplied versions of
UNARJ. Documentation does include various ways to get ARJ.BETA up and
running either by using an alternative Desktop or installing as an installed
application. The UNARJ programs supplied are FAST and the tables provided
show that this implementation of ARJ is a powerful contender against ZIP and
LHARC etc. COOKIEXX V1.0 by Marc Billiet - Creates a Cookie Jar at startup
(on TOS versions below 1.6) of a size that the user can choose by renaming
the xx part of the filename to the required size. HEADMINI by Merdoc Macgee
- This program is meant to be used in conjunction with HEADSTART or TOS
1.4's autobooting capability for autobooting any program when you desire an
additional pause before having that program executed. HTML_2KRZ by Wils
Ekholm - A *.KRZ-File for Everest. It is designed to speed up the
development of HTML v2.0 documents using the Everest text editor (or an
editor that can handle Everest *.KRZ Files). This should reduce the amount
of tedious typing etc. JARXXX by Dan Wilga - Identical in concept to
COOKIEXX above, making a fully functional Cookie Jar available to users of
TOS versions below 1.6. LASCAN V3.1 by Ronald Andersson - Comprehensive
collection of 29 Files for use with the LaceScan Package. Extensive
documentation included to help you get the best out of this program. Also
included is a mouse accelerator and large screen emulation with full command
using keys.
UTL.5341 PACK-CDK by Philippe Galmel - Comprehensive Shareware program for
Calamus users which gives the ability to send Calamus files to a bureau or
another machine for output. The program outputs the selected documents, all
fonts used and an ASCII comment file (with printing instructions for each
document) to either a folder or LZH archive. Archiver included. Thanks to
Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. PINATUBO V1.8.1 by Michael
Schwingen - Universal driver for Maxon's Junior- and Easyprommer as well as
the Vesuv of Rossm*ller device. Also supported is a Megabit adaptor
(supports 27010-27080 devices) as published (as a DIY project) in ST
Computer as well as 16-bit EPROMs via the SWB16 adaptor. Unfortunately both
program and docs are in German. PSPRINT by Dr Karl Albert Brokstad - The
ultimate intention of this program is that you should be able to drag any
text file onto it and it will translate the file into PostScript format,
which is either stored or sent to the printer. At the moment it can only
handle simple text files but may be extended to handle pictures (*.IMG) and
drawings (*.GEM). ZCONTROL V0.24+ by Ralf Zimmermann - This is a beta
version and runs ONLY under multi-tasking Systems. It will bomb-out if you
try to start it under Single TOS. ZCONTROL is an alternative to XCONTROL
(without the bugs) and will load the same CPX modules. It supports the
following protocols:- Drag & Drop, Iconify (supports the Iconify Server by
Dirk Haun if OS does not ordinarily support iconfication) and the AV
protocol and allows you to run up to four different modules at the same
time. Zcontrol can be operated via keyboard or mouse and offers the user a
great deal of control over CPX's. Shareware with support through
CyberSTrider in the UK.
UTL.5371 BOXKITE V1.61 - A replacement file selector which is very similar
to Selectric. Boxkite offers most of the Desktop's standard functions (copy,
move, delete, rename etc) from the file selector, supports long filenames
under MinixFS, has keyboard shortcuts, pop up menus and much more. In
addition, the file selector can be resized like a window to display more (or
less) info on the files. DR FLOPPY - A disk sector editor in much the same
vein as Knife ST but more primitive as it is entirely keyboard operated and
does not use GEM. Apart from that, it offers all the editing and searching
facilities you're ever likely to require. WARNING! You are liable to lose
data if you don't know what you are doing, so make a backup first!
FLAMETHROWER V0.7 - A weird multi-purpose utility which lets you change the
system date/time, set the default printer to Epson without using
Control.ACC, change the screen colours, bring up the item selector and even
report on the largest block of free memory. Flamethrower does it all and is
even more useful if used with Codehead's Hotwire program. KEYEDIT - Allows
you to remap the keys on your keyboard to suit. Of most use if you need to
access one or more character which are not normally available from the
keyboard. It saves back a small PRG which can be double-clicked to change
the keyboard setup or placed in an Auto folder. CV VIDEO V1.0 by Carlos
Varela - A video film database program which gives info on the cast, the
plot and viewing suitability. Unfortunately this Shareware version only
lists about 20 films. The full version has many more. KITTY LOCK by Erin
Monaco - Activate before leaving your desk and keyboard activity will be
buffered until your return, upon which you enter the keyboard and the buffer
is cleared, ready for you to restart. Designed to prevent pets and children
from ruining your precious documents! LAUNCHER V1 by F10 Software - A
program launcher which will execute a named program from its menu, then
return to the Desktop when you exit from the selected program. Most useful
to owners of hard drives as it saves them having to dig through folders
searching for particular files. F&B PRINT - Prints out an ASCII file by
specifying all front pages, all back pages or both front and back. It also
lets you set such things as margins, lines per page, printer initialisation
codes, headers etc. ST READER V3.10 by SKWare One - Yet another document
displayer. This one can be installed as an application so that it is called
up when you double-click a text file, or it can be used as a stand alone
program. It displays text in 80 columns and runs in all three resolutions.
In addition, ST Reader can convert text to and from 1st Word and ASCII
formats and the display font can be changed to suit. There's lots more
functions available making it as good as most doc displayers. VIGILANT by
James Ingram - A virus killer which runs as an ACC or PRG. What makes this
one so different is the fact that it can kill viruses in memory without the
computer having to be reset. It recognises the Signum, Kobold, Ghost and
Green Goblins viruses. It obviously kills viruses on disk too and can switch
off and on the executability of a disk for testing purposes. ATARI-CRYPT-O-
CONV - by Dragan Espenschied - An odd program which converts an ASCII file
into a collection of unreadable characters. Simply install the appropriate
GDOS font (supplied) in order to be able to read the encrypted file. Needs
to be run from a CLI. Includes an ACC for switching the encryption on or off
for keyboard input. DIRSORT V1.1 by Christoph Zwerschke - Allows you to re-
order your Auto folder programs, ACCs and CPXs, so that they load up in a
specified sequence. Automatically reads the Auto folder and root directory
of your boot drive, but can be changed within the program. DISK CAKE V2.1 by
Christoph Zwerschke - Displays disk usage as a pie chart. You can of course
specify any disk/partition or an individual directory. Double-click files to
display their attributes. Double-click folders to display a pie chart of
their contents. Lots of user configurable options. TWP v3.0 - Converts Thats
Write or Wordplus v4 files to Word Perfect 5 format or Word Perfect 5 & 6
files to Thats Write format.
UTL.5378 PLANTER'S DATABASE (SUPERBASE PERSONAL VERSION) by The Golden
Otter - An extensive listing of almost 1000 common outdoor plants with
comprehensive information on each different species in Superbase Personal
format. The subject matter covered includes species name, common name, type,
height, spread, siting, soil type, main colour, flowering time, planting
time, pruning instructions and more. In addition to the database file, there
is an extensive doc which gives background information on the meanings of
terms and numbers used within the database. PLEASE NOTE:- The database file
on this disk is in Superbase Personal format and IS OF NO USE TO YOU unless
you have Superbase Personal. The Superbase Professional version of this file
is on UTL.5036. Needs 1 Meg.
UTL.5422 ELFBACK V2.4 - A hard drive backup utility which uses compression
to fit more data onto each disk. It can format DD or HD disks and allows you
to select individual files to be backed up or restored. It even supports
incremental backups. 680X0CAC V0.2 by Ralph Zimmerman - A CPX module which
lets you set the data, instruction and ST RAM caches of the 68020 or 68030
CPU on or off. Invaluable if you want to run ST games on a PAK, TT or
Falcon. It will also work on the various 68020 processor upgrades on the ST.
MAGGIE BOOT by The Resevoir Gods - Writes a bootsector which displays the
'Maggie' logo, some text and morphs some shapes. The installer corrects a
bug in TOS's "force media change" routine, so that the directories of new
disks are always read (prevents the wrong data getting written to the disk).
JEDI by Ralph Zimmerman - A GAL assembler which allows you to assemble and
disassemble GAL16V8 and GAL20V8 devices. It implements the PALASM syntax and
is therefore syntax compatible with the Maxon GAL assembler. Regrettably,
both program and docs are in German, although we've done a RUF translation
of the docs. To be honest, you'll need to do a bit more work on the docs in
order to make sense of this one. Obviously a PALASM compatible hardware GAL
programmer will be required in order to make use of this software. FILEEDIT
by Philip Taylor - Allows you to edit data within any type of file and
supports ASCII characters above 128 (i.e. allows you to enter these from the
keyboard). Ideally suited to editing fonts, printer drivers and
import/export modules. BOOTSAVE by Matt Smith - Reads in the bootsector from
any disk and saves it in a library file. Primarily of use for demos and
games which run from the bootsector. Its purpose is to be able to restore
the bootsector to the disk, should it ever become corrupted. In other words,
it performs the same function as 'Restore Bootsector' in UVK. Please note
that no bootsectors are supplied with the program. You must add your own to
create the library.
UTL.5423 APP LIST V0.4 by Ralph Zimmerman - A Multi-TOS/MagiC utility which
displays information on all currently running tasks. It displays the
applications ID, program type and memory used for each application.
Information is updated in real time. DISK BOX V1.2 by Kari Heimonen - A
custom written database which allows you to keep track of your floppy disk
collection. It reads in the directory of a disk and stores the names, sizes
and date/time stamp of the files in the database. Comments can be added to
disks as well as individual files. Searching can be performed on program
name or disk/program comments. You can even compare the contents of a disk
in the drive to its database entry just in case any files have changed. This
Shareware version allows 40 disks to be held in the database. The full
version has this restriction removed. MOVIE BOX 2.6 by Kari Heimonen - A
custom written database designed specifically for the film enthusiast. You
can enter such details as stars, co-stars, director, photographer, film
company, year of release and so on. These categories can be used for
performing searches and the results can be viewed or printed. There's also
links to additional data where you can put in a short write up, your own
comments and transcribe any reviews. This Shareware version stores details
of up to 50 films. Register for the unlimited version. MARK BUTLER
ENCRYPTION V1.01 by Manfred Ssykor - A data encryption/decryption program
named after the person who devised the encryption algorithm. It doesn't
claim to be as secure as PGP but is much easier to use, takes up less disk
space and should be more than adequate for personal use. BOOTSECTOR RE-
INSTALLER v1.74 by Tronic - Lets you install 14 different customised
bootsectors onto your disks in this demo version. The full version lets you
install anti-viruses, virus free bootsectors and bootsector utilities. You
can also re-install game and demo bootsectors which have been damaged.
UTL.5426 S3-ST V2.30 by Keith Baines - Lets you transfer files between an
Atari computer and a Psion Series 3 or 3A personal organiser. As well as
being able to copy files between the two machines, you can view files on
either machine using your Atari screen, print files from either machine to a
printer connected to the Atari and delete files or create folders on either
machine. This software provides a graphical interface similar to the GEM
Desktop from which you carry out all operations. Another program allows you
to use your Psion databases directly on the ST or export data to the GEM
Clipboard for import into your word processor. This package includes all the
software and documentation you need to get the two computers 'talking' to
each other. All you will need to buy is the Psion 3-Link (PC version) to
physically connect the machines. RESISTOR by Denis Brookes - Helps you
determine the resistance and percentage tolerance of any resistor by
entering the appropriate colours onto the diagram on screen. Invaluable for
anyone working with electronic components. Colour only. THING BACKGROUND
COLLECTION - A collection of almost 50 colour IMGs designed to be used with
the Thing replacement Desktop on UTL.5102. They replace the plain Desktop
with a nice graphic screen, usually made up of lots of small tiles which
blend together seamlessly. These Desktop backdrops (as they are called) can
of course be used with other Desktop replacements such as NeoDesk and Ease
or with the GEM Desktop using Deskpic on UTL.4370.
UTL.5431 CALL FSELECTOR V1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX which calls up the GEM
file selector (or your chosen replacement) from within any GEM based
program. TDK DAILER V1.1/2.0 by Grab A Chair Software - Allows you to store
up to six telephone numbers and dial them from your ST simply by holding the
handset to the monitor speaker. You don't even need a modem! DIPS - A CPX
which allows you to change the internal dipswitch settings in the Mega STE
and TT. The selected settings always over-ride the hardware defaults. These
dip switches control such things as high density and DMA sound support. DIPS
only runs on the Mega STE or TT. ENHANCE EXTEND.SYS V1.0 by Vincent Godefroy
- Adds the name of SpeedoGDOS fonts as a commented line above their file
name in the EXTEND.SYS file so that you can easily identify which file name
relates to which font. Invaluable! HANDY_PL v1.4 by Richard Karsmakers - An
ACC which has three functions. It allows you to call up an alternative file
selector (if installed) from within any GEM program, informs you of the time
and date, and lets you set up a password to prevent unauthorised use of your
machine. Includes GFA source. HD FORMAT V2.01 by Thomas Muthmann - Allows
you to format just about any type of disk. Supports 3.5" and 5.25" standard
and extended formats in double density or high density. It even handles 40
track devices and allows you to specify the steprate for either drive. MS-
DOS compatible bootsectors are also supported. Includes assembler source.
HEADSTART V1.1 by Codehead Software - Allows you to Auto boot up to 128
programs (including GEM ones). Similar in concept to Startgem but much more
flexible. As well as supporting the Auto booting of GEM programs on pre-TOS
1.4 systems, Headstart lets you overcome the limitation of only being able
to Auto boot a single GEM program on TOS 1.4 and above. ICO2RSC v1.10 by
Dirk Haun - Converts an entire directory of 16 colour 32x32 Windows ICO
format icons into RSC files for use with TOS 2 upwards. It handles the
conversion automatically and places a maximum of 64 icons in each RSC file.
In addition, it generates a monochrome equivalent of each icon, making them
suitable for use on pre TOS 4.xx systems. Naturally you require TOS 2 or
later in order that the generated RSC files be of any use to you. All in
German but program is obvious and we've done a RUF translation of the docs.
KEYCODES V1.0 by Mark Baines - A CPX which lets you type in any key
combination and displays its key scan code, shift state, and key ASCII code.
These are displayed in decimal, hex and octal. KGB v1.0 by Merlin Hanson -
Designed to 'ferret out' unwanted files and permanently delete them. Select
a file and the first 15 lines of it will be displayed along with the file
size and date of the most recent update. This should allow you to identify
whether or not the file should be deleted. If you have a lot of unwanted
files to purge, using KGB is much faster than checking, then deleting each
one by hand! PROFLAG by Albert Moest - Allows you to inspect and change a
program's header flags as used by Multi-TOS and TOS 1.4 upwards. You can set
the fastload bit on/off, specify the use of alternative memory and set the
Multi-TOS memory protection parameters. PUMPUP V1.0 by Claus Brod - A
formatter which supports double density and high density 3.5" and 5.25"
standard (MS-DOS) and extended formats. You can also change the number of
sectors per cluster and the step rate. RTFACC V1.0 by Vincent Godefroy -
Designed primarily for use with Atari Works, although it will also be of use
with other packages which support the RTF format but not characters above
ASCII 127 (HEX 7F). Simply specify an accented character by its hex code eg;
82 in an RTF file. Now run this program suitably renamed eg; RTFACC82.PRG
and it will replace all occurrences of character 82 with é. RUDE DOG VIEWER
V1.0 by Sean Price - Yet another fast text viewer which can be installed as
a replacement for GEM's in-built one. In addition to viewing files, it can
also display Degas, NEO and Prism Paint images and ANSI text files, complete
with support for text attributes. Rude Dog runs in medium or high res but
will swap to low automatically if viewing a low res image file. SIO DRIVER
V1.0 by John McCormack - Allows you to connect a 5.25" disk drive from an 8-
bit Atari computer to your ST. You can use all your old 8-bit disk for
blanks to give you extra storage capacity for your ST. What you cannot do is
use the data on your old 8-bit disks (you need LAN.11 to do that!). Requires
a special cable available from the author or you can use the one detailed in
the Xformer II (LAN.11) docs. SQ_PATCH by Trevor Blight - Patches the GDOS
NEC P6 driver (not included) to create an Epson Stylus 360 dpi driver. TAKE
THIS v1.3 - A GTP program which helps automate repetitive command line entry
into TTP programs. Simply type the program name and appropriate parameters
into TakeThis and save the INF file. Now install the TakeThis with document
type set to TTP and each time you double-click the appropriate TTP, TakeThis
will load and pass the parameter to the TTP. Unfortunately both program and
docs are in German although we've done a RUF translation of the docs.
TINTACK V3.2 by Analysts United - A clone (presumably improved) of Pinhead
which essentially performs the same function i.e. makes Auto folder programs
and ACCs load much faster. There is also an updater program on disk which
updates Pinhead 1.0 to Tintack 3.2. TTF-SPD 1.0 by Vincent Godefroy - A sort
of boot manager for fonts. It scans your font directory and shows a listing
of which True Type and SpeedoGDOS, allowing you to enable or disabled them
with nothing more than a mouse click. If using NVDI 3, you can just rescan
the fonts to have the changes take effect. With SpeedoGDOS you have to
reboot.
UTL.5433 NAME NET 4.2 by Roger Derry - A welcome upgrade to this popular
Shareware electronic address book. Unlike most database type programs,
NameNet is not merely a computerised card index system. It works by way of
links. Initially, a link is useful in reminding you that a specific entry is
linked to another. However, as the database expands, each entry may be
linked to several groups, so that you can locate someone by name, by
occupation, by membership of a specific club etc. The good thing is that, if
the individual moves house, his entry in all sections is updated. Similarly,
if the club moves, all references to its address on members' entries are
updated. All entries are categorised by type, Person, Business, Service etc;
and different icons represent different types. Another useful feature is its
sorting ability. If two or more entries with the same surname are found,
they are then sub-ordered by first name, something most other databases
ignore. NameNet is GEM based and designed with ease of use in mind.
Everything can be done with just a few clicks of the mouse and sub-groups
can sent to the printer just as easily. There's even an on-line Help system.
Data can be imported and exported in ASCII format and both mailing labels
and filofax compatible printout can be output from NameNet in addition to
simple printout of data. A very well thought out and professionally
presented program. An ACC version allows you to view data from within other
programs. Needs 1 Mb.
UTL.5437 HP LASERJET II SOFTFONT DOWNLOADER V1.1 by Richard Morris -
Allows you to download soft fonts to any HP Laserjet II or compatible. Five
fonts are supplied for you to try out. In automatic mode, it works from a
script file, in manual mode you can get a printout of each font and install
any font as default. CALCUL by Ondrej Spanel - A calculator which runs as a
PRG or ACC. It supports all common arithmetic and trigonometrical
expressions and (when running as an ACC) allows the results to be sent
directly into your spreadsheet, word processor or any other GEM based
application which supports keyboard input. BOOTMENU V2.15 by Fred Nicklisch
- Yet another boot manager. This one lets you keep all your
DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF files and CPXs in folders, create customised setups
which can be easily selected, and you can even configure the program layout
to a certain extent. You can set the time/date, specify the extension for
disabled files and select the sort mode. You can even copy any file to any
other location, making it ideal for setting up those custom designed
ASSIGN.SYS files for your various GDOS applications. One of the better boot
managers. BOOTSAVE V1.01 by Matt Smith - Allows you to store the executable
bootsectors of games or demos in a library file. Then, if disaster strikes
and the original bootsector gets damaged, you can use this program to
restore it from the library file. Please note that the program is supplied
without any bootsectors, you need to build up your own library. TO DO V1.01
by Reiner Rosin - Described as an alternative to cluttering up your desk
with bits of paper! I allows you to assign lists of things to do. Each list
can have as many items as you want and the individual items can be given a
priority value from 1 to 3 and can be marked with a tick (or removed) when
done. Lists can be output to screen, printer or clipboard or edited at any
time. Probably the best invention since Post-It notes! Runs as a PRG or ACC.
UTL.5438 CLICK RUN v1.2 by David Reitter - The best program launcher ever!
You set it up so that each page contains similar type programs. The programs
themselves are represented by icons, similar to those used on the Desktop.
It is then a case of selecting the appropriate group, then the correct icon
from that group. Probably the most elegant way of accessing every file on
your hard drive with a couple of mouse clicks, overcoming the maximum number
of icons which can ordinarily be placed on the Desktop (on TOS 2.xx). Runs
as a PRG or ACC (if you have a replacement Desktop which supports the AV
Protocol). Some restrictions on this unregistered version. PARAFIN V1.37 - A
file locator which runs in the background as a PRG under Multi-TOS or an ACC
under single TOS. Put simply, it lets you perform the search whilst
continuing work within another GEM based program. You can iconify its window
or even top another without affecting the search. Various search options can
be specified. It can search recursive directories, include hidden files in
the search, look for only files which match certain specified attributes and
much more. When run as a PRG, you can even launch programs directly from its
window! DATE_DAY v1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX which takes any valid date as
its input and returns the day, the day number and the week number (in the
year) for the specified date. Please note that this does not take account of
the change from the Julian to Gregorian calendars. FONTSEL V1.09 by Holger
Weets & Christoph Zwerschke - An attempt at a universal (Speedo)GDOS font
selector. Many programs call up the GEM file selector (or your chosen
alternative) when you wish to choose a font. With Fontsel installed, it is
called up instead offering a simple choice of font names, point sizes and
text attributes from a simple menu. You can also preview standard text or
indeed the entire character set of your font, displayed at the chosen size,
from within Fontsel. Other useful information is also given about the
selected font. Even if your GDOS application refuses to hook into Fontsel in
place of its own font selector, it's still worth running as an ACC due its
enhanced features. UNDELETE - Restores files and folders which have been
deleted accidentally, as long as you have not written to the disk since you
deleted them. Medium res only, only works on floppies. VDIFONT by Michael
Bernau - A useful utility which prints out the entire character set of all
(Speedo)GDOS fonts installed in your system. It also prints the font name,
ID number, type (GDOS, SpeedoGDOS etc) and whether or not it is monospaced.
It's all in German but still invaluable for the printout. Please note that
VDIFONT writes a temporary file to the path it was run from, so it should
ideally be run from a hard drive or a blank floppy. FILEEDIT by Philip
Taylor - Allows you to edit any type of file (although you can do damage if
you don't know what you're doing!). Includes search, replace, cutting and
pasting of blocks etc; and displays the full ASCII character set. Fairly
easy to use.
UTL.5465 LISTFONT v2.1 by Mathew Carey - Outputs an ASCII listing of all
fonts in a specified directory. It supports TrueType, Calamus, Calligrapher,
PostScript Types 1 & 3, GDOS, SpeedoGDOS (BitStream), GhostScript,
PageStream and Compugraphic font formats. It outputs full pathname, file
type, file name and full font name (especially useful with SpeedoGDOS fonts
where the filename bears no relationship to the font name. The output file
is formatted in such a way as to be easily imported into most database
programs. NO TASTE V1.3 - Writes a customised bootsector to your startup
floppy. Running on TOS 2.xx it simulates a keypress in order to abort the
automatic memory test. On earlier TOS versions you can adjust the floppy
disk steprate for A or B so as to allow HD disks to be accessed correctly
without installing a separate patch (TOS 2.xx has this feature built-in). On
all TOS versions, you can specify the time delay before your hard drive is
accessed (in order to let it get up to speed). PROGINFO v1.7 by Chris Ridd -
A CPX which allows you to tamper with program header flags. You can set up
Multi-TOS parameters and alternative memory settings as well as switched the
fastload bit on/off. Very highly recommended. SUBSAVE 0.3b by Eniac of DRB -
A cheat program which allows you to alter the data (game level, health and
armoury) in saved Substation games. Now in English. BAVARIAN EVENT MANAGER
V1.06 by Michael Pieper - A sort of Calendar/reminder type program which
offers a few extras. These include the ability to launch certain programs at
specified times, carry out pre-defined tasks and such like. It can watch for
data on the AUX, MODEM1, MODEM2, MODEM3, MODEM4 and MIDI ports and take
appropriate action as specified in your setup. The program is really
designed for use under Multi-TOS or MagiC but can also run as an ACC under
single TOS. Looks very useful but both program and docs are in German
(although we've done a RUF translation of the docs). Would anyone like to
undertake a full translation? ANTIDOTE V3.7 by Kai Holst - A comprehensive
virus killer program, in fact one of the best. It recognises 211 harmless
bootsectors, 155 resident programs, 64 cookie identifiers, 6 anti-viruses,
21 file packers/archivers, 64 bootsector viruses and 5 link viruses. In
addition, it performs a full system analysis and leeks you peek inside the
cookie jar. It's not quite UVK, but it's damned close to it!
