ICONLAB1 - this shareware program provides an unusually nice icon
manipulator. It will allow you to change the type of any
icon to any other type, to change the tooltypes, etc., to
view each part of an animated icon. The viewing window is
large, so you can use it with oversized icons that will not
fit into IconEd.
DISKSALV13 - an update to the indispensable DiskSalv from Dave Haynie. The
new version will rescue disks from either old or new file
systems, from floppy or from hard disks. It can be used
selectively to rescue only certain programs. The features
are far too numerous to list, because this disk is nearly
full!
EW12 - Exploding Windows is a cute little screen hack, but it does so much
to dress up the Amiga that I thought you'd want to see it.
I use it most of the time. It takes up a little time, but
is just too attractive to dismiss.
FASTDISK - A program from Germany, with documentation in both German and in
a translation to English. The program optimizes disks for
faster access, and it works by copying your disk to a fresh
one, reorganizing as it goes. It is said to make directories
from three to five times as fast as normal.
LESS1.3 - This update to LESS has all the features of the UNIX version, has
a manual and a help file, and offers many extensions to the
popular file reader we've used for a long time. The source
came with this file, but would not fit on this disk. It
is on Fish #14.
SHELL2.10 - Matt Dillon's latest update to his shell. There have been
several bug fixes and additions. Not only has the Delay(0)
bug been circumvented, but SETENV and PRINTENV have been
added. These permit you to have global variables that will
apply to all shells running in the system.
FLOAT - A nice little utility that will make any icon a "noposition" icon.
It is extremely easy to use: Just click on the "Float" icon
then double-click on the non-floating icon, and it will
be changed.
ACCESS1.4 - This terminal program grows more and more useful. It now has
a "read" facility, a view buffer that can be saved, and
supports PAL, MoreRows, interlace, etc. If you use this
please do not put the menu that contains "Quit" at the top
of the screen. That is being fixed, but the fix is not
available yet. The program works fine if you take this
precaution. Shareware from Keith Young.
SHOWFONT - With this one, you can look at every character in a font without
having to load the font into memory. It will open a window,
read the font from disk and display the full character set,
and then go away when you click the close gadget.
HANDYICONS - I think it very likely that this one will become indispensable
to almost everyone with a hard disk, if not to everyone
else. It makes an extra menu on the Workbench disk. You
can then store all your most necessary tool names in that
menu and select them just as you would select anything else
from the regular menus. To add a new tool, type the path
to that tool into the ToolTypes blank for HandyIcons.info.
SHOWIZ - Why another slideshow program? This one has more than twenty ways
to present a picture, and it will do them without a script.
A script can be written if you want to fancy things up,
but ShoWiz will work without one, and will make an interes-
ting presentation with minimum work.
