- FONTS - A very clean font called 2001, size 8 x 8, so it works with SetFont.
- Another, Boxy, comes in all three standard sizes (8, 9, 11) and can
- be used with the FF command in 1.3, and a third is a 26-point font
- called Pirate.
-
- DIRK - This program lets you fine tune your screen colors. It can run from
- a startup sequence if you prefer, and is a CLI program only.
-
- RXENV - This is a set of AREXX programs that work with Lattice C, making
- it easier to edit and compile programs. Three programs are included,
- along with instructions.
-
- CONMAN13 - The included ConMan.doc file has a full description of how to
- install and use ConMan, but here's a brief summary of the standard
- features -
- -- Powerful line editing using control and arrow keys
- -- Adjustable-sized command history buffer

-
- ICN2BRU - Many utilities convert brushes to icons.
- This one converts. Icons to brushes so you can edit them with your
- favorite paint program. You can then use one of the other utilities
- to turn them back to icons.
-
- SHOWBRD - This is a small program that will search the system for all
- mounted boards, etc., and report back information about them.
- Written by a developer of hardware for the Amiga.
-
- TEXTRDR - Will read and copy text from a window. As you move the mouse
- across the text, it will appear at the cursor. Useful - saves
- typing!
-
- FORTUNE - A very small example of an AREXX program. This one will read
- a datafile of fortunes, adages, etc., and print them out at
- random times on the screen. Datafile not included - sorry.
-
- BILLIARDS - This is a very nice game. A billiards table is shown on the
- screen, and you control the stick. You can vary the force and
- direction with which the ball is hit, using the mouse to control
- it. I like this one.
-
- LEDGER - This is a program for keeping up with accounts of any kind -
- home records, or those for a small business or a club.
-
- XOPER11 - a tremendous program for snooping out and/or controlling
- tasks, processes, and all other structures in use in the
- system. It will display the start address of anything in use
- in the system, and in most cases, you get some measure of
- control over them. VERY nice.
-
- ROCKET - A drawing of rockets - an especially nice one. This is an
- artist's rendition of rockets, inspired by the recent space
- launch. Overscan picture, so you may have to have a program
- that will scroll pics in order to see all of it.
-
- STAT11 - A manual translation of James M. Synge's stat.c to assembly
- language.
- Synge's stat is more useful to programmers than the AmigaDos or ARP
- status commands because it shows where each command is loaded into
- memory. All variable storage is on a stack frame so the code is
- "pure".
-
- DUTILS - This file contains several utilities from Matt Dillon. Each is
- very small, and the source is given.
-
- DIR - A very small utility that enhances the DIR command. Among other
- things, it will give you a five-column directory.
-
- KICKFONT3 - This is exactly like the KickFont 1000 users have been using for
- a while - comes from Greg Browne just as the other did, but this one
- works on a 1.3 Kickstart. The new font is VERY nice.
-
- ICONS - The icons included are- Box.info,Envelope.info, File.info,
- Left.info, Middle.info, and Right.info. All are WorkBench fonts.
-
- DMOUSE11 - The popular mouse utility from Matt Dillon, once more improved
- and enhanced. Sunmouse, mouse accelerator, pointer blanker, screen
- blanker, popcli, etc.
