CONTENTS OF FFMCD01
(first monthly CD-ROM)
This file contains some overview information about the contents of the
CD-ROM, followed by a concatenation of a bunch of individual Contents files
on the CD-ROM. There wasn't time to set up a better method for this first
CD-ROM to find specific programs or types of programs. This situation
*will* get better with future CD-ROM's.
STRUCTURE OF THE CD-ROM
-----------------------
The current structure of the CD-ROM closely follows the initial concept for
the monthly CD-ROM's, being divided into roughly three sections: (1) New
material, which includes the material from the new unreleased floppy disks
as well as material which does not appear in the floppy distribution, (2)
useful utilities that can be used directly off the CD-ROM if desired, thus
freeing up the corresponding amount of hard disk space, and (3) older
material from previous released floppy disks or CD-ROM's.
The portion of the disk dedicated to new material that I've not previously
published on a CD-ROM or floppy disk is 84Mb, broken down as follows:
7Mb Archived (bbs ready) contents of disks 911-930
16Mb Unarchived (ready-to-run) contents of disks 911-930
21Mb Archived "new material" not in floppy distribution
40Mb Unarchived "new material" not in floppy distribution
The portion of the disk dedicated to a bunch of useful tools like GNU
utilities, TeX with lots of fonts, and other interesting software that will
be updated on a monthly basis, is 150Mb, broken down as follows:
3Mb Reviews of Amiga software and hardware
4Mb Full BSD source for supplied BSD executables.
8Mb Binary executables, libraries, and other "runtime" things.
10Mb Runtime support stuff for GNU emacs and GNU C/C++
14Mb Distributions of various small utilities and libraries.
33Mb PasTeX source, fonts, binaries, etc.
78Mb Full GNU source for supplied GNU executables.
The portion of the disk dedicated to old material is 404Mb, broken down as
follows:
257Mb Unarchived contents of floppy disks 600-910.
147Mb Archived (bbs-ready) contents of floppy disks 600-910.
GNU CODE
--------
Here are the current GNU distributions which are included in both source
and binary form. In most cases, they are the very latest distributions
ftp'd directly from the FSF machines and compiled with the version of gcc
included on this CD-ROM. I have personally compiled all of the GNU
binaries supplied on this CD-ROM, to verify that the compiler (version
2.4.5) is solid and that the binaries are in fact recreatable from the
supplied source code.
bc diffutils flex grep make tar
binutils doschk gas gzip patch termcap
bison emacs gcc indent perl texinfo
cpio fileutils gdbm ispell sed textutils
dc find gmp m4 shellutils uuencode
Here is an "ls -C" of the binary directory which can be added to your path
to make these utilities, as well as utilities from the Useful/dist/other
directories, usable directly off the CD-ROM, once it is mounted:
AD2HT bc doschk indent paste test
ARTM bison du info patch texi2dvi
AZap brik echo install pathchk texindex
AmigaGuide bsd-make egrep ispell pr touch
DiskSalv bsplit emacs join printenv tr
ExpungeXRef c++ env ld printf true

Contents of Floppy Disks 600-910
--------------------------------
Because this is the first monthly CD-ROM, there are no previous monthly
CD-ROM's from which to replicate new material from previous months. I've
elected to use the contents of floppy disks 600-910 to fill that portion of
the CD-ROM. The next monthly CD-ROM will contain the new material from the
first one, which will squeeze out a substantial number of the older disks,
probably 600-700. Then the next monthly after that will contain the new
material from both of the previous monthly disks, squeezing out another
batch of older disks, etc.

