CONTENTS OF December 1993 Fresh Fish CDROM 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. Note that not all the material on the CD-ROM appears in a Contents file somewhere, so the list of programs found in this file is only a subset of what is actually on the CD-ROM. As an example, none of the 180Mb or so of material under useful/dist appears here. I'm still working on a better method for finding specific programs or types of programs. STRUCTURE OF THE CD-ROM ----------------------- The CD-ROM is 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 107Mb, broken down as follows: 11Mb Archived (BBS ready) contents of disks 931-950 17Mb Unarchived (ready-to-run) contents of disks 931-950 22Mb Archived "new material" not in floppy distribution 57Mb 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 for each Fresh Fish CD-ROM, is 215Mb, broken down as follows: 2Mb Content lists of floppy disks 1-950. 4Mb Reviews of Amiga software and hardware 4Mb Full BSD source for supplied BSD executables. 4Mb CBM header files, libraries, and developer tools. 22Mb Misc useful tools, libraries, etc. 25Mb Binary executables, libraries, and other "runtime" things. 33Mb PasTeX source, fonts, binaries, etc. 121Mb Full GNU source for supplied GNU executables. The portion of the disk dedicated to old material is 278Mb, broken down as follows: 12Mb Archived (BBS ready) contents of material from Oct Fresh Fish CD-ROM that was not in floppy distribution. 28Mb Unarchived contents of material from Oct Fresh Fish CD-ROM that was not included in the floppy distribution. 130Mb Archived (BBS ready) contents of floppy disks 650-930. 108Mb Unarchived contents of floppy disks 800-930. 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 is solid and that the binaries are in fact recreatable from the supplied source code. bash diffutils gas groff make tar bc doschk gawk gzip patch termcap binutils emacs gcc indent perl texinfo bison fileutils gdbm ispell rcs textutils cpio find gmp libg++ sed uuencode dc flex grep m4 shellutils 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 c++ gawk lha sed ARTM cat gcc lkbib sh AZap chgrp gcc-2.3.3 ln size AmigaGuide chksum gcc-2.5.7 locate sleep DiskSalv chmod gccv logname sort ExpungeXRef chown gccv-2.3.3 look split IView ci gccv-2.5.7 ls strip Installer cksum gdir m4 sum LHArc cmp genclass make tac LHWarp co geqn makeinfo tail Less comm gindxbib merge tapemon LoadXRef cp ginfo mg tar MKProto cpio ginstall mkdir tee MuchMore csplit glookbib mkfifo test MuchMore.info cut gneqn mknod testdbm NewZAP date gnroff mv testgdbm PerfMeter dc gperf nice testndbm RSys dd gpic nl texi2dvi SD df grefer nm texindex SnoopDos diff grep nroff tfmtodit SuperDuper diff3 grodvi od touch SysInfo dirname groff paste tr Viewtek doschk grog patch true WDisplay du grops pathchk unexpand XIcon echo grotty pfbtops uniq Xoper egrep gsoelim pr unprotoize [ emacs gtbl printenv uudecode addftinfo env gtroff printf uuencode afmtodit etags gunzip protoize vdir ar expand gzip psbb vt as expr head ranlib wc awk false id rcs who basename fgrep ident rcsdiff whoami bc find indent rcsmerge xargs bison flex ispell rlog yes brik flushlibs join rm zcat bsd-make fold ksh rmdir zoo bsplit g++ ld sdiff Contents of Floppy Disks 650-930 -------------------------------- Because there is only one previous Fresh Fish CD-ROM from which to rep- licate material from previous months, I've elected to use the contents of floppy disks 650-930 to fill that portion of the CD-ROM. Some of these are only available in the archived (BBS ready) form. Contents of new/AmigaLibDisks/Disk931 ------------------------------------- Comgraph A powerful function plotter.

SIRDS are Single-Image-Random-Dot- Stereograms and are "real" three-dimensional pictures. The dots (which seem random) are calculated in such a way that if you focus "behind" the picture (monitor, etc), you will see a 3D pic with a real feeling of "depth". It can be hard to see the pics the first time, but don't give up! Most people succeed in seeing them, though it may take some time. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Martin Rebas Contents of new/gfx/anim ------------------------ AA-Spot A little animation which shows some abilities of the new AA-Chipset. Supports only the PAL-mode.

