AmigaWorld    3.1    Database of information of all countries

A database program that contains information about every
country on Earth.  It enables you to have a look at the data
of one country, or to compare several ones.  Among other things
it displays location, capital, area, population, languages,
currency and the flag of each country.  Other features are
information on international organizations and map display.
AmigaWorld is very easy to handle, and you can choose between
English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Swedish, Danish and
Finnish output. New features include map display and text information
about continents.

db    2.2    Small and fast database program

db is a small and fast database program that the author wrote after
having tested numerous other PD database programs and always finding
something lacking or irritating.  They might have had dozens of features
not found in db, but they lacked font sensitivity and a standard GUI
look and OS 3.0 behavior.

A partial list of db's features include:
    o Dynamic memory handling. Number of records and fields only
      limited by free memory.
    o GadTool based, gives a standard look and feel.
    o Mouse and keyboard driven.
    o User definable fields and layout.
    o Multiple views of the same database.
    o Commodore's Clipboard for flexible interaction with other programs.
    o AppWindow -just drag and drop database icons on db to load.
    o Online MenuHelp -Press HELP key when selecting a menu item.
    o Font sensitivity.
    o ARexx
    o ASL requesters for flexible loads and saves.
    o Localized
    o Dial numbers using a modem
    o WB and Shell usage with Commodore's template parsing
    o Fast and flexible find function using AmigaDOS patterns.
    o Filter function.
    o Fast and flexible sort function.  Multiple sort orders can be
      specified.
    o 'Export View' and two standard ASCII export features.
    o Automatic ASCII import (tab-separated ASCII)

UPSey will translate ZIP Codes to UPS Zones.  UPSey is a commodity that
is available to you from any program, just press the Control Alt and the
'u' keys at the same time.  UPSey requires a text file, called a 'database'

INetUtils    1.3    Internet Utilities for the Amiga

INetUtils is a series of programs designed to allow an Amiga running AS-225
beta 2.0 software (i.e., socket.library capable) or AmiTCP 2.2 (or above) to
interact and operate as fully functioning members of an IP network,  including
the global InterNet.

INetUtils is freely distributable.

The utility programs consist of:

    SMTPd        : an SMTP daemon
    SMTPpost    : an SMTP posting program
    SMTPExpand  : an SMTP aliases expanding program
    NNTPpost    : an NNTP posting program
    NNTPXfer    : an NNTP article transfer program
    newgroup    : a maintenance program for use with NNTP
    GetActive   : an NNTP active file transfer program
    AmiPOP        : a POP message handler
    Sabot        : A newmail activity program

a NNTPd is in development, but is not included in this archive.

The following man pages are included:

    SMTPd.man
    SMTPpost.man
    SMTPExpand.man
    NNTPpost.man
    NNTPxfer.man
    GetActive.man

and describe the operation of each program.

To install INetUtils, see the document named INSTALL included in this
archive.

For basic help in getting SMTPd running, the following script is also
included:

    StartSMTPd

which is heavily commented.

AmiPOP and Sabot were developed by Scott Ellis ([e-mail])
and all communication regarding them should be directed to him. Separate
documentation regarding them is included in the AmiPOP and Sabot archives.

To properly utilize the NNTP capability requires an NNTP aware newsreader
and a mailreader. The 'G' package is presented to meet this need.

GRn is Gadtools Read News, which can properly read and post with articles
via NNTP directly or read with the local directory setup by NNTPXfer, and
post directly using NNTPpost. Documentation is available in AmigaGuide
format (GRn.guide).

GMail, Gadtools Mail, is still in development, and is not included in this
archive.

AmigaELM and the DMail from AmigaUUCP are quite satisfactory for reading mail.

ACE    2.0    FreeWare Amiga BASIC compiler + extras

ACE is a FreeWare Amiga BASIC compiler which, in conjunction with A68K
and Blink produces standalone executables.

The language defines a large subset of AmigaBASIC but also has many
features not found in the latter such as: turtle graphics, recursion,
SUBs with return values, structures, arguments, include files, a
better WAVE command which allows for large waveforms, external
references, named constants and a variety of other commands and
functions not found in AmigaBASIC.

New features in version 2.0 include: gadgets, three standard requester
types, serial I/O and menus (with optional command-keys for menu
items). New commands and functions for this version include EXIT FOR,
PTAB, SPC, DEF FN, ON ERROR and ERR (these last two handle file and
serial I/O at present). INPUT and PRINT can now be used transparently
for all screen/window combinations.

All user-defined windows are now fully-configurable and may be used in
conjunction with screens as per AmigaBASIC. Window close event
trapping is also a new feature.

In addition to event trapping, ACE now supports WAITing for both menus
and gadgets. Waiting is more operating-system-friendly than event
trapping.

A simple graphical front-end (Integrated Development Environment) is
also provided with the archive. This is written in ACE.

Amiga Turbo Modula-2    V1.0d    New compiler for use with all Amigas

This is a freely distributable demonstration version of a (PIM4) Modula-2
development system. Amiga Turbo Modula-2 consists of:

A compiler(M2C), a link utility(M2L), an error lister(M2E),
and a program builder(M2B).
Interface modules for V40 of the AmigaOS & corresponding linker library,
ANSI C standard library definitions as well as those from PIM.

The compiler reads source code in a single pass which means fast
compilation. Internally however it performs several passes over each
procedures statement sequence in order to generate fast and compact code.
Typically, generated code is 25% smaller & 75% faster than the ($200)
commercial Amiga Modula-2 compiler used for the initial bootstraps.
Amiga Turbo Modula-2 is a new compiler developed for use with all Amigas.
Its most notable features are:

o Interface modules for V40 of the Amiga operating system.

o Sun Modula-2 like DEFINITION FOR C MODULE's allow access to
ANSI C standard library functions.

o Fast single pass compilation with extremely accurate error diagnostics.

o High quality code generation.
Code is typically 75% faster than code generated by the (ETH derived)
commercial compiler used for the initial bootstrap, the drystone
benchmark runs over twice as fast.

o Residentable code support (64K global variable limit).

o Includes a system builder (no messing about with makefiles).

o Low shareware fee, 25 pounds sterling or 40 US dollars.

This little program tries to strip all symbol and debug hunks from

these informations, it's probably a good idea to remove these infos.
They don't carry ANY information, the executable needs to be run.

CacheIt    1.0    Small floppy-caching commodity

I don't use floppy disks very often. But when I used them I was
bored by the slow speed.
To get rid of this, I wrote CacheIt. CacheIt is a small floppy-
caching commodity that hardly doesn't take up any memory when no
disks are in drive and gives a great speed up for your floppies.

Another requirement for CacheIt was, that it would free its memory
when the system needs it. This is done by a low memory handler.
It works fantastically: I worked a lot with disks and my system
was down at 10 KB Chip and 10 KB FastMem, when I tried to start
a terminal program.
No problem: CacheIt released as much track buffers as necessary
and the terminal program started!

CacheIt works with DD and HD floppy drives.

mkisofs    1.00.5    Simple ISO-9660 pre-mastering utility.

A pre-mastering program to generate an ISO-9660 filesystem.  It takes
a snapshot of a given directory tree, and generates a binary image
which will correspond to an ISO-9660 filesystem when written to a
block device.

It is also capable of generating the System Use Sharing Protocol
records specified by the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol.  This is
used to further describe the files in the ISO-9660 filesystem to a
unix host, and provides information such as longer filenames, uid/gid,
posix permissions, and block and character devices.

Each file written to the ISO-9660 filesystem must have a filename in
the 8.3 format (8 characters, period, 3 characters, all upper case),
even if Rock Ridge is in use.  This filename is used on systems that
are not able to make use of the Rock Ridge extensions (such as
MS-DOS), and each filename in each directory must be different from
the other filenames in the same directory.

mkisofs generally tries to form correct names by forcing the unix
filename to upper case and truncating as required, but often times
this yields unsatisfactory results when there are cases where the
truncated names are not all unique.  mkisofs assigns weightings to
each filename, and if two names that are otherwise the same are found
the name with the lower priority is renamed to have a 3 digit number
as an extension (where the number is guaranteed to be unique).  An
example of this would be the files foo.bar and foo.bar.~1~ - the file
foo.bar.~1~ would be written as FOO.000;1 and the file foo.bar would
be written as FOO.BAR;1.  "path" is the path of the directory tree to
be copied into the ISO-9660 filesystem.

