- AddIcon1.0 - This is a little utility program which will 'create' (actually
- 'clone') icons for files which do not already have one. The icons
- which are used as the templates are stored in a directory which MUST
- be named AddIcon_Icons. These icons may be changed, replaced, or
- deleted at will. The default tool and the tooltypes stored in the
- .info file will be carried over to the new icon.
-
- B.A.D - This is a demo and does not do all the regular prog does. BAD
- cleans up the a disk and then writes it to a new disk. Icons an all
- appear a lot quicker. Also lessens the graunching noises drives can
- make
-
- CommTut - a long and detailed tutorial on comms.

- FreeRam - lists to stdo where exactly all free ram lives with addresses.

- GetOpt - another progamming utility. The function getopt() returns the
- next option letter in argv that matches a letter in optstring.
- Optstring is a string of valid option letters; if an option letter
- is followed by a colon (:), that option is expected to have an argument
- that may or may not be separated from it by white space. Optarg is set
- to point to the start of the option's argument on return from getopt();

- Kurta - more C source this time with intuition etc.
-
- Resident - little utility that prints out all names of devices, libraries
- etc that are resident.

- BtoA - is a filter that reads anything from the standard input, and

- Cd - is a replacememnt for AmigaDos cd but this time adds a note to the
- menu bar saying what the current path is.

- Colour_Twiddler - First, you can experiment with different colour
- combinations by actually specifying numeric parameters for Red, Green,
- and Blue. You can also do the same with numerous programs which use
- "slider gadgets", but I include the capability for completeness. Note
- there's also a slider-gadget option in this program which you can
- enable at compile time.