Version 1.0a, binary only, shareware. Author: Tonny Espeset TSMorph A morphing package consisting of three programs: TSMorph to edit the Morph parameters; TSMorph-render to generate the morphed images; and TSMorph-prefs, a Preferences editor. Morphs and Warps can be performed on static images or a series of images. All processing is done using 24-bit colour internally. Images in most ILBM formats, GIF, JPG and PPM can be read, and ILBM 24, Greyscale (16 and 256), PPM, HAM6 and HAM8 format images saved. OpalVision and DCTV format files are also catered for. Version 2.3, includes source. Author: Topicsave Limited Contents of new/gfx/misc ------------------------ ADProRunner ADPro is a great program, but it requires alot of memory. Sometimes you need 3 MB or more to convert a picture. It is possible to specify memory-usage in the ADPro icon or from the shell but this can be awkward. If you do not specify memory size, ADPro takes the largest free hunk of memory, and leaves you with only small hunks left. This may result in loaders, savers and operators being loaded into chip memory, which is dead slow on an accelerated Amiga. With ADProRunner you can easily control ADPro's memory usage each time you run it. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Øyvind Falch & Morten Johnsen GROBSaver A saver module for GVP's ImageFX Image Processing package. It allows you to save an image in Hewlett Packard's GROB (GRaphical OBject) format, suitable to be downloaded into any of Hewlett Packard's HP48-series calculators. If you don't own an HP48(s,sx,g,gx) this program won't do anything useful for you. Version 1.03, binary only. Author: Greg Simon ImageDex A utility program that will take a series of image files (any format) and create an image index of scaled down "thumb-nail" pictures, labelled appropriately. The program acts as a graphic front-end to Art Department Professional 2.2 (or higher). Useful for catalogging images, textures and anim frames, allowing them to be stored off the main system. Author: Zach Williams, Precision Imagery PatchDT A program that patches a few functions in the datatypes library in order to speed up the Workbench screen update when using datatypes objects as backdrops in the workbench windows. This is only useful with graphics cards such as the Piccolo or GVP Spectrum; you will see no speedup when using the native Amiga graphics. Requires 68020+ and WB3.0+. Includes source. Author: Stefan Boberg Contents of new/gfx/opal ------------------------ Wacom This Commodity enables you to use a pressure sensitive digitizer tablet from Wacom with your Commodore Amiga.

Further- more the (pressure-sensitive) data provided by the tablet can be exported in custom applications using a documented software interface. Version 1.0, requires AmigaOS 2.04+. English and German documentation. Localized. Binary only, but includes some sample source in C that shows the usage of the software interface. Shareware. Author: Roland Schwingel Contents of new/gfx/show ------------------------ EGSdvi A program which runs under the EGS window system. It is used to preview DVI files, such as are produced by TeX. EGSDVI requires EGS version 6 or higher. This program has the capability of showing the file shrunken by various (integer) factors, and also has a `magnifying glass' which allows one to see a small part of the unshrunk image momen- tarily. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Dietmar Heidrich EGSPrint This program prints the contents of the frontmost screen, no matter what depth it has or if it's a true EGS screen or a screen of an EGS workbench emulation. This even works if there's no EGS at all or if the screen has a colour resolution of 24 bits (but then, only 12 bits are printed as the printer device supports no more than that). EGSPrint needs a lot of memory, especially for EGS screens, and requires EGS version 6 or higher. Binary only. Author: Dietmar Heidrich EGSShow A viewing program for GIF and JPEG files on the EGS window system. This program is able to read the JPEG format as well as the GIF formats GIF87a, GIF89a and all future GIF files compatible with both of the above. The format of the file is detected automatically. EGSShow needs a lot of memory for bigger pictures ( > 640 x 480) and requries EGS version 6 or higher. Binary only. Author: Dietmar Heidrich Contents of new/gfx/view ------------------------ MegaView A "Multi-View" kind of program for use with Workbench 2.0+. It uses the whatis.library (included) to recognize the file type then invoke a filetype-specific program. MegaView can be used from the Shell, from Workbench, as Default Tool in project icons, as an AppIcon or as an App-MenuItem. Version 2.0, an update to version 1.03 on disk number 908, public domain, includes source. Enhancements include localization and a GUI-based FileActions editor. Author: Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden, Whatis.library by Sylvain Rougier and Pierre Carette Contents of new/hard/drivr -------------------------- ZeusSCSI Some programs that attempt to apply a patch to the Progressive Peripherals Incorporated Zeus SCSI driver. This patch includes a patch to use the Wait/Signal mech- anism to wait for the completion of SCSI I/O instead of the "busy-wait" poll method used by the driver. (These programs will only patch the 2.98 version of the Zeus ROM.) Author: Michael L. Hitch Contents of new/hard/misc ------------------------- AutoXA Loads a small program into your system that automatically adds the memory that you have installed on a MicroBotics M1230XA card every time you reboot, this routine survives a reboot, and makes the memory available to the system software *much* earlier in the boot-up process. This results in almost all of the system's data being loaded into much faster XA memory, rather than Chip memory. It also frees up about 245 kilobytes of Chip memory that graphic or music programs might need. Version 1.00, binary only. Author: Mike Pinson, MicroBotics, Inc. EPROMmer New software (use WB2.0 or higher) for a hardware project originally by Bob Blick and Udi Finkelstein. EPROMmer programs 2716 - 27512 and can also load SRAM's 6216,6264, 62256.