(AmigaDOS Note: The AmigaDOS port relaxes the above restrictions to
produce ISO-9660 level 2 compatible ISO images)

AXlife    1.0    Amiga port of Xlife 2.0

AXlife is based on Xlife, the definitive life program, which runs
under the X-Windows graphical interface (which overlays UNIX). AXlife
incorporates an Amiga-specific interface, but the basic generation
code remains the same as in Xlife 2.0. AXlife can also read files
produced by Al Hensel's IBM PC program 'Life', which has a very
similar format. The most important feature of Xlife (and AXlife) is
that, unlike most life programs, it does not limit the pattern to the
size of the screen. Xlife does not think in terms of a rectangular
grid, but instead considers the pattern to be composed of 8x8 boxes
containing active life elements. This allows Xlife to cope with
arbitrarily large patterns (up to a maximum size of 2^32 by 2^32 (2^32
= 4,294,967,296)). AXlife comes with a large (219) library of example
patterns.

RoachFarm    1.0    Game based on traditional logic puzzle

    Congratulations on your new job as head shipping clerk in the roach
division at Insect Fun Inc.  As you know, Insect Fun Inc. offers a full
line of recreational insect experimentation and observation kits including
its popular Roach Farm Fun Kit.  Your job is to fill test tubes with live
roaches in preparation for shipping so that eager Roach Farm customers may
stock their farms with livestock.  During your work day, you are presented
with test tubes of varying sizes, each containing an arbitrary number of
roaches. They arrive from the breeding centers this way (center workers
tend to scoop up random numbers of roaches).  You are then presented with
an invoice form which lists the quantities of roaches that customers have
ordered.  The first roach quantity on the invoice is for the tube on the
top, the second quantity is for the tube second from the top, and so on.
    Your problem is that you can't move each roach individually from
one tube to another.  Insect Fun Inc. ships only the strongest Brazilian
cockaroaches, so you don't want to pick them out by hand for fear that they
will escape.  To move the roaches, you must connect the tube that you want
to move roaches from (the source tube) to the tube that you want to move
roaches to (the destination tube) with a flexible hose.  By shaking the
source tube slightly, the roaches are coaxed into moving out into the hose
and then into the destination tube.  As you can see, roaches will therefore
keep moving from one tube to the other until either the destination tube is
full or the source tube is empty.  Use the mouse pointer to direct activity
on the computer screen.  Click on the source tube and then on the
destination tube.  Keep doing this until the proper quantities of roaches
are in each of the test tubes.

In a full featured GUI you are able to cut out any portion of a loaded
picture and save it back to disk in a variety of formats. Supported formats
include: ordinary bitplanes, interleaved bitplanes, chunkypixels,
blittermasks, Amiga sprites, IFF ILBMs, workbench icons,
Super Nintendo/Famicom and Sega Megadrive/Genesis charactersets and lots
of variations on these main formats.\n
You can also save the picture's palette in a variety of formats, including
ordinary raw 4, 8, or 32 bits-per-gun, Amiga copperlists, IFF ILBM and more.\n
All saves can be done in either binary, as linkmodules (objectfiles), or in
sourcecode (assembler, C, E or Pascal).\n\n
The pictures which contain your images can be stored in IFF ILBM or any
format you've got datatypes' support for as the datatypes.library supplied
with OS3.0 is used (if present) by PicCon. RAW images and workbench icons
can also be loaded (for e.g. reediting), and PicCon also supports loading
and handling of standard IFF ANIMs.\n\n
Some simple (but, in this context, useful) imageprocessing tools have been
included in PicCon, like pen remapping, palette compression, size and depth
scaling and palette fitting. Other features that have proved very handy for
time-saving purposes are the "gridsave", "autocrop" and "autoscan" functions.
The "autoscan" function makes it possible to process a whole picture full
of images in one operation. The "gridsave" feature lets you save hundreds
of e.g. maptiles for backgroundgraphics in a game in a single command.\n\n

PSFonts    ?.?    14 type1 fonts for Imagine spline editor

Since the release of Imagine 2.9 last November, along with 3.0 a couple of
months ago, it has been a little difficult finding Type I Postscript fonts
that'll work in Imagine's Spline editor.  The reasons for this are varied.

Typically, PS fonts in the Amiga domain have been processed with Gold
Disk's Font Manager or some other utility for use in DTP applications.
Also, these later versions of Imagine have been compiled on a PC and ported
to the Amiga.  Some of the PS fonts have way too much detail and curves,
causing the Spline editor to return an error, or the object comes in as an
axis only.

So I set upon a quest of sorts, downloading Type I Postscript fonts from
various nets and BBSs, and seeing which ones would load into Imagine.
Naturally I cannot claim that the fonts in this archive represent the
majority available to the Amiga user (at least, I sure hope not!), but they
have all been tested and work just fine in 3.0, and presumably, 2.9.

They all are, to the best of my knowledge, in the public domain.  You will
need to play with them a little, checking for duplicate points and coplanar
edges.  But they do look very nice when rendered.  These are the .pfb files
only, just put them in your PSFonts directory and you're ready to go
(rtfm).  In any event, have fun, and keep on rendering!

Also included is a 16 color HiRes IFF of a rendered example of each of the
fonts.

in flight flapping its wings, opening its mouth and turning its head from
side to side.  It shows the use of the Bones feature in Imagine V3.0 to
articulate once static objects.  It could be easily made to wiggle its feet,
blink its eyes, and even land and hop with very little effort. The test anim
was done at quarter-screen to keep the size down. I suggest using ViewTek
at F7 speed for viewing.

SIRDS_GEN    3.8    Single Image Random Dot Stereogram genr.

Single-Image-Random-Dot Stereogram generator.  SIRDSs 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".  This version features:
Function plotting, and viewing as SIRDS; Free choice of screen-mode;
Scaling of the picture; Should run on Graphics cards too (not much tested,
but Picasso II is working); Automatic correction of the eyewidth to the
displaymode; Uses datatypes for reading the picture; 32-bit color
functions used; Uses a symmetric algorithm; Generation of "SIS" possible;
Flimmering, various settings possible, 3 different pattern-modes and more!

APlusPlus    1.01    C++ class library for AmigaDOS functions

The A++ Library is a library written in C++ that consists of classes
assigned to the task of encapsulating the Amiga® system software.  Its
aim is to provide a stable and effective method of programming the
Amiga®. That should include Exec, Dos, Intuition, ARexx, ..just
everything that makes sense being encapsulated with a proper C++ class
interface.

The A++ Library collects the hundreds of system functions, groups them
into classes that 'know' about the specialities of each function and
thus shields the programmer from using them incorrectly.  The C++
programming language provides the object oriented paradigm that holds
no limitations to evolution of existing solutions.

The contents of this archive do not represent a complete and ready to
use tool but the expression of an idea showing promise. It gives only
a slight impression of what is possible. But much more can be done.

Bison is a parser generator in the style of yacc (1).  It should be
upwardly compatible with input files designed for yacc.  Input files
should follow the yacc convention of ending in ".y".  Unlike yacc, the
generated files do not have fixed names, but instead use the prefix of
the input file.  For instance, a grammar description file named
parse.y would produce the generated parser in a file named
parse.tab.c, instead of yacc 's y.tab.c.

cpio    2.3    GNU utility to copy to/from archives.

Cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive, which is a
file that contains other files plus information about them, such as
their pathname, owner, timestamps, and access permissions.  The
archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe.
Cpio has three operating modes.  In copy-out mode, cpio copies files
into an archive.  It reads a list of filenames, one per line, on the
standard input, and writes the archive onto the standard output.  A
typical way to generate the list of filenames is with the find
command; you should give find the -depth option to minimize problems
with permissions on directories that are unwritable or not searchable.

In copy-in mode, cpio copies files out of an archive or lists the
archive contents.  It reads the archive from the standard input.  Any
non-option command line arguments are shell globbing patterns; only
files in the archive whose names match one or more of those patterns
are copied from the archive.  Unlike in the shell, an initial `.' in a
filename does match a wildcard at the start of a pattern, and a `/' in
a filename can match wildcards.  If no patterns are given, all files
are extracted.