GadLayout A system for laying out gadgets in a dynamic font and locale
sensitive manner. Note that it is not a graphical editor, but
a set of routines for programmers to use for much greater con-
trol in the laying out of gadgets. Version 36.22 release 1.6
beta, includes source and an example program.
Author: Timothy J. Aston
GadOutline A shared library intended to provide programmers with a means
of describing the general layout of a GUI in a font-independant
manner, taking care of the details of determining the exact
placement of the individual elements of the display and the
drudgery of creating and managing all of the gadgets. In addi-
tion, it provides a very generalized mechanism for tracking
the state of all of its gadgets to support automatic resizing
and closing and opening of a window without loss of context.
Includes automatic hotkey support and a vector based drawing
module that can be used for everything from drawing frames
around groups of gadgets to creating custom images for BOOPSI
gadgets. Version 2.0, includes the library, programmer support
files and some examples.
Author: Dianne Hackborn
PSM Yet Another Public Screen Program. It was primarily written as
a demonstration of the gadoutline.library, and is thus current-
ly very GUIcentric - it does no command line parsing for CLI
users or even look at its Workbench tooltypes. On the other
hand, it does have a very sophisticated multi-window user
interface and allows almost complete control over the creation
of screens. Version 1.0, binary only.

WBvwm With Workbench 2.04 we got the ability to use a bigger Work-
bench screen than fits on the display (virtual Workbench

windows. WBvwm opens up a small window representing the
entire Workbench area. Within the window, "objects" repre-
sent all open windows. By moving an object, the correspond-
ing window can be placed anywhere within the Workbench area.
You may also instantly move to any part of the Workbench

2MegAgnus The Two Meg Agnus Project increases the amount of "chip" RAM
in an Amiga 500 or 2000 to 2 megabytes. Chip RAM is where
the graphics and sound data are stored. Even though you may
have plenty of "fast" RAM, if you run out of "chip" RAM then
you will not be able to open any more windows or screens and
hence, no more programs. Revision 5.0D

OptMouse Software and hardware instructions on how you can modify a
Mouse Systems M3 optical serial mouse for use on the Amiga.
Also included are instructions which allow a serial mouse
to be modified to plug directly into the Amiga mouse port.
Author: J. Edward Hanway
RomSwitcher A Multi-Kickstart Board Project that allows the user of
an Amiga 500, 2000, or 2500 to switch between different
versions of the operating system, called Kickstart. Some
older software, and even some new software, is not compat-
ible with Commodore's latest version of the operating
system. This hardware project will let you use the new
version of the operating system (it is *tons* better than
1.3 and below), and still remain compatible with the soft-
ware that won't work under the new operating system.
Revision 3.1.
Author: Neil Coito and Michael Cianflone
SpeedRamsey Sets the skip bit in rev G Ramsey chips. The skip mode
speeds up RAM access from five clocks each to four clocks
each by skipping the last cycle. Some people call this
60-ns-mode because you need 60 ns DRAM or faster to ensure
that this works and doesn't crash your Amiga. Requires
Rev G Ramsey chip (A4000). Version 1.2a, includes source.

JPEGDataType Converts jpegs to 8 bit data for multiview and other
programs. It's SLOW and memory hungry, but does quite
a reasonable job. This is V39.1 of the JPEG datatype.
It will ONLY work under >=WB3.0 of the OS using >=68020.
Binary only.
Author: Steve Goddard
TPD Tron's PCX DataType V39.1, TPD is a datatype for OS 3.0
or newer. This datatype enables your system to read PCX
files. PCX is an image file format invented by the pro-
grammers of the program "PaintBrush" and one of the most
common image formats on MS-DOS computers. With this data-
type you will be able to display such PCX files with
"MultiView" or load them as patterns or pictures with
"WBPattern". Binary only.
Author: Matthias Scheler
ZGIFDataType A much faster replacement gif.datatype, coded using the
same lightning assembler as seen in ZGif04 (only _faster_).
Main points: Very fast, pictures usually load at the same
speed as equivalent depth ILBM's! (use it with viewtek105
for faster gif loading :); Supports almost all gifs (all
self-contained gifs); async file reading dramatically boosts
floppy performance; It's free! Requires and 020+ and OS3.0+.
Version 39.3, binary only.