UTL.5466 & UTL.5467 UDO V6 - An application designed to automate the
conversion from UDO (Universal DOcument) format to ASCII, ManualPage, ST
Guide, LaTeX, Pure-C Help, RTF, HTML and WinHelp on-line documentation
formats. The idea is that you learn just one syntax, that of UDO. You then
run your source file through this utility to convert it into as many of the
supported formats as you require, thus eliminating the need to learn the
command syntax for the other on-line help systems. It does work and it works
well at that. It's just a shame that you can only convert from UDO, rather
than between any two of the supported formats.
UTL.5485 GENEVA 004 UPGRADE PATCH - Patches v003 of Gribnif's Geneva multi-
tasking operating system to v004. The new version is a major upgrade over
its predecessor with lots of new features and several bug fixes. All Geneva
users are advised to upgrade. Please note that you will require original
Geneva v003 master disks in order to perform the upgrade. If you don't
already have Geneva, this disk is of no use to you.
UTL.5487 MUSIC BOX 4.4 by Kari Heimonen - A specialised database for your
record collection. It has all the usual database features but is
specifically customised for use with records, CDs and tapes. Printing is
supported to Epson compatibles. Shareware with some restrictions (eg; 100
records only in unregistered version). NEW STUFFER V1.1 - A modified version
of Double-Click Software's program DC Stuffer which now runs on any ST TOS
version (but not the Falcon). It allows you to load up to 32 ACCs (subject
to available memory) from within a designated folder. ADDRESS V2.20 by
Carsten Setje-Eilers - A superb Shareware name and address database package.
As soon as you load this one, the presentation hits you right between the
eyes! It is very professionally designed and everything can be accessed via
icons, drop down menus or keyboard shortcuts. It allows you to perform
recursive searches eg; if more than one match is found on the first
criteria, it searches on the second, then the third (if appropriate). This
can save a lot of time, especially when looking through the Smiths! Lots of
search criteria are supported, including the ability to search backwards or
forwards, find strings within words (or whole words only) and sort birthdays
by date and/or age. Printout is supported via 1st Word printer drivers, so
you are almost certain to find a driver for your printer. Data can be
exported to the GEM clipboard and you can even dial someone's telephone
number direct from their record card, if a modem is attached. Data can be
imported or exported in ASCII format or directly to/from any application
with supports the Xacc protocol. This version limits the number of entries,
register for the full version to remove the limitation. All in all one of
the best electronic address books around. MENUINFO V2.42 by Dirk Hagedorn -
Displays a caps lock indicator, shows if files have been accessed on your
hard drive, auto tops the window beneath the mouse, activates a screen
blanker after a specified period of inactivity, forces screen redraws, has a
built-in alarm clock facility, opens a table of the ASCII character set and
so forth. In addition, MenuInfo can be customised to display the messages
you want it to show eg; date/time, mouse coordinates, largest block of free
memory etc. You can even specify how you want the time/date displayed and
add various other trivia such as TOS version, AES version, Cookie Jar size,
MagiC version, scancode of last key pressed etc; in the menu bar too! Runs
as a PRG under Multi-TOS or as an ACC under normal TOS. Info is normally
displayed at the top right of the GEM Desktop in the menu bar but can
optionally be output to a GEM window.
UTL.5499 HEWLETT PACKARD LASERJET/DESKJET SUPPORT DISK 4 - Yet another of
those useful collections of printer drivers and support programs for the HP
range of printers. REMOTE CONTROL by Donald Bork - CPX modules for
controlling the HP Laserjet 4, 4P and 4L. They allow you to change the print
quality, memory settings, page setup and font type and size, all things
which cannot be done from the dip switches. The CPX's are in German but the
doc is in English. Register for the English CPX's. Needs to be used with
Xcontrol on UTL.3879. HP CHROME V1.5 by Rufus Developments - Prints colour
pictures on any HP Deskjet (even mono ones, assuming you have a colour kit
fitted of course!). You can adjust the colour rendering to suit and print
out using one of three quality settings. Pictures can even be cropped or
viewed in any ST resolution. This latest upgrade supports the printing of
Degas, NEO, TNY, GIF, TIFF, IMG, RAW and Spectrum 512 pictures. HP_EDIT
v1.10 by Stig Norin - Edits downloadable fonts for the HP Deskjet (12 point
only). Primarily intended for use with 1st Word/Wordplus. DJ LOAD by Stig
Norin - A soft font downloader for Deskjets. It is intended for use with
fonts created using HP Edit (also on disk. It comes complete with complete
Hebrew, Arab and Greek fonts as well as sample printer drivers (which have
been adapted to use soft fonts) for 1st Word/Wordplus and Redacteur. These
fonts can only be used if you have a RAM cartridge fitted to your Deskjet.
PAC PAGE v1.0 by Bill Aycock - Switches a Pacific Page P*E cartridge fitted
to an HP Laserjet, to Postscript or HP PCL mode and includes the option of
sending a Postscript control ¯D end of file command to the printer. Runs as
a PRG or ACC on any ST or TT in any resolution. HP LASERJET II SOFTFONT
DOWNLOADER V1.1 by Richard Morris - Allows you to download soft fonts to any
HP Laserjet II or compatible. Five fonts are supplied for you to try out. In
automatic mode, it works from a script file, in manual mode you can get a
printout of each font and install any font as default. PRINTorSAVE -
Depending on a key combination, it will either snapshot a screen to disk or
print a normal ALT/Help screendump. Includes a special version for screen
dumping to the HP DeskJet. NOT STE. TWEAKS by Martyn Dryden - An accessory
which sends control sequences to set printer modes eg; NLQ, font etc.
Fully configurable. Sample setups for HP Deskjet & Canon BJ10E included
as is C source.
UTL.5500 PAGESTREAM SUPPORT DISK 3 - Just when you thought that SoftLogik
had dropped Pagestream on the ST, you realised that we had not! This is yet
another of those useful disks full of bits and pieces to enhance the use of
your favourite DTP package. ARKUS V1.00 - A font manager program which
displays the names of installed Postscript Type 1 fonts. It also displays
copyright information and other useful data about the fonts. FONTKILL by
David Troy - When Pagestream exports a document in Postscript format, it
embeds copies of all the Postscript type 1 fonts into the file. At the
bureau, they usually have to spend time removing these before they start
work. What this program does is to let you remove Type 1 fonts from the
document, resulting in smaller files and smaller time charges from the
bureau. Needs 2 Meg. FONTSWAP 2 by David Becker - Allows you to subsitute
the fonts used in a Postscript document with any others of your choice. This
is particularly useful if someone gives you a document which uses fonts that
you don't have. Some files will be ready to print, others will need to be
tidied up in your DTP package. Regardless, this program will allow you to
make use of the documents. Mono Only. LISTFONT v2.1 by Mathew Carey -
Outputs an ASCII listing of all fonts in a specified directory. It supports
PostScript Types 1 & 3, PageStream and various other formats. It outputs
full pathname, file type, file name and full font name. The output file is
formatted in such a way as to be easily imported into most database
programs. PAGESTREAM TEMPLATES by EYM Cheng - These templates allow you to
reproduce industry standard crop marks for typesetting and/or colour work
using Pagestream 2.2. This gets round the bug in the program and/or
Postscript printer driver. PGS_CFG v1.0 - Allows you to reconfigure your
Pagestream import/export driver setup easily, using simple mouse clicks.
CFNTODMF by Eine Computing - Converts Calamus .CFN fonts to PageStream .DMF
fonts. PAGESTREAM OUTLINE FONT EDITOR - Fully functional font
designer/editor with sample fonts. Full documentation included. CANON BJC800
- A printer driver for the Canon BJ800 colour printer.
UTL.5506 SPEEDOGDOS PRINTER DRIVERS - A collection of custom designed
printer drivers created to take full advantage of the capabilities of the
individual printers. This disk contains drivers for the Epson LQ series,
Epson 800, Epson 800P, Epson 820, Canon BJ-30, Canon BJ-200 and Canon BJ-
4000 models. You will need SpeedoGDOS 4 or 5 in order to make use of these
drivers. They are not compatible with pre-Speedo versions.
UTL.5507 SPEEDOGDOS PRINTER DRIVERS - A collection of custom designed
printer drivers created to take full advantage of the capabilities of the
individual printers. This disk contains drivers for the Canon LBP-8, Texas
MicroWriter, Epson Stylus Colour, HP Laserjet 4L, HP Laserjet 4P, HP Deskjet
550C and HP Deskjet 660C models. You will need SpeedoGDOS 4 or 5 in order to
make use of these drivers. They are not compatible with pre-Speedo versions.
Please note that the colour drivers will be restricted to outputting in mono
unless you are runnning SpeedoGDOS 5.
UTL.5510 BIGDOS 8 by Rainer Seitel - An ISO 9293 replacement file system
which completely replaces the GEMDOS of TOS (but not MagiC). BIGDOS, as the
name suggests, replaces GEMDOS with an MS-DOS compatible file system and
therefore allows you to connect PC formatted hard drives and removable media
devices (such as ZIP drives, Syquests etc) and read their contents directly.
Files saved from your Atari to these devices can then be read directly when
connected to a PC. BIGDOS supports up to 32 partitions and 65518 clusters.
Cluster size can be anything from 1 to 65 sectors, thus supporting a maximum
32K cluster size. Partition sizes can easily exceed the 32 Mb size limit
imposed by pre-TOS 4 machines. BIGDOS requires an XHDI 1.20 compliant hard
disk driver to be installed. A patch is included to update the latest AHDI
driver (on UTL.4638) to these specifications. If you are using HD Driver
v4.51 or later, you don't need the patch as that driver is fully XHDI
compatible. Docs in English and German. XHDI v1.25 by Julian Reischke - Full
specifications of the XHDI standard which support mass storage media and
allows you to address more than 16 partitions on your Atari. Includes C
source. Docs in English and German. DF by Julian Reschke - A program which
gives info on any hard drive, but specifically XHDI compliant ones. For
techies only! PATCH 1.2U - Takes a file containing any of the four
recognised difference listings produced by I.diff and patches a specified
original file. Suitable for use to patch your existing AHDI driver to XHDI
standard for use with BIGDOS. Includes C source. AT SELECT by Analysts
United - A very simple boot manager. It lets you select from up to 10 Auto
folder programs and 10 ACCs. DESKTILE V0.7 by Andreas Mayer - Combines a
tile and a mask (both randomly chosen) to create a boot up picture. When
used in conjunction with Deskpic on UTL.4271 (and Deskpic set to use the
appropriately named image), the bootup picture is used as a Desktop
backdrop, giving you a randomly chosen backdrop each time you boot up! Only
mono images are supplied, but it works with colour images too.
UTL.5525 & UTL.5526 LOOK 'N SEE v0.95 by Reiner Rosin - A very
comprehensive file viewer. It allows you to load, view, save and print
probably more file types than anything else available. Here's a few of its
supported formats:- Monochrome - IMG, PAC, PCB, CRG, ZFAX, QFAX, COMA,
Papyrus (PRN), Calamus (print to disk), Quicklink faxes and Junior Office
faxes. Colour graphics - GIF, TIFF, JPEG, Targa, BMP, XIMG, PCX, IFF, FLI,
Photo CD, Degas and more. It also supports the viewing of hex dumps, mono
RSC files and GEM Metafiles. Fonts in GDOS (both Intel and Motorola
variants), Signum 2 and Calamus formats can also be displayed and sound
samples in CrazySound, Sample-Wizard and Totosound formats can be played.
You can even peek around inside LZH and ZIP archives and uuencode/uudecode
files! Look 'N See is intelligent in that it can even display (or play) data
which has been saved using the wrong extender as it analyses the data rather
than just relying on the file extension. Look 'N See is modular in
construction and has been available in Germany for some time. Consequently
there are a number of third party modules available (99 of which are
included!) which allow you to load or post-process images, text and samples.
A unique feature of this application is its ability to view 'virtual' files.
In other words, it loads files which are too large to fit into the available
memory, in sections. There's also a number of conversion modules which
convert 1st Word, PostScript and ST Guide files to ASCII. Look 'N See can be
installed as an application so that double-clicking an appropriate data file
loads it directly into the package. It may also be run as a PRG or ACC
(needs 4 Mb) and is fully Multi-TOS, MagiC, MagiCMac, Freedom, Selectric,
XACC, AV_protocol, drag & drop and ICFS compatible! In addition, up to 7
external programs can be called if running as ACCs (or PRGs if multi-
tasking) from within Look 'N See. Printing is supported via GDOS. This
Shareware version reminds you that you have not registered and displays the
second and subsequent images in greyscale. Apart from that it is fully
functional. Look 'N See has around 250K of English docs on disk and includes
ST Guide (UTL.5557) help. Needs 1 Mb (2 Mb if running as an ACC.
UTL.5538 EPSON STYLUS V2.05 by B Noonan - A 720 dpi Stylus Colour printer
driver for use with PageStream. CD RECORDER V1.02 by Dirk Haun - Lets you
record audio samples from audio CDs and save them directly to your hard
drive in WAV or AVR format. The samples can be 8-bit or 16-bit stereo or
mono and can be sampled at 22 khz or 44 khz. Needs a CD-ROM drive,
appropriate driver software (MetaDOS or ExtenDOS) and a device driver which
supports audio commands (such as FALCON.BOS). Multi-TOS compatible. Program
and docs in German, but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. START ME
UP V0.01 - Allows you to start up ACCs after boot up if running Multi-TOS,
Geneva or MagiC 4. Won't run on single TOS. REMARKER '96 V0.72E by Christoph
Spengler - Allows you to add comments to ST-Guide (UTL.5557) hypertexts
easily. The remarks are essentially ASCII files which appear in stylish pop-
up windows from within the hypertext when you double-click their entry in
the text. Just what you need to jazz up those on-line docs. Runs as a PRG or
ACC and integrates well with ST-Guide (not included) when running as an ACC.
Well documented (in ST-Guide format of course!). GENFIXER 1.3 by Anthony
Jacques - Another attempt at a generic STOS fixer program. This one is more
or less based on Robert Quezada's STOSFIX 3 but without the TOS 1.2
incompatibility bug! It allows you to fix any compiled STOS Basic file to
run on up to ten operating systems of your choice. We suggest you fix for
TOS versions 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.62, 2.06 and 4.01 (a generic patch that
also works for 4.0, 4.02 and 4.04) as these ensure compatibility with about
99.9% of Atari machines ever sold! GEM FONTVIEW v1.09e by Reinhard Bartel -
Displays any installed GDOS font in a GEM window. The font may be bitmapped
or vector based (as in the case of SpeedoGDOS fonts) and can be displayed at
any size up to 72 point (1 inch high) provided that the resident version of
GDOS allows this. In the case of vector fonts, all characters (including
those above ASCII 255) are displayed with GEM FontView, unlike other font
display programs. Runs as an ACC or PRG but requires a version of GDOS,
SpeedoGDOS or NVDI (3 or 4) to be installed. FREE SPACE by Vanel Rémi -
Quickly and easily displays the free space on each of the drives connected
to your system as well as giving combined total of free space on the system.
Runs as a PRG or ACC. Multi-TOS friendly. CALAMUS TABLE GENERATOR V1.2 by
Michal Setlak - Create tables easily with this useful utility and export
them in CVG format ready for import into Calamus. Docs in English and
Polish. Program in French or Polish! Icon based, so very easy to understand.
ACE GAMER - A menu system designed for loading games from hard drive. Lots
of games 'object' to your usual boot up programs and ACCs being present when
you try to load them from hard drive, especially since games like to grab
all free memory for themselves. This small Auto folder program pops up (only
when specifically activated) with a menu of the games available on your hard
drive and a simple key press locates the appropriate game, switches to low
res and loads it up as if it had been run from an Auto folder (i.e. without
initialising GEM). DUPFILE by Analysts United - Searches your hard drive and
creates a list of files which are identical in name and size, so that you
can identify and delete duplicates, saving yourself some valuable space.
Perfectly safe as it doesn't delete anything, you do! PSYGHAM V1.5 UPGRADE
PATCH by Analysts United - There's a bug in v1.5 of this utility in that the
driver program has a different configuration file from that defined in the
configuration program. This patches the driver to remove the bug. FILE EDIT
by Analysts United - A patched version of the program on UTL.5422 which now
runs in medium res and can be executed as a TTP, APP or PRG.
UTL.5543 MAGIC ROM v5 - Allows you create a ROM based version of the
MagiC (V2, 3 or 4) multi-tasking operating system which can then be blown
into EPROMS which will replace the TOS ROMs in your machine. Please note
that this program is only of use to you if you already have the MagiC
software. Programs and docs in German, but a RUF translation of docs is
included. Designed for use in an STFM so there _might_ be problems in an
STE. This DIY project will not work on the TT or Falcon. MULTITOOL - A
collection of utilities for use with MagiC. They display amount of CPU time
being used up, allow printing in the background (with extensive user control
over settings), automatically launch a batch of programs at startup,
incorporate support for alias files and make GFA Basic compiled programs
more compatible with MagiC. Programs and docs in German but a RUF
translation of the docs is included. SHAURI v1.1 by Racème Production - An
extensive system analysis program which is similar in many ways to Mark
Baines' Profile 2. It gives info on TOS version, Memory, AES, VDI, GDOS
fonts, disk drives connected, Auto programs, ACCs, CPX's (including settings
for each individual CPX), cookies installed, the memory map,
DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF settings and NVRAM settings on the TT and Falcon.
Details of your setup are saved to an ASCII file for you to analyse. DIAMOND
EDGE V2.04 PATCH - Updates v2.0, 2.01, 2.02 or 2.03 of the hard disk
optimising/defragmenting and editing tool, Diamond Edge, to v2.04. Please
note that this is only a patch program, you need to have an original of the
relevant version of Diamond Edge, otherwise it is of no use to you.
EXTRACTOR FAN V1.0 by Movement Software - A handy program which copies only
the files which have been changed (within a specified directory) to an
alternative directory of your choice. It does this my using the archive bit
in the file headers. Invaluable for backing up data without having to either
copy everything or remember which files you've altered recently. Needs TOS
1.4 or later. OKIDUMP by Rich Whitsell - An ACC which replaces the built-in
ALT+HELP screen dump utility so as to make it compatible with OKI printers.
Works with the OKI ML92 and ML93 and lets you print in portrait or landscape
mode. SLO-MO by Joe Tam - Slows down your ST to a speed (1/10th of normal
speed is the slowest!) setting of your choice. Useful if you find arcade
games too fast to play or have a disability which would benefit from slower
responses to your actions on the computer.
UTL.5544 CBHD V5.02 by Claus Brod and Steffen Engel - A Freeware hard disk
driver, complete with easy to use formatting, partitioning and user
definable custom setup capabilities. It completely replaces AHDI, ICD
Utilities or whatever other hard disk driver you happen to be using. So why
change your hard disk driver? Well, CBHD is one of the most modern hard disk
drivers for the Atari range of computers. It removes many of the
restrictions found in other driver software and it helps ensure cross-
platform compatibility and therefore portability of data. Features include:-
supports up to 24 partitions, allows you to partition floppy disks!, fully
supports the SCSI 2 standard, fully supports ALIA (which allows up to 32
SCSI devices to be connected instead of the normal 8!) and ICD host
adaptors, boots from any chosen partition, not just C, boot from any SCSI
device, not just SCSI ID 0 and performs transfers in the background under
MagiC. CBHD is an XHDI compliant driver which essentially means that it can
read and write to PC formatted SCSI devices provided the partition size does
not exceed 32 Mb (if it does, use BIGDOS on UTL.5510). CBHD comes with an
easy to use GEM based configuration program. It is well documentated in ST-
Guide format, but entirely in German. This latest version supports both SCSI
and IDE drives.
UTL.5545 EXTENDOS PRO UPDATE TO V2.3a - Updates v2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 of
Anondyne Software's CD ROM driver software to v2.3a. The latest features
include direct to disk recording to SCSI hard drives, MetaDOS 2.3 DOS to BOS
drive mapping for programs which need this, Midi-COM support, universal SCSI
2 compatibility for unrecognised drives, new features for CD Audio and a
host of bug fixes. Please note that this patch is of no use to you unless
you already have ExtenDOS Pro v2.1, 2.2 or 2.3. Includes a ZIP (you'll need
ST Zip on UTL.3093 to decompress it) file containing details of 1000 CD-ROMs
which can be made to run on your Atari! MOST VIEWER by Brian Grier - A front
end which lets you use the PC version of Compton's New Media CD-ROMs on your
Atari. They all use Compton's M.O.S.T. technology, therefore this player
works with all M.O.S.T. compatible titles. It brings up the index of the CD-
ROM and lets you browse through the various articles. You can even use the
built-in search feature to locate the articles you require. Registered users
get an improved version of the software which includes sound support (on the
STE, TT and Falcon), displays the graphics linked to the articles and lets
you access the dictionary supplied on all M.O.S.T. titles. Obviously you'll
require a CD-ROM drive, driver software and an appropriate Compton's CD-ROM
in order to use this software. Needs 1 Mb. ALL ICONIFY ENABLER (ALICE) V0.9
by Sven Kopacz - An Auto folder program which allows any program to be
iconified (shrunk down into a small window the size of an icon). The only
catch is that it requires an operating system which supports iconification.
These are currently MagiC >=v3, MagiC Mac >=v1.2.4, Multi-TOS, Geneva and
N.AES. Please note that only the first two of these are supported in this
initial release of ALICE. Connect, Thing, Freedom and several other modern
applications already support iconification under the appropriate operating
systems. ALICE brings this same functionality to older programs too. AUSPACK
V1.16 by Fred Nicklisch - A nice easy to use archiver shell. It allows you
to specify up to 20 different archived files (more than actually exist!) and
locate the relevant archiver program (not included) to do the job. It is
then a case of selecting the source and destination directories and the
contents of all archives in the source directory will be extracted to the
destination directory. Ideal for mass extraction of files after a lengthy
download. Program and docs in both English and German. Multi-TOS compatible.
UTL.5557 ST GUIDE v1.5E - Probably the best Hypertext clone on the ST. Like
all the others, it reads in a text file and highlights keywords. These can
be clicked to take you to linked areas of the document. You can page back
and forth and cross reference from one topic to another. ST Guide scores
over the competition in many ways. It can be run as a program or ACC and
handles graphics are well as text. It comes with a limited amount of C
source code and a utility to convert any ASCII file into the required format
so that you can create your own Hypertext documents. It is Freeware, it's
extensively documented and it's a complete implementation. Now in English.
HARD DISK OPTIMIZER V2.6 by H P Vetter - One of the smartest looking hard
disk optimisers and defragmenters around. What's more, it appears to work
well too! It check for data errors (FAT mismatches, directory problems, lost
clusters etc), physical errors (faulty sectors) and fixes these. It can also
defragment your drive too. Multi-TOS compatible and very simple to use. It
doesn't look as pretty as Diamond Edge but it does its job well. Program in
English but docs in German, although we've done a rough translation.
UTL.5559, UTL.5560, UTL.5561 & UTL.5562 GHOSTSCRIPT V3.53 by Aladdin
Enterprises - A Freeware PostScript language interpreter along similar
lines to UltraScript and CompoScript. It conforms with level 2 of the
PostScript language and allows you to view or print (to non-PostScript
printers) PostScript pages such as those created using PageStream 2 and
various DTP applications on both the PC and Mac. You can also view or print
graphics saved in PostScript format. This latest version of the software
also supports Adobe's PDF (Portable Document Format), a DTP file format
which can be used in different DTP packages. GhostScript currently allows
you to print your files to Atari SLM, HP Deskjet (incl colour models), Canon
BJ series, Epson 9-pin, Epson 24-pin (incl colour models), Epson ESC P2,
Epson Stylus and NEC P6 series printers. This makes it ideal for previewing
your work prior to taking it to your PostScript bureau. Alternatively the
page (or graphic) can be saved in IMG, PBM or PPM graphic file formats.