In copy-pass mode, cpio copies files from one directory tree to
another, combining the copy-out and copy-in steps without actually
using an archive.  It reads the list of files to copy from the
standard input; the directory into which it will copy them is given as
a non-option argument.

Cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new
ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1 tar.
The binary format is obsolete because it encodes information about the
files in a way that is not portable between different machine
architectures.  The old ASCII format is portable between different
machine architectures, but should not be used on file systems with
more than 65536 i-nodes.  The new ASCII format is portable between
different machine architectures and can be used on any size file
system, but is not supported by all versions of cpio; currently, it is
only supported by GNU and Unix System V R4.  The crc format is like
the new ASCII format, but also contains a checksum for each file which
cpio calculates when creating an archive and verifies when the file is
extracted from the archive.  The HPUX formats are provided for
compatibility with HPUX's cpio which stores device files differently.

The tar format is provided for compatability with the tar program.  It
can not be used to archive files with names longer than 100
characters, and can not be used to archive "special" (block or
character devices) files.  The POSIX.1 tar format can not be used to
archive files with names longer than 255 characters (less unless they
have a "/" in just the right place).

By default, cpio creates binary format archives, for compatibility
with older cpio programs.  When extracting from archives, cpio
automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can
read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.

Some of the options to cpio apply only to certain operating modes; see
the SYNOPSIS section for a list of which options are allowed in which
modes.

diffutils    2.6    GNU diff, diff3, sdiff and cmp utilities

This directory contains the GNU diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp utilities.
Their features are a superset of the Unix features and they are
significantly faster.  cmp has been moved here from the GNU textutils.

Computer users often find occasion to ask how two files differ.
Perhaps one file is a newer version of the other file.  Or maybe the
two files started out as identical copies but were changed by
different people.

You can use the diff command to show differences between two files, or
each corresponding file in two directories.  diff outputs differences
between files line by line in any of several formats, selectable by
command line options.  This set of differences is often called a diff
or patch.  For files that are identical, diff normally produces no
output; for binary (non-text) files, diff normally reports only that
they are different.

You can use the cmp command to show the offsets and line numbers where
two files differ.  Cmp can also show all the characters that differ
between the two files, side by side.

You can use the diff3 command to show differences among three files.
When two people have made independent changes to a common original,
diff3 can report the differences between the original and the two
changed versions, and can produce a merged file that contains both
persons' changes together with warnings about conflicts.

You can use the sdiff command to merge two files interactively.

You can use the set of differences produced by diff to distribute
updates to text files (such as program source code) to other people.
This method is especially useful when the differences are small
compared to the complete files.  Given diff output, you can use the
patch program to update, or patch, a copy of the file.  If you think
of diff as subtracting one file from another to produce their
difference, you can think of patch as adding the difference to one
file to reproduce the other.

emacs    18.59    GNU Emacs editor

GNU Emacs is the GNU incarnation of the advanced, self-documenting,
customizable, extensible real-time display editor Emacs. (The `G' in
`GNU' is not silent.)

We say that Emacs is a "display" editor because normally the text
being edited is visible on the screen and is updated automatically as
you type your commands.

We call it a "real-time" editor because the display is updated very
frequently, usually after each character or pair of characters you
type.  This minimizes the amount of information you must keep in your
head as you edit.

We call Emacs advanced because it provides facilities that go beyond
simple insertion and deletion: filling of text; automatic indentation
of programs; viewing two or more files at once; and dealing in terms
of characters, words, lines, sentences, paragraphs, and pages, as well
as expressions and comments in several different programming
languages.  It is much easier to type one command meaning "go to the
end of the paragraph" than to find that spot with simple cursor keys.

"Self-documenting" means that at any time you can type a special
character, `Control-h', to find out what your options are.  You can
also use it to find out what any command does, or to find all the
commands that pertain to a topic.

"Customizable" means that you can change the definitions of Emacs
commands in little ways.  For example, if you use a programming
language in which comments start with `<**' and end with `**>', you
can tell the Emacs comment manipulation commands to use those strings.
Another sort of customization is rearrangement of the command set.
For example, if you prefer the four basic cursor motion commands (up,
down, left and right) on keys in a diamond pattern on the keyboard,
you can have it.

"Extensible" means that you can go beyond simple customization and
write entirely new commands, programs in the Lisp language to be run
by Emacs's own Lisp interpreter.  Emacs is an "on-line extensible"
system, which means that it is divided into many functions that call
each other, any of which can be redefined in the middle of an editing
session.  Any part of Emacs can be replaced without making a separate
copy of all of Emacs.  Most of the editing commands of Emacs are
written in Lisp already; the few exceptions could have been written in
Lisp but are written in C for efficiency.  Although only a programmer
can write an extension, anybody can use it afterward.

find    3.8    GNU find, xargs, and locate

This package contains the GNU find, xargs, and locate programs.  This
version of find and xargs comply with POSIX 1003.2, and also support
some additional options, some borrowed from Unix and some unique to
GNU.

To gain speed, GNU find now avoids statting files whenever possible.
It does this by: (1) Checking the number of links to directories and
not statting files that it knows aren't directories until it
encounters a test or action that needs the stat info.  (2) Rearranging
the command line, where possible, so that it can do tests that don't
require a stat before tests that do, in hopes that the latter will be
skipped because of an OR or AND.  (But it only does this where it will
leave the output unchanged.)

The locate utility is based on James Woods' public domain fast-find
code, which is also distributed with the 4.3BSD find.  Because POSIX
requires `find foo' to have the same effect as `find foo -print', the
fast-find searching has been moved to a separate program, `locate';
the same thing has been done in 4.3BSD-reno/4.4BSD.  If you use
locate, you should run the included `updatedb' script from cron
periodically (typically nightly).

find    3.8    GNU find, xargs, and locate

This package contains the GNU find, xargs, and locate programs.  This
version of find and xargs comply with POSIX 1003.2, and also support
some additional options, some borrowed from Unix and some unique to
GNU.

To gain speed, GNU find now avoids statting files whenever possible.
It does this by: (1) Checking the number of links to directories and
not statting files that it knows aren't directories until it
encounters a test or action that needs the stat info.  (2) Rearranging
the command line, where possible, so that it can do tests that don't
require a stat before tests that do, in hopes that the latter will be
skipped because of an OR or AND.  (But it only does this where it will
leave the output unchanged.)

The locate utility is based on James Woods' public domain fast-find
code, which is also distributed with the 4.3BSD find.  Because POSIX
requires `find foo' to have the same effect as `find foo -print', the
fast-find searching has been moved to a separate program, `locate';
the same thing has been done in 4.3BSD-reno/4.4BSD.  If you use
locate, you should run the included `updatedb' script from cron
periodically (typically nightly).

flex    2.4.7    Fast lexical analyzer generator

Flex is a tool for generating scanners, programs which recognized
lexical patterns in text.  Flex reads the given input files, or its
standard input if no file names are given, for a description of a
scanner to generate.  The description is in the form of pairs of
regular expressions and C code, called rules.  Flex generates as
output a C source file, lex.yy.c, which defines a routine yylex().
This file is compiled and linked with the -lfl library to produce an
executable.  When the executable is run, it analyzes its input for
occurrences of the regular expressions.  Whenever it finds one, it
executes the corresponding C code.

gdb    4.12    GNU debugger (incomplete port)

The purpose of a debugger such as GDB is to allow you to see what is
going on "inside" another program while it executes, or what another
program was doing at the moment it crashed.

GDB can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of
these) to help you catch bugs in the act: (1) start your program,
specifying anything that might affect its behavior, (2) make your
program stop on specified conditions, (3) examine what has happened,
when your program has stopped, (4) change things in your program, so
you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to
learn about another.

You can use GDB to debug programs written in C, C++, and Modula-2.
Fortran support will be added when a GNU Fortran compiler is ready.

gmp    1.3.2    Arbitrary precision math library.

GNU MP is a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on
signed integers and rational numbers.  It has a rich set of functions,
and the functions have a regular interface.

The author has tried to make these functions as fast as possible, both
for small operands and for huge operands.  The speed is achieved by
using fullwords as the basic arithmetic type, by using fast
algorithms, by defining inline assembler for mixed sized
multiplication and division (i.e 32*32->64 bit multiplication and
64/32->32,32 bit division), and by hacking the code with emphasis on
speed (and not simplicity and elegance).

