- Pics - A comical pic of a toilet and a 3½" disk in alien surroundings.
- Superview is included in the c directory for these pictures.
-
- AMI3270 - Ami3270 is a terminal program based on Jez San's Argoterm. I
- wrote it to provide a way of logging on to IBM mainframes running a
- VT100 to 3270 protocol converter; the two protocol converters Ami3270
- supports are SIM3278 (a software protocol converter) and the PCI
- protocol converter. All the VT100 emulators I have tried have at least
- one - and sometimes more -problems. The usual one is scrolling of the
- display when the bottom line is reached; this is a problem with
- SIM3278. Ami3270 avoids the annoyance.
-
- AMIGABBS - his is a program written in Assembly Language for the Amiga
- computer to run PACKET radio as a backround task. It uses the Amiga
- Serial port to interface to a Terminal Node Controller (TNC). The TNC
- is connected to the Amiga thru a RS-232 serial cable, and to a VHF or
- HF radio thru Receive audio, Microphone audio, and PTT lines.
-
- ATREE - Atree is a disk utility which imitates similar utilities widely
- available on IBM compatibles (PC Tools, XTree, QuickDos, etc.). The
- intent is to allow the user a graphic representation of the entire (or
- any portion of the entire) directory structure on a disk device,
- including the files in each directory, and the capability of moving
- quickly through the "tree" to a directory to access its files for
- purposes of copying, deleting, moving, viewing, editing, etc.
-
- DISKOPTI - This program will copy all the files on a disk making sure
- that the data blocks for each file are consecutive. Depending on the
- number of directories and files on a disk, the process can take up to
- 6 minutes to complete.
-
- FINDDISK - This is a simplified cataloging program for your disks. It
- is meant to be small and easily managed, but will handle a large
- number of disks.
-
- FIXDISK - FixDisk is a program to recover as much as possible from a
- defective disk. I don't claim it is better than 'Diskdoctor' or
- 'DiskSalv', but it has some features the others don't have - first of
- all it can recover damaged (unreadable) tracks, it has functions to
- check file integrity, to check the directory structure and functions
- to undelete, copy or show (even defective) files, fix corrupted
- directory pointers etc. Werner Guenther.
-
- FONZ - This program is similar to SetFont, except that it sets the font
- for programs that open their own custom screens.
-
- FUNPAINT - If you enjoy Amiga graphics but you don't want to invest in
- a professional paint program, then Fun Paint is just the thing for
- you. It allows you to create and edit paintings quickly and easily in
- all the Amiga graphic display modes with up to 4096 different colors.
- It opens and saves Interchange File Format (IFF) paintings so its
- compatible with many other Amiga programs.
-
- IM_EXAMPLE - This is just a very short piece of code that shows how to
- open a window and draw into it.
-
- ISPOOL13 - IAMSpooler 1.3 consists of three programs that allows
- programs to send printer output to disk for subsequent printing on the
- printer. The printing is automatic and in most cases does not require
- userintervention.
-
- MAZE12 - The simple little maze game grown up! This one has very
- simple mazes for level 1; quite difficult ones for level 2; those I
- did not even attempt in level 3. Have fun!
-
- MOUSETRAP - Another maze program. In this one, you can create your
- own maze, and then have your "mouse" run through it. The graphics are
- nicely done in hi-res. A number of options are available.
-
- Joplin - A selection of famouse Scott Joplin tunes. Sonix `Play' is
- supplied.