Needs 4 Mb of memory and a hard drive.
UTL.5587 & UTL.5588 NO!DESK V3.04 by no!Software - An innovative
Shareware replacement Desktop from one of Germany's leading Atari
developers. No!Desk goes further than most products of this type (eg; icons
on the Desktop, jazzed up interface, file aliases etc) with everything being
fully customisable to your own preference. It can even be used in
conjunction with MagiC, Multi-TOS or Geneva to provide a fully multi-tasking
compatible interface for those systems. No!Desk can be operate (if required)
as a multi-user system and includes built-in multi-user management and
password protection for use with such systems. It makes use of a modern 3D
interface and shared libraries to reduce memory overhead when running
programs which are no!System (included with the package) aware. Unlike other
replacement Desktops, No!Desk is object orientated and you yourself can
define the rules as to what action is performed when any two objects
interact. Better still, why not have a pop-up menu to give you a choice of
different actions? There's even a CLI window so that you can use No!Desk's
built-in programming language directly from within the system. Also of note
is the fact that No!Desk has its own archiver drivers (view or extract
contents of LZH and ZOO archives by double-clicking them), graphic drivers
(view IMG, IFF, CRG, PBM, PI1, TPI and other formats by double-clicking
them) and scripting language (so that you can automate routine tasks). A
very highly polished Shareware product. Now in English. Needs 1 Mb and a
hard drive.
UTL.5592 & UTL.5593 TOS PATCHES - Don Maple has put together a
collection of all known patch programs designed to cure various bugs in all
TOS versions from v1.0 (the first ROM TOS) up to v3.06 (on the TT). There's
also a text file describing the changes made to each TOS version over and
above its predecessor. We have dropped most Falcon specific patches to
avoid the need for a third disk! Some programs are English, others are
German. In the latter cases, we've done RUF translations of the docs.
BUTTONFIX 1.4 - Fixes the double-scroll bug present in some TOS versions.
CACHExxx - Caches data on your hard drive to increase performance on TOS 1.4
upwards. The xxx signifies the size of the cache buffers. DC BITSET 1.0 -
Allows TOS 1.0 and 1.2 to set the 'archive bit' correctly in file headers.
This bug was fixed in TOS 1.4. DC LIGHT OFF 1.0 - Deselects Drive A if you
boot from hard disk with no floppy in Drive A. Prevents floppy drive motor
and LED staying on for infinity. DRIVE OFF - Performs the same task as DC
Light Off. FLOPFIX - Fixes various bugs in the BIOS which result in read
errors, write protect errors and disk change errors on TOS 2.06 upwards.
FORCE MEDIA CHANGE - Many replacement floppy drives do not detect a disk
change properly. This can result in the FATs and root directory of the last
inserted disk overwriting the new disk's contents. The program forces TOS to
re-read the FATs and root directory every time a disk is accessed. FOLDRxxx
- Fixes the 40 folder bug. This bug exists in all TOS versions but manifests
itself differently on the newer TOSes. The xxx signifies the number of extra
folders. HD_FDC - Sets the floppy disk seek rate to 3ms (rather than 6 ms)
on TOS 2.06 upwards. NBCBS - An adaptation of CACHExxx which allows you to
set the FAT/root directory and directory/data buffers separate from each
other. PATCHX06 - Fixes various BIOS disk routines (media change, disks with
one FAT, read errors if 2 drives fitted) in TOS 2.06 and 3.06. RESET -
Forces a warm reset if no floppy is found in Drive A. This fixes a problem
on some computers where the floppy drive is not recognised at boot up.
DESK_ENV V3.00 - Lets you set up AES environmental variables on TOS 1.0, 1.2
and 1.4. ENV 1.3 - A CPX which lists all currently installed environmental
variables and lets you add new ones to the list. ENVIRMNT 2 - Ensures that
any environmental variables cannot be changed by other applications after
boot up. DRUCKESZ - A patch for German users which filters out characters
after 'ss' when printing. NVDI FIXES - Two program which fix bugs which can
cause crashes with NVDI v2.5. 24 BIT - Allows many programs which are not
'32 bit clean' to run on the TT and Falcon. CHK_OFLS 1.03 - Ensures that
errors do not occur when copying data to mass storage devices when using
high speed copying programs such as Kobold, by checking that the file system
being copied to, has actually been opened. COOKIE - Installs a Cookie Jar on
pre-TOS 1.6 systems. FIX GDOS - Some programs won't run if GDOS, AMCGDOS or
NVDI are installed (they report 'invalid handle'). This program fixes the
problem. INSJAR - Creates a Cookie Jar of a specified size on pre-TOS 1.6
systems, enlarges the existing Cookie Jar to the specified size on TOS
versions 1.6 upwards. MAKEFAST - Allows you to switch the Fastload bit
(reduces loading time on large memory machines) ON or OFF for programs
running on TOS 1.4 or later. MULTI-DIALOG V1.03 - Puts almost all dialogs
into GEM windows. This allows you to choose to ignore a dialog and access
the menu bar or move a dialog which is obscuring your work. Most useful on
multi-tasking systems. NO ROACH - Lets you specify how long your computer
should wait before booting from hard drive. Specifically designed for the
Mega ST/E and TT as they have internal hard drives. NVRAM 1.1 - An Auto
folder program which resets the TT or Falcon's non-volatile RAM to the
factory presets and a CPX which lets you customise the settings to your own
preference. PINHEAD 1.8 - Speeds up the loading of programs on TOS versions
1.0 to 1.6. More or less performs the same functions as setting the Fastload
bit on TOS 1.4 but is said to be more compatible with certain rogue
applications. POOLFIX92 - A bug fixed version of various patch programs by
Atari which are designed to fix memory compaction routines in the OS pool
under TOS 1.4 and 1.6. OVFIX - Gets rid of the bug where the ESC character
is sent continuously, causing the current directory to keep re-reading and a
continuous tone to emanate from the keyboard. SHELL_FIX 1.3 - Allows
programs which use TOS's shell functions to run from alternative Desktops
(they normally only run from the GEM Desktop). STESOUND - Patches TOS 4.01 &
4.02 to initialise its STE compatible DMA sound, otherwise you get silence
from programs which use DMA sound! STE_FIX - Patches the DESKTOP.INF of TOS
1.6 to overcome that version's inability to boot up in medium resolution.
TOS14FX5 - A bug fixed version of Atari's patch which fixed the inability to
use RTS/CTS handshaking and an odd problem whereby a program cannot locate
its own RSC. These bugs only exist in TOS 1.4. TT GAMES - Several patches
which make the TT more compatible with the ST so that many older programs
may be run. They switch off the cache, switch to 24 bit addressing and allow
some programs which execute from the bootsector to run. VDI_FIX 1.11 - Fixes
the bug which results in the same VDI handles being given to two or more VDI
workstations. Affects all TOS versions up to 3.05 (except for v1.2). GEMRAM
1.6/1.7 - Copies GEM to RAM so that it can be patched by other programs (eg
SHBUF, ARROWFIX, WINX). SHBUF 1.3 - Patches GEM to increase the shell
buffers of NEWDESK.INF. This lets you have more icons on the Desktop, more
installed applications and prevents icons going 'missing' if your
NEWDESK.INF exceeds 4K in size. Only needed in TOS 2.05 upwards. ARROWFIX
1.5 - Fixes the double scroll problem with the slider bars on GEM windows on
certain TOS versions. WINX 2.2 - Patches the window handling of GEM to allow
more windows to be open. It also adds a number of features to window
handling, especially with regard to manipulating background windows without
actually selecting them. FSERIAL 1.0 - A CPX which lets you configure your
serial port. It is essentially a replacement for the MODEM.CPX but goes one
better by supporting all legal serial ports (up to 4 on the TT). It works in
conjunction with an Auto folder patch which allows speeds higher than 19200
to be selected (if your computer supports this). MSTE_GAL - Docs on how to
program a GAL device which overcomes a bug in the Mega STE's serial port.
You will of course need the appropriate hardware and software in order to
blow the GAL. XSSD - A document detailing how to implement a protocol which
adds extended functions to the serial I/O. HS MODEM 6 - Although a little
fiddly to set up, this patch appears to fix all serial port related bugs on
all TOS versions. It even supports DTE rates of up to 115200, hardware
permitting and recognises the RSVE hardware upgrade used to increase the
ST's maximum port speed from 19200 to 38400. Absolutely essential if using a
high speed modem, desirable even if using a slower model. HS_FIX - Replaces
the faulty CTS/RTS handshaking in TOS 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.62, allowing you to
use the built-in MNP compression used by high speed modems. RS232 ENHANCER
1.02 - Similar to HS_FIX, it cures bugs in the CTS/RTS handshaking in TOS
versions up to 3.06. It lets you use GVC, Supra and Zyxel modems (which were
previously incompatible) with your ST. RSRCADD - Lets you increase the size
of TOS's serial send/receive buffer from 256 bytes to a maximum to 32
kilobytes in order to speed up throughput with fast modems. RS 1.03A - A
modified version of RS232 Enhancer which increases the size of the
send/receive buffers to 32K. SERIAL FIX 2 - Fixes the CTS/RTS problem and
completely incorporates SERPATCH and TOS14FIX, eliminating the need to use
those patches. Works on TOS versions up to 3.06. SERPATCH 2 - Fixes problems
when using a word size of less than 8, handles parity errors correctly and
fixes the CTS/RTS bug in TOS versions up to 1.62.
UTL.5604 STALKER PATCHES - A number of upgrade patches for Gribnif
Software's communications package of the same name. These upgrade v3.0, 3.1,
3.2, 3.3 or v3.4 of Stalker to v3.5. They require an original of the
appropriate version of Stalker, otherwise they are of no use to you.
UTL.5605 STENO PATCHES - A number of upgrade patches for Gribnif Software's
desk accessory text editor of the same name. These upgrade v2.0 of Steno to
v2.10 and v2.10 or v2.11 to v2.12. They require an original of the
appropriate version of Steno, otherwise they are of no use to you. NEODESK
003 PATCH - This patches release 002 of NeoDesk 4 (i.e. v4.01) to version
003 (v4.02). It requires that you have an original of NeoDesk 4 release 002,
otherwise it is of no use to you.
UTL.5607 IMG MIXER v1.10 by Matthias Wallmann - A companion program for the
Gemini and Ease replacement Desktops. It allows you to use a randomly
selected IMG as a Desktop backdrop for these systems. With IMG Mixer in the
Auto folder and the correct paths set, an image appropriate to the current
resolution is selected randomly and displayed behind your Desktop icons.
Lots of images are supplied on disk but regrettably they are all for use on
monochrome systems. Any colour IMGs can be used in their place. Please
note that you MUST have either Ease or Gemini installed in your system,
otherwise IMG Mixer will do nothing. Docs in German but we've done a RUF
translation.
UTL.5608 RTFTOHTML by Barry Munro - Allows you to convert Rich Text Format
(RTF) format text files into their HTML equivalents. HTML is a hypertext
based language similar in concept to ST-Guide and is the language used for
all documents on the World Wide Web. If your word processor supports RTF
format (Marcel and Papyrus do), this package performs a painless conversion
for you, thus eliminating the need to learn HTML. Full user guide on disk in
both RTF and HTML formats.
UTL.5612 POWERPACKER 2.0 DATADEPACKER by BITmASTER of TCE - Depacks data
files (not executables) packed using the Amiga file compressor of the same
name. Useful for unpacking pictures or text ported from the Amiga. SPIEU'S
ANALYSER OF MEDIA (SAM) V1.10 - Checks hard drives or floppies for bad
sectors and maps them out so as to prevent future problems. Its main claim
to fame is that sectors marked as being bad will not mysteriously recover,
they remain mapped out permanently. Use it to simply analyse your media or
to permanently map out the bad sectors. PURGER by Damien Jones - Soft
formats a floppy disk. In other words it zaps the entire contents of the
disk in under 5 seconds. Much faster than either reformatting or deleting
individual files. PYROSAVE 3 by M Abreu - Lets you specify the idle time on
SAVER.PRG (a screen blanker) and save your changes into the program for
future use. SCANNER by Lars-Erik 0sterud - Allows you to scan directly into
your ST using a hand scanner. The benefit of this software over that
supplied with your scanner is that it can be triggered from within many art
packages (using a simple key combination) and scan directly into screen RAM.
Also includes an ACC which scans directly into memory then saves file to
disk. Includes assembler source. SIM CITY CASH INJECTOR V1.0D by Phil Hough
- Modifies a saved game file from Sim City so as to give you extra cash, up
to a maximum of $2.47M if desired. No longer do you have to watch your
spending habits! SCHNIPP & SCHNAPP V1.08 by Fred Nicklisch - Lets you chop
up any file into several pieces and then recombine it at a later date. Its
purpose is to allow you to transfer files (between machines) which are too
large to fit onto a floppy disk. Both Atari and PC versions of the program
are supplied. ST WEFAX V2.0 by David Anderson - Software which lets you use
a Kantronics WEFAX with an Atari. This is a radio based (similar to HAM
radio) hardware device which allows you to tune in to fax stations around
the world and receive meteorological maps and weather satellite photos which
can then be viewed on screen or printed out. Very comprehensive Shareware
package. Includes a listing of UK fax stations which you can tune in to.
UTL.5614 MIKENET by Mike De Petris - Allows any two Atari computers to be
connected in a network using standard MIDI cables. Any drives can be mapped
to the letter of your choice and both CPUs can access files on each other's
hard drives. The drive redirection can be used even if no other computer is
connected and is useful for those programs which insist on working with a
specified drive (usually A:\) and have this embedded in their program code.
Either computer can be assigned read only/read write or inactive status on
the network and any drive may be redirected to either local or remote
partitions. Eveything works invisibly to all software. Multi-tasking
friendly. EPRO_210 - Updates v2.0, 2.0A or 2.0B of Anondyne Software's
ExtenDOS Pro CD-ROM driver software to v2.10. You need an original of the
appropriate version of ExtenDOS Pro, otherwise this patch is of no use to
you. Your software can then be upgraded to v2.3A using the patch on F.5546.
IMPLODER by Hackbear - A port of the Amiga file packer of the same name. It
can pack both executables and data files and dragging a packed file
(Imploder packed of course!) to it results in an unpacked version of that
file being resaved. IMPLOID V2.04 - An archiver shell for use with the
Gemini replacement Desktop or any other (such as Thing) which uses the AV
protocol. It supports the use of ZIP, ZOO, ARC, ARJ, LHZ and
UUencode/UUdecode archivers, although these are not included on disk.
Imploid runs as an ACC and you simply open its window and drop the
appropriate archive into it. Double-click inside the window for full range
of options. Unfortunately the program's in German (but simple to work
out) and there's no docs. Invaluable if you are using Gemini or Thing.
AUTO_C V6.00 - Loads all Auto folder programs from Drive A and ACCs from
drive C. CALLERID by Paul Lyon - Keeps track of incoming calls by displaying
the number (as the phone rings) and the name of the caller (if the caller is
known and in your database. Your call log can be saved to disk or printed
out. You can even automatically block calls from certain numbers! In order
to use this program you will require a modem with Caller ID support and a
telephone service provider who supports Caller ID (BT does, at a cost). This
software essentially replaces the standalone Caller ID hardware units. This
Shareware version has limitations, register for the full version. FIRECALL
V0.70 by Christian Andersson - Another program with the same function as
Paul Lyon's CallerID (above). This one is better presented but currently
unfinished. Both are very similar in functionality. System requirements same
as above.
UTL.5615 IMAGINARY WORLD PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE (IWPL) by Shaun Hargreaves -
An adventure game writing package. Features a nicely presented interface, an
example adventure and an integrated text editor. Just what you need to write
your best selling adventure. MEGASTICK by Fabrice Vendé - 1st Guide files
showing how make an adaptor which will allow four ordinary joysticks to be
used in the extended joystick ports on the STE and Falcon. There's also GFA,
C and Assembler code designed to allow you to use the four joysticks (via
this adaptor) in your own four player games. Docs in both English and
French, includes well drawn diagrams. MEMORY - A hardware project which
allows you to have 3 Mb in an STE! This is achieved by using a 1 Mb SIMM and
a 2 Mb SIMM along with several low cost components. Includes diagrams in
both PI3 and PostScript (use GhostScript on UTL.5559, UTL.5560, UTL.5561
& UTL.5562 to view or print this file) formats. MTOSNAME - A GFA Basic
listing which lets you add your program's name as you want it to be
displayed in the list of active applications running under Multi-TOS. MAGIC
SPOOLER by Emanuel Möcklin - A printer spooler which takes the form of an
Auto folder program and a CPX. The size is entirely user configurable
(right up to the maximum memory in your computer) and Magic Spooler can
spool output to disk rather than printer, if required. Files spooled to
disk can be output via Magic Spooler at a later date. Very well designed and
easy to use too.
UTL.5616 FILE FLAG MANAGER V1.03 by Kai Holst - A nice easy to use program
which allows you to change a program's header flags. These control the
Fastload bit, whether the program can use alternative memory and whether it
can run in alternative memory. What makes this program different is that you
decide whether a flag is to switched on or off for either of the two
supported 'sets'. You then determine which file extensions belong to each
set. Click onto a drive (or partition) and all files matching your chosen
extensions will have their header flags changed to your specifications. It's
as easy as that. SOFT TOOL V2.06N by Wiagylvam & Jam - A disk cataloguing
program. You can specify up to 12 categories of disks and have as many
entries in each category as you wish. Each entry has to be entered manually
but descriptions can be up to 80 characters in length. An ideal tool for
helping you remember which program is on which disk! TODAYS V2.01 by Chuck
Grimsby - An unusual program which is used to display reminders of events or
occurences which took place at any point in history. It can also be used as
a planner to schedule forthcoming events and remind you of these ahead of
time. Although based on programs of the same name on other computers, the
Atari version of Todays offers much more features than those, although it
will happily accept and use their data files. Z88LINK V1.3 by Ian Johnston -
Allows you to transfer ASCII files between the Cambridge Computers Z88 and
an Atari. You will require PC Link (a hardware/software package designed to
connect the Z88 to a PC) but this replaces the software designed to run at
the PC end with an Atari equivalent. Registered users get an improved
version which also handles binary transfers. TECHNOBUG by Joaquín Ferrero -
A GFA listing (GFA Basic required) to patch the ESC bug in Technobox CAD/2.
DEVICES - Displays the capacity (in Mb) of each hard drive partition as well
as the transfer rate for the individual partitions along with some other
information such as number of files, number of folders etc. ZZZAP by Bill
Silvert - If using one of those programs which copies the entire contents of
Drive A to a RAMdisk, you need a program to erase the Auto folder, ACCs and
DESKTOP.INF from the RAMdisk upon completion. That's exactly what this
program does. DISK FILER V2.0 by Rick Ortman - Another floppy disk database.
This one reads the disk and displays a listing of its contents. All files
are added to the same scrolling list with their disk number included so that
you can see at a glance which disk a file is on. The resulting database can
be printed as a listing or printed to 3.5" disk labels. Some features
disabled in this Shareware version.
UTL.5618 68882 - Patches programs written in Pure C and Turbo C so as to
make them use a 68882 FPU fitted in a Mega STE. This results in a
significant speed increase for compatible programs. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-
Tucker for the translation. APPLINE V2.5 by Holger Weets - Displays an
application bar at the bottom of the screen (just like the one used in
Windows 95 on the PC) with buttons for each active application and a display
of free system memory. You can switch, hide, show, freeze applications or
even pass parameters to them via the AV protocol. Only runs under MagiC or
MagiC Mac. Includes extensive documentation in ST Guide (UTL.5557 format).
BINDIFF/BINPATCH V1.4 by Robert Federle - Two programs which allow easy
updating of programs from one version to another. BINDIFF allows you to
create a patch file containing only the differences between file A and file
B. BINPATCH then lets you apply the patch to file A in order to change it
into file B. Some applications (particularly Unix derived ones) insist in
using the Binary Diff method for upgrading from one version to the next.
Unfortunately the programs and docs are in German, although we've done a RUF
translation of the docs. BOOT PROTECTOR V2.81 by Michel Goux - A virus
protection utility. It displays the BPB info for any disk and reports
whether of not it is executable. Boot Protector recognises 280 different
executable bootsectors and will display the name of any known bootsector.
There's a selection of music to listen to whilst checking your collection
and you can immunise disks too. Nicely presented program. Doesn't know about
the Floppyshop Anti-Virus so don't be alarmed when the disk is reported as
unrecognised! SPECCY PRINT by John Bennett - Spectrum programs which allow
you to print files from the Spectrum emulator on UTL.3025. Also includes
detailed instructions on how to go about doing so and has a couple of other
programs (by different authors) for viewing and converting Spectrum
screenshots on the ST.
UTL.5619 CHKFMT v1.1 by George Woodside - Reads the BPB of a floppy disk
then displays the number of sides, sectors, tracks per sector, total
sectors, disk capacity, free space and disk serial number. DJMAGIC by Rueben
Thomas - Allows you to switch on an HP Deskjet after your computer without
having to reset the computer in order to recognise the printer. Now MagiC
compatible. EPSON_BJ by I Porter - Converts Epson compatible 24-pin
softfonts into IBM ProPrinter compatible fonts for use on the Canon BJ
series of bubblejet printers. EPSTPROX v3.04 by Thierry Rudolfo - A
SpeedoGDOS printer driver for the Epson Stylus Pro XL printer. Comes
complete with installation program which writes the necessary info into your
ASSIGN.SYS ready for use. Also installs a CPX which lets you configure it to
suit. GENETICS by Matthew Carey - An attempt to recreate the program
described by Richard Dawkins in his book The Blind Watcher. It shows how
small cumulative changes to a limited number of genes can result in quite
diverse forms. Several examples files are supplied. Simply select any point
in a diagram and see how changes to it affect the other generations of that
same diagram. INFINITE RETRY by Chris Strevens - Prevents the computer from
timimg out if the printer is busy. Particularly useful when printing large
files to laser printers as it supresses the 'Printer is not responding'
error (usually when printing large files). KILL DRIVE B by Erling Henanger -
Allows you to add or remove logical drives. Useful if you want to prevent
TOS seeing a Minix partition or want to use an external floppy or hard drive
which you forgot to switch on at boot up. DISKMASTER 3 by Tom Gordon - A
multi-purpose utility which lets you carry out routine disk management tasks
(view directory, create directory, copy/delete/move/rename files and folders
and format disks). A few extras include the ability to calculate the size of
a folder's contents, show free space on disk/in RAM, view/print
NEO/Degas/Spectrum 512 files, play MOD files and display ASCII text files.
All in all a versatile all round utility package. CHOPPER GLASSES DRIVER
V1.0 by Glen Sescila - A DIY project which allows you to use 3D Sega Chopper
glasses on your ST. It involves the building of a PCB (diagram on disk) and
the use of the supplied driver software. The hardware is identical to the PC
version of this project and interfaces via the serial port. The will work
with all software written for the now defunct StereoTek glasses and have
been tested with MOLECULE and CAD 3D2 from the CyberStudio series.
COMPULSIVE COPIER V1.1 by John Grieggs - A very basic copier which has just
one purpose, to create up to a maximum of 9 copies of any disk as quickly
and simply as possible. An added bonus is the fact that the destination disk
does not need to be formatted. The program does it for you. DMDUNG2 by John
Logan - A new level for FTL's Dungeon Master game. Please note this is not a
standalone level, requiring to be loaded into the original game. DMSPELL -
Three Degas PI1 files illustrating all the spells available in the original
Dungeon Master game, which characters can use them and what effects they
have. You will need a package capable of viewing PI1 files (GEM-View,
Imagecopy, Look 'n See etc) in order to make use of these. FLYING STARS V1.0
by Thomas Sahlin - A screen saver which displays stars when activated. What
makes it different is that it does not automatically engage itself after a
period of inactivity. Instead, it sits idly as an ACC and is not activated
unless you select it. FORMAT V2.04 - A disk formatter which lets you format
40/80/81/82/83 tracks, single/double sided, 9/10 sectors. It also lets you
create an MS-DOS compatible format or write a virus immunised bootsector.
