- Musician - This program will show you a picture of a keyboard, on which
- you can actually play, using the music system in the Amiga. You
- can have piano, or drums, or both. Music can be saved or loaded
- and a help screen is included as part of the program. Nice
- graphics, and fun to play.
-
- Showfont31 - An improved version of the ShowFont program on an earlier disk.
- This program will open a window, read your fonts: directory into
- a requester in that window, and you may select any font which
- will then be displayed in the window. No need to load a paing
- or DTP program to view the characters in a font. Nice.
-
- AmigaForth - The file says, AmigaForth.blk, and is an implementation of the
- Forth programming language for the Amiga.
-
- WBDepth - This program will change the number of planes assigned to your
- WorkBench screen, and can do it 'on the fly'. With one bitplane,
- you get two colors; two bitplanes, four colors, three bit-planes,
- eight colors, etc. Interesting program!
-
- m2du371 - This directory utility is extremely capable, and has been revised
- since the release of 1.3 so that it now handles the script and
- pure protection bits properly. If there is anything this utility
- cannot do, there are extra gadgets you can set up to your own
- taste - and it is PUBLIC DOMAIN, not shareware.
-
- CR20 - ClickRead was designed as a text file reader for the ".doc' files
- that often accompany programs. It is a small program, suitable
- for keeping in the C: directory, but has nice features such as a
- slide gadget for positioning in the text, buttons for scrolling,
- a search mode, and a 'park' mode that gets it out of the way. A
- very nice little utility.
-
- SpToy - The original SpeechToy, written by Dave Lucas, has been enhanced
- by Rob Peck. It can now read and write its own icon with the
- defaults you have set, has a menu item to save the current
- speech settings, can be started from either WB or CLI, and
- can read the default values in the icon even if run from the CLI.
-
- ZoePlay - A PD-player for the new animation program, ZoeTrope. This player
- will be necessary to view the animations for those who do not
- purchase the program. Lessee now - you need a player for each of
- the animation programs, and I think that is up to about six.
- Shall we make a disk of players?
-
- SMORSE - This file contains the source, but it is sparsely documented. I
- know only that it sends Morse code, and I think it sends it through
- the sound channels from input at the keyboard. An adventure
- for you - find out how it works!
-
- TETRIX - This game originated in Russia. It is available in PD forms for
- several computers, and the source is in public domain, but there
- are commercial versions from Spectrum HoloByte for the IBM and the
- MacIntosh. This is an Amiga port of the public domain code.
-
- WARP2.0 - The author of Warp is unknown, but the program will make an
- archive of an entire disk, preserving the exact structure in
- much the same way as making a backup will do. It is simple
- to use: To read it, type "WARP 0 79 Name", and to write
- the archived version out, "WARP write name". Can be used for
- less than a full disk, too, by specifying the tracks to be
- read or written.
-
- KICKTOYS - This set of three programs will let you study the kickstart
- routines. Here are some tools to use for exploring the mysteries
- of the kickstart-
- Kickunload --------- reads the kickstart disk and creats a file ks.bin
- which you can peruse with newzap.
- Kick_snatch -------- reads the kickstart image resident in memory
- and creates a file ram:ks.bin
- which you can peruse with newzap.
- Kick_split -------- divides the 256k file into 4 64k X 8 files,
- suitable for programming into 27512 eproms.
-
- LS21 - A Unix-style list utility that permits various types of sorts
- and other options that give many of the features of both LIST
- and DIR. A very nice replacement.