The speed of GNU MP is about 5 to 100 times that of Berkeley MP for
small operands.  The speed-up increases with the operand sizes for
certain operations, for which GNU MP has asymptotically faster
algorithms.

gzip    1.2.4    GNU compressing/decompressing programs

Gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding
(LZ77).  Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the
extension .gz, while keeping the same ownership modes, access and
modification times.  (The default extension is -gz for VMS, z for
MSDOS, OS/2 FAT, Windows NT FAT and Atari.) If no files are specified,
or if a file name is "-", the standard input is compressed to the
standard output.  Gzip will only attempt to compress regular files.
In particular, it will ignore symbolic links.

If the compressed file name is too long for its file system, gzip
truncates it.  Gzip attempts to truncate only the parts of the file
name longer than 3 characters.  (A part is delimited by dots.) If the
name consists of small parts only, the longest parts are truncated.
For example, if file names are limited to 14 characters,
gzip.msdos.exe is compressed to gzi.msd.exe.gz.  Names are not
truncated on systems which do not have a limit on file name length.

By default, gzip keeps the original file name and timestamp in the
compressed file. These are used when decompressing the file with the
-N option.  This is useful when the compressed file name was truncated
or when the time stamp was not preserved after a file transfer.

Compressed files can be restored to their original form using gzip -d
or gunzip or zcat. If the original name saved in the compressed file
is not suitable for its file system, a new name is constructed from
the original one to make it legal.

gunzip takes a list of files on its command line and replaces each
file whose name ends with .gz, -gz, .z, -z, _z or .Z and which begins
with the correct magic number with an uncompressed file without the
original extension.  gunzip also recognizes the special extensions
".tgz" and ".taz" as shorthands for .tar.gz and .tar.Z respectively.
When compressing, gzip uses the .tgz extension if necessary instead of
truncating a file with a .tar extension.

gunzip can currently decompress files created by gzip, zip, compress,
compress -H or pack. The detection of the input format is automatic.
When using the first two formats, gunzip checks a 32 bit CRC. For
pack, gunzip checks the uncompressed length. The standard compress
format was not designed to allow consistency checks.  However gunzip
is sometimes able to detect a bad .Z file. If you get an error when
uncompressing a .Z file, do not assume that the .Z file is correct
simply because the standard uncompress does not complain.  This
generally means that the standard uncompress does not check its input,
and happily generates garbage output.  The SCO compress -H format (lzh
compression method) does not include a CRC but also allows some
consistency checks.

Files created by zip can be uncompressed by gzip only if they have a
single member compressed with the 'deflation' method. This feature is
only intended to help conversion of tar.zip files to the tar.gz
format. To extract zip files with several members, use unzip instead
of gunzip.

zcat is identical to gunzip -c. (On some systems, zcat may be
installed as gzcat to preserve the original link to compress.) zcat
uncompresses either a list of files on the command line or its
standard input and writes the uncompressed data on standard output.
zcat will uncompress files that have the correct magic number whether
they have a .gz suffix or not.

Gzip uses the Lempel-Ziv algorithm used in zip and PKZIP.  The amount
of compression obtained depends on the size of the input and the
distribution of common substrings.  Typically, text such as source
code or English is reduced by 60-70%.  Compression is generally much
better than that achieved by LZW (as used in compress), Huffman coding
(as used in pack), or adaptive Huffman coding (compact).

Compression is always performed, even if the compressed file is
slightly larger than the original. The worst case expansion is a few
bytes for the gzip file header, plus 5 bytes every 32K block, or an
expansion ratio of 0.015% for large files. Note that the actual number
of used disk blocks almost never increases.  gzip preserves the mode,
ownership and timestamps of files when compressing or decompressing.

ispell    4.0    GNU spelling checker

Ispell is a program that helps you to correct typos in a file, and to
find the correct spelling of words.  When presented with a word that
is not in the dictionary, ispell attempts to find near misses that
might include the word you meant.

The best way to use ispell is with GNU EMACS.  For documentation about
this mode, see the info topic "ispell".

Ispell can also be used by itself, and in this case the most common
usage is "ispell filename".  If ispell finds a word that is not in the
dictionary, it is printed at the top of the screen.  Ispell then
checks the dictionary for near misses \- words that differ only by a
single letter, a missing or extra letter, or a pair of transposed
letters.  Any that are found are printed on the following lines, and
finally, two lines of context containing the word are printed at the
bottom of the screen.  If your terminal can type in reverse video, the
word itself is highlighted.

If you think the word is correct as it stands, you can type either
"Space" to accept it this one time, "A" to accept it for the rest of
this file, or "I" to accept it and put it in your private dictionary.
If one of the near misses is the word you want, type the corresponding
number.  Finally, you can type "R" and you will be prompted for a
replacement word.  The string you type will be broken into words, and
each one will also be checked.  You can also type "?" for help.

If ispell is started with no arguments, it enters a loop reading words
from the standard input, and printing messages about them on the
standard output.  You can use this mode to find the spelling of a
problem word.

The ixemul.library provides a Unix emulation environment for the Amiga.
This makes porting of typical Unix applications very easy, with almost
no changes required to the Unix source code.

This archive contains two versions of the runtime dynamic library
"ixemul.library" that is needed by Amiga binaries that have been
compiled to use this environment.  It also contains a couple of
auxiliary programs, "ixconfig" and "ixtrace", for configuring the

This archive contains the include files, the C runtime startup modules,
the link time library that interfaces to ixemul.library (libc.a), and
the manual pages for the supported functions.

libnix    ?.?    A lib for amiga specific devel with gcc.

This is libnix, a static (i.e. link) library for gcc 2.3.3 or above.
It's not a replacement for ixemul.library (though it's possible to
recompile most of the gcc environment with libnix) but a good thing
for amiga specific development on gcc:

* It's mostly compatible to SAS's way of handling things, i.e.
  you get even an automatic shared library opening feature and
  some other things you may miss in ixemul.library.
  This also means it's ANSI compliant.

* It doesn't need any shared libraries than normal Amiga OS ones.

* It is not copyrighted by the FSF. Therefore you neither need
  to include sources nor objects together with your executable.
  (read the GLGPL _before_ flaming on this statement)

* And it's short! I was able to compile a 492 byte 'hello, world'
  using normal main.

* It uses OS20 features whenever necessary.

To cut it short:

Use ixemul.library for porting Un*x programs, libnix for compiling
amiga-only programs and gcc is one of the best Amiga compilers.

perl    4.036    Practical Extraction and Report Language

Perl is an interpreted language optimized for scanning arbitrary text
files, extracting information from those text files, and printing
reports based on that information.  It's also a good language for many
system management tasks.  The language is intended to be practical
(easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny,
elegant, minimal).  It combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some
of the best features of C, sed, awk, and sh, so people familiar with
those languages should have little difficulty with it.  (Language
historians will also note some vestiges of csh, Pascal, and even
BASIC-PLUS.)  Expression syntax corresponds quite closely to C
expression syntax.

Unlike most Unix utilities, perl does not arbitrarily limit the size
of your data.  If you've got the memory, perl can slurp in your whole
file as a single string.  Recursion is of unlimited depth.  And the
hash tables used by associative arrays grow as necessary to prevent
degraded performance.  Perl uses sophisticated pattern matching
techniques to scan large amounts of data very quickly.  Although
optimized for scanning text, perl can also deal with binary data, and
can make dbm files look like associative arrays (where dbm is
available).  Setuid perl scripts are safer than C programs through a
dataflow tracing mechanism which prevents many stupid security holes.
If you have a problem that would ordinarily use sed or awk or sh, but
it exceeds their capabilities or must run a little faster, and you
don't want to write the silly thing in C, then perl may be for you.
There are also translators to turn your sed and awk scripts into perl
scripts.

ASpringies    1.0    An interactive mass and spring simulator

ASpringies is a simulator which allows you to interactively create
and edit a system of masses and springs.  The parameters of the masses
and springs (such as mass elasticity and spring K) as well as those of
the surrounding system (such as air viscosity and gravity) can be
changed.  These systems can be loaded and saved into a file.