You can even have it write your favourite bootsector to every disk (includes
a program to grab the bootsectors). Runs as an ACC or PRG. HD_CTRL4 - A DIY
project which allows you to use high density drives on your ST. It involves
the programming of a GAL device (data supplied) which handles most of the
work. Some modifications to your ST are needed but these are minimal. If you
don't have the facilities to program the GAL, it can be purchased from the
author.
UTL.5621 CIVILISATION PATCH V1.5 by Jürgen Keitel - Lets you patch saved
game files from Civilisation so as to change the amount of gold you have,
aim of research, type of government, diplomacy, current year and indeed all
units (attack, defence, cost of building etc) in the game. Program in German
but docs in both English and German so you'll know what you're doing! COOL
WAVE ARCHIVE CONVERTER (CWAC) V3.02 by Lee Offenberger - Automates the
conversion of archives between ARC, LZH, ZIP and ZOO formats. Simply select
the source and destination formats and CWAC will do its work. Please note
that you will require copies of the appropriate archivers as CWAC is merely
an easy to use shell which calls the appropriate packers as required. If
files selected are not already archived, they will simply be archived using
the selected archiver. DESKTOP by Noud van Kruysbergen - Allows you to use
any monochrome Degas image as a Desktop backdrop when running in high
res. Several versions of the program are included for different sets of
circumstances. FLOPSPEED by Ludovic Hirlimann - Halves floppy disk access
times by switching off the verify flag. Requires a Cookie Jar to be
installed, so TOS 1.6 upwards (or use with programs on UTL.5340). MUSIC BASE
V1.5 by Owen Rogers - A specialised database program for managing your
collection of records, tapes and CDs. It stores such data as artist's name,
album title, year, publisher, description, composer, duration, number of
tracka and notes. It also asks if the title is a record, tape or CD. You can
search for your favourite song/album/group etc. Print out is supported to
Epson compatible printers. THE CANNON FODDER SURVIVAL KIT by Dr D - Lets you
skip the intro sequence, skip any phase, choose your starting level and have
infinite men and/or ammunition in the game Cannon Fodder. Simply set up your
preferences, insert the Cannon Fodder disk A into the drive and off you go!
UTL.5622 CARL HAFNER DISK #3 - Another collection of utilities from the
Carl Hafner in the USA. ANKLEKEY V1.08C - A menu based system which allows
you to select files with a simple mouse click rather than having to hunt
through numerous folders. It works by creating 'surrogate' files and lets
you run the original by selecting the 'surrogate'. For instance you could
give all your graphics and communications programs the extensions ART and
COM respectively. This way you can easily bring up a list of *.ART or *.COM
files, regardless of their physical locations and run them directly from the
menu. Anklekey also includes the ability to copy/move/rename delete
files/folders and has a few other useful disk/file management functions
built in. Works under Geneva or single tasking TOS and lets you specify
whether files should be executed in single or multi-tasking mode if used
with Geneva. MOONTREK 3 - A collection of 32 mono and 32 colour wallpaper
designs for use as Desktop backdrops with NeoDesk 4, Thing, Deskpic etc.
Also includes 34 mono and 34 colour fill pattern for use as wallpaper
NeoDesk 4, Thing, Deskpic etc. There are also 2 fonts for use with the Warp
9 screen accelerator and 3 Warp 9 screen saver modules for use with the
THRONE.EXT module. As suggested by the name, everything in this collection
follows a Space theme. UNCLE HELP v7 - A collection of 33 Help files for
Carl's programs, all written as hypertext files for use with Geneva's
Hypertext Help Viewer v1.01 or later (not included). These form the full
documentation to Carl's main releases but are no use to you unless you have
Geneva.
UTL.5623 CARL HAFNER DISK #4 - Another disk full of 'Uncle' Carl's
programs. ALBION V1.11a - A file management utility. It lets you create or
change a disk volume label, create/rename/delete folders, delete/rename
files and alter any file's attributes (read/write or read only, set fastload
bit, hide file or change the date/timestamp to current time). You can also
subsitute characters not normally allowable under TOS, into filenames.
BUDDYBOOT V1.04 - A boot manager which allows you to set up 40 preset boot
configuration sets all of which can be easily selected using the mouse or
the function keys (combined with others). It handles Auto programs, ACCs and
CPXs as well as INF and SYS files. You can have two paths for ACCs (if using
software which allows ACCs to be loaded from somewhere other than the root
directory) and CPXs and can automatically display a picture on boot up. You
can also specify up to 12 files to be automatically copied to different
destinations (eg; to a RAMdisk) on bootup and batch files can be executed.
COLORSAVER V1.01 - A handy ACC which restores your chosen Desktop colours
(assuming you've saved them) after any program which messes them up on exit.
Includes GFA Basic source. F STOP UTILITIES V1.02 - Lets you perform a
screendump from the Desktop or within any GEM based program. The image can
then be reloaded and any 64x64 pixel section grabbed in IMG format for use
as a tiled Desktop backdrop with NeoDesk 4, Thing or Deskpic. QUICKBOOT
V1.03 - Allows you to quickly rename up to ten different types of files
(particularly useful for disabling all Auto PRGs or ACC at once). It then
renames all files in the selected path which match the chosen extender, to
the extender of your choice in a single operation. You can also
copy/delete/rename files/folders and create new folders from within
Quickboot. You can even reboot directly from the program. UNCLE CARL'S
FAMOUS VOLUME LABELLER V1.03 - A quick and easy program which lets you
change a disk's volume label or create a new one.
UTL.5639 EGALE V3.9 by Christof Schardt - A Shareware file comparison
utility which compares any two text or program files and displays them side
by side in a split screen GEM window. Up to sixteen pairs of files can be
opened simultaneously and you can select to have either similarities OR
differences highlighted. You can even perform multiple string searches on
the files. This latest version also lets you edit binary files, perform a
word count on text files, create diff files, create recursive directory
listings and patch programs. Simply the best file comparison utility on
Atari computers, and a lot more besides. Multi-TOS & MagiC compatible.
UTL.5652 USING INTERACTIVE AUTHOR by Esquimalt Digital Logic Inc - An
Interactive Textbook designed to demonstrate the use of the new Interactive
Author software which comes bundled with the full version of the Oases
(formerly known as OMEn) operating system. IA allows you to create your own
multi-media 'books' with each page having the ability to contain text,
graphics, sound and digitised 'movies'. This disk contains the first of
these 'books' and gives an insight as to how it's done as well as showing an
example of what sort of results you can expect to create yourself. Although
primarily intended for educational use (you can insert evaluation questions
at appropriate points and block further access until they are answered
correctly), Interactive Textbooks can be used for presentations or simply to
entertain. You could even create your own multi-media disk mag! Please note
that this is demonstration (run-time version) which cannot be edited. You
get the full editor (including an application to grab your movies using Vidi
ST) if you buy the full version of Oases from Floppyshop. Interactive Author
is reason enough to buy the system now! This disk requires the demo of Oases
(UTL.4607) and cannot be run without it. Needs 1 Mb.
UTL.5670 MKRSC - An RSC construction kit. Although very capable, this
program does not allow you to edit RSC files created by other editors. In
addition, you cannot use icons or bit mapped graphics in your files. What
you can do is create and edit your own RSC files and output their associated
C header files. OFAKE - Creates a 'fake' drive O under Multi-TOS. Drive U
(unified file system) is then mapped onto O:\. This is useful if your file
selector (or application) will not allow you to access drive letters beyond
P. RAMFS V1.4 by Thierry Bousch - A re-sizeable ramdisk for use with Multi-
TOS. It installs as U:\ram and simply grows or shrinks as required to
accomodate its contents, returning unused memory to the OS pool. Another
advantage of using RAMFS is that it allows filenames to be up to 35
characters long (useful if Minix is installed). ROTATOR V0.60 by Simon
Coward - This is a utility for use with SpeedoGDOS or NVDI 3 or later. It
allows you to apply the most incredible effects to vector fonts. Your text
can be angled, rotated or arched and you can apply circular text effects, 3D
effects (up to 200 layers are possible!) and shadows. You can even have
'exploding' text. The manipulated text is then saved out in IMG format ready
for incorporating into your favourite DTP package. This Shareware version
does not let you enter your own text, register for £5 to overcome the
restriction. TIMEZONE V1.0 by Phillipe Abel - A CPX which allows you to set
your current time zone relative to GMT. It also allows you to set 'daylight
savings' (the difference between summer time and regular time). These values
are handled by a Cookie in the Cookie Jar and can be used to calculate the
time in GMT as opposed to system time for applications which require it.
It's also a useful aid for calculating time difference if calling abroad!
TIME_201.FIX by Nial Grimes - A text file detailing the installation
procedure needed to get Timeworks v2.01 up and running with SpeedoGDOS. Also
includes a print accelerator and the correct width files for 9-pin, 24-pin
and Laser/Deskjet printers. N_PUBLISH v2.01 by Noud van Kruysbergen - Allows
you to use up to four different printer setups with Timeworks Publisher 2.
Fiddly to set up but once installed you simplty select the printer you wish
to use for the current session and this program installs the correct
ASSIGN.SYS and PUBLISH.WID files. PHODATA V1.1 by Simon Coward - A
specialised database aimed at photographers. It lets you enter the sheet
number, photograph number and date. Space is given for a two line
description, followed by notes on the location and equipment used. Records
may be called up by their number or searched (across fields) and printed out
if desired. There's also a memo facility which lets you enter notes which
will not be printed out. ST INTRO by Joseph Rodrigues - A tutorial on using
the ST's desktop. Simply click onto the menu items (which mirror those on
the GEM Desktop) and an explanation of each item and its function is given.
An ideal 'get you started' guide for new users.
UTL.5691 BAND NAME by Dan Wilga - How do pop groups think up their names?
Perhaps with this easy to use program! It generates random names (how does
Lose Me Blue, Flame Of Death or Meek Sword sound?) suitable for pop groups
without any user intervention. Some of them are pretty good too! BUBBLES by
Jon Lewis - A terminal protector. If it detects no activity on any of the
ports for 1 minute it blanks out the screen and generates floating bubbles.
Nice and relaxing to watch! CART_DRV by Dan Wilga - Allows shell programs to
run programs contained on a cartridge. It simply renames the 'c' drive to
'P' or whatever else you want to call it and your 'new' drive behaves
identically to the cartridge (i.e. you can obtain a directory and run
programs but you cannot copy or delete the programs). Q-BACKUP V1.0 by
Christian Ernst - Backs up only the files you select from hard drive to
floppy. Nice and easy to use but unfortunately without docs. NEWBELL V1.1 by
Dan Wilga - Replaces the system bell (warning ping, if you prefer) with a
digitised sound of your chosing. Two example bell sounds are supplied
although any SPL file will work equally well. EPRO 2.4A - Updates ExtenDOS
Pro v2.3, 2.3A or 2.4 to v2.4A. This is only a patch program and is no use
to you unless you have an original of the appropriate version of ExtenDOS
Pro. If your version is earlier than 2.3, we have other updaters (from v2.0
upwards) on UTL.5545.
UTL.5760 CANDYMAN CHEAT by The Resevoir Gods - Gives you complete
protection from the 'tooth fairy' in the game of the same name. MAXIDISK
V2.2 by U R Anderson - A bug fixed version of Max Bohm's comopressing
ramdisk. Like any other ramdisk, MaxiDisk sets aside an area of RAM for use
as a much faster 'virtual drive'. It behaves exactly like a floppy, it's
just about 50 times faster! MaxiDisk is reset-proof which means its contents
survive a reset (but not a power down). What makes it unique is that it
compresses data (as per Ice Pack, Atomik etc) as you copy data into it,
allowing the ramdisk to hold about 30% more data than its size dictates.
This latest revision has many bugs fixed, is more compatible with other
software and now runs on all ST TOS versions. STEWART V1.05E by John McLoud
- A Copland (new name for the latest OS upgrade on the Mac) emulator for
MagiC? Not quite but Stewart (can you spot the obvious connection?) gives
much of the look and feel of Copland to MagiC v3 or later. Here's a quick
rundown of some of its features:- rounded screen corners, click anywhere on
the Desktop to top the Desktop and its windows, white background in drop
down menus replaced by grey, dotted divider lines in drop down menus
replaced by solid ones, GEM grow & shrink boxes replaced by spin boxes,
clock (digital or analog) in menubar, 3D menu text, switch off or replace
the MagiC logo. This Shareware release disables itself after half an hour of
use but is otherwise fully functional. Stewart requires a minimum resolution
of 640x480 in 16 colours, so it's TT or Falcon only UNLESS you have a
graphics card on your ST. Also, it only runs under MagiC 3 (or MagicMac) or
later. NOTHING V1.0 by John McLoud - A redraw manager for use with ALICE (on
UTL.5115). It intercepts iconify messages from ALICE and forces the screen
to update as appropriate. In order to work correctly, it also requires STIC,
the STEWART iconify manager (also on disk) and only runs under MagiC 3 or
later. Docs currently in German. STIC V1.00 by John McLoud - An attempt at a
universal iconify manager (although it currently works only with STEWART and
NOTHING). Like ALICE, it allows windows or indeed entire applications to be
iconified even when the application itself does not ordinarily support
iconification. STIC scores in that it allows the iconified windows to be
larger than usual and supports the use of long filenames in iconified
windows. STIC only runs under MagiC 3 or later. This version is in English.
START ME UP V7.00E by Thomas Much - Described as yet another reason why NOT
to buy a PC! SMU effectively brings the functionality of the Windows 95
start button to your Atari! It opens a small window on screen which leads to
a number of pop-up hierachical menus. These can lead to all your popular
programs on your hard drive or can effectively replace the need for icons on
the Desktop. No longer do you have to wade through nested folders to find a
particular program. You even overcome the 'maximum number of icons on
Desktop' limitation. If that's not enough, assuming your Desktop is AV
compatible (Thing, Gemini, No!Desk etc), you can also open directories,
copy/move/rename files and much more from within SMU. There's just one snag,
SMU is intended for use with MagiC v4 (although it will work with Multi-TOS
and N.AES too). STD CODES V2.0 by Mark Baines - A CPX (for use with
XControl) which knows about all the new UK area dialing codes introduced in
April 1995. You can type in the code to have the area displayed or vice
versa. It also contains details of other non-geographic codes such as
freephone, local call charge, mobile numbers and such like. There's even a
facility which lets you alter the data yourself if the dialing codes ever
change again! TUCSHELL by Geoff Wilson - The Ultimate Converter (on
WRD.5114) is a program for converting one word processor's file format to
another. This is a nice easy to use GEM based front end for use with it (the
original TUC was TTP based). It allows you to specify the full pathnames of
the input/output/TUC files with a few simple clicks of the mouse.
UTL.5761 LEAGUE BOWLING SECRETARY V3 by Robert Johnson - As the name
suggests, this program assists your bowling club's secretary by keeping
track of the schedule of forthcoming games and scores from past games. It
handles a season of up to 60 weeks and a league with up to 40 teams (each
with between 1 and 5 players). It handles such peculiarities as blind games,
forfeited games, postponed games, player swaps, different handicaps for men
and women and much more. 22DIETY by Robert Bowen - A reference aid for use
by the Dungeon Master to be used in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. It
supports all six types of die used in role playing games and lets you roll
up to 9 dice of each type. It even adds up the scores for you. The program
also includes a monster editor which allows you to create a database of
monsters built up from 19 common fields. Pictures can also be assigned to
different monsters if required. There's even a 'random encounters' editor
included. THE GENERATOR v1.0 by Paul Cisek - Symplifies the generation of
player's characters in the board game Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and allows
you to print out the complete character sheet. It observes all the rules of
AD&D and other TSR Hobbies' games when creating your character. Character
attributes can be chosen manually or by the roll of die. One of the better
character generators. AV CABLE - A GIF image showing how to connect S-Video
and composite video cables to an Atari Jaguar. This is a massive diagram
optimised for printing at 300/360 dpi. You will require suitable software to
view or print it. A knowledge of electronics and the ability to use a
soldering iron are essential. CALLFIX V1.0 by Tom Nolan - Patches some
incompatibilities between TOS versions. If an old program starts playing up
and you have recently upgraded your TOS version, this program stands a good
chance of getting it running again. THE ENHANCER V1.0 by The Behne Brothers
- Extends the built-in VDI functions of TOS to support off-screen bitmaps
and allow the use of the vq_scrninfo(), v_opnbm() and v_clsbm() functions.
It also patches the Falcon's True Colour mode to make v_get_pixel()
compatible with it. This patch is essential for the smooth running of many
new programs if you do not have NVDI 2.5 or later installed. If you do, you
don't need Enhancer as it's built into NVDI. Docs in German but we've done a
RUF translation. CIVCHEAT V2.60 by Jeff Wisniewski - Increases your stash of
cash to $30,000 in Microprose's game Civilisation by patching a saved game
file.
UTL.5770M 2ND LIFE V0.6 by Sander Berents - A fully functional emulator for
the Tandy TRS-80 Model III (a Z80 based 8-bit computer) which came out
around 1981. It claims to run nearly all Model III software and includes
three 'virtual disks' with software for you to run. Also includes programs
which allow you to transfer disk images across from a real TRS-80 via the
parallel port and to convert disk images created for TRS-80 emulators on the
Mac and PC so that they too will work on the Atari version. Also features
bi-directional transfer to allow ASCII files to be freely transferred
between the two machines. Docs are in RTF format, so you'll need a copy of
Marcel (WRD.4501) unless you already have software which supports RTF (eg;
Papyrus).
UTL.5771 PARALLEL COPY V3.21 by Petr Stehlik - Allows you to connect an
Atari to a PC via the parallel port. This is an early release but supports
the sending and receiving of files between any TOS based computer (from ST
to Hades!) and any PC (from an XT to a Pentium) at around five times the
speed supported by Ghostlink (UTL.4410). It doesn't give you virtual drives
in the clever way that Ghostlink does, but it's VERY fast at throwing large
files across from one machine to the other. It is also possible to connect
Atari to Atari and PC to PC. Software and cable diagrams (yes, you'll need
to make up the cable yourself!) for both machines/transfer options is
included. PASSTHRU V2.71 by Florian Erhard - A useful program which extends
the ability of the Install Application option on the GEM Desktop. Passthru
lets you double-click any (listed) filetype and its creator program is
invoked. The necessary parameters are then passed to the creator program
prior to launching it. The parameter passed depends on which key(s) you are
holding down when you double-click the data file. This application is
functionally very similar to Applier (on UTL.5291) but fixes some problems
which cause lengthy error reports. It also extends functionality beyond that
of its predecessor. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but
we've done a RUF translation. RAMSCH-RSC by Rainer Schmid - A resource file
editor. Runs in medium or high res and has all the usual features and a few
extras too, such as a built-in icon editor and GEM clipboard support. Well
presented program but both program and docs are in German, although we've
done a RUF translation of the docs. SUPER DIRECTORY DATA FILE READER V1.2 by
Catspaw Software - Reads a Super Directory (a program by Michtron) data file
and outputs it to screen, printer or disk. The disk output is in pure ASCII
and therefore suitable for importing into any word processor. It was
essentially developed as a means by which Super Directory users could give
their data files to others who did not own a copy of the program.
UTL.5772 TOTAL VIEW ST V1.5 by Carl Limsico - A text file viewer which lets
you page up and down, mark text for printing and so forth. Can be installed
as an application so that it is automatically invoked when a file with the
appropriate extension is double-clicked. THE ULTIMATE VIRUS DETECTOR V2.42
by Daniel Hägg - An ACC based virus killer. It checks memory as well as
disks and sits in the background monitoring each new disk inserted into the
Drive. As well as recognising a large number of bootsector viruses, it also
alerts you to unknown executable bootsectors so that you can check them out.
VOFA 4000 V1.03 - Another Shareware DIY project which lets you build the
necessary hardware to connect an ET4000 graphics card to an ST in order to
use a VGA monitor displaying up to 32,000 colours. It is really intended for
fitting into the VME slot inside a Mega ST (doesn't work on a Mega STE) but
it is also possible to fit to to an STFM (but not an STE), although that
involves soldering wires directly onto the 68000 CPU and you will need to
recase your FM as there's insufficient space beneath the shielding to house
the card. The package includes full instructions, driver software and images
of the GAL chips required for the modification. The entire DIY project is
contained on the disk for you to undertake yourself. If you don't have the
facilities to create the circuit board or GALs these can be purchased
directly from the authors. In fact you can buy the full package ready to
install if required, it's up to you what you build yourself and what you
purchase. Please note that you'll need at least 1 Mb of RAM and a copy of
NVDI for ET-4000 (although this too can be purchased from the authors). All
programs and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the
docs.
UTL.5773 CQD V2.1 by TNT - File identifier. Choose any file and it will be
identified as an executable file, ASCII text etc. A list of legal extensions
for that file type will also be given. Other info such as the file size,
creation date and file header are also given as is the ability to launch the
file or unpack it. Useful if a file's extension is wrong and you want to
identify it. Now in English. JETFIND V1.31 by Dirk Steins - A very fast file
locator which runs as a PRG or ACC. Type the first few letters of a filename
followed by wildcards (accepts extended wildcards too) or use the whole
name. Specify whether you wish to search the current drive or all drives.
Much faster than the TOS 2.06 Desktop's built-in Search facility and more
useful too as it lists all finds in a scrollable window. The list can be
copied to the GEM Cliboard or all files found can be deleted (useful for
getting rid of all those BAK files). Program in English but docs in German
although we've done a RUF translation. LOADTIME by Ludovic Rousseau -
Displays the time and date each time you start up your computer. If the
details are incorrect (eg; when the clocks change), you can manually adjust
Loadtime. N_MENMIN v1 by Noud van Kruysbergen - Changes the broken lines
(i.e. '-') which separate menu items (on the Desktop and in GEM windows)
into solid ones to give a much neater appearance to the Desktop. SOFT PC
PATCH by Patrice Bensoussan - Two programs to enhance the usability of
SoftPC (MS-DOS emulator for the TT and Falcon). The first allows you to put
the emulator files anywhere you wish on your hard drive (they had to be in a
specific path previously). The other program is an alternative loader for
the system which remembers your Desktop colours and restores them correctly
on exit. NAME COOKIE INSTALLER by Carsten Tolkmit - Asks for your name,
birthdate etc then creates your own personal cookie. It is then possible for
other programs which are Name Cookie aware, to extract this information as
required. The docs include programming info on how to do this from your own
programs. MAKE UP V1.03 by Frank Behrens - Alllows you to convert ASCII text
into hypertext for use with 1st Guide (UTL.5013). If 1st Guide is running as
an ACC you can monitor the changes you make and test out your links as you
create them. Both program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF
translation of the docs. INSTANT by Yves Arrouye - Run this program, then
press ALT+HELP to save the currently displayed screen to the current
directory in Degas format. Works for all three resolutions. N_ALTHLP by Noud
van Kruysbergen - An Auto folder patch and accompanying CPX which lets you
save any displayed screen in Degas or (if mono) IMG format by pressing
ALT+HELP. The CPX lets you switch it on or off and each saved file is given
a higher number if another of the same name exists in the current path. BPR
- Sends a binary file directly to the parallel port. Really intended for
outputting HPGL files to Deskjets but could be put to other uses.
UTL.5774 ALT MORE V1.0 - How often do you try to read an ASCII file using
the Desktop's 'Show' function only to find that the text appears to be one
continuous line and runs off the edge of the screen? This is because the
text is in Unix format. ALT MORE sits in your Auto folder and 'watches' for
such files. When it encounters one it displays it correctly on screen.
APPMAN V0.86 by Jerry Geiger - An Application Manager. After setting up,
when you select any file, a pop-up menu appears asking you whether you want
to show it, edit it, execute it, print it or pack/unpack it. Different
options appear for different files as Appman can be set up to distinguish
between executables and data files. You simply link other applications to
set extensions (or even complete filenames) and Appman does the work.
