PD REVIEW
---------
The Hitchhiker's Shareware Disk 1
Price:£2.75
Supplier:Floppyshop
The Hitchhiker, or Stephen Coates, must be famous for his PD
Doument Displayer 'Revenge'. This has ultra fast smooth
scrolling text, with many options such as blocks, print
proportionally, autoscroll. His latest version 2.23 is inlcuded
on this disk.
The wide range of his utilties on this disk, have Hisoft and
Devpac 2 source code.
BOOTWAIT - Simply, makes your ST wait 20 odd seconds before
booting to syncrhonise with your hard disc.
BOOT_DRV - Allows you to boot either from drive A or drive B.
DATA2BAS - Converts data, so it can be used in basic programs.
B_INSTALL - Allows you to switch on Drive B after booting up.
DISKCAT - Creates a sort of minidata base of all your disk
collection.
CUSTMIC - A custom disk formatter, allowing you to select many
sectors, tracks etc.
FLIPIT - Turns your screen upside down and makes your text very
weird indeed.
GO_ACC2 - Select which accessories can be loaded upon boot up.
PC_TRACE - Displays the program count in the top right corner of
the screen.
SAMCOMP - Compresses samples by halving their playing
frequencies.
SCAN4PIC - Scans program and data files for picture data.
SGEM1_4 - A Startgem program compatible for Tos 1.4
SAMCONV - Converts ST Replay samples to Mastersound and vicey
versa.
LIBS - Is a folder with the Hisoft libraries, which it needs to
compile all the source code also on the disk.
Overall, this is quite a good collection of quite useful
utilities, and with the source you can include them in your own
programs, and improve them.