Barfly-Prev A small preview of the Barfly Assembler/Debugger enviroment.
The picture of bdebug shows 2 debug sessions on an A2024 and
the guide file is an old file I wrote for the devcon, so it
doesn't represent the current state but it's still quite
accurate. The only *major* thing missing in that guide is
that the debugger can also stop on enforcer hits.

Creature A 60 frame test animation of a hideous creature that leans
in and snaps at the camera...ooooh, creapy stuff :-) Created
with the new 3.0 LW Modeler and animated with bones in Light-
Wave. Rendered with motion blur and field rendering enabled
then post converted to a HAM animation.

Windmill This is a 100 frame test animation I did as a proof of a
concept for a technique I developed to simulate tall grass
blowing in the wind. The method used to create it is des-
cribed in articles I wrote for Amiga Video/Graphics and a
new publication, LightWave Pro (put out by the VTU people).
It was done with LightWave 3.0 and took about 10mins per
frame with antialiasing at 752x480 resolution on a 33MHz
Zeus equipped 2000.

DviHp A printer driver for HP LaserJet (trademark of the Hewlett
Packard Company) and compatible printers. It translates DVI
files, usually generated by TeX, to a code understood by HP-
LJ (PCL printer control language). DviHp supports download-
ing fonts, which gives you extremely fast output. It allows
you to include IFF ILBM files into your documents. Version
1.1, an update to version 1.0 on disk number 892. Binary
only, shareware.
Author: Ales Pecnik
HP4Lsetter HP LaserJet 4L printer setup utility. Allows you to set
things like Page Setup, Type Styles, Print Quality, Memory,
Copies, Lines/Page, Paper Size, Orientation, Feed, etc.
Note: Some items disabled in this unregistered version.
Version 2.01, binary only.
Author: Quentin Snow
VirtPrinters Two new printer drivers. One shows the printer output on
a screen and the other saves it as IFF pictures. These
drivers emulate a page-mode printer, like a laser printer.
They both support color and b&w modes. Color mode uses
three bitplanes, while b&w uses only one. Several density
settings available, some correspond to the Amiga's aspect
ratio, but most are just 1 to 1. Screen_Printer requires
a great deal of chip ram at the higher density settings.
Both require AmigaDOS 2.04. Includes source.