Requires a replacement Desktop which supports the VA protocol or AES 4.0
(Multi-TOS, Geneva, MagiC etc). ASS V0.1 - Designed to combat the Baby
Turtle Virus which scrambles up text strings within files. It does this by
trying to distinguish which characters were not entered via the keyboard and
then tries to reconstruct the original string. CASIOMODO V1.3 by Uwe Krumm -
Allows you to transfer files between an Atari and a Casio FV 850P/880P
(handheld computer) easily using the serial port. Using this program, it is
possible to edit Casio documents on your Atari and print them out (to 9-pin
or 24-pin printers only). The package even allows the Casio's special
characters to be printed. This Shareware version restricts the baud rate for
transfer. There are two levels of registration, one gets you the manual and
the hardware dongle to increase the baud rate, the other omits the dongle
and gives instructions on how to build your own. Unfortunately both program
and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. Mono
res only, Needs 1 Mb. COFFEE - A coffee maker on your own Desktop! Yes, you
select how you like your coffee and this nicely presented GEM program will
make a lovely cup of 'virtual coffee' to your preference. No spills
guaranteed! GREGOR V1.02 by Alain Popek - A CPX based calendar for use with
XControl. As the name suggests, it is a Gregorian calendar which essentially
means that it can look up dates from 15/10/1582 onwards. Program and docs in
French, although it's not really a problem with a calendar. Runs in low res
only. HD-CPX V1.1 by B Figureau - A CPX for formatting high density disks.
It allows up to 83 sectors/20 tracks. If you regularly use a specific
format, you can save it as default from the CPX. Only of use if you have
high density drive upgrade fitted. All in French but obvious. COPS V1.07E by
Thomas Much and the Behne Bros - A complete replacement for Xcontrol under
MagiC v4 (or later) and MagiCMac v1.2.5 (or later). It reads the locations
of the CPX modules from CONTROL.INF and places their icons within a moveable
GEM window. It supports unlimited CPXs (subject to memory) and long
filenames (if your system supports this). Now in English. GETKEY V1.00 by
Rich Tietjens - A utility for use with the CLI TOMSHELL (UTL.407). It lets
you create batch files from single keypresses (by saving their keycode into
an ASCII file). These can then be used in conjuction with a handful of
simple commands so as to create multiple choice menus from which you can run
your programs.
UTL.5775 MASTER V6.0 by Michael Naumann and Edgar Greuter - A command line
interface with many of the features of MS-DOS and UNIX built-in. Features
include file redirection, support for extended arguments, write protecting
of logical drives, the ability to access ACCs from within Master, on-line
Help, support for external modules and more. A comprehensive program which
is almost entirely in English! MONO ICE by Eines Computing - An icon editor
for use with TOS 2.06. It lets you create your own icons or grab parts of
Degas images. If running it as an ACC you can also grab parts of the Desktop
or the GEM program you're running for use in your icons. Includes the usual
pen, fill, box, line and circle tools as well as cut and paste and the
ability to create a mask for your icon. Your creations can be saved in C,
Assembler or standard RSC format. A number of example icons (126 of them!)
are included. Runs in mono only although the edited icons will run in any
res.
UTL.5776 CD BASE by Dolphin Software - Yet another customised database for
keeping track of your audio CD collection. This is undoubtedly one of the
more polished ones both in terms of appearance and in ease of use. There's
no drop down menus, just a few boxes to click onto to enter new data or
search an existing file. Includes fast powerful wildcard searches and
outputs to Epson, Canon and HP printers. Data stored includes CD title,
artist, song title, track number, track length, year of recording, your
personal rating etc. This Shareware version limits you to 10 CD's, 150
tracks and 35 artists. The registered version supports up to 210 CDs per
floppy disk or 910 if using a hard drive. The artists and tracks supported
run into thousands! HOT PATH SETTER 3 by John Eidsvoog and Charles F Johnson
- A useful program which simplifies the process of relocating installed
pathnames in HOTWIRE config files after you have moved the files. It also
performs an automatic conversion of HOTWIRE v1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 files to
v1.4 standard. HOTSWITCH by John Eidsvoog - Lets you switch resolution using
a simple keypress when running HOTWIRE. It supports the use of different
DESKTOP.INFs and HOTWIRE config files. It also performs a clean reboot (by
shutting down ACCSs legally) so as not to crash ACCs when changing
resolution, like GEM often does. Obviously you need Codehead's HOTWIRE in
order to make use of these two programs. HOT SAVER V1.1 by John Eidsvoog - A
screen saver designed for use with HOTWIRE, although it also runs without
it. It has lots of options like setting of idle time, animation, watching
various ports (or other events) for activity and much more. LOAD IT by
Martin Howard - Allows you to specify a file (or files) to automatically
copy from Drive A to any other destination (usually a Ramdisk) on boot up.
ED HAK ICON - A NeoDesk v3 or 4 icon for the ACC based text editor Ed Hak.
XUFSL V1.05 by Stefan Rogel - A universal font selector for use with GDOS,
SpeedoGDOS and NVDI (v3 or higher). It allows fonts to be easily selected
from a pop-up GEM window in applications which support the extended
universal font selector protocols. Very well presented product with lots
of user-definable settings. All in German but we've done a RUF translation
of the docs.
UTL.5781 VDI FONT V2.10 by Harald Sommerfeldt - Auto program and CPX which
allow you to select any monospaced (i.e. not proportional) GDOS or
SpeedoGSfont DOS as a replacement for the built-in System font. Once
installed, GEM will always use your chosen font rather than the system one.
TALKER V1.1 by G Hungerford - A text file reader. Select an ASCII file and
TALKER reads it back to you in the usual robotic voice. This program is
better than previous offerings as it allows you to adjust the speed and
pitch of the synthetic voice. RUNNER V1.22 by Dave Thorson - A program
launcher which allows up to 15 programs to be displayed on each menu and
the fact that menus are nested allows an almost limitless number of programs
to be used with runner. Programs themselves can be nested deeply on your
hard drive but this presents no problem to RUNNER, a simple click and
they're loading. It also handles TTP files where the parameters may be
longer than that allowed by TOS's parameters box. The file selector is
available at all times and programs can be launched directly from it if
required. RUNNER also lets you display text files. It runs in any resolution
and can display different menus for different resolutions. It can even swap
between low and medium to execute programs on a colour monitor. FONT
ORGANISER V0.02 by Vincent Godefroy - The followup to TTF-SPD on UTL.5431.
Its purpose is to enable and disable BitStream, TrueType and Postscript
fonts quickly and easily when running SpeedoGDOS or NVDI 3 (or later). It
does this using the same method as that employed by NVDI 4. The process is
speeded up by the fact that your font setup is saved in INF files which are
read the next time you run the program. This is especially useful in the
case of fonts stored on CD-ROM where the initial scan can take up to 15
minutes! There's also the ability to search for fonts nested in folders on a
CD-ROM. All changes made by FONT ORGANISER are effective immediately and you
don't need to reboot. Mono only.
UTL.5782 THE CADENZA COLLECTION - A collection of useful utilties, all
complete with source code (HiSoft Basic) by Matthew Bacon. All titles are
being distributed as Freeware, despite their high quality. AUTOCLOCK V2.61 -
A nice friendly GEM based program which lets you set the time and date
(reads system time at bootup). If running on a multi-tasking OS, it can also
display a clock on screen and has an alarm facility which alerts you with
the message of your choice. On TOS 1.4 or later you should set it up as an
Auto Install application. CALC IT V4.00 - A handy ACC based calculator. It's
rather basic in the functions (+, -, x, /, M+, MR) it offers but is
perfectly adequate for most needs. LOCKOUT V1.10 - An ACC based password
protection system. Type in any password when you leave your desk. A dialog
will pop up requesting that the password be entered. Short of rebooting,
nobody will be able to gain access to your machine in your absence. Enter
the same password to 'unlock' your machine. PALETTE - Two small programs,
the first stores your current Desktop palette settings and the second (run
after a program which messes up the palette on exit) restores them. PASSWORD
v1.10 - An Auto folder program which requires a password. Place it first in
the Auto folder and you won't be able to continue the boot process (let
alone reach the Desktop!) until the correct password has been entered. PRINT
IT V1.00 - Useful program for printing ASCII text files. It supports the use
of headers, footers, lines per page, page numbering, pages to be printed,
number of copies, margin settings and more. It even lets you use the built-
in fonts in your printer. An Epson printer driver is supplied as standard
but YOU CAN edit the ESCape codes to suit your own printer using PRINT IT
V2. PRINT IT V2.05 - Designed especially for those of you who own the more
modern printers which don't have dipswitches! It allows you to create and
test your own printer drivers which can then be used in conjuction with
PRINT IT V1 to print out ASCII text files.
UTL.5814 RDXFS - A loadable filesystem for use with MagiC. It installs a
RAM Disk which supports long (up to 32 characters) filenames and the use of
any ASCII character in filenames, can be password protected and runs in ST
RAM or FastRAM or both. Includes full Pure C sources. Docs in German but
we've done a RUF translation of the example config file. Requires MagiC 3 or
later. NEOICONS - A collection of over 500 icons (quite a few in colour) for
use with Gribnif's NeoDesk 4.
UTL.5854 DRUG GLOSSARY by W G Jones - A Supercard 3 (UTL.4145) format
database containing brief details of over 2200 generic and brand-named
drugs, together with a range of vitamins, minerals and other preparations
often used as drugs. This is the same datafile as that on UTL.5227, except
that this one has been converted for use with Supercard v3 (rather than v1).
ADDRESS by Dean Sharples - A simple no-frills name, address and telephone
number database. You can search for specific records, flick through all
records or print any record to Epson compatible printers. STOS source code
included. NOTES v2 by Dominique Béréziat - A handy utility which lets you
create notes which can be pasted onto the Desktop as reminders. Performs an
identical function to the Memo Pad in Ease and Stickies on the Macintosh. If
(Speedo)GDOS is loaded you can use any installed font for your notes. All
in French but use is obvious. Must be run under Multi-TOS, MagiC or Geneva.
POOR MAN'S FILE SERVER (PMFS) v1.03 by Paul L Moreau - A Unix to Atari file
server. Sounds odd but what it does is allow you to connect a Unix
workstation to your Atari via the RS232 port and access the Unix's hard
drive as if it were attached directly to your computer. Files can be copied
in either direction. You get an executable for the Atari and a C source file
(which must be compiled) for the Unix. We advise the use of HSModem on
COM.4407 in order to ensure reliable data transfer at higher baud rates.
START ME UP SETUP V1.0 by Heiko Schäfer - An invaluable companion to Thomas
Much's Start Me Up on UTL.5760. It allows you to drag and drop pathnames
into the Start button to automatically add them to SMU's configuration file.
Guaranteed to save hours of manually typing your system details into SMU.
Unfortunately it's in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs.
ST CHEAT MACHINE v3.00 by Martin Pugh - An impressive compilation of cheats
for over 100 ST games. It patches the original game (in memory) in order to
achieve its goal, leaving the original disk untouched. These are not 'just'
infinite life patches, many offer much more interesting ways of progressing
further into the game. It also recognises files packed with any of over 40
packer programs and patches these games too!
UTL.5870 800XL DJ by Kolja Koischwitz & Christian Krüger - As the name
suggests, this is an Atari 800XL disk drive emulator. It allows you to
load/save files to/from 1050 and XF551 disk drives and print to XL printers.
You must connect the XL to the ST using an RS232 lead (a hardware
modification is also needed if using a Falcon). Data can be copied in either
direction with XL disks being stored as disk images on the ST. 800XL DJ lets
you pack these images using Atomik packer and they can still be read as
normal (as virtual drives) on either machine. Program in English but docs in
German, although we've done a RUF translation. ST and Falcon versions on
disk. LHARC JUNIOR V3.12 by Dirk Haun - A cut down TTP based version of
Christian Grunenberg's LHARC Shell for use with CLIs. Ideal for use with the
Two In One shell on UTL.4372. Includes THE EXPLORER'S GUIDE TO LHARC by Alan
Kennedy, which is a document detailing the history of LHARC and discussing
the various versions available. All programs and docs in both English and
German.
UTL.5871 DUET MAGIC V0.4 by Senseless Software - A Freeware patch which
allows the networking software DUET (on UTL.5035) to run under the MagiC
operating system (rather than TOS). ITOSHO by The Flerps - A complete new
level for UDS's game, Substation. It takes the place of your original disk
2. Obviously you must already have Substation or it won't work! SATURN DAY
1994 by Lionel Ruiz - Computes the positions of Saturn's moons and plots
them around the planet or displays them on a graph. You can view positions
at any given time of day or watch an animation of all movements throughout
the specified day. Very accurate for data up to 1995, less accurate after
that. Program mostly in English, docs in English and French. Colour and mono
versions included. STARMAP V1.4 by Lionel Ruiz - By clicking onto various
buttons you can display the stars, planetary nebulae, open clusters, diffuse
nebulae, globular clusters and galaxies either individually or superimposed
over each other. It is also possible to zoom in or out of any section within
the display. Program in English, docs in English and French. STRAINER by UDS
- A cheat program for use with their Substation game. Load in any saved game
file and change its attributes to suit. It lets you select different
starting levels and much more. Obviously you'll need the original Substation
game in order to use this program. TAKEOFF V2.07 by Thomas Small and Oliver
Scheel - Another Mac OS inspired utility. It runs as an ACC and has slots
for up to 32 programs, each of which can be buried in folders up to 16 deep.
Each program has a 16 character alias which appears in the drop down menu.
If Gemini is installed, you can 'walk through' the relevant directories to
reach the file and indeed move to any file in any related directory. Needs
to be used with a VA protocol aware Desktop (such as Gemini, Thing or
NeoDesk) so that the applications can be launched. Also works under Multi-
TOS and MagiC. Docs in German but we've done a RUF translation. TD by Jim
Frimmel - If you have a Dallas clock chip installed, this program reads it
at bootup and sets the system time and date accordingly. If not, it displays
the time you last switched on and lets you alter it to suit. In this case,
it also survives a reset so that you only have to re-enter the time/date
after a cold boot.
UTL.5912 & UTL.5913 CALAMUS SUPPORT DISKS 6 & 7. ADEQUATE SYSTEMS
MODULES - A collection of (mostly) demo add on modules for use with the 1993
release of Calamus SL. They only work with that version of SL. If you own
the 1994 version, you need the corresponding modules on S-UTL.5914 & S-
UTL.5915. All modules are in German but we've done a RUF translation of what
little docs there are. Most docs are supplied as (German) HLP files for use
with Calamus's on-line hypertext Help module which is included with the demo
version of SL. Most are full implementations apart from the fact that they
print the Adequate Systems logo over your page. Some have different/other
restrictions. The full versions of these modules may be ordered from Image
Applications (the new distributors of Calamus in the UK). EDDIE - A demo
version of a text editor which can be used to replace PKSWrite. The
interface is rather strange at first but don't let that put you off. It's
just brimming with features. With the demo version you can edit text and try
out the features but you can't place the text back into the document.
EDDIE.FNT - The Eddie text editor can use different fonts. This font is an
alternative to the one supplied with the demo. FILTER - This module adds
basic image processing features to Calamus by way of external filters (9 are
supplied). It's difficult to know what the individual filters do and what
restrictions apply but it should be fun to play around with them! HIGHRES -
Lets you resize bitmapped graphics to any resolution. The main purpose of
this is to optimise the graphic for printer output. Highres scores in that
it enhances the graphic (as far as is possible) to compensate for the higher
resolution and avoid the usual blocky result when the frame size is
maintained but the resolution increased. Also features an improved version
of the print dialog which supports background printing amongst other things.
MERGE - Allows you to create various effects with text frames by applying
colour in a number of unique ways. A little difficult trying to work out
what you're doing without a good English-German dictionary! PAINT - You can
set any colour to be transparent, clone areas on an image, change the
density of any colour or apply watercolour, oil paint or fade out effects to
your image. SUCH_SET - Various Search & Replace extensions, presumably for
use with the Eddie text editor. TIFF DEMO - A TIFF printer driver which lets
you export your page in monochrome or colour as a TIFF image. It also lets
you specify the compression method used, whether to output in RGB or CMYK
and much more. PATCHES - Five Freeware and Shareware utilities for enhancing
the use of the 1993 and 1994 releases of Calamus SL. Unlike the other files
on the disk, these are not mere demos. CALAPAT2 - Fixes a bug which meant
the CTRL, SHIFT and ALT were ignored if text was input too fast (eg; at the
speed of a typist). FPU_SL - Patches SL to run under MagiCMac on PCI based
PowerMacs. FORM_PAT - Fixes a bug which resulted in Calamus incorrectly
rounding down the dimensions of some paper sizes. RELOPAT - Fixes bugs which
caused Calamus to crash when running under MagiCMac on a 68040 machine with
the Copy Back cache switched on. BOMBADIL - Fixes various bugs in both the
1993 and 1994 releases of SL. These include bugs transferring to/from the
clipboard, incorrect conversion of v1.09 documents, the intercepting
document structure errors, stabilising use under MagiC/MagiCMac and a few
other more obscure bugs.
UTL.5914 & UTL.5915 CALAMUS SUPPORT DISKS 8 & 9 - ADEQUATE SYSTEMS
MODULES - A collection of (mostly) demo add on modules for use with the 1994
release of Calamus SL. They only work with that version of SL. If you own
the 1993 version, you need the corresponding modules on S-UTL.5912 & S-
UTL.5913. Contents and product descriptions as per the 1993 modules above.
UTL.5934 HP SUPPORT DISK 5 - Yet another collection of useful bits and
pieces for Hewlett Packard range of Deskjet and Laserjet printers. This time
the disk is almost entirely devoted to SpeedoGDOS printer drivers. DJMAGIC
by Rueben Thomas - Allows you to switch on an HP Deskjet after your computer
without having to reset the computer in order to recognise the printer. Now
MagiC compatible. PRINT IT V2.05 - Designed especially for those of you who
own the more modern printers which don't have dip switches! It allows you to
create and test your own printer drivers which can then be used in
conjunction with PRINT IT V1 to print out ASCII text files. The SPEEDOGDOS
DRIVERS are for the Deskjet 550 and 600 and the Laserjet 4P and 4L. The
Deskjet drivers support colour if using SpeedoGDOS v5 or NVDI 3 (or later).
The 660 driver supports 600 dpi printout.
UTL.5961 PLATIN by Torsten Mohr - A printed circuit board designer. It lets
you design circuit board sizes of 128x128 (page length 16.256cm) and 256x256
(double length pages) with a depth of up to 4 planes. It has powerful block
tools enabling you to cut, copy, rotate, mirror and drag blocks. It even has
a test mode which lets you validate your circuit before creating the real
thing. This Shareware version lets you design and print your own circuits
but you cannot save them until you register. Unfortunately program and docs
are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. IMAGIN V3.2E by
Reinhard Maier - A comprehensive graph plotter which excels in its ability
to handle complex numbers and supports logarithmic output. Features include
fast fourier transformation with autoscaling, fast flexible output of
complex and real functions, formula library with 50 functions, powerful
zooming, polar mode, logarithmic scaling of both axis, printing and font
support via (Speedo)GDOS and NVDI (v3 or later), full support for mouse and
keyboard, multi-tasking friendly and much more. A special FPU version is
included for enhanced performance on machines with an FPU. Includes docs in
ST-Guide format. MEGABRD2 - Two GIF files with colour coded wiring which
shows how to connect a Mega ST, Mega STe or TT keyboard to an ST, STe or
Falcon. You will require suitable software such as GEM-View (ART.3485),
Imagecopy or any other GIF viewer in order to make use of these files. DST
by Jos den Bekker - Sets your computer's clock back by an hour in October
and forward by an hour in March to coincide with GMT/BST. Although set to
these values by default, you can specify the dates and times of change and
hours or minutes by which to alter the clock, making it an ideal tool for
use worldwide.
UTL.5962 GDOS_CPX - Three CPXs for use with Atari's Xcontrol on UTL.3879.
They are for use with GDOS/SpeedoGDOS. OUTLINE.CPX - A replacement for
Speedo's OUTLINE.ACC. It lets you set up the caches and width tables, set
default paths and list disabled fonts. OPTIONS.CPX - Displays the current
default Speedo printer and lets you alter the print quality, page size,
output port, DPI etc. PRINTER.CPX - Lets you alter the default path to your
fonts and printer drivers for use with GDOS. You can also change the
settings for paper size, printable area etc. This CPX is more or less a
combination of the previous two but for GDOS rather than SpeedoGDOS. GOOFY
V1.2 by Patrice Bensoussan - An interrupt driven printer spooler. It acts
just like the print function on the Desktop except that you can continue to
use your computer when the file is printing if you run it as an ACC or under
a multi-tasking OS. In fact it can even be used as a direct replacement for
Multi-TOS's LPR. Goofy is intended to be used for printing text only but
also works with applications which output in graphic mode, albeit very
slowly, but who cares when it frees up your machine to work on something
else? HELP LIBRARY V2.01 by Jeroen Scheerder - A menu driven system for
creating your own Help files. Full C sources and object file are supplied so
that programmers can incorporate the system directly into their programs.
For the rest of us there's detailed instructions (in English!) on how to
create your own Help files without resorting to programming. MCMONO V2 - A
mono emulator with a difference. It offers eight different display modes,
one of which is to switch back to your original colour display. It is fully
configurable in use and seems faster than most mono emulators. It even
includes a colour screen saver! ST-GUIDE CREATOR REL 4 by Gregor Duchalski -
A collection of five useful tools designed to take the pain out of creating
ST-Guide (UTL.5557) hypertext files. You can convert the Tele Office
handbook and PC UFP Star Trek database into ST-Guide format. Other programs
let you create alias names for pages and append files to each other.
Probably the most useful is a program which lets you convert ASCII text into
ST-Guide format allowing text attributes, title generation and hierarchical
chapter referencing to be added automatically. These utilities are
invaluable if you're thinking of creating ST-Guide on-line Help files and
reference guides. Why do it the hard way?
UTL.5963 GDOS PRINTER DRIVERS - A collection of GDOS (as opposed to
SpeedoGDOS) printer drivers. Supported devices include Canon LBP, Epson LQ,
Epson FX80 (2 versions), HP Laserjet, MetaSys (2 versions), Star NB15, NEC
P6 (2 versions), generic 24-pin (4 versions including wide carriage
printers), SLM804, SMM804. There's also a utility which lets you modify an
Epson FX (normal or wide carriage) printer driver to make it compatible with
the Star Gemini 10X or 15X or the Atari SLM804. Please note that you require
a copy of GDOS v1.1 (or one of the various PD clones) in order to use the
drivers on this disk. They will not work with SpeedoGDOS or NVDI.
UTL.5964 CALSER V1.1 by Roine Stenberg - Copyrighted Calamus fonts only
run with the copy of Calamus they are licensed for. This serial number is
embedded within the font. PD/Shareware fonts have a serial number of 0. This
program displays the serial number of every Calamus font in a given
directory. It does not attempt to change any serial numbers, it merely
displays them. CAR_REG V1.4 by Mark Baines - A useful CPX for use with
Xcontrol (on UTL.3879) which identifies a car's year of manufacture and
place of registration from its registration number. You can also enter a
town/city name and get a list of valid registration numbers for that area.
Although set up for UK registrations, you can alter the data file for any
country. CLIPBOARD + by Kellis - An ACC which lets you view the contents of
the GEM Clipboard, rename SCRAP.TXT (to avoid it being overwritten when you
next copy a block) or export it to the CAB WWW browser. English and French
versions included. FASTLZH V2.0 by Gary Burke - Allows you to create,
extract or view the contents of LZH archives. Runs as a PRG or ACC, TTP
version also supplied. Does not require the LZH archiver, it's built-in.
POSTCODE V1.2 by Mark Baines - Another CPX for use with Xcontrol. It allows
you identify which town any specified postcode belongs to or obtain the
postcode by entering a place name. Although set up for UK postcodes, the
data file can be edited to suit any country. RCS30 by Bill Penner - An
updated version of Atari's Resource Construction Kit (used by programmers to
create RSCs for their programs). This version allows larger RSCs to be
created, is multi-tasking friendly, support for colour icons, and features
many bug fixes over the original.
