- 3D-ICONS - The author of this file was impressed with the icons on the NeXt
- machine. He made these for his Amiga. You'll find a number of
- icons for each "type" and "name" disk device you have. Simply
- copy the appropriate .info file to the disk and rename DISK.INFO
- as you copy it. To aid in seeing what each icon looks like, I've
- included a picture file. View it with any IFF ILBM picture
- viewing utility.
-
- AUTO13 - This patch is for those of us without auto-config. The patch is
- added to the Kickstart disk, performing the ADDMEM function whenever
- a "cold boot" is performed. The Kickstart execution of ADDMEM
- should eliminate the problems some RAM experience with ADDMEM and
- recoverable RAM disks (RRD, VD0- , Survivor, etc.).
-
- CAT&MOUSE - Cat & Mouse is a game of hand/eye coordination. The aim of the
- game is very simple- STAY ALIVE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. BUT (because
- there always has to be a BUT) as in real life, the more you eat the
- slower you will go and that's what your deadly opponents the Cats
- are hoping for. Also, if you don't eat enought you will loose your
- reserves of energy and either die or get caught. Also like in real
- life, you only have one life to live...
-
- DISKSTICK - This is a program designed for printing labels for 3 1/2" disks.
- It opens a window, reads the directories, provides for editing,
- offers a choice of print pitch, multiple or single column, and
- automatically prints the disk name and label.
-
- DST11 - This is a small program that will run from either the WB or CLI.
- It will display a list of ALL currently mounted devices, including
- hard disk partitions on the Workbench screen, i.e. it does not
- have its own window, so you have no way of communicating with it.
- That also means that it takes very little memory (no chip mem at
- all) and very little processor time.
-
- EASYMENU - This is a programming routine that will create a menu
- to be used in your own programs. Very short, source only.
-
- HELPWP - WordPerfect Helper - this will put a bar on the bottom line of the
- screen showing the Function Key definitions for WordPerfect. Press
- one of the qualifier - keys and the display changes to show what the
- function key does with that qualifier. Saves lots of searching
- on that tiny template they send you.
-
- RUNBACK3 - This is an altered version of Rob Peck's fine program, RunBack.
- RunBack, similar to Run, allows you to startup a CLI program and
- let it run in the background. Unlike Run, however, RunBack allows
- the original CLI to be closed. Run would hang the CLI if you did this.
- Also unlike Run, the old RunBack did not search your command search
- path; you always had to specify the complete pathname of your command.
- This new version eliminates this hassle - - it searches your path.
-
- SCREENHACKS - Two of them - CloseMe, a window that just won't close, and
- some other tricks, besides. Also, EW14. You saw Exploding
- Windows a few months ago, and now it is better.
-
- SETFONT2.5 - This is an update to Dave Haynie's popular SetFont program.
- SetFont V2.5 is a public domain program designed to allow the system
- font of the Amiga to be changed in various different ways. The
- program is called from a shell or startup - sequence script, and has
- the form - SetFont [fontname [point [places]]]
- Almost any diskfont of suitable size can be used.
-
- SHOWFONT32 - December 88 update to this program, which will display all
- characters of a diskfont in a window on the screen. It works
- quickly, and its window goes away after you are through. It
- puts a requester on the screen, from which you may select the
- name and size of the font to be viewed.
-
- QuickLens - QuickLens v2.03 is a program that magnifies portions of any
- screen. It demonstrates some very fast bit manipulation techniques.
- Written by Mike Berro, it is based on "Lens" by Ned Konz. v2.03 has
- Magnify and NextScreen gadgets. QLens automatically vacates any
- closing screen.
-
-
- TTT - a 3-dimensional tic-tac-toe game on a board of 4 levels each board
- has 16 squares all displayed in perspective.
-
- Asteroids - Asteriods loads all of its images from a single IFF/ILBM
- file called "template.ilbm". If you don't like any or all of the
- shapes of the asteroids or ships just edit this file. The images
- must remain the same size as before and be roughly circular
- (collision detection is based on circular objects). Sounds are
- loaded from a set of IFF/8SVX sound files which you can also change
- to your liking.