ALock A little hack inspired by an earlier one by Mike Sinz, which
appeared on one of the DevCon disks. It's purpose is quite
obvious: alock grabs all inputevents and thus protects your
Amiga from any unwanted access by the keyboard or the mouse
until you enter the correct password. Version 1.1, includes
source.
Author: Michael Kaiser
AmiLock A console lock program which is system friendly. Amilock is
a series of programs which demonstrates inter-process comm-
unication, as well as the use of interrupt handlers. The
interrupt handlers are used to disable/limit keyboard and
mouse inputs, thereby allowing the console to be 'frozen'.
The mouse can still move, but no mouse clicks are possible.
Does not blank the screen, but any blanker can be run in
the background and will function properly. Version 1.0.1,
includes source.
Author: Michael Nielsen
InfoWin A simple little program written to use MUI. MUI stands
for 'Magical User Interface', an awesome package by Stefan
Stuntz. InfoWin keeps track of messages sent to it via its
ARexx port. I wrote it to track messages from my Caller ID
ARexx script so that I would have an easy way of seeing my
new calls. It's not complete yet (ie. it's not as fully
featured as I hope to make it eventually) but it is already
in use on my system. Version 1.0, binary only.
Author: Nick MacDonald
MagicIcons Standard icons are just so boooring... After installing
MagicWB I disliked my old icons even more and I started
to fiddle around with the existing material to produce
something more in line with the new 'magic' look of my
system. And this is the result. Nothing really original,
since I just took a set of MagicWB icons, another set of
my old icons and stir-fried them using Deluxe Paint.
Author: Thomas Baetzler
MFRinCED35 Allows the usage of Stefan Stuntz's Magic-File-Requester in
CED3.5, which doesn't work with MFR directly (probably out
of a change in CED3.5's file-loading-mechanisms). Uses a
small program to set the default public screen and Arexx
scripts. Requires OS2.0+, version 1.0, includes source.
Public Domain
Author: Benjamin Lear
MouseShift Translates the middle mouse button into the left shift key.
This allows easy multiple selection. Note that programs
that use the middle mouse button directly will no longer
recognize it. MouseShift requires at least AmigaDOS 1.2
to run, but will run as a commodity under AmigaDOS 2.04
or greater. Binary only, public domain.
Author: Garrick Meeker
NoteIt! Another Post-It© style utility. Can be started by either
the CLI, or from the Workbench. Several parameters (or
ToolTypes) supported. Requires OS2.x, version 1.3a,
binary only.
Author: Ryan J. Bruner
Quip "The Fortune Cookie Program From Hell", or quite simply,
the most flexible fortune cookie program ever created on
any platform. It even has its own scripting 'language'
(QuipScript). Documentation in both ASCII and Guide
formats. Requires OS 2.04+, version 0.07e, includes
source in Amiga E. Public domain.
Author: Joseph Edwards Van Riper III
Recall The ultimate reminder-utility for the absent-minded! Can
remind you of events with requsters, alerts or practically
anything that can be displayed on an Amiga monitor. Version
1.4, binary only, public domain.
Author: Ketil Hunn
RunLame A smart degrader, more lame programs work, fixes the follow-
ing lame coding: not considering caches; not considering
the location of the vbr; assuming screenmode is an old chip-
set mode; assuming sprite resolution is lores; turning off
sprite DMA in the wrong way. Comes with a GUI and lots of
user-friendly features. Also includes RunLameInfiltrator,
which enables you to permanently fix lame programs. Version
1.28, has passed an extremely careful beta-testing.
Author: Bilbo the first
SysInfo A brand new release of this popular program. It reports
interesting information about the configuration of your
Amiga, including some speed comparisons with other config-
urations, versions of the OS software, and much more.
Version 3.22, an update to version 3.18 on disk 860.
Binary only.
Author: Nic Wilson
TimeCalc Well, I never found a decent timecode calculator, so here is
one that works correctly (For me at any rate) with EBU and
SMPTE timecodes (SMPTE DropFrame is not currently supported).
It has clever string gadgets that make timecode entry a
breeze. Timecode entry routines are part of the "Diamond
Edit" package which is a single frame recorder for the PAL
environment (soon for NTSC) that is a very powerful and cost
effective means of recording hires 24bit animations to video
tape for playback at a full frame rate (for professional
VTRs only). Version 1.0, binary only, requires OS2.x.
Author: Paul Huxham
Unpacker An appicon utility for extracting archives. It chooses the
archiver to use by the suffix, eg. '.lha', '.zip' or '.zoo'.
You can configure UnPacker for any other arc-program you
want to use by changing the tooltypes of the icon. Version
1.1, binary only.
Author: Erik Sagalara
WindowDaemon Gives extended control to intuition windows and screens
through HotKeys and Arexx. Features: Commodities Support;
HotKey and Arexx support to manipulate the currently active
window and screen. Standard window controls are avalable
such as Zip, Close, Size, ToFront, ToBack, NextScreen, etc.
Able to close the parent window of a drawer when opened on
"Workbench" if CONTROL is held down. (Only available under
kickstart V39 or higher); Specialized options to forcefully
close windows and screens, and also to remove tasks that own
the active window. Version 1.0, binary only.
Author: David Swasbrook
xpkdisk `xpkdisk.device' is an exec-style device that looks like
trackdisk.device and similar disks. The difference is that
it compresses its data and stores it in multiple files in
an existing filesystem. It uses the XPK (eXternal PacKer)
standard to do the actual compression. Version 37.2,
includes source.
