Public Domain Software 1992
FROM DEAN GARRAGHTY
The Public Domain software listed here has been collected from
around the world, and quite a bit of it has been written by me and
other users in the UK. The prices shown include the cost of the
disk, 1st class postage, protective packaging, and any duplicating
costs involved. All disks are for the Atari XL/XE. Please check
disk density. Single density will work on any drive, but double
density will require a 1050 or equivalent. On double sided disks,
the reverse side can be used by turning the disk over, and
inserting it "upside down". This does in fact work with the XF551
drive(despite what I've said on earlier issues of this list!!).
NOTE: any disks using sampled music/sounds/speech, do not need any
special hardware to run. They run under software control.
ALL DISKS ARE 2pounds EACH. DISKS MARKED WITH A "*" INDICATE THAT A
PRINT-OUT OF THE MANUAL IS AVAILABLE AT 1pound EXTRA. Bulk discounts, and
prices to foreign countries are listed at the end of this catalogue.
___________________________________
PD1 - long digital music demos. This disk contains 4 edited sampled
music demos. The music was sampled from the actual recording, and has
been re-mixed to play up to 1 1/2 mins. This disk is double sided, and
single density, and contains: Star Trekin' and Equinox, as well as two
mixed demos. Also included is the 'phone demo. Here a telephone rings 5
times, and then a droopy voice says:"It's for you-oo!".
PD2 - the Programmer's Speech Tool (P.S.T). This disk contains 14
speech samples that can be used in your own BASIC programs. The disk
contains extensive documentation, all the samples (E.g. "great score!",
"hello"),runner software, and a demo of its use. This is a single
sided, single density disk.
PD3 - the music machine. This is the P.D. forerunner of D.M.S. It is
very simple, but allows you to use the 19 digitized sounds supplied to
be played using the keyboard or joystick, and also has a very simple
editor for creating runable BASIC code. The disk may be a good
introduction to digitized sounds, but D.M.S is recommended for more
serious work. This disk is single sided, and double density.
PD4 - the "this and that" disk. This disk contains something for
everyone. It contains some graphics demos, an adventure, a maze game, 2
new versions of DOS (compatable with 2.x), a share buying simulation, a
sound fx program in Turbo-BASIC (Turbo required to run this program),
some music, and a demo created with D.M.S (not required to run this
program). This disk is single sided and single density.
PD5 - Dean's Desktop System (DDS). This is a simple (very!) operating
environment. It is based around a main section, and has a calculator,
real-time clock, a diary, a simple database, and its own DOS. This disk
is single sided, and single density. This disk was shareware, but is
now P.D.
PD6 - long digital music demos #2. Another disk similar to PD1, but
with new music. This is a single density, double sided disk, and
contains: Relax, The Bill, Don't look back, and 720.
PD7 (*) - D.S.I.L. Another program for using digitized sounds to create
music. It is more advanced than PD3, and is a language based version.
It contains the language(only a few commands!), a compiler to turn
tunes into BASIC, and a keyboard player. It also contains samples, and
demo tunes, as well as an on-disk user guide.
This was originally a commercial program, but now is in the P.D.
It comes on a DS/DD disk.
PD8 (*) - Education disk 1 (counting and maths). This disk contains 6
educational programs designed for children just starting maths. Most
have digitized speech. They introduce methods of counting and maths by
using storylines to get the child involved. This is a SS/SD disk.
PD9 - "this and that" 2. Another disk full of all sorts of programs.
Included are more graphics and sound fx demos. Also included is
"framewords" - a game based on the T.V. quiz "the frame game", Mathquiz
- a maths tester with software speech, Tables - to test the times
table, Test card - to help adjust your T.V., XR40 - a new text reader,
Numbers - a strategy game against the computer (a contribution from
another user), ATAFLEET - a great demo from a BBS, and Appliance
calculator to work out how much things cost to run. All this comes on a
SS/SD disk.
PD10 - BBK art. A great PD arts package. Loads koala and other format
pictures. Has many features found in expensive commercial packages.
Loads of koala format pictures are included, including many from
commercial games, and also a few fonts. SS/DD disk.
PD11 - APAC (Any Point Any Colour) demo disk. Loads full colour, full
shade pictures (up to 256 colours on screen at any time). Includes
loads of pictures. Note: some pictures not suitable for viewing by
children. DS/SD disk.
PD12 - Music&graphics demo disk. Contains a few great graphics and
music demos in machine code. Loader included. Note: some demos not
suitable for viewing by children. DS/SD disk.
PD13 - Graphics demos written in both Basic and M/C. Also a few with
music. Menu loader included. DS/SD disk.
PD14 - Voice Master demo disk. A demo disk of the Voice Master
digitizer system. Contains a talking calculator and keyboard, as well
as a couple of other demos. SS/SD disk.
PD15 - Parrot demo disk. This is the demo disk for the Parrot II
sampling system. It contains some demo music, which is superb! On the
other side is a Max Headroom demo. DS/SD disk.
PD16 - DOS XE. The latest official Atari DOS, which supports the XF551
(in double sided!!), and all other drives. On the other side is a mod.
for SpartaDos 3.2d, which will allow high speed using the XF551 when
used with SpartaDos. NOTE: this disk has no docs. for DOS XE. DS/SD
disk.
PD17 - Games 1. At last a games disk in my library!! This one contains
a Karate game on side 1, and Cave pac-man, Fortress, Scramble, Hoppo,
Pogo, and Wordfind on side 2. DS/SD disk.
PD18 - DOS 4. This DOS was developed by Atari for use with DS drives.
It is now PD. It has all the docs. on the disk. DOS 2 disks will need
converting to DOS 4 format (convertor on disk) before use. This is
quite a nice DOS, and well worth a try. SS/SD disk.
PD19 - Digitized graphics #1. Contains loads of mode 9 graphics
pictures, with a viewer and printer for Epson printers. This disk
contains loads of pics. from Moonlighting and ALF. It also has a few
others. Note: some pictures on this disk are not suitable for viewing
by children. DS/SD disk.
PD20 - Games 2. Another disk full of games. Contains Crazy Egon, Jack
the digger, Smurfs, Big quest, Kung Fu, and loads more. DS/SD disk.
PD21 - Utilities 1. A disk full of utilities. Has GOS (like a small
desktop system), Koala dumps, a couple of utils. for the 1020 plotter,
ramdisk utils., graphics convertor, disk RPM measure, and loads more
(too many to list!). DS/SD disk.
PD22 - Dong/Crockford demos. Demos from these two famous Lucasfilm
programmers. Contains some great demos. DS/SD disk.
PD23 - Basic music&Hanover show. Side A contains a few music demos
written in Basic. Side B contains a graphics and music demo from the
Hanover show (good stuff!). DS/SD disk.
PD24 (*) - Pryzm. This is a new 256 colours arts package. This version
is only a taster. The full version sells for $15.00. Contains all doc.
files. Note: The screen flickers during use because of the interrupts.
It will probably be the same on the full version. DS/SD disk.
PD25 - Digitized graphics #2. Another collection of mode 9 graphics
files. Contains all sorts, including: teenwolf,Whitney,Farrah, Pee Wees
play house and lots more! SD/DS disk.
PD26 - Utilities 2. Side a has lots more docs. for Turbo-basic. Side b
has MEC-DOS, a command DOS based on MS-DOS. DS/SD disk.
PD27 - More music/graphics demos. Some in Basic, some in M/C. A good
collection! SD/DS disk.
PD28 - Games 3. More games including: Awari,Biker Dave, Boxin, Dark
star, ris