  I guess you could use ASpringies for real work, but it's really

DDLI    3.41    A personality indicator like the MBTI

The DDLI asks you a series of multiple choice questions in order to
determine your psychological type (life pattern).  It measures for the same
sixteen psychological types as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) does:
ENFJ, ENFP, ENTJ, ENTP, ESFJ, ESFP, ESTJ, ESTP, INFJ, INFP, INTJ, INTP,
ISFJ, ISFP, ISTJ, ISTP.  These are based on four sets of preferences:
Extraversion vs. Introversion, iNtuition vs. Sensing, Feeling vs. Thinking,
and Judging vs. Perceiving.  The DDLI has many features that make it easy
to use: It lets you change your answers; It lets you save your answers and
resume later; It lets you skip questions and get back to them; And it
tabulates all the results for you. It also has feautures that the MBTI
doesn't have: It asks you to rank each of your answers; And It asks
questions that measure for preferences that the MBTI doesn't directly
measure for.

GFFT    1.12    FFT spectrum analysis of sample files

GFFT is an FFT-based spectrum analysis program with many features.  By
operating from stored sample data files, it offers higher resolution
and/or accuracy than real-time analyzers.  It accepts 8, 12, or 16-bit
data in in IFF 8SVX, AIFF, and AVR formats, or in unformatted files,
and can accept data points entered through a console in floating
point.\n

GFFT can be operated from either a Workbench GUI or from a CLI in
interactive or batch modes.  It has built-in help facilities for all
operating modes with a 170+ Kb help file.\n

GFFT can produce high quality spectrum plots on screen, plotter, or
printer, or save to Postscript or TeX files, or output spectral data
in text form to a console or file.  (GNUPLOT, a separate program by
other authors, is required for plotting features.  GFFT is designed to
invoke and control GNUPLOT automatically.)  It can plot in 2D
(Amplitude vs Frequency), or 3D (Amplitude vs Frequency vs Time).  It
allows the selection of logarithmic X and/or Y axes, the dB scaling of
X, and arbitrary 3D rotation.  GFFT can show multiple spectra in the
same plot, or append spectral data bands from earlier sessions.\n

GFFT provides 8 selectable FFT window types, including Blackman-Harris
92 dB.  It can apply a special weighting for pink noise testing.
Smoothing, calibration, ranging, and quantization are also available.
There are no arbitrary limits to the number of frequency bins or
smoothing points, or to the length of data which can be analyzed.

SIRDS-Images    ?.?    51 Single Image Random Dot Stereograms.

An archive of 51 miscellaneous Single Image Random Dot Stereograms.

Have you walked through a mall lately? These days, as you wander past
most of the poster shops, there will be a large group of people
staring at the same poster with surprisingly weird expressions on
their faces. Some will be in the initial stages of denial or
rejection---they will be concentrating, some slowly rocking their
heads backwards and forwards, searching for an image that they have
never seen before. Others will be grinning from ear to ear, pointing
at the poster, chuckling with their friends that a member of their
group hasn't seem them yet.  "Come on Bill, come on!", they cry and as
Bill gets increasingly more frustrated he concentrates harder and
harder, until finally (if he's lucky) he sees a true 3D image, without
the need for special glasses or equipment.

These pictures are known as Single Image Random Dot Stereograms
(SIRDS), or Single Image Stereograms (SIS) depending on whether the
picture contains random dots as a base for the 3D effect, or a
repetitive pattern. Unfortunately, each commercial company has
labelled them differently. Shop owners generally don't know what you
mean, unless you say "Hollusion" or one of the many other specific
names.

DropIt!    0.98    Start programs by dropping icons.

DropIt! has been written in order to make the "exploration" of the
public domain disks easier.  More often than not, those disks contain
numerous files which examination needs the use of quite a lot of
different utilities (ILBM reader, text viewer, archive utility, ...).
DropIt! enables you to do this automatically.

To this end, it opens when it is started an icon on the Workbench
screen on which you can put another icon.  The type of the file is
then recognized automatically and the associated program (chosen by
the user) started (an ILBM reader for an image for instance).

APlusPlus    1.01    C++ class library for AmigaDOS functions

The A++ Library is a library written in C++ that consists of classes
assigned to the task of encapsulating the Amiga® system software.  Its
aim is to provide a stable and effective method of programming the
Amiga®. That should include Exec, Dos, Intuition, ARexx, ..just
everything that makes sense being encapsulated with a proper C++ class
interface.

The A++ Library collects the hundreds of system functions, groups them
into classes that 'know' about the specialities of each function and
thus shields the programmer from using them incorrectly.  The C++
programming language provides the object oriented paradigm that holds
no limitations to evolution of existing solutions.

The contents of this archive do not represent a complete and ready to
use tool but the expression of an idea showing promise. It gives only
a slight impression of what is possible. But much more can be done.

configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the
operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4
macro calls.

Autoconf requires GNU m4.  The configuration scripts produced by
Autoconf are independent of Autoconf when they are run, so their users
do not need to have Autoconf (or GNU m4).

bc    1.02    GNU arbitrary precision calculator lang.

A language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with interactive
execution of statements.  There are some similarities in the syntax to
the C programming language.

A standard math library is available by command line option.  If
requested, the math library is defined before processing any files.
bc starts by processing code from all the files listed on the command
line in the order listed.  After all files have been processed, bc
reads from the standard input.  All code is executed as it is read.
(If a file contains a command to halt the processor, bc will never
read from the standard input.)

This version of bc contains several extensions beyond traditional bc
implementations and the POSIX draft standard.  Command line options
can cause these extensions to print a warning or to be rejected.  This
document describes the language accepted by this processor.
Extensions will be identified as such.

Bison is a parser generator in the style of yacc (1).  It should be
upwardly compatible with input files designed for yacc.  Input files
should follow the yacc convention of ending in ".y".  Unlike yacc, the
generated files do not have fixed names, but instead use the prefix of
the input file.  For instance, a grammar description file named
parse.y would produce the generated parser in a file named
parse.tab.c, instead of yacc 's y.tab.c.

cpio    2.3    GNU utility to copy to/from archives.

Cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive, which is a
file that contains other files plus information about them, such as
their pathname, owner, timestamps, and access permissions.  The
archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe.
Cpio has three operating modes.  In copy-out mode, cpio copies files
into an archive.  It reads a list of filenames, one per line, on the
standard input, and writes the archive onto the standard output.  A
typical way to generate the list of filenames is with the find
command; you should give find the -depth option to minimize problems
with permissions on directories that are unwritable or not searchable.

In copy-in mode, cpio copies files out of an archive or lists the
archive contents.  It reads the archive from the standard input.  Any
non-option command line arguments are shell globbing patterns; only
files in the archive whose names match one or more of those patterns
are copied from the archive.  Unlike in the shell, an initial `.' in a
filename does match a wildcard at the start of a pattern, and a `/' in
a filename can match wildcards.  If no patterns are given, all files
are extracted.

In copy-pass mode, cpio copies files from one directory tree to
another, combining the copy-out and copy-in steps without actually
using an archive.  It reads the list of files to copy from the
standard input; the directory into which it will copy them is given as
a non-option argument.

Cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new
ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1 tar.
The binary format is obsolete because it encodes information about the
files in a way that is not portable between different machine
architectures.  The old ASCII format is portable between different
machine architectures, but should not be used on file systems with
more than 65536 i-nodes.  The new ASCII format is portable between
different machine architectures and can be used on any size file
system, but is not supported by all versions of cpio; currently, it is
only supported by GNU and Unix System V R4.  The crc format is like
the new ASCII format, but also contains a checksum for each file which
cpio calculates when creating an archive and verifies when the file is
extracted from the archive.  The HPUX formats are provided for
compatibility with HPUX's cpio which stores device files differently.

The tar format is provided for compatability with the tar program.  It
can not be used to archive files with names longer than 100
characters, and can not be used to archive "special" (block or
character devices) files.  The POSIX.1 tar format can not be used to
archive files with names longer than 255 characters (less unless they
have a "/" in just the right place).

By default, cpio creates binary format archives, for compatibility
with older cpio programs.  When extracting from archives, cpio
automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can
read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.

Some of the options to cpio apply only to certain operating modes; see
the SYNOPSIS section for a list of which options are allowed in which
modes.

diffutils    2.6    GNU diff, diff3, sdiff and cmp utilities

This directory contains the GNU diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp utilities.
Their features are a superset of the Unix features and they are
significantly faster.  cmp has been moved here from the GNU textutils.

Computer users often find occasion to ask how two files differ.
Perhaps one file is a newer version of the other file.  Or maybe the
two files started out as identical copies but were changed by
different people.