UTL.5967 BASE64 DECODER V0.9 by Jeremy Gillet - More and more files sent
by PC users across the Internet in email messages use Base64 encoding in
preference to uuencoding. The problem is that Atari users can't decode the
damned things! Well we can now, thanks to this useful program. It will
decode any Base64 encoded file back to its original (ZIP, ZOO, LZH etc)
format. UNCLE HYPE V1.0 - The complete documentation to all 32 of 'Uncle'
Carl Hafner's ST utilities in ST-Guide format. You will of course need ST-
Guide (on UTL.5557) in order to read them. VIDEO DATABASE V1.1 by Robert
Lannigan - An adaptation of Fuchsias Database (on UTL.5120), this is a
customised program specially written to help you keep track of your
collection of video tapes. It's rather basic by today's standards but easy
to use and it gets the job done. Includes a search facility and printer
support.
UTL.5968 CUBASE FIX - Allows you to toggle the scroll key on/off when using
Moriarty Software's Monulator (v1.80 to v1.85) to run Cubase. MAKE MOD LIST
V1.0 by Rémi Vanel - A useful utility if you collect Soundtracker MOD files.
It scans a specified directory then writes out information on the MOD files
it finds, into an ASCII file. The info includes the file name, full module
name and packed/unpacked size (if packed with Ice 2.4, Atomik 3.5 or Speed
Packer 3). It can read info from S3M, DTM, MTM, MGT, FAR, DMF, XM, AMS, ULT,
GT2 and 669 formats as well as stard MODs. English and French versions
supplied. STRIPPER 2 by Christoph Spengler - A useful Desktop notes utility
for multi-tasking operating systems. It lets you display up to 20 lines of
text in a movable window. Up to 10 of these windows can be open at any time
and you can specify whether the window is to remain open or close down after
a predetermined time (useful for creating reminders at boot time). The note
can be displayed using different fonts, colours and point sizes (if GDOS or
a variant is installed) for each window and can be created easily in any
text editor (you can even call your text editor to edit them 'on the fly' if
running an AV compatible Desktop such as Thing (UTL.5102). CADENZA ADDRESS
BOOK (CAB) V0.99.9 by Matthew Bacon - One of the best address books ever
written. It looks simple, nothing more than a few lines of text (name and
telephone number) in a movable GEM window. Click onto any entry to get the
main database card where name, address, telephone/fax numbers and other
notes can be found. Searching is simple, just type the first few letters of
the surname or forename and all matches will be displayed instantly. As you
type more letters, the search narrows until you are left with a single
entry. Data can be sorted alphabetically and printed out. If you need a
powerful yet easy to use address book, look no further. ATARI PERSONAL
ORGANISER V1.32b by Matthew Bacon - An integrated package comprising of five
Cadenza programs. There's a diary, notepad, calculator, clock and address
book. The clock, calculator and address book programs are also available as
stand alone programs but (unless you're short of memory) you will probably
prefer this version. The diary is very flexible acting a reminder for
upcoming events. Assuming your system clock is set correctly, you can
instantly access the Today menu which holds all your info for the current
day. Another useful feature is the 7 day summary which gives you an overview
of the week ahead. You can even re-schedule diary entries, moving them from
one date to another. Output is supported to disk or printer. The notepad is
merely for jotting down reminders as you work, regrettably these cannot be
saved. The stand alone version of the address book is also on this disk. The
calculator and clock programs are on UTL.5782. PLAYBACK v2.x - A cut down
ACC version of Print-It v2 on UTL.5782. It merely lets you send the required
control codes to the printer. You will need to have (or create) a printer
driver appropriate to your printer using a text editor or Print-It V2. After
that it's a case of selecting the required functions from the list of those
available. Its main advantages over Print-It v2 are its smaller memory
requirements and ability to be called from within any GEM program.
UTL.5991M CONNECTICAD DEMO - Don't be put off by the mention of the word
demo, more on this latter. ConnectiCAD is a Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
design package. The package is German in origin but the RSC has been
translated into English. ConnectiCAD comes with a small symbol library and
allows you to flip, rotate or invert them to suit. Text can be printed at
any size or any angle. An invaluable feature is the ability to print
reversed text, allowing you to see either side of the board without having
to think in mirror images. Print out can be normal, reversed or composite
(which allows you to examine the component side of the board with the track
side also visible). Several sizes of pads are supplied as well as the
ability to change these sizes easily. Regrettably there's no docs supplied,
although we have supplied a detailed review of the package on the disk. This
demo version does not allow you to save your work in ConnectiCAD's own
vector format, you can save in IMG format. The only disadvantages (apart
from the fact that IMGs at 300 dpi can be huge!) is that they cannot be
easily edited and output resolution cannot be changed. Printout is supported
to 9-pin, 24-pin and Laserjet/Deskjet printers.
UTL.6004 A LA CARD by Reiner Rosin - Allows the GFA Basic (v3.6TT only) to
run on graphics cards with more than 2 colours. It also lets it run in 256
and True Colour modes on the Falcon and on a Mac running MagiCMac. ATARIWIC
- A set of icons originally supplied in RSC format on Atari World cover
disks which have been converted for use with Gribnif's NeoDesk 4. DB SPOOL
V1.0 - This useful ACC redirects output intended for the printer port to a
disk file. It is primarily intended for programmers to avoid the need to put
a print to disk option into their code when developing programs. It allows
them to examine the output file rather than waste reams of paper. It will
work with most applications but is really only intended for text output,
you'll get odd results if you send it graphic data! AZIMUTH V1.0 by Neil
Wakeling - Input three of the following:- latitude, azimuth, altitude and
declination and the program calculates the fourth. Intended to be used by
amateur/pro astronomers although it could have other uses eg; for radio
HAMs. D2D - Input any date and you will be given the day of the week on
which it occurs/occured. DICTION by Ray Tufft - A simple German to English
translation program. Input a German word and get its English equivalent.
There is also the facility for adding comments where a word has two or more
meanings. The supplied dictionary is very small but easily added to. THE
FILLER by Remi Vanel - A tool for aiding backups. It 'decides' which of the
selected files would fit onto a floppy disk leaving the minimum of free
space. You can optionally use up all free space by cutting large files and
splitting them between two or more disks. All the calculations are done by
the program. There are some restrictions on this Shareware version. English
and French versions supplied. FLEXI-ARC V3.1a by William Wong - A simple to
use archiver shell which supports up to 5 archiver programs. Does not
include the archivers themselves. MORSE by Ray Tufft - Two programs, a morse
code tutor and a program to help iron out similarities between letters.
Both are geared towards those who wish to pass the Morse part of the Amateur
Radio exam with tests running at the standard 12wpm speed. Both offer three
different 'fingerprints' to accommodate different user styles. PRTODSK by
Jiri Lamac - Redirects output from most GEM based programs to a disk file.
This file can be sent to the printer by double-clicking from the Desktop.
Especially useful if you have a more modern printer at work. Just print
using the appropriate driver then output the disk file from your work's
computer (even if it's a PC!).
UTL.6005 GRAPH V1.49 by Bernard le Tirant - Perhaps the best statistical
analysis program ever written, but don't let that put you off! Graph is is
GEM based spreadsheet with in-built graphing facilities. Everything is
customisable and simple to use. Data can be presented as pie charts, bar
graphs and linear graphs in 11 different styles. The charts are all vector
graphs and can be moved around a blank page and positioned as required. Text
can be added too. Individual graphs can be saved in GEM Metafile format or
the entire page can be printed or saved. Graph works well as a sophisticated
spreadsheet, yet offers much more with its integrated graphing functions.
There's just one catch, (Speedo)GDOS or NVDI must be installed in order to
use the fonts and graphing capabilities although plain text output is
possible from the spreadsheet without these. Program in English. A serious
competitor to K-Spread 4. Shareware at its best. Multi-tasking friendly,
needs at least 1Mb.
UTL.6019 FINDER V1.10 by Holger Weets - An easy to use file finder with a
number of extras. It runs as a PRG or ACC and can perform searches as a
background task when run as an ACC or under a multi-tasking OS. Finder can
locate individual files or ASCII text within them in LZH, ZIP, ARJ and ZOO
archives as well as in regular files. It also finds files on any drive
connected to your system. German docs but very easy to use. LPR V2.0 by
Raiko Nitsche - A print spooler for use with Multi-TOS. It runs in the
background, allowing you to continue working while printing. Jobs are
managed in a print queue which can be viewed, have files removed from it, or
be removed completely. Also includes an adapted version for use on networks.
Requires MiNT or Multi-TOS. PCB-300 by M J Waters - Allows you to load a
circuit board produced by the package PCB Designer and resave it as two
(component side and foil side) 300 dpi IMG files. Particularly useful if you
have access to PCB Designer files but do not own the package. TW TABLE V1.03
by Norbert Heyermeyer - An ACC for use with the word processor, Thats Write.
It allows you to create tables easily using Thats Write's Box&Line font. You
simply supply the text and the program calculates the correct column widths.
Program and docs in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs.
UTL.6020 JP40 by Harun Scheutzow - A DIY hardware project for building an
adaptor which allows Maxon's Junior Prommer (an EPROM burner) to create 16-
bit 44-pin EPROMs (27C1024, 27C2048, 27C4096, 27C8192 devices) as well as
the smaller capacity 27C210 and 27C1002 varieties. The short instructions
are in German but we've done a RUF translation. Diagrams and PCB layouts are
supplied as 300 dpi IMG files. You will also require a software driver such
as Pinatubo (on UTL.5341). M_TUNF V1.0 by David Reitter - Allows you to
'unfreeze' ACCs or programs running in single-tasking mode under MagiC or
MagiCMac. Under normal circumstances only normal multi-tasking programs can
be unfrozen if they crash. German docs but with a RUF translation. BIG BOB
V0.92 by Mark Slagell - A file finder program. It can search all connected
drives very fast. It is unique in that it does not require wildcards to be
entered, just any part of the filename you're looking for. Big Bob can also
search for ASCII text within files. CLOCK IT by Martin Howard - Put it into
your Auto folder and you will be prompted for the time/date every time you
boot up. DSCHK v2.5 by Mark Baines - Displays details on a floppy disk's
format and structure and tests its integrity, reporting any errors found. It
tells you everything you could ever want to know about the selected floppy.
Invaluable tool for determining faults or even obtaining data about damaged
disks prior to attempting recovery. MSB ANSI by Mark Baines - Replacement
system fonts which contain the entire ANSI character set. Particularly
useful for comms enthusiasts designing ANSI pages off-line and for reading
ASCII documents which use special IBM characters for underlining, boxes and
so forth. They can be installed as the default system font using NeoDesk,
Fontkit, GDOS, Warp 9 or NVDI. They also provide a much easier to read font
than the standard Desktop one. MSB ATARI by Mark Baines - As MSB ANSI except
that they contain the full Atari adaptation of the ASCII character set
rather than the ANSI variant. Once again they need to be installed using
NeoDesk, Warp 9, GDOS, Fontkit or NVDI. SEEKxxMS by Mark Baines - Three
programs which let you set the steprate on Drive A or B to 6ms or 3ms
(covers all combinations of these). Invaluable if using slow drives or a
high density drive on TOS versions below 2.06. CLOCK SETTER v3 by Martin
Howard - A clock setter program for use on a PC running Gemulator or a PC
emulator (hardware or software based) running on an ST or Falcon. It is
designed as a stop gap fix for the Millenium Bug when running under
emulation. It is not needed on a "real" Atari. WAY POINTS V1.0 by Mark
Baines - A CPX (for use with XControl on UTL.3879) which shows the distance
between any two Ordnance Survey National Grid References and the magnetic
bearing of the second from the first. SHUTDOWN+ by Thomas Much - A
replacement Shutdown program for use with MagiC. It informs you when it is
safe to switch off your computer (you should never just hit the reset button
when running a multi-tasking OS) and reports back any errors encountered.
This version has a few improvements over the one supplied with MagiC and is
also Multi-TOS compatible.
UTL.6021 SIMM CIRCUIT BOARD by Romeo Rakow - A DIY project to construct the
necessary circuit board for an STFM which allows standard SIMMs to be used
as per the STe. Short doc is in German but we've done a RUF translation. PCB
layout is supplied as printer files for the Epson LQ850, HP Laserjet and NEC
P6 as well as in GEM Metafile, PLT (for Scooter) and IMG (at 300 dpi)
formats. If you're into electronics, this is a neat way to upgrade your
STFM's memory using inexpensive SIMMs. TAR-IMP by Carsten Friehe - A plug in
module for GEMAR v2.31 or later (UTL.5116) which lets you import individual
files from tape archives created using the TAR archiving method (despite the
fact that tar archives do not have an Index file). It supports the GNU-tar,
SINIX-tar and HP-UX-tar variants. Only of use if you are already using
GEMAR. German docs but we've done a RUF translation. TRANCRLF by Erlend
Nagel - Converts Atari/PC, Mac or Unix ASCII files to each other by
subsituting the end of line carriage returns and/or line feeds as necessary
so as to make the text readable on the different machines. Essential if you
also use Macintosh and/or Unix machines at work. TURBO PACKER by Wolfgang
Mayerle - Yet another file packer. It compresses both executable and data
files, giving similar results to Ice Pack and Atomik. No docs but simple to
use. BUBBLEGEM V0.4 by Thomas Much - How often have you found yourself
spending hours (days?) familiarising yourself with an application's
interface only to find you've forgotten what all the icons do, a few weeks
later? Bubblegem displays short text about each icon in a 'speech bubble'
when you right-click over the icon. Programs need to be Bubblegem aware but
simple examples are given so it's not a major job incorporating it into your
own programs. Bubblegem only runs under MagiC, Geneva or Multi-TOS and
should be installed as an auto start application although it can be run from
the Desktop. Several of the newer Shareware programs are already starting to
support Bubblegem.
UTL.6068 S_BALL by Jens Thoms Toerring - A rather unusual screen saver
(generates constantly moving images when computer is idle, so as to prevent
monitor damage). It runs as an ACC and, rather than clearing the existing
screen, it generates bouncing balls all over it. You can set the delay time,
number of balls and speed of the balls but the more balls on screen, the
slower they move. A pleasant change for the usual screen savers. Icludes ST
and TT/Falcon version as well as source code in C and assembler. WRAP MOUSE
V1.61 by Richard Short - A useful program which lets you assign key
functions such as Control or Alternate to the right mouse button. You can
also make the right button simulate a double-click or swap over the
functions of the right and left buttons. The mouse pointer can also wrap
around to the opposite edge when it hits the top, bottom, left or right of
the screen area. Works with standard Atari mice as well as serial mice using
the appropriate custom driver software. All functions controlled by a CPX
for use with Atari's Xcontrol (UTL.3879). ICONS - A colection of 44 IMG
files full of small pictures suitable for use as Desktop icons with TOS 2.06
or replacement Desktops such as NeoDesk and TerraDesk. There are probably
several thousand individual icons contained within these files. You will
need to import the files into an icon editor, grab the appropriate icon
image and paste it into your DESKICON.RSC file before you can use them.
UTL.6069 CENPRINT by Frank Schafer - A GTP program designed for use with
TOS 2.06 or a replacement Desktop such as TerraDesk or NeoDesk. Drop a file
onto it and the data will be sent directly to the printer port, completely
bypassing the operating system. It is primarily designed to handle output
from programs which print to disk as these files are normally very slow to
output using the built-in Show/Print/Cancel function of TOS. DCLICK by
Christian Peppermuller - Lets you install applications to be started by data
files bearing different extensions. You can also decide whether that program
should be started in TOS or GEM mode and pass parameters to it. If you have
lots of installed applications, this is an excellent way to keep your
Desktop/Newdesk INF files down in size. Also, just modify one line in every
INF on your system and the same installed application list will be active in
all resolutions. DOAUTO 2 by Christian Peppermuller - A boot selector
program which lets you set up as many as 30 custom boot up settings. It is
particularly useful as it can automatically run programs from outside the
Auto folder completely transparent to the user and you can leave useful
comments in the configuration files. ACCs can be loaded from the root
directory of any drive, not just C. Also, less memory can be allocated to
the system during boot up in order to improve speed. Your computer's full
memory allocation is restored immediately after booting. ED_E - A basic text
editor intended for editing/creating the config files for Dclick and DoAuto.
FILELINK by Christian Peppermuller - Lets you create aliases. These are
small files which automatically start up the main program. Aliases could be
grouped in folders according to program types, although the "real" program
is often in a completely different location on your hard drive. Performs the
same function as an Alias on the Mac or a Shortcut in Windows 95. TILES - A
collection of 38 images which can be used as Desktop backdrops in TerraDesk,
NeoDesk, No!Desk, Ease, Thing and other replacement Desktops. They can also
be used on the plain GEM Desktop if you have installed Deskpic on UTL.4370.
They are supplied as 16-colour IMG files and are of an impressive standard.
Great for adding an unusual look to your Desktop.
UTL.6071 CODX by Philippe Galmel - Password protect any file with your name
and chosen code. The file then appears garbled to anyone trying to read (or
run) it. Rerun this program and enter the correct code to restore it to its
original state. DTCOOKIE V1.2 by Christoph Zwerschke - Adds international
date and time cookies to the Cookie Jar. These control the keyboard language
and layout and how the date and time are displayed. Their default settings
are taken from non-volatile RAM and can be changed by software. With these
cookies installed, when they are changed, the changes remain active for all
applications. Many dual language applications use these cookies to determine
which language RSC to load. Docs in German but with a RUF translation. DUB'S
PRINTER SPEEDER V1.01 - Claims to speed up printing by up to 50 times.
Similar to iPRN and Fpprint. MSX0 V0.12 by F van Heusden - Does anyone
remember the MSX computer? This is an MSX emulator which runs on any Atari.
It appears to be quite well designed as it features 3 channel music, printer
and RS232 support and a whole lot more. Virtual disk drives can be created
and a few example basic programs are given. Unfortunately there's no
instructions, although you should know what you're doing if you own an MSX.
OBJECT LINKING for GEM APPLICATIONS (OLGA) V1.2 by Thomas Much - Allows
object linking between programs. Put simply, under a multi-tasking OS lets
assume you have the same file open in two applications at the same time.
When you edit it in one application, it is automatically updated in the
other if object linking is active. The benefits are obvious. This version of
OLGA may be run as an ACC or set up in MagiC/Multi-TOS to run only when an
OLGA aware application is active. Includes full programmer's docs (in
English) in ST-Guide (F.4782) format. Also on disk is a program called
OLGAniser which adds OLGA support to existing GEM programs, a debugger and
other support files. Apart from OLGA itself, most of the other files/docs
are in German but we've done a RUF translation. Only runs under Mult-TOS or
MagiC. QLEM V1.45 by Jochan Klockars - A Sinclair QL (sucessor to the ZX
Spectrum) emulator. It includes parallel port and joystick support, can boot
from a disk image and can read Atari floppy disks. However, it does not have
RS232, micro drive, hard drive or sound support. Another program is included
to read QL disks and convert the data on them into legal TOS filenames so
they can be run from the newly created virtual disk file. Like the MSX
emulator, this is an interesting curiosity rather than a full blown
emulator. STAMP VALUES V1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX (for use with Xcontrol on
F.4862) which calculates the minimum stamps required to make up any
specified postage value. You can specify which denominations of stamps you
have available and the data files may be updated when postage rates increase
or stamp denominations change. Highly recommended if you regularly need to
post odd-priced items. DECREAFIX - A bug in TOS can result in a file being
deleted without warning if you attempt to create another of the same name in
the same location. This only happens when running a CLI or a replacement
Desktop (on the GEM Desktop you are warned first!). Just put this program
into the Auto folder to prevent the bug striking again.
UTL.6072 ARDVARK - A rather odd program which swaps over the currently
displayed screen for a previously saved screengrab. Run Ardvark, then press
F1, you instantly think your computer is displaying a different directory
and the mouse pointer has frozen! Low res only, change the supplied PI1 to
suit. CD LIB V1 by Olivier Azeau - When used in conjunction with MetaDOS or
ExtenDOS it allows you to play audio CDs on your CD-ROM drive (do remember
you'll need to use headphones or you won't hear anything!). Type Help to get
a list of commands. The program looks a bit basic at first sight but
includes C source and libraries so that you can include it functions in your
own programs. CODX by Philippe Galmel - Password protect any file with your
name and chosen code. The file then appears garbled to anyone trying to read
(or run) it. Rerun this program and enter the correct code to restore it to
its original state. INSTALL V1.0 by Funship - Allows programmers to supply
their software in a user friendly manner. Install is set up to prompt for
each disk appropriately in the case of multiple disk installations. It can
also install the various components to different locations on your hard
drive as required. It can also uninstall programs. Very easy to set up and
use with English, French and German RSCs. All docs in English. SHUTDOWN
V1.5 by Alexander Barton - A replacement Shutdown program for MagiC, MagiC
PC and MagiCMac. It is configurable from an INF file and allows you to
perform a warm or cold reset of MagiC or a complete shutdown. The shutdown
process can be interrupted and you can specify how individual programs are
shut down (i.e. whether you are prompted to save data or not). DOMAGIC by
Alexander Barton - When used in conjunction with Shutdown, it lets you
restart MagiC from TOS without having to reboot. DO SHUTDOWN by Alexander
Barton - An ACC which activates a Shutdown from MagiC. It automatically
shuts down the system from the ACC menu without having to return to the
Desktop and select Quit from the File menu. G-TOOL TRANSLATION PATCH by
Jared Addington - Patches the German package Graftool so as to translate the
text within the program into English. This patch only works with the
versions dated 04.02.96 and 01.01.97 and should not be used with any other
versions. We've tried it and it works perfectly!
UTL.6094 ROMAN V1.4 by Matthias Jaap - Translates decimal numbers into
Roman numerals. THE PROHIBITOR V1.0 by Lxix Software - A password protection
program. This one is better than most because it sounds off a siren until
the machine is rebooted if an incorrect password is entered. Also, it hides
the password program and file so they cannot be seen on the Desktop.
Finally, it lists the number of failed accesses the next time you
successfully log on. JAY GROUPS v1.0 by Jay Software - Lets you create
symbolic links (aliases) to files on your hard drive. It is then a case of
opening the appropriate group to bring it up in a Desktop window look-alike.
Double-click a file to run it or a folder to open it. A folder inside a
group may have its contents in many different locations on your hard drive)
but they appear as if they are all in the same location. An excellent way to
organise your Desktop. Most useful under a multi-tasking system but does run
under single TOS. Compatible the Jayshell. JAY FORMATTER V2.1 by Jay
Software - Lets you format disks to normal or extended capacities (DD and
HD). You can also change the disk's volume label or simply zero the disk
rather than format it. Lots of other options are also available. On of the
best formatting programs ever. Runs as an ACC or PRG. Multi-TOS compatible.
JAY MSA V1.03 by Jay Soft - A new version of the Magic Shadow Archiver which
copies the entire contents of a disk into a single file. It creates a disk
image and is therefore ideal for use with demos since it preserves odd disk
formats and custom bootsectors. This version adds the ability to browse
directories in MSA files and extract individual files rather than an entire
disk. File compression is also supported. Jay MSA runs in a window and is
therefore ideally suited for use with Multi-TOS and Magic, although it will
run under TOS. DOUBLE 2 by Jay Software - Gives a double-height screen on
any ST or STE. It runs in medium or high res, giving a resolution of 640x400
or 640 x 800 respectively. Display can be scrolled or displayed in interlace
mode (this second option only works on the STE). JAYSHELL by Jay Software -
A program launcher with a difference. It works as an extension to the
Install Application feature of the GEM Desktop, allowing you to start up
files by double-clicking from the Desktop. It scores in that you can have
multiple extension associated with each application and you can specify how
the program is to be started and pass parameters to it. ELIZA V1.2 by
Matthias Jaap - An up to date version of the old computer psychiatrist
program. This one is presented in an attractive GEM shell and claims to use
artificial intelligence. Tell it your problems and you may just get a
rational solution, but then again.... ENHANCED CHARACTER INTERPRETER V1.4 by
Matthias Jaap - Enter any abbreviation or word and ECI gives a computer
oriented translation eg; PRINT gives Pixel Random Integrated Non-Maskable
Task! Click the translate button again and get another "translation" of the
same word. More for fun than anything else but could have its uses.
