- 514DRIVE - Here are a text file and a schematic that show you how to adapt
- any IBM 5 1/4" drive to work on your Amiga. Requires a bit of skill,
- but this tells you how, parts needed, etc.
-
- EXPAND - The source and executables are included here. This is a program
- that is compatible with COMPRESS, and is said to be far more efficient.
-
- EXPCPY - ExpressCopy is a new harddisk backup utility - but it is also
- useful for copying any directories, disks, etc. It can copy about 1M
- per minute, and can alternate between up to 4 drives. It does not
- compress the data, so the backup disks are still usable normally in
- case of emergency. This is a working demo version of the commercial
- program.
-
- FONTS - This is not a collection of fonts, but is a font utility. It will
- give you a list of all the fonts in the system (memory or disk) and
- all of the information the Amiga has about those fonts. You can
- select the information you want to know by parameters at runtime.
-
- IPC - You need a compiler to make this one work, but this is a version of
- the IPC software that the Usenet group have been working on for a year
- or so. These procedures provide a mechanism for independent processes
- to communicate with each other through "IPC ports". This is similar in
- some ways to the popular commercial product AREXX. Works differently,
- but similar purpose.
-
- IVIEW - "IView" is the first "show" program for the Amiga which can display
- normal IFF/ILBM standard or overscan pictures, in addition to RGBN
- pictures generated by Turbo Silver (all versions) AND "3DPX" Stereo 3D
- pictures that are generated by Turbo Silver-SV and Haitex X-Specs
- software.
-
- NATURE - This is a stereoscopic raytrace picture rendered with Turbo Silver.
- It can be viewed with either the Haitex X-Specs 3D glasses or the new
- Turbo Silver-SV Sega interface. The picture depicts two insects,
- some leaves and ferns.
-
- PDMAKE - Another one for those of you with C compilers. This is a public
- domain MAKE utility, but you must compile it before it will work.
-
- PEEL2 - Peel is a program which takes a lo-res IFF picture and peels the
- image off the screen, while showing the back side of the image. Like
- tape being pulled off glass. This peeling starts in the lower right
- corner and leaves the background (Color 0) behind.
-
- TREKTRIVIA - Test your knowledge of StarTrek! This is a game that asks
- you questions about the series, and gives you a score at the end. There
- are 100 questions in this file, and information is given for obtaining
- new question files from the author - who lives in Garland, Texas.
-
- XOR2HC - This program will take NFL team files in the Xor "ROS" format and
- convert them for use in Head Coach.
-
- XOR2TV - This program will take NFL team files in the Xor "ROS" format and
- convert them for use in TV Sports.