You can use the diff command to show differences between two files, or
each corresponding file in two directories.  diff outputs differences
between files line by line in any of several formats, selectable by
command line options.  This set of differences is often called a diff
or patch.  For files that are identical, diff normally produces no
output; for binary (non-text) files, diff normally reports only that
they are different.

You can use the cmp command to show the offsets and line numbers where
two files differ.  Cmp can also show all the characters that differ
between the two files, side by side.

You can use the diff3 command to show differences among three files.
When two people have made independent changes to a common original,
diff3 can report the differences between the original and the two
changed versions, and can produce a merged file that contains both
persons' changes together with warnings about conflicts.

You can use the sdiff command to merge two files interactively.

You can use the set of differences produced by diff to distribute
updates to text files (such as program source code) to other people.
This method is especially useful when the differences are small
compared to the complete files.  Given diff output, you can use the
patch program to update, or patch, a copy of the file.  If you think
of diff as subtracting one file from another to produce their
difference, you can think of patch as adding the difference to one
file to reproduce the other.

emacs    18.59    GNU Emacs editor

GNU Emacs is the GNU incarnation of the advanced, self-documenting,
customizable, extensible real-time display editor Emacs. (The `G' in
`GNU' is not silent.)

We say that Emacs is a "display" editor because normally the text
being edited is visible on the screen and is updated automatically as
you type your commands.

We call it a "real-time" editor because the display is updated very
frequently, usually after each character or pair of characters you
type.  This minimizes the amount of information you must keep in your
head as you edit.

We call Emacs advanced because it provides facilities that go beyond
simple insertion and deletion: filling of text; automatic indentation
of programs; viewing two or more files at once; and dealing in terms
of characters, words, lines, sentences, paragraphs, and pages, as well
as expressions and comments in several different programming
languages.  It is much easier to type one command meaning "go to the
end of the paragraph" than to find that spot with simple cursor keys.

"Self-documenting" means that at any time you can type a special
character, `Control-h', to find out what your options are.  You can
also use it to find out what any command does, or to find all the
commands that pertain to a topic.

"Customizable" means that you can change the definitions of Emacs
commands in little ways.  For example, if you use a programming
language in which comments start with `<**' and end with `**>', you
can tell the Emacs comment manipulation commands to use those strings.
Another sort of customization is rearrangement of the command set.
For example, if you prefer the four basic cursor motion commands (up,
down, left and right) on keys in a diamond pattern on the keyboard,
you can have it.

"Extensible" means that you can go beyond simple customization and
write entirely new commands, programs in the Lisp language to be run
by Emacs's own Lisp interpreter.  Emacs is an "on-line extensible"
system, which means that it is divided into many functions that call
each other, any of which can be redefined in the middle of an editing
session.  Any part of Emacs can be replaced without making a separate
copy of all of Emacs.  Most of the editing commands of Emacs are
written in Lisp already; the few exceptions could have been written in
Lisp but are written in C for efficiency.  Although only a programmer
can write an extension, anybody can use it afterward.

find    3.8    GNU find, xargs, and locate

This package contains the GNU find, xargs, and locate programs.  This
version of find and xargs comply with POSIX 1003.2, and also support
some additional options, some borrowed from Unix and some unique to
GNU.

To gain speed, GNU find now avoids statting files whenever possible.
It does this by: (1) Checking the number of links to directories and
not statting files that it knows aren't directories until it
encounters a test or action that needs the stat info.  (2) Rearranging
the command line, where possible, so that it can do tests that don't
require a stat before tests that do, in hopes that the latter will be
skipped because of an OR or AND.  (But it only does this where it will
leave the output unchanged.)

The locate utility is based on James Woods' public domain fast-find
code, which is also distributed with the 4.3BSD find.  Because POSIX
requires `find foo' to have the same effect as `find foo -print', the
fast-find searching has been moved to a separate program, `locate';
the same thing has been done in 4.3BSD-reno/4.4BSD.  If you use
locate, you should run the included `updatedb' script from cron
periodically (typically nightly).

Flex is a tool for generating scanners, programs which recognized
lexical patterns in text.  Flex reads the given input files, or its
standard input if no file names are given, for a description of a
scanner to generate.  The description is in the form of pairs of
regular expressions and C code, called rules.  Flex generates as
output a C source file, lex.yy.c, which defines a routine yylex().
This file is compiled and linked with the -lfl library to produce an
executable.  When the executable is run, it analyzes its input for
occurrences of the regular expressions.  Whenever it finds one, it
executes the corresponding C code.

The purpose of a debugger such as GDB is to allow you to see what is
going on "inside" another program while it executes, or what another
program was doing at the moment it crashed.

GDB can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of
these) to help you catch bugs in the act: (1) start your program,
specifying anything that might affect its behavior, (2) make your
program stop on specified conditions, (3) examine what has happened,
when your program has stopped, (4) change things in your program, so
you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to
learn about another.

You can use GDB to debug programs written in C, C++, and Modula-2.
Fortran support will be added when a GNU Fortran compiler is ready.

gmp    1.3.2    Arbitrary precision math library.

GNU MP is a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on
signed integers and rational numbers.  It has a rich set of functions,
and the functions have a regular interface.

The author has tried to make these functions as fast as possible, both
for small operands and for huge operands.  The speed is achieved by
using fullwords as the basic arithmetic type, by using fast
algorithms, by defining inline assembler for mixed sized
multiplication and division (i.e 32*32->64 bit multiplication and
64/32->32,32 bit division), and by hacking the code with emphasis on
speed (and not simplicity and elegance).

The speed of GNU MP is about 5 to 100 times that of Berkeley MP for
small operands.  The speed-up increases with the operand sizes for
certain operations, for which GNU MP has asymptotically faster
algorithms.

gzip    1.2.4    GNU compressing/decompressing programs

Gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding
(LZ77).  Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the
extension .gz, while keeping the same ownership modes, access and
modification times.  (The default extension is -gz for VMS, z for
MSDOS, OS/2 FAT, Windows NT FAT and Atari.) If no files are specified,
or if a file name is "-", the standard input is compressed to the
standard output.  Gzip will only attempt to compress regular files.
In particular, it will ignore symbolic links.

If the compressed file name is too long for its file system, gzip
truncates it.  Gzip attempts to truncate only the parts of the file
name longer than 3 characters.  (A part is delimited by dots.) If the
name consists of small parts only, the longest parts are truncated.
For example, if file names are limited to 14 characters,
gzip.msdos.exe is compressed to gzi.msd.exe.gz.  Names are not
truncated on systems which do not have a limit on file name length.

By default, gzip keeps the original file name and timestamp in the
compressed file. These are used when decompressing the file with the
-N option.  This is useful when the compressed file name was truncated
or when the time stamp was not preserved after a file transfer.

Compressed files can be restored to their original form using gzip -d
or gunzip or zcat. If the original name saved in the compressed file
is not suitable for its file system, a new name is constructed from
the original one to make it legal.

gunzip takes a list of files on its command line and replaces each
file whose name ends with .gz, -gz, .z, -z, _z or .Z and which begins
with the correct magic number with an uncompressed file without the
original extension.  gunzip also recognizes the special extensions
".tgz" and ".taz" as shorthands for .tar.gz and .tar.Z respectively.
When compressing, gzip uses the .tgz extension if necessary instead of
truncating a file with a .tar extension.

gunzip can currently decompress files created by gzip, zip, compress,
compress -H or pack. The detection of the input format is automatic.
When using the first two formats, gunzip checks a 32 bit CRC. For
pack, gunzip checks the uncompressed length. The standard compress
format was not designed to allow consistency checks.  However gunzip
is sometimes able to detect a bad .Z file. If you get an error when
uncompressing a .Z file, do not assume that the .Z file is correct
simply because the standard uncompress does not complain.  This
generally means that the standard uncompress does not check its input,
and happily generates garbage output.  The SCO compress -H format (lzh
compression method) does not include a CRC but also allows some
consistency checks.

Files created by zip can be uncompressed by gzip only if they have a
single member compressed with the 'deflation' method. This feature is
only intended to help conversion of tar.zip files to the tar.gz
format. To extract zip files with several members, use unzip instead
of gunzip.

zcat is identical to gunzip -c. (On some systems, zcat may be
installed as gzcat to preserve the original link to compress.) zcat
uncompresses either a list of files on the command line or its
standard input and writes the uncompressed data on standard output.
zcat will uncompress files that have the correct magic number whether
they have a .gz suffix or not.