UTL.6100 CONFIG SL V2.2 by David Cottenceau - Acts as a sort of boot
manager for SL as it lets you create several CALAMUS.SET files (each of
which may have different modules active) and swap between them. It also
links in to CFN View and Pack CDK to let you view fonts or archive fonts or
documents, assuming you have these packages installed on your system.
Unfortunately program and docs are in French. DOM'S VIEWER V1.00 by
Dominique Bereziat - A text file viewer which displays files in a GEM
window. It also displays the contents of binary files in hexadecimal. It is
ideally suited for use on multi-tasking systems but also works on single
TOS. In both cases it can be installed as the default file viewer. If you
insert specific codes into your text files, they will be displayed using
bold, italic, underlined or coloured text as specified. Docs and program in
French, but easy enough to figure out. AUTOMORE by Thomas Binder - An Auto
folder management tool. It lets you specify which Auto folder to run (you
can have several located anywhere on your hard drive). You can also specify
a pause between the running of some/all Auto programs and whether or not the
screen should be cleared between programs. Unfortunately the docs are in
German but we've done a RUF translation. EXTENDED PALLETE DRIVER V1.0 by
Robert Birmingham - Replacement driver for JRI 4096 colour graphic card.
This card allows the use of 4096 colours on an ST. The only problem was that
many programs were unaware of the larger palette. This driver fixes the
problem. Originally written for use with Prism Paint, it patches the system
for use with all well-behaved GEM programs running on the JRI card. ALBERTT
by J Craswell - An improved ISAC driver for the AlberTT (a graphic card for
the TT) which supports 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions. POP2CODES
by Chris Brookes - Generates level codes for the game Populous II so you can
play the levels in any order. TAB PLOT V2.9 by Robert Best - Converts a
table in numerical format (as exported by a spreadsheet for instance) into
an XY, RPhi, XYZ or RPhiZ plot. It performs automatic scaling, spline
interpolation, curve fitting, hidden surface, contour plot and plot sizing
as required. Well documented but complete gobbledegook unless you understand
advanced mathematics.
UTL.6105 AV TEST V1.1 by Alexander Barton - Searches for the active AV
server in your system and displays a list of its capabilities (some AV
servers are more functional than others) along with the AES version number.
Of no use unless you are running a replacement Desktop (eg; Thing) which is
AV compatible. AV SERVER V1.1 by Alexander Barton - An AV server for use
with MagiC and MagXDesk. MagiC versions prior to v5 did not incorporate AV
support and v5 only implements it partially. This program adds full AV
support to MagXDesk. It is only required if you are using MagiC with
MagXDesk, it is not needed if you are using Ease as your replacement
Desktop. RENAMER v1.0 by Lxix Software - Lets you rename any file using
lower case or "illegal" ASCII characters. FILECALL v1.0 by Lxix Software -
Brings up the file selector from the Desktop. It can be useful when Freedom
and other replacement file selectors are installed as they offer easy access
to many Desktop functions. LIFT OFF by Lxix Software - A simple to use
program launcher for use under single TOS. Once set up, just click the name
of a program from its menu to run that program, no matter where it is on
your hard drive. MAGIC IDE PATCH V2.1 by Daniel Hedberg - Forces MagiC to
bypass the check for IDE drives on an ST fitted with the H&N Multiboard
(probably works with the IDEal board from TUS too). MAXMOVE V1.0 by John
Curtis - An Auto folder program which lets you display random backdrops
(with Desktop replacements such as Ease, Thing and NeoDesk) and automate
certain functions such as the copying of files to a ramdisk or
moving/renaming files. RAM LEAK - Monitors RAM usage to check for RAM
leakage and seals off any leaks found. RAM HOG - Lets you set aside a
predetermined amount of RAM for use by programs which usually grab all
available memory so they are restricted to using the specified amount of
RAM. RAM Leak and RAM Hog are really designed for use on multi-tasking
systems and come with no docs. RAM SCAN by ELF Software - Displays a map of
RAM usage. Moving the mouse over the graph displays the name of the
application occupying that memory space. Only runs if Geneva is installed.
RESOURCE MASTER V2.11E by Armin Diedering - An excellent resource file
editor which can handle the DESKICON.RSC files used by TOS 2.06 and above as
(including colour icons for TOS 4) well as regular RSC files. Very well
documented in ST-Guide (UTL.5557) format. Supported in the UK by
InterActive.
UTL.6134 ATORIC v0.3 by Christian Peppermueller - An Oric 1/Oric Atmos
emulator. It is a near perfect emulation of this once popular 8-bit micro
dating back to about 1983-85, with the exception that there is no easy way
to port Oric programs across from the original tapes. Runs at about 12% of
the speed of a real Oric on an 8MHZ ST. Docs in English and German. SGSCAN
v1.1a by Dominique Bereziat - A tool for use with ST-Guide (UTL.5557) and
the HCP and STool utilities. It lets you create an ST-Guide hypertext file
of the directory structure of any drive connected to your system. You can
browse through the hypertext like real directories and even launch programs
from it! Documented in English and French. LMS LAUNCHER II V0.52 by John
Curtis - A GEM based program launcher. You may have as many items on your
menu as required and each program is no more than a mouse click away. TTPs
can have parameters passed to them automatically and the program can sport a
3D interface when running in 16 or more colours. Grow/shrink dialogs are
also supported. When running on a multi-tasking OS, launched programs will
automatically become the selected application, putting LMS II into the
background. A default path to ST-Guide can also be set up for programs which
have help files in STG format. MENU3D by Manfred Lippert - Gives a 3D look
to all Desktop menu lines and sub-menu entries. Only works under MagiC in
resolutions with 16 or more colours. POPFOLD by Holger Weets - Adds
heirachical popup menus to Jinnee and other replacement Desktops. When you
position the mouse over a folder, a window pops up showing the folder's
contents and allows you to copy files directly into sub-folders without
having to open them directly from the Desktop. This feature is already
present in Ease v5. VIDIEDIT by Mauricio Ricaldi - When you save an
animation captured by HiSoft's VideoMaster, you can set up a default COM
file which determines how your animation should be replayed (7 different
options are supported). It is normally necessary to edit the COM file
manually using a word processor. This program lets you set up the desired
display mode and offset positions quickly and easily with a couple of mouse
clicks and saves your settings in an appropriate command file. C64 COPY by
Thomas Grube - The software necessary to transfer files from a Commodore 64
to an ST. This could be useful for transferring text for printing, or for
porting programs across with the intention of running them on the ST under
emulation. You will need a floppy drive connected to your C64 as tapes are
not supported. Transfers can take place in either direction. The cable used
for connecting the two computers can be obtained from the author at low
cost. Program and docs in English, German and Swedish. PROBE HOUSE WORLD
CLOCK V2.0 by William Wong - A PRG or ACC (you choose) which displays a
clock in a GEM window. What makes this clock unique is that it displays both
local time and that of another city elsewhere in the world. Around 50
different cities have their data included so all time zones are covered.
After saving your configuration, the dual time clock will always operate for
the two cities selected, although this can be changed at any time. Also has
an alarm clock with 8 different sounds and an optional user defined message.
SHARP ARCHIVES V1.1.1 by R Tracht - Allows you to transfer data between the
Atari and most Sharp pocket computers (PC-1245, 1251, 1350, 1401, 1402,
1403, 1450). It supports the transfer of both programs and data, making it
an ideal development tool. The suggested use is for developing Sharp Basic
programs on the Atari and porting them back. Another use is of course for
porting ASCII text in both directions. A special cable is required in order
to transfer via the parallel port. Full instruction on the construction of
the cable are included but you'll need to be handy with a soldering iron.
GEM based and easy to use, but program and docs are in German, although
we've done a RUF translation. T-CON V1.1 by Holger Weets - Sends the output
of a TOS or TTP application to a GEM window under Multi-TOS. Performs a
similar function to TOSWIN. Docs in German but you don't really need them.
SWITCH 3D by Rolf Kotzian - When running MagiC or MagiCMac, it is assumed
that you want the 3D look on your Desktop and within applications when
running in 16 or more colours. This program lets you switch the feature off.
Only of use if you are running MagiC. WINDOW COMMANDER UPDATE - A minor
update to this program which handles the windowed dialogs of later MagiC
versions correctly. It also incorporates support for John McLoud's STiC
iconify server (UTL.5760). This is not a standalone package and must be used
in conjunction with WINCOM on UTL.5115. A320 AIRBUS FIX by Jason Bullough -
Being of US origin, this game insists on running at 60Hz. This is fine on
most monitors but some TVs don't sync at 60Hz. This program patches the game
to make it run at 50Hz for compatibility with all monitors/TVs.
UTL.6135 ACCESSORIES V2.0 by Mickael Cousin - An Auto folder program which
lets you load up your ACCs from any location on your hard drive (even from
inside a folder). Docs in English and French. MULTISTRIP V0.2 by Thomas
KÜnneth - A "task manager" for GEM programs. It looks like the taskbar in
Windows 95 and behaves similarly, allowing you to select any currently
running task by clicking its button. It also features a Caps Lock indicator
and clock as well as pop-up menus which let you perform various actions on
the selected task. Only runs if N.AES or MagiC are installed. SEABAER - Logs
activity under MagiC. It notes what time you started up MagiC and what time
your session was terminated. There's masses of other information such as
whether the session was terminated by a crash, shutdown or resolution change
and how long your sessions have lasted during the past day, month or year.
Lots of other statistics are also available. ST_LC33 by Michäl MÖller -
Circuit diagrams (in IMG format) and text describing how to link up a Sharp
LM641542 LCD display and use it as a monochrome monitor. This is an
electronics project which is not suited to amateurs. Also, it's in German
and our RUF translation leaves a lot to be desired!
UTL.6136 CURRENCY CONVERTER V1.0 by Mario Becroft - Converts between the
currencies of UK, USA, Germany, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, France,
Italy, Spain, Sweden, Japan, Hong Kong, Holland and Portugal. Other
currencies can be added. Sensible (current) conversion rates are given and
these can be altered to the exact exchange rate. The country name, currency
name, currency symbol and exchange rate are all displayed. Enter the amount
in one currency and click the convert button to display its value in any
other currency. You can even subtract VAT (or the appropriate sales tax)
from the value of any transaction provided you know the current rate for
that country. An invaluable piece of Shareware. ELF ARC V1.5 - An easy to
use archiver shell. Unlike most other archiver shells, this one includes a
built-in archiver. It lets you create archives, view their contents (and
read text files within them) or extract their contents. You can also create
self-extracting archives. Uses the LHA compression method. HP STUDIO V1.0 by
Aurelien Diot - Described as "the Atari-HP-48 Interface", this package
allows you to link up your Atari to a Hewlett Packard HP-48G/48GX handheld
organiser. You can create/edit graphics, text and fonts or even write your
own assembler programs for the HP-48 on your Atari. Data can then be
transmitted back to the handheld device.
UTL.6151 CALEN_98 by John Godbey - A 1998 calendar for Papyrus users.
Neatly laid out, it runs from Nov 1997 to Dec 1998. You can of course edit
the dates for later years. Please note that this file requires Papyrus 4.35
or newer. Use it as is or amend to suit. PAPYRUS FONTS by John Godbey -
Early versions of Papyrus were supplied along with a CD containing 500 True
Type fonts. The only problem was that no printed examples of the fonts were
given. This collection of Papyrus documents allows you to print out examples
of the fonts from the CD. It does not contain examples of all 500 fonts, but
does feature at least one example (usually more) from each font family.
Obviously it is only of use if you already own Papyrus and the 500 Fonts CD.
Please note this file requires Papyrus v4.35 or later. LED CLOCK v6.0 by
Eric Hall - Displays a clock face and shows the seconds as they tick away. A
digital display is shown in the center. The clock window is resizable. Only
really useful in a multi-tasking environment where it goes to sleep when its
window is not selected. GNU MAKEINFO - Many Unix-inspired applications and
some programming manuals are supplied in TEX format. This converts them into
user-friendly ST-Guide files. Not an easy program to use but well worth the
effort. MDESK V0.60 by Magnus Kollberg - A "virtual" Desktop for MagiC
users. It lets you move windows (program windows, directory windows, it
doesn't matter) off the edge of the physical screen to make more space on
the Desktop. Just move them back again when you need them. MICROICONS -
Three replacement DESKICON.RSC files for TOS 2.06 which let you use smaller
than standard icons on the Desktop. N.AES.RSC - English language RSC files
for use with N.AES. There's also a sample N_AES.CNF file which is commented
in English. S_TIDYUP by Swampdog - A useful utility which lets you shut down
after a predetermined time, force an invisible mouse pointer to re-appear,
turn off the flashing TOS cursor, enable/disable screenwrap etc. Most useful
under a multi-tasking OS. UKEX V4.5 by Ulf Ronald Andersson - Allows you to
customise your keyboard layout. Most useful if you have a keyboard of a
different nationality and want to use your "usual" keyboard layout. As well
as merely designating which letter is activated by which key, UKEX also
allows extra characters to be accessed by using the SHIFT, ALT, SHIFT+ALT
and CAPSLOCK keys.
UTL.6153 ACCFOLDR V1.13 by Dave Murphy - Lets you load all your ACCs from a
folder rather than the root directory of your boot drive. The folder must be
on your boot drive but can have any name you wish and be nested if required.
Unlike PANTHER, this redirect utility does only redirects during boot up or
res change and does not affect copying or other operations. REDRAW by Eric
Hall - An ACC which, when selected, forces an entire redraw of the Desktop
and all open windows. Most Useful on a multi-tasking OS, performs the same
purpose as Ease's Tidy Up option. SM195DRV V0.9 by Ralf Zimmerman - Driver
which allows you to make full use of extended resolutions possible on the
Atari SM195 large screen monitor with the Viking card installed. Apparently
Atari's driver did not work with 68030 CPUs. Probably only of use to
TT/PAK030 owners. VDESK V0.99 by Jo Even Skarstein - Performs the same
virtual Desktop functions as MDESK (on UTL.6151 ) but this version only runs
if N.AES is installed. XHDI TOOL V1.0 by Robert Weir - Some useful tools for
those using XHDI compatible hard disk drivers such as HDDriver and CBHD. It
gives info on any selected device, lets you eject or reject removable media,
lock/unlock devices, park/unpark devices and reserve/free devices. A bit
cryptic to use but it's a start. TASKBAR V1.2.0 by Jo Even Skarstein - A
Windows 95 style Taskbar like Multistrip on UTL.6135, except this one only
runs with N.AES. When used with Thomas Much's Start Me Up on UTL.5760 it
gives a combined Taskbar and Start menu just like the dreaded Windows 95!
ASCII VIEW V3.75 by David Seberg - An alternative to the Desktop's "Show"
facility. As well as letting you scroll up and down, it also has a powerful
search engine which remembers recent searches, supports keyboard shortcuts,
has two scroll speeds, line/page up/down and more. HEXAID V1 - The editor
program needed for creating the objects which are used by a shell program to
run role-playing games. The games in question are collectively known as
"Untramieled Adventures" and the first of these, Anoraks Of Doom, is on
GAM.6154C & GAM.6145C. These are not mere text adventures but also make use
of graphics and sound to full effect. Hexaid allows you to create your own
Untramieled Adventures without requiring a knowledge of programming. The
docs are extensive, running to over 20 A4 pages, more than enough to get you
started. You can use the PRG from any existing Untramieled Adventure as the
runner program for your own creation. Needs 1 Mb and a hard drive (or two
floppies), Colour only. HEXTOOLS V2 - Each graphic in Untramieled Adventures
requires 16 representations at different sizes and in different positions.
These must be created using any graphics package which saves in PC1 format.
Hextools lets you create the necessary files from these PC1s (several
example files are supplied, text descriptions of their coordinates and the
background scenery files. To sum up, Hexaid handles the adventure structure
and Hextools manipulates and compresses the graphics, ready for
incorporation into your adventure. Needs 1Mb, Colour only.
UTL.6179 THE ULTIMATE DIY UPGRADE KIT #1 - If you're handy with a soldering
iron, this disk is for you. It allows you perform upgrades which are also
available commercially, as well as a handful which have been around for
years but never gained the recognition they deserve. Please note you
undertake these projects at your own risk and we accept no responsibility
for any damage, regardless of how it is caused. 16MHZ ST - The 68000 CPU in
most STs is perfectly capable of running at 16Mhz. A circuit diagram shows
how to achieve this simple modification. Pity the text is in Dutch! CHIPSZS2
- Three labelled photographs (in IMG format) of the hard drive controller in
a Mega ST, the ST to SCSI host adaptor in a Megafile 44 and the Vortex host
adaptor. RS-232-2 - Full instructions and diagrams on how to add a second
serial port to your ST. SONY-144 - A detailed text file and diagram (in IMG
format) showing how to adapt a Sony MPF 520 drive to work with an ST. Like
so many HD drives intended for use on PCs, some basic modifications are
necessary. This document applies equally well to many other types of drive.
Please note the drive will function as a 720K drive, not a 1.44Mb. TOS104UP
-Instructions on how to fit a TOS 1.4 upgrade to an STFM. It includes
software to grab the TOS 1.4 ROM image (yes you need to have access to a TOS
1.4 machine) and split it into odd and even bytes for blowing into EPROMS.
The instructions are excellent but the drawbacks are that you need access to
a TOS 1.4 machine and an EPROM blower. 144_CTRL -Explains how to build the
necessary electronics needed to use a HD drive (as a 1.44Mb device rather
than as a 720K device) on an ST. Provided you have the required disk drive
controller chip, the costs are minimal and you can fit HD drives both
internally and externally. 68901 - Explains a little about how the multi-
functional peripheral chip works, along with a few suggestions on how it
could be utilised in other ways. AUDIO - Did you know that every ST has a
standard audio output signal? Taking it out of the ST in such a manner as to
channel sound directly to external speakers or hi-fi equipment is easier
than you would think! FPU6881 -Instructions on how to fit a 68881 co-
processor to an ST. Be warned, this document is more technical than most.
IBMDRIVE - Gives a wiring diagram and brief instruction on how to transfer
data from PC 5.25" drives to ST disks. You need to have a PC with a floppy
disk controller which supports 4 devices in order to use this method.
MONITOR - Explains how to wire up a cable connecting your ST to a scart plug
for use with TVs and monitors which have a scart input. MONSWITCH - A
detailed document explaining how to wire a switchbox, which lets you switch
between mono and colour resolutions when using a multi-sync monitor. It has
been tested on a NEC MultiSync 3D and Commodore 1960 but might work with
other makes/models. NECII - Another document explaining how to build a
cable/switchbox for using an NEC monitor to an ST. This time it's for the
NEC MultiSync II and gives the necessary pin connections for both the ST and
Mega ST. SM124 - A circuit diagram (in IMG format) for the Atari SM124
monochrome monitor. Could come in handy if your monitor blows up like mine
did a few years ago! SONY - Well documented explanation of how to connect an
ST to a Sony XBR monitor. Apparently Sony monitors use different voltage
levels from other RGB monitors and this gives details on how to harmonise
the levels between the ST and monitor. TOS206UP - A well written document
explaining how to build a decoder board for taking TOS 2.06 chips (it's not
a plug-in job like TOS 1.4) and everything you need to know about how it
works. Unlike other upgrades, this one does not feature switchable TOS
versions or need software to kick in TOS 2.06, it runs from boot up.
Obviously you'll have to buy the TOS 2.06 upgrade chips, this just explains
how to fit them.
UTL.6180 THE ULTIMATE DIY UPGRADE KIT #2 - Six more DIY projects for anyone
who is handy with a soldering iron and has a basic knowledge of electronics.
Once again, we accept no responsibility for any damage caused to your
machine by use (or misuse) of the information on this disk. CARTRDG - The
ST's cartridge port is a read only device, you can load previously installed
data from a cartridge but you cannot write to a cartridge or any device
connected to the cartridge port. This project allows you to upgrade the
cartridge port to read/write status. As well as a bit of soldering, you also
need to burn information into a PAL device and adapt your own programs to
write to the port (example assembler source supplied). This is a highly
ambitious project but a variant of it was used to build a 4Mb "RAM disk"
module (which retained its contents even after power down) some years back
and it could be put to other uses. SIMM - Explains how to build a PCB which
will allow SIMMs to be used to upgrade the memory of pre-STE machines. The
board allows you to have 1Mb, 2Mb, 2.5Mb or 4Mb of RAM including what is
already fitted in your ST. The PCB design is in Scooter format. The demo
version of Scooter on DEM.6003M will let you view it and print it out.
25MGUPGD - Details how to upgrade an ST to 2.5 Mb. It does not involve the
use of a PCB. You merely use the higher capacity 1 megabit chips in the
second memory bank (removing the 0.5Mb of chips already there if it's a
1040) and wiring up the "extra legs" of the larger devices appropriately in
order to address the larger capacity devices. MEGAFL44 - Explains how to
install a second hard drive inside the case of an Atari Megafile 44. It's
not merely a case of fitting it, some settings also need changed so that the
new device is recognised. SCSIHOST - Details how to modify the built-in host
adaptor on a Stacy or Mega STE so that it can handle two hard drives. A very
simple modification in comparison to some of the other projects on this
disk. SH404 - How to add a second drive to an SH204 drive without requiring
second controller. This was written before the days of SCSI through ports
and involves configuring the second drive as logical unit 1, something you
never hear of nowadays. If you do have an old SH204, this might well be the
cheap way to add a second (much larger) drive to your system.
UTL.6181 EXECUTE by Mikael Lundqvist - Lets you run other tasks in parallel
with the CLI on a multi-tasking OS such as MagiC, Geneva or Multi-TOS. You
can also search for programs and files. FAKEMINT V1.0 by Guido Flohr - Many
programs are compliled with GNU C using the MintLib library files to ensure
compatibility with MiNT. However, many of these programs do not actually use
any of the features present in MiNT. Others use features which are also
present in Geneva and MagiC. Such programs check to see if MiNT is running,
if not they exit. This program installs a cookie which makes programs think
that MiNT is running. It allows most MiNT programs to run on other multi-
tasking OSs and perhaps some may even work under TOS. Please note FAKEMINT
does not actually install any of MiNT's features, it just fools the system
into thinking MiNT is present. Consequently, programs which do use MiNT
specific features will crash your system! GEM LOAD V1.5 by Markus Pristovsek
- Displays the system workload graphically. It is indicative of how
processor-intensive programs are, though its information is for the system
as a whole rather than for individual programs. Most useful with a multi-
tasking OS, but also runs as an ACC under TOS. GENEVA 005 UPGRADE PATCH -
Patches v004 of Gribnif's Geneva multi-tasking OS to v005. This version
makes Geneva compatible with the AV protocol, supports the launching of NPG
modules, works much faster with MiNT and has about 40-50 other
improvements/fixes. Please note you require original Geneva v004 master
disks in order to perform this upgrade. If you have an earlier version of
Geneva you will need the patch on UTL.4411 to bring it up to v003 and the
patch on UTL.5485 to bring it up to v004. If you don't already have Geneva,
this program is of no use to you.
UTL.6182 GENEVA 006A UPGRADE PATCH - Patches v005 of Gribnif's Geneva multi-
tasking OS to v006. This upgrade mainly consists of bug fixes to v005,
though there are a few improved features. Please note you require original
Geneva v005 master disks in order to perform this upgrade. If you have an
earlier version of Geneva you will need the patch on UTL.4411 to bring it up
to v003, the patch on UTL.5485 to bring it up to v004 and the patch on
UTL.6180 to bring it up to v005. If you don't already have Geneva, this
program is of no use to you. GNVA6FIX - The original upgrade patch from v005
to v006 (not the one on this disk) was bugged and caused the system to
become unstable in certain circumstances. This patch fixes the problem. If
you are already using the 006A upgrade (on this disk) you do not need this
patch. WIN95FIX V0.04 by David de Ridder - If you copy files from a PC
running Windows 95 onto a floppy disk, the disk often appears to be messed
up (even Atari programs on the disk appear to be damaged) when you try to
read it on your Atari. This is caused by the VFAT system used by Windows 95
which handles long filenames on DOS formatted floppy disks. It writes
illegal (to TOS at least) filenames with illegal file sizes. This program
deletes these files and allows your Atari to access the data on the disk
without further hindrance. ICONS - Almost 150 icons for use with the THING
replacement Desktop on UTL.5102. As well as regular icons, miniature
versions are also included. Many of these icons are for newer applications
and do not appear in earlier icon collections. Although intended for use
with THING, they can also be used with TOS v2.06 or later in place of the
supplied DESKICON.RSC file or as additions to it if you have an RSC editor
such as Interface.