Author: Joe Korczynsk, ABCUG User Group Contents of new/misc/emu ------------------------ TransNib A fast, simple parallel data transfer protocol. It was designed to make linking any type of machine to any other type as easy as possible. All that is required is six 5V I/O lines at each end. It doesn't matter how fast or slow each machine is, as the protocol uses a two-line handshake procedure, ensuring the two machines cannot possibly go out of sync. Any two computers supporting the TransNib V1.00 protocol can be linked. So far, front-ends exist for Amiga and the Commodore 64. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Matt Francis Z80 Zilog Z80 CPU emulator package for the Motorola M68000 family. It is coded entirely in 680x0 assembler, and is probably the fastest existing Z80 emulator for this pro- cessor family, while retaining complete generality. It was developed on an Amiga, but should be possible to use on any 680x0-based computer without any modifications. Version 0.99b, freeware, includes source. Author: Richard Carlsson Contents of new/misc/sci ------------------------ cP A data viewing program capable of plotting two dimensional data in both linear or log space with or without symbols.

You may specify a task name, or information about all tasks and processes currently in the system will be displayed. Version 1.34, binary only. Author: Trevor Andrews SSearch Does nearly the same thing as the AmigaDOS's search command but faster. Example: searching for "foobar" in the C= Autodocs (plus some other Autodocs, 82 files, 1937 KBytes) requires 78 seconds with search and 14 seconds with ssearch on the author's machine (A3000/030-25). SSearch has two additional features compared to search: you can search case sensitive, which is even faster than case insensitive, and you can switch off printing of file names. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Stefan Sticht SSplit A small utility that allows you to split one big file into several small files. Useful for splitting up large files for transporting or storing on floppies. Includes templates to split files to the exact size for storing on OFS, FFS, and low and high density MSDOS disks.

Author: David Ekholm MFRhelp If you are user of the great MagicFileRequester v2.0(d/e) by Stefan Stuntz and of the new CygnusEd 3.5 you probably have noticed, that the CygnusEd 3.5 refuses to load a single file if the MagicFileRequester is installed. Now, to get rid of this problem you can do the following things: remove the MagicFileRequester (probably the worst idea you ever had...:-) ); open always more than one file at the same time (not a good solution); install MFRHelp (that would be fine!). Version 0.20, includes assembler source. Author: Daniel Weber MuiEnv An MUI application for the manipulation of environment variables. MuiEnv can edit, save, load, delete, and rename environment variables, and supports subdirectories. Requires AmigaOS 2.04+ and MagicUserInterface by Stefan Stuntz. Binary only. Author: Michael Suelmann MultiUser Allows you to create a Unix-like environment where several users live together in harmony, unable to delete each others files, unable to read those private love-letters of other users... And this even if several users are working on the machine at the same time (on a terminal hooked up to the serial port) Version 1.5, an update to version 1.4 on disk number 905, requires OS2.04+ and a hard drive, binary only. Author: Geert Uytterhoeven PPrefs A screen mode promotion utility, Features: supports general screen promotion rules; keeps lists of exceptions (screens and tasks); exceptions could be promoted differently or kept; can use BestModeID() under 3.0 to determine best suitable screen mode (offers some options to control); preferences editor with font-sensitive, localized GUI; saves preferences to IFF file.