Gzip uses the Lempel-Ziv algorithm used in zip and PKZIP.  The amount
of compression obtained depends on the size of the input and the
distribution of common substrings.  Typically, text such as source
code or English is reduced by 60-70%.  Compression is generally much
better than that achieved by LZW (as used in compress), Huffman coding
(as used in pack), or adaptive Huffman coding (compact).

Compression is always performed, even if the compressed file is
slightly larger than the original. The worst case expansion is a few
bytes for the gzip file header, plus 5 bytes every 32K block, or an
expansion ratio of 0.015% for large files. Note that the actual number
of used disk blocks almost never increases.  gzip preserves the mode,
ownership and timestamps of files when compressing or decompressing.

indent    1.9.1    C code beautifier

The `indent' program can be used to make code easier to read.  It can
also convert from one style of writing C to another, and understands a
substantial amount about the syntax of C, but it also attempts to cope
with incomplete and misformed syntax.  In version 1.2 and more recent
versions, the GNU style of indenting is the default.

ispell    4.0    GNU spelling checker

Ispell is a program that helps you to correct typos in a file, and to
find the correct spelling of words.  When presented with a word that
is not in the dictionary, ispell attempts to find near misses that
might include the word you meant.

The best way to use ispell is with GNU EMACS.  For documentation about
this mode, see the info topic "ispell".

Ispell can also be used by itself, and in this case the most common
usage is "ispell filename".  If ispell finds a word that is not in the
dictionary, it is printed at the top of the screen.  Ispell then
checks the dictionary for near misses \- words that differ only by a
single letter, a missing or extra letter, or a pair of transposed
letters.  Any that are found are printed on the following lines, and
finally, two lines of context containing the word are printed at the
bottom of the screen.  If your terminal can type in reverse video, the
word itself is highlighted.

If you think the word is correct as it stands, you can type either
"Space" to accept it this one time, "A" to accept it for the rest of
this file, or "I" to accept it and put it in your private dictionary.
If one of the near misses is the word you want, type the corresponding
number.  Finally, you can type "R" and you will be prompted for a
replacement word.  The string you type will be broken into words, and
each one will also be checked.  You can also type "?" for help.

If ispell is started with no arguments, it enters a loop reading words
from the standard input, and printing messages about them on the
standard output.  You can use this mode to find the spelling of a
problem word.

perl    4.036    Practical Extraction and Report Language

Perl is an interpreted language optimized for scanning arbitrary text
files, extracting information from those text files, and printing
reports based on that information.  It's also a good language for many
system management tasks.  The language is intended to be practical
(easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny,
elegant, minimal).  It combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some
of the best features of C, sed, awk, and sh, so people familiar with
those languages should have little difficulty with it.  (Language
historians will also note some vestiges of csh, Pascal, and even
BASIC-PLUS.)  Expression syntax corresponds quite closely to C
expression syntax.

Unlike most Unix utilities, perl does not arbitrarily limit the size
of your data.  If you've got the memory, perl can slurp in your whole
file as a single string.  Recursion is of unlimited depth.  And the
hash tables used by associative arrays grow as necessary to prevent
degraded performance.  Perl uses sophisticated pattern matching
techniques to scan large amounts of data very quickly.  Although
optimized for scanning text, perl can also deal with binary data, and
can make dbm files look like associative arrays (where dbm is
available).  Setuid perl scripts are safer than C programs through a
dataflow tracing mechanism which prevents many stupid security holes.
If you have a problem that would ordinarily use sed or awk or sh, but
it exceeds their capabilities or must run a little faster, and you
don't want to write the silly thing in C, then perl may be for you.
There are also translators to turn your sed and awk scripts into perl
scripts.

Amiga Turbo Modula-2    V1.0d    New compiler for use with all Amigas

This is a freely distributable demonstration version of a (PIM4) Modula-2
development system. Amiga Turbo Modula-2 consists of:

A compiler(M2C), a link utility(M2L), an error lister(M2E),
and a program builder(M2B).
Interface modules for V40 of the AmigaOS & corresponding linker library,
ANSI C standard library definitions as well as those from PIM.

The compiler reads source code in a single pass which means fast
compilation. Internally however it performs several passes over each
procedures statement sequence in order to generate fast and compact code.
Typically, generated code is 25% smaller & 75% faster than the ($200)
commercial Amiga Modula-2 compiler used for the initial bootstraps.
Amiga Turbo Modula-2 is a new compiler developed for use with all Amigas.
Its most notable features are:

o Interface modules for V40 of the Amiga operating system.

o Sun Modula-2 like DEFINITION FOR C MODULE's allow access to
ANSI C standard library functions.

o Fast single pass compilation with extremely accurate error diagnostics.

o High quality code generation.
Code is typically 75% faster than code generated by the (ETH derived)
commercial compiler used for the initial bootstrap, the drystone
benchmark runs over twice as fast.

o Residentable code support (64K global variable limit).

o Includes a system builder (no messing about with makefiles).

o Low shareware fee, 25 pounds sterling or 40 US dollars.

MYSTRIP    1.0    Strip symbol/debug hunks from executable

This little program tries to strip all symbol and debug hunks from
an AmigaDOS EXECUTABLE. It DOES NOT WORK on gcc object (.o,.a) files !
As GCC adds many symbol (and debug) infos even to the AmigaDOS
executable and there ist actually no debugger around, that could use
these informations, it's probably a good idea to remove these infos.
They don't carry ANY information, the executable needs to be run.

CacheIt    1.0    Small floppy-caching commodity

I don't use floppy disks very often. But when I used them I was
bored by the slow speed.
To get rid of this, I wrote CacheIt. CacheIt is a small floppy-
caching commodity that hardly doesn't take up any memory when no
disks are in drive and gives a great speed up for your floppies.

Another requirement for CacheIt was, that it would free its memory
when the system needs it. This is done by a low memory handler.
It works fantastically: I worked a lot with disks and my system
was down at 10 KB Chip and 10 KB FastMem, when I tried to start
a terminal program.
No problem: CacheIt released as much track buffers as necessary
and the terminal program started!

CacheIt works with DD and HD floppy drives.

AXlife    1.0    Amiga port of Xlife 2.0

AXlife is based on Xlife, the definitive life program, which runs
under the X-Windows graphical interface (which overlays UNIX). AXlife
incorporates an Amiga-specific interface, but the basic generation
code remains the same as in Xlife 2.0. AXlife can also read files
produced by Al Hensel's IBM PC program 'Life', which has a very
similar format. The most important feature of Xlife (and AXlife) is
that, unlike most life programs, it does not limit the pattern to the
size of the screen. Xlife does not think in terms of a rectangular
grid, but instead considers the pattern to be composed of 8x8 boxes
containing active life elements. This allows Xlife to cope with
arbitrarily large patterns (up to a maximum size of 2^32 by 2^32 (2^32
= 4,294,967,296)). AXlife comes with a large (219) library of example
patterns.

RoachFarm    1.0    Game based on traditional logic puzzle

    Congratulations on your new job as head shipping clerk in the roach
division at Insect Fun Inc.  As you know, Insect Fun Inc. offers a full
line of recreational insect experimentation and observation kits including
its popular Roach Farm Fun Kit.  Your job is to fill test tubes with live
roaches in preparation for shipping so that eager Roach Farm customers may
stock their farms with livestock.  During your work day, you are presented
with test tubes of varying sizes, each containing an arbitrary number of
roaches. They arrive from the breeding centers this way (center workers
tend to scoop up random numbers of roaches).  You are then presented with
an invoice form which lists the quantities of roaches that customers have
ordered.  The first roach quantity on the invoice is for the tube on the
top, the second quantity is for the tube second from the top, and so on.
    Your problem is that you can't move each roach individually from
one tube to another.  Insect Fun Inc. ships only the strongest Brazilian
cockaroaches, so you don't want to pick them out by hand for fear that they
will escape.  To move the roaches, you must connect the tube that you want
to move roaches from (the source tube) to the tube that you want to move
roaches to (the destination tube) with a flexible hose.  By shaking the
source tube slightly, the roaches are coaxed into moving out into the hose
and then into the destination tube.  As you can see, roaches will therefore
keep moving from one tube to the other until either the destination tube is
full or the source tube is empty.  Use the mouse pointer to direct activity
on the computer screen.  Click on the source tube and then on the
destination tube.  Keep doing this until the proper quantities of roaches
are in each of the test tubes.