UTL.6183 TTF-GDOS V0.1 by Trevor Blight - The biggest problem with GDOS
versions prior to SpeedoGDOS was a distinct lack of fonts. This was further
compounded by the fact that separate font files had to be created for each
point size required. The result was that you were stuck with the limited
range of styles and point sizes available in PD or you had to create your
own. Short of purchasing Speedo, TTF-GDOS solves all of the above problems
and more. It lets you use True Type fonts (we have over 400 of them in the
FONTS section of the catalogue) within your GDOS based applications at any
size from 7pt to 38pt. As well as being faster than Atari's GDOS, it can use
Motorola type TTF fonts as well as Intel ones, swap printer drivers from
within an application and load drivers from any location, not just the
GEMSYS directory. If that's not enough, you save disk space too as TTF fonts
take up less disk space than their GDOS equivalents. This disk is an
essential purchase if you are still using GDOS v1.11. TTF-GDOS is not an
upgrade to Speedo or NVDI 3/4. It still uses bitmapped fonts rather than
their vector equivalents. Please note it does not include any printer
drivers, so you will need to use the ones supplied with your original GDOS
distribution or those available on UTL.5963. Most GDOS based programs work
well with TTF-GDOS but some (including Timeworks) do not. Trial and error is
the watchword here. Includes a selection of fonts and several support
programs. A very well concieved and extensively documented product.
UTL.6184 THE ATARI COMPENDIUM ST-GUIDE HYPERTEXT by JaySoft - An ST-Guide
front end to the popular Atari Compendium CD-ROM. The Atari Compendium has
its index presented in HTML format ordinarily, but this package offers the
now standard ST-Guide as an alternative front end. Please note this disk is
of no use to you unless you own a copy of the Atari Compendium CD-ROM. Also,
it needs to be run from a hard drive and requires at least 2Mb of RAM.
UTL.6185 ICFS.CPX V1.13 by John McLoud - A CPX for use with Xcontrol on
UTL.3879. It gives you control over a number of user-customisable settings
available with Dirk Haun's Iconify File Server. When working with iconified
windows, it lets you specify the start corner (usually bottom left),
direction (stack horizontally or vertically), icon size, distance between
icons and more. Please note this CPX is of no use without the corresponding
Auto folder program from Dirk Haun's ICFS package (on UTL.5163). INTERACTIVE
ORDER FORM GENERATOR V1.2.0 by Matthew Bacon - A nice simple to use program
which helps automate the registration of Shareware titles supported by Joe
Connor's InterActive scheme. Type in your name and address, then select your
computer type, OS and drive type from a pop-up menu. It's then a case of
selecting the items you require by clicking them. IOFG automatically works
out the total purchase price and brings up a form with all the relevant
details which can be saved to disk or printed out. PARALINK 2000 by Paul
Finch and Thomas Haines - An excellent program which allows you to connect
two Ataris, two PCs or an Atari and a PC together for the purposes of
transferring data. Although slower than copying files from one location to
another on a hard drive, this method is at least twenty times faster than
using a null modem to transfer the data at maximum speed on a TT or Falcon!
It works by connecting the two machines using the parallel (printer) ports.
All you need is a bi-directional (this is very important) male to male
parallel lead which must be modified by swapping over two wires. It is also
necessary if using a PC that you set it up for bi-directional communication,
otherwise you will only be able to send from the PC, not receive on it. Both
Atari and PC versions of the software are included. LACESCAN V3.5 by Ulf
Ronald Andersson - An impressive DIY upgrade which increases the resolution
of your monitor.Please note, we accept no responsibility for any damage
caused to your machine by use (or misuse) of the information in this
package. LaceScan increases the resolution by actually putting more pixels
onto the screen. It does this by removing the border around the normal
screen area. The result is a 20% increase in physical screen area. The
hardware modification (which is necessary for screen border removal) is not
compatible with the STe, but LaceScan can still be useful on an STe, read
on....An earlier mod called OVERSCAN achieved the same purpose as LaceScan
for monochrome monitors but this package also works on colour monitors and
includes support for virtual screens (where the screen area is larger than
that physically displayed on the monitor). This feature allows you to
emulate TT medium and TT high resolutions, you can even emulate ST high res
on a colour monitor and ST medium/low on a mono monitor, as well as set up
your own custom screen sizes.The virtual screen resolutions will work on any
ST (including the STe) without the need for the hardware modification.
LaceScan is very well documented (in English) and includes a circuit diagram
detailing the modification as well as the necessary software to take
advantage of the new screen resolutions. It works on any ST but there may be
some problems with TOS versions below 1.4. Compatible with TOS, MagiC, MiNT,
NAES, Geneva, Multi-TOS and NVDI. An impressive Shareware release.
UTL.6186 & UTL.6187 ENGLISH <==> GERMAN by Ralf Zimmerman - How would you
like the power of a pocket translator on your Atari? OK, slight exaggeration
but this package is the closest yet. It is supplied as ST-Guide (ST-Guide
Lite included on disk) files which include several thousand English and
German words. It is organised logically and offers translations in both
directions. If you need to translate an entire ASCII text, Ruftrade
(UTL.5003) will perform the task faster and save the result to disk. What
this package does is let you look up individual words in either language and
(unless you search the whole document) is much faster than using a pocket
dictionary. It's slower than Ruftrade but much more accurate due to its
larger vocabulary. I see it as an invaluable companion to Ruftrade for
translating the words that package stumbles on. ENGLISH <==>GERMAN must have
taken many months to compile and is an invaluable addition to everyone's
collection. Needs 1Mb and a hard drive.
UTL.6192 CC10F - French docs,RSC and help files for Currency Converter on
UTL.6136. ATARI ENVIRONMENT MANAGER V1.00 by Alexandre Very - A boot manager
program for multi-tasking systems. It lets you specify which Auto folder
programs, ACCs and CPXs are to be loaded for the current session. If Xboot
is currently installed in your system, its configuration files are converted
for use with AEM. One of the better boot managers. Works with Multi-TOS,
Geneva and MagiC. All docs in French. THE DISKZINE CONSTRUCTION KIT by Tony
Greenwood - Now there's nothing to stop you making your own disk mag. This
kit is based on an early version of the popular ST+ diskzine and is so easy
to use, it hardly has any documentation! You can have up to 9 intro screens
(or none at all), use your own menu screen, your own Help screen your own
info bar and even position text anywhere on the menu screen. Sixteen
different fonts are supplied and these may be mixed as often as you wish
within articles. Features include built-in search and print, ability to use
packed text files, various types of chip music, support for pictures within
articles and a built-in screen saver! A very well thought out release.
Colour only. DEC_KEY - A DIY project which explains how to connect a LK201
keyboard (as used in all modern DEC terminals and workstations) to an ST
using the serial or Midi port. If using the serial port, a special lead
needs to be made up, but no modification of the ST is needed. If using Midi,
a fair bit of modification to the electronics inside your ST is required.
The DEC keyboards are almost identical in layout to the ST keyboard, but
much more responsive for typing. The necessary software is supplied to drive
the keyboard from the appropriate port. Please note, we accept no
responsibility for any damage caused to your machine by use (or misuse) of
the information in this package. MEMFILE 3.0 by Gribnif Software - Allows
you to view (ROM & RAM) and edit (RAM) memory locations as well as disk
sectors and files. Runs as an ACC, allowing it to be called up from within
other programs. Be careful, editing RAM contents is NOT advised as it can
very easily crash your computer! SENTINEL v1.0 by Karl Ashton - A password
protection system for MagiC users. It runs before the desktop and asks you
to log in. Get the password wrong three times and your machine locks up. As
well as locking out unwanted "guests", Sentinel also logs all access
attempts so you know when someone tried to access your computer and what
their attempted password was!
UTL.6193 HDD_DMN by MC Soft - Yet another attempt to connect an Atari to a
PC using the parallel port, but this one is very different. As well as
allowing file transfers to and from the PC (can't transfer to the PC unless
your PC has a bi-directional parallel port), it also lets you run DOS
programs on an ST, gives access to networked drives and supports all PC
models from the '286 upwards. PC drives are seen as Atari drives and you can
load or save data directly to/from them as if they were connected to your
Atari. Both Atari and PC software is included on the disk along with details
of how to make up the required lead to connect the two machines. If you
already use Parallel Copy (UTL.5571) or Paralink 2000 (UTL.6185), the lead
from that can be used. Although not lightning fast, transfer speeds are up
to 20 times that which can be achieved using a null modem cable. Registered
users can print directly to the PC's printer and automatically synchronise
their clock to the PCs! BAR V0.02 by Peter Rottengatter - A button bar for
use with Multi-TOS, Geneva or Magic. It displays a row of program names
horizontally. Just press the appropriate button to launch that program.
Sounds a bit basic, but it's really quite neat. It's a bit like the Windows
95 task bar, except that its the programs of your choice which are listed,
not active running tasks. You can set the font, font size, font colour, text
to be displayed and even pass parameters to the program. Obviously you must
first set up the INF file to indicate which program names are to be included
and of course specify the path to the appropriate programs. VFAT by Petr
Stehlik - Allows you to copy files with long filenames from Windows 95 hard
drive partitions to Minix partitions. Its primary use would be to transfer
files from a removable media cartridge to your Minix partition. You would of
course need to have BIGDOS or HD Driver 7 installed in your system in order
to read the PC formatted cartridge in the first place. VFAT_UTI by Petr
Stehlik -Displays a directory listing of the contents of a Windows 95 floppy
disk or hard drive cartridge, showing the long filenames correctly. SOFT
MULTI-RESOLUTION V2 by Jens Heitmann - A colour emulator for use on
monochrome monitors. It lets you display medium and low resolutions on a
high res monitor. Needless to say, the colours are represented as varying
dither patterns and there is a slowdown with some games. However, this is an
ideal solution if you own a mono monitor but have a small number of colour
programs. Please note, it will not work with commercial games which execute
directly from the bootsector.
UTL.6254 AUTOVIEW by Tony Greenwood - Allows you to automatically play
CyberPaint SEQ files and a whole lot more besides. The files can be packed
with a range of packer programs, but ensure you use Ice Pack if it is to be
used on a Falcon. As well as playing the animation, you can also have chip
music (19 different types are supported) or sampled sound (in WAV format)
playing alongside the SEQ, ideal for creating your own intros. Falcon's
don't support the chip music and pre-STe machines don't support the sampled
sound, but the program lets you set up your intro to play the correct type
of music on any machine. It can even be installed as an application, so you
can double-click an SEQ file to play it.Colour Only. PACIDISK V1.0 by Mr
Roast Chicken - When running the Pacifist (F.6049) or Nostalgia (F.6160)
Atari emulators on the PC and Mac respectively, you cannot read ST disks
directly. They must first be converted to .ST disk images. So what happens
if you forget to keep a copy of the original disk and later want to use it
on an Atari? This program lets you restore the .ST file onto a real Atari
disk. FIGLET V2.1.1 by Eero Tamminen -Have you ever seen examples of logos,
3D text and jazzy messages created from nothing more than plain ASCII
characters? They are probably most common in email signature files but
infrequently appear elsewhere. Lets blow away the myth, they are not
laboriously created by hand, they are generated automatically using a
program called FIGLET. Finally we have an Atari version of FIGLET and a
collection of over 130 "ASCII fonts". The only drawback is that it's a TTP
program and therefore less than intuitive to use. Having said that, it is
well documented. Figlet is best run from a command line as the standard
input box for a TTP does not give much space for the necessary commands to
be entered. Needs a hard drive. EURO DISTANCE v05/98 by David Sykes - A
simple yet useful program. Simply type in the name of two European cities
and it calculates the distance (in road miles or kilometres) and/or journey
time (by car) between them. Although not every town or city is covered, most
major ones are. What's more the data extends from the Orkney Isles to
Moscow! Colour only.
UTL.6255C ANOTHER LOTTERY NUMBER GENERATOR V0.75 by Muscles - Described as a
fun way to pick your lottery numbers. It starts off with a snappy intro then
goes to main menu. If you have an STe, you can alter the volume, treble and
bass settings for the samples. It still runs on an STFM, you just don't get
the samples. ALNG generates its numbers randomly and you can choose three
methods by which to select them. The first displays a moving ball and you
press any key to stop it rolling and reveal a number, the second generates
random lines of numbers (again generated by pressing any key) and selects
the six most common numbers from all rows, the third method involves firing
at squares to reveal concealed numbers. ALNG adopts the fun approach rather
than a scientific method. It's even more fun if you have an STe as you get
stereo samples throughout. Although ALNG will run on a 520 (if you disable
the intro), it loads all samples into memory if you have 1Mb or more, thus
eliminating further disk accesses.
UTL.6277 CLOCKY V2.31 by Petr Stehlik - Displays a digital clock in the top
right of your screen within the menu bar. It works in all resolutions and is
compatible with some graphics cards too. Other features include the
selection of international keyboard layouts, support for deadkeys, ALT +
ASCII code allows characters not on the keyboard to be entered, mouse
accelerator built-in, screen saver (ST High or Falcon only), invert screen
colours, boot up a Mega STE at 16Mhz and more... A really useful multi-
purpose Auto folder program which uses less than 5K of RAM! BLITMODE by
Levien van Zon - Allows you to switch between hardware (using the blitter)
and software (using the VDI) blitting. NVDI switches off hardware blitting,
this program lets you switch it back on! DRAGFNTE V4 by Thomas Much - A drag
and drop font selector for use with Magic. It lists all fonts currently
installed under GDOS/SpeedoGDOS/NVDI and allows you to choose the point size
and attribute for the selected font. It's then a case of dragging your
selection into the open window of your document. Dragfnte only works with
Magic alongside programs which understand the font protocol or are
compatible with the Xacc 2 protocol. DB360PAT - Patches v3.50 or v3.51 of
Oregon Research's hard drive backup utility, Diamond Back, to v3.60. This
program is of no use to you unless you already own Diamond Back v3.50 or
v3.51. NAMES by David Sykes -Type in your name and find out its meaning.
Hundreds of common English language names and their names are included.
UTL.6278 EXT2.XFS V0.1.1 by Axel Kaiser - An extended file system driver for
use with MiNT. It allows you to read data from hard drive partitions created
using the Linux Ext2 file system. It does not let you write to these
partitions, merely read data from them and/or copy data off them. EXT2
requires an XHDI hard disk driver (such as HDDriver) and MiNT/Multi-TOS.
HYPERION by Keith Baines - A hypertext viewer for the Psion Series 3a and
3c. Similar in concept to ST-Guide, though not compatible with it.
Registered users get a utility which lets them create their own hypertext
files. Please note, this is a Psion program, not an Atari one! It needs to
be transferred to the Psion using ST2S3 (on F.5348). MAGICSLM by Harald
Schoenfeld - Lets you use an Atari SLM804/605 laser printer to print files
from a Falcon, PC or Mac! You need to attach the SLM to the ST's DMA port
(you need an ST to act as your printer server) and connect the two computers
via a null modem cable. Print from the Falcon, PC or Mac (using an HP
driver) to the serial port and MAGICSLM will intercept the data and print it
to the SLM. If your application does not support printing to the serial
port, you will need to print to disk instead. Although it seems like
overkill having to connect up two computers and a printer, it does let you
make use of your Atari laser on machines which do not have a DMA port. Docs
are in German, but there's an excellent article in Atari Computing #9
explaining how to set it up. Needs an ST (or STE) with at least 2Mb, running
the Diablo emulator (on UTL.364), a null modem cable, a Atari SLM804/605
laser and an application which supports printing to the serial port or to
disk. MAGICP by Tommy Andersen - Patches the MagiC kernel file to fix
problems which exist when running MagiC on a TT with TOS 3.01/3.06. If your
TT has TOS v3.06, you don't need this patch. It fixes v3.x, 4.x and 5.x of
MagiC. MAGIC CONFIG v1.5 by Christian Ratsch - Lets you alter all user-
configurable settings within the MAGX.INF file of MagiC v5 or v6. These
include the maximum number of windows, environmental variables, system font,
shell buffer size, boot resolution, cookie jar size, timeslice allocation,
long filename support, look and feel of the GUI and lots more. MAGX CONFIG
V1.0 by Dominique Bereziat - Another program which lets you customise the
variables stored within MAGX.CNF. This one is very different in
presentation, but similar in functionality to MagiC Config (also on this
disk). Regrettably both program and docs are in French. NO GREEN V0.95 by
Mikael Folkesson - Does the green (blue on the Falcon!) annoy you on bootup?
This program replaces it with a grey background. In fact, you can alter that
to any colour (or indeed image) you wish, using a resource file editor such
as Interface or Resource Master. FASTSHUT by Christian Ratsch - Lets you
shut down MagiC from Start Me Up (on UTL.5760) without having to open its
right-click extra menu. Besides, it's much faster than SMU's method.
UTL.6279 AUTOSWITCH V2.1 by Dobashi Hiroshi - A boot manager which displays
up to 20 Auto folder programs and ACCs in a window. You can switch them on
or off by selecting them with the mouse. Rather basic in features but useful
if you just want to switch on/off the odd item. High res only. PORTFOLIO
PARTNER V1.9 by David Becker - Have you ever tried to enter a long name and
address list on an Atari Portfolio? The small keys make the process prone to
errors. This program lets you enter the data on your ST. Records can be
searched, sorted alphabetically, loaded and saved etc. Portfolio Partner
restricts the format of the data to that which you can utilise on the
Portfolio. You will still need to set up a serial link between your ST and
Portfolio, but this program at least helps take some of the pain out of
typing large files. EPRO 24B - Updates v2.4A of Anondyne Software's ExtenDOS
Pro to v2.4B. Please note, this program is of no use to you unless you
already own ExtenDOS Pro v2.4A. Version 2.0 upwards can also be upgraded by
using the appropriate patches on UTL.5545, UTL.5614, UTL.5691 as
appropriate. NEWTON V0.5R by Mikael Folkesson - A calculator in a movable
window. It has been designed specifically for use on a multi-tasking OS, but
works fine on TOS too. When running under Magic, if an xFSL compatible font
selector and NVDI v3 or later is installed, you can change the default font
used by Newton. As well as simple calculations, Newton supports the
following functions; abs, acos, asin, atan, cos, cosh, exp, log, log10, sin,
sinh, sqrt, tan, tanh and heav. One of the prettiest calculators yet! High
res only. MINTSETT by Kellis - A GEM program which gives information on your
MiNT kernal such as your configuration and user defined settings. The
results can be sent to the Clipboard. Now incorporates all the features of
ALERT.ACC, so it is no longer required and you can set up your system to run
MINTSETT when a BUS error is generated, as a debugging aid. Requires
FreeMiNT v1.14.6 or later. GEMVELOPE DEMO by Brisk Software - Allows you to
print envelopes, fed into your printer the long way. It uses GDOS (not
supplied) but is also SpeedoGDOS compatible (it doesn't like NVDI). It is
also possible to import text from your word processor and set up custom
envelope sizes. Exact positioning of text is also supported. There are of
course limitations in this demo version. Requires GDOS v1.1 or later.
FREEGEM by Kellis - Allows you to monitor free RAM in real time. It displays
both ST RAM and TT Fast RAM (if appropriate) as a percentage of total RAM,
in bytes and as an LED display! FreeGem requires AES 4.0 (Falcon/TT) or a
multi-tasking OS such as Multi-TOS or MagiC.
UTL.6280 EXPORT by Dominique Bereziat - Converts Unix text to Atari format
and vice versa. Includes C sources. ICONS - Almost 500 custom icons in RSC
format. These include icons for most popular Atari packages as well as Drive
and printer icons etc. There's even some "borrowed" from the PC and Mac.
Both standard size icons and miniature icons are included. They can be used
as replacement Desktop icons with TOS 2.06 or later in the DESKICON.RSC file
or with replacement Desktops such as Thing, Gemini, Ease etc. They are
supplied as black and white icons for TOS 2.06 and in 16 colour format for
TOS 3 upwards. In order to use these icons, you will require an icon editor
such as Resource Master (on UTL.6105).
UTL.6282 BETADOS V2.90 by Ulf Ronald Andersson - A replacement for Atari's
CD-ROM driver for use with multi-tasking systems. It is fully compatible
with MetaDOS but features improvements over it. In addition, the CD-ROM
drive may now be accessed via the U:\ drive like any other device. BUBBLES
by Jon Lewis - A screen saver which runs as an ACC. After one minute of no
activity, it blanks out your screen and displays bubbles, just like those
you get in a fish tank, but without the fish! It keeps a check on the mouse,
keyboard and all I/O ports and restores your display as soon as it detects
some signs of life. THE MAD POET V1.1 by Carl Lofgren - Yes, this is a
poetry generator! As supplied, it can create up to 200 million randomly
generated poems and you can add to its word list to vary these even further.
Don't take it seriously, though. Few of the poems make any sense, though
they do read well and many are somewhat humorous, albeit unintentionally.
GEMTRADE V1.10 by Mark Wherry - Development of the excellent German to
English translation program Ruftrade has ceased. GEMTrade is its successor,
all dressed up in a nice GEM based shell with windowed dialogs, drag & drop,
BubbleGEM, OLGA, and AV protocol support and an editable dictionary. In fact
it even uses the original Ruftrade dictionaries although the translation
routines have been changed. Although its primary aim is to perform automatic
translation of documents from German to English, you can also translate
individual words between the two languages (in both directions). The results
of these can be copied to the GEM clipboard. GEMTrade can also be used as a
module within CAB v2.5 or later. In such cases, any German language pages on
the Web will be automatically translated and displayed in English! There are
limitations in this Shareware release, register to remove them.
UTL.6320 HIDEAWAY V1.1.4 by Bruno Essman - Allows you to hide all open
windows belonging to a selected application when running Multi-TOS. This is
useful if you have multiple windows open for several applications as the
windows can tend to clutter up the screen and it can get confusing as to
which application the window belongs. This ACC simply allows you to hide and
unhide all windows belonging to a chosen application. MAKE ST IMAGE v1.1 by
Vezz - Allows you to create a .ST format disk image from any floppy disk for
use with the Pacifist on F.6049 (PC) or Nostalgia on F.6160 (Mac) Atari
emulators. Prior to the release of this program, you had to create a MSA
archive then convert it to .ST format on the PC, now the whole process can
be completed on the Atari. Although this is an Atari program but is of no
use to you unless you are emulating an ST on a PC or Mac using one of the
above emulators. POWER SAVER by Tommy Andersen - If you have a monitor which
supports low energy power saving features, this CPX (for use with Xcontrol
UTL.3879) automatically powers down your monitor after five minutes. Do not
use this program on monitors which do not support power saving features,
otherwise you may damage your monitor. SERIAL V1.00 by Peter Rottengatter -
A replacement for MODEM.CPX which recognises the TT and Falcon's serial
ports and supports baud rates higher than 19200 bps. SET DATE V4.00 by
Dobashi Hiroshi - An excellent date/time setter. Each time it runs, it
checks for DATE.DAT (a file it created earlier) and reads the time/date from
it. You then use the arrows within the window to move the display to the
current date/time. On a multi-tasking OS, the clock window can be left
running as a visual on-screen clock. Mono only. ZIP 2.0 - An updated version
of the ZIP compression program which is fully compatible with PK ZIP on the
PC. Its main features over ST ZIP include the ability to split and rejoin
archives (useful when a ZIP file will not fit onto a floppy disk) and repair
damaged archives. There are numerous other enhancements. ZIP 2.0 consists of
two TTP files which require precise parameters. Unless you need the extra
features offered by this version, stick with ST ZIP on UTL.3093.