Well, there are plenty of public domain products on the market that will prevent that from happening. But, do you also want to: Keep track of the re- maining days to important events? Keep track of the days since important events happened? Autostart certain programs depending on the date and time? Be reminded every # day (eg. every 14th day)? Be reminded # days in advance or after the event? Be reminded with requesters, alerts or practically anything that can be displayed on a Amiga monitor? Display unlimited lines of text in the same requester/alert? Recall does all this plus much more. Version 1.7, includes source. Author: Ketil Hunn SSL Special Support Library. A library designed to simplify development of assembly programs. Version 3.0, binary only, example source included. Requires V37 or higher. Author: Martin Mares, MJSoft System Software StickIt A computer replacement for the ol' Post-It note.

Version 2.0, binary only. Requires OS3.x. Author: Eric G. Suchanek, Ph.D. Contents of new/os30/util ------------------------- HFK Yet another TitleBar clock that tries to look like part of your Workbench title bar. It actually opens a very small, nondraggable window in the upper right corner of the screen. HFK opens on the default public screen, which will usually be Workbench. HFK uses almost 0% of CPU time, as it is written very efficiently in C, taking advantage of the timer.device, and only once a minute to render the time. Version 39.45, an update to version 39.35 on disk number 908. Requires Workbench 3.0, binary only. Author: Herbert West Promotor Allows you to promote screens to any mode you wish. You can give instructions for specific screens, give general promotion rules, promote depending on the mode requested by the program, or depending on: the task requesting the screen, the title of the screen or the public screen name for the requested screen. You can also do more than simply change the mode, You can change the DriPens for the screens, the number of colors in the ColorMap, and a lot more (check out the tags for OpenScreenTags, most of them can be changed using the Promotor). Version 1.9, binary only. Author: Kurt Haenen SCR An AGA Screen Color Requester. The standard Amiga 3.0 Preferences Palette Requester is very limited in that it only operates on the first eight screen colors. Screen Color Requester solves this problem for AGA Amigas by providing palette controls that allow you to change, copy, swap, spread, and cycle all individual colors of the work- bench or any public screen. You can also load and save modified screen palettes for various applications. AmigaDOS 3.0 is required. If you are a programmer, you can link the included object file with your own programs and save your- self the work of programming a color requester of your own. Author: Richard Horne Contents of new/os30/wb ----------------------- ProcurePens Uses the V39 graphics.library function ObtainPen() to lock, or procure, a pen. The idea here is that you call this program from your user-startup, so that it gets run every time you boot. This way, you can have a standard setup for colors beyond the eight that Palette Preferences allows. You can lock all available pens for exclusive use, if you wanted to. With the pens locked and set on startup, you can use those extra colors in Workbench icons (though you may have to use IconEdit 2.x to get them to work in 16 colors), Dock icons, console escape colors (multicolor CLI prompts), and other cool stuff.

Contents of new/text/font ------------------------- MetaFont MetaFont is the name of a computer font generation system invented by Prof. Donald E. Knuth of Stanford University. It reads text files prepared with `programs' that specify the outline of characters in fonts of type, graphical symbols, or other elements for printing high quality docu- ments. Typesetting systems like 'TeX' make use of the font metric information produced by MetaFont and printer drivers or screen previewers make use of the pixel information as to where to put the `ink.' The usage of the associated programs is described to some detail, but no introduction to the MetaFont language itself is given. Version 2.71, binary only. Author: Donald E. Knuth, amiga port by Andreas Scherer TimesFont A 3-D font for Reflections 2.03+, in ready to use alpha1 format. Contains only the capital letters. The full version including small letters, numbers and German special icons is available from the author. Binary only, shareware. Author: Karin Siegmann Contents of new/text/misc ------------------------- JemTeX Some programs to enable Japanese typesetting. "fontable" produces a Japanese file (fontable.jem) which contains all the available Japanese fonts in a tabular style. It has to be run through "Jem2tex" which produces the TeX-file "fontable.tex". Finally, "jis2mf" produces .mf-sourcecode for Metafont and affiliated tools to generate printer-fonts for TeX. jis2mf reads the data from the jis24 bitmap-file. Version 2.00, includes source. Author: Francois Jalbert, amiga port by Wilfried Solbach JISConvert This simple mouse driven conversion program can convert Japanese language text between a variety of formats.
