- 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.