PSFonts    ?.?    14 type1 fonts for Imagine spline editor

Since the release of Imagine 2.9 last November, along with 3.0 a couple of
months ago, it has been a little difficult finding Type I Postscript fonts
that'll work in Imagine's Spline editor.  The reasons for this are varied.

Typically, PS fonts in the Amiga domain have been processed with Gold
Disk's Font Manager or some other utility for use in DTP applications.
Also, these later versions of Imagine have been compiled on a PC and ported
to the Amiga.  Some of the PS fonts have way too much detail and curves,
causing the Spline editor to return an error, or the object comes in as an
axis only.

So I set upon a quest of sorts, downloading Type I Postscript fonts from
various nets and BBSs, and seeing which ones would load into Imagine.
Naturally I cannot claim that the fonts in this archive represent the
majority available to the Amiga user (at least, I sure hope not!), but they
have all been tested and work just fine in 3.0, and presumably, 2.9.

They all are, to the best of my knowledge, in the public domain.  You will
need to play with them a little, checking for duplicate points and coplanar
edges.  But they do look very nice when rendered.  These are the .pfb files
only, just put them in your PSFonts directory and you're ready to go
(rtfm).  In any event, have fun, and keep on rendering!

Also included is a 16 color HiRes IFF of a rendered example of each of the
fonts.

include: ordinary bitplanes, interleaved bitplanes, chunkypixels,
blittermasks, Amiga sprites, IFF ILBMs, workbench icons,
Super Nintendo/Famicom and Sega Megadrive/Genesis charactersets and lots
of variations on these main formats.\n
You can also save the picture's palette in a variety of formats, including
ordinary raw 4, 8, or 32 bits-per-gun, Amiga copperlists, IFF ILBM and more.\n
All saves can be done in either binary, as linkmodules (objectfiles), or in
sourcecode (assembler, C, E or Pascal).\n\n
The pictures which contain your images can be stored in IFF ILBM or any
format you've got datatypes' support for as the datatypes.library supplied
with OS3.0 is used (if present) by PicCon. RAW images and workbench icons
can also be loaded (for e.g. reediting), and PicCon also supports loading
and handling of standard IFF ANIMs.\n\n
Some simple (but, in this context, useful) imageprocessing tools have been
included in PicCon, like pen remapping, palette compression, size and depth
scaling and palette fitting. Other features that have proved very handy for
time-saving purposes are the "gridsave", "autocrop" and "autoscan" functions.
The "autoscan" function makes it possible to process a whole picture full
of images in one operation. The "gridsave" feature lets you save hundreds
of e.g. maptiles for backgroundgraphics in a game in a single command.\n\n

DDLI    3.41    A personality indicator like the MBTI

The DDLI asks you a series of multiple choice questions in order to
determine your psychological type (life pattern).  It measures for the same
sixteen psychological types as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) does:
ENFJ, ENFP, ENTJ, ENTP, ESFJ, ESFP, ESTJ, ESTP, INFJ, INFP, INTJ, INTP,
ISFJ, ISFP, ISTJ, ISTP.  These are based on four sets of preferences:
Extraversion vs. Introversion, iNtuition vs. Sensing, Feeling vs. Thinking,
and Judging vs. Perceiving.  The DDLI has many features that make it easy
to use: It lets you change your answers; It lets you save your answers and
resume later; It lets you skip questions and get back to them; And it
tabulates all the results for you. It also has feautures that the MBTI
doesn't have: It asks you to rank each of your answers; And It asks
questions that measure for preferences that the MBTI doesn't directly
measure for.

GFFT    1.12    FFT spectrum analysis of sample files

GFFT is an FFT-based spectrum analysis program with many features.  By
operating from stored sample data files, it offers higher resolution
and/or accuracy than real-time analyzers.  It accepts 8, 12, or 16-bit
data in in IFF 8SVX, AIFF, and AVR formats, or in unformatted files,
and can accept data points entered through a console in floating
point.\n

GFFT can be operated from either a Workbench GUI or from a CLI in
interactive or batch modes.  It has built-in help facilities for all
operating modes with a 170+ Kb help file.\n

GFFT can produce high quality spectrum plots on screen, plotter, or
printer, or save to Postscript or TeX files, or output spectral data
in text form to a console or file.  (GNUPLOT, a separate program by
other authors, is required for plotting features.  GFFT is designed to
invoke and control GNUPLOT automatically.)  It can plot in 2D
(Amplitude vs Frequency), or 3D (Amplitude vs Frequency vs Time).  It
allows the selection of logarithmic X and/or Y axes, the dB scaling of
X, and arbitrary 3D rotation.  GFFT can show multiple spectra in the
same plot, or append spectral data bands from earlier sessions.\n

GFFT provides 8 selectable FFT window types, including Blackman-Harris
92 dB.  It can apply a special weighting for pink noise testing.
Smoothing, calibration, ranging, and quantization are also available.
There are no arbitrary limits to the number of frequency bins or
smoothing points, or to the length of data which can be analyzed.

SIRDS-Images    ?.?    51 Single Image Random Dot Stereograms.

An archive of 51 miscellaneous Single Image Random Dot Stereograms.

Have you walked through a mall lately? These days, as you wander past
most of the poster shops, there will be a large group of people
staring at the same poster with surprisingly weird expressions on
their faces. Some will be in the initial stages of denial or
rejection---they will be concentrating, some slowly rocking their
heads backwards and forwards, searching for an image that they have
never seen before. Others will be grinning from ear to ear, pointing
at the poster, chuckling with their friends that a member of their
group hasn't seem them yet.  "Come on Bill, come on!", they cry and as
Bill gets increasingly more frustrated he concentrates harder and
harder, until finally (if he's lucky) he sees a true 3D image, without
the need for special glasses or equipment.

These pictures are known as Single Image Random Dot Stereograms
(SIRDS), or Single Image Stereograms (SIS) depending on whether the
picture contains random dots as a base for the 3D effect, or a
repetitive pattern. Unfortunately, each commercial company has
labelled them differently. Shop owners generally don't know what you
mean, unless you say "Hollusion" or one of the many other specific
names.

EClock    1.0    Clock appears on any Screen

An upgrade of "Clock V2.2", EClock is a  simple Clock program but
with the handy feature that you can "snapshot" the clock to stay with
any screen or it can be free to pop to the frontmost screen automatically.
An unlimited number of alarm times can be set, which can simply put up
a requester or cause some program to run in background.  Hourly chimes
can also be made to run a program (I.E. a sound sample player).  Uses
locale.library with OS2.1+.

MCalc    1.4    Powerful MUI-based calculator

MUIProCalc is a MUI-based calculator much like Jimmy Yang`s
Calc 3.0. It still lacks the plotter, but it offers a quite
flexible history facility for inserting previously entered
expressions. Different output formats offered and plenty of
functions the user may choose from. Furthermore the look
of the calculator may be customized. ARexx Port for ease of
calculating from within an editor. Some functions are able to
return TeX compatible output. Results or inputs may be copied
to the Clipboard.

MUIProCalc comes with a fancy GUI you may configure to your
needs. Function gadgets may be flipped through using pages
so that they don`t eat up too much of space. MUIProCalc
supports an input/output history you may configure so that
you may re-insert previously entered expressions/results.
History entries may be copied to a userdefiniable clipboard
unit. It features various display/output bases such as decimal,
hexadecimal, octal, and binary and of course calculation sizes
ranging from 8 Bit to 32 Bit width. Angles may be displayed as
radians or degrees. MUIProCalc offers an ARexx port you may
use to calc expressions externally. These commands are able
to return TeX compatible output such as "1\cdot 10^{-5}". It
comes with two example scripts for use with CED Pro.

KingFisher    2.3    Aminet/FishDisk/CD-ROM Catalog Tool,BETA

A special purpose database system using a client-server architecture
to provide one or more client applications with simultaneous access to
one or more databases.  The server can maintain disk catalog databases
for Fred Fish's Fish Disk Library, the Fresh Fish CD-ROM library,
Aminet, your User Group disk collection, etc.\n
Creative use of this program does not limit it to cataloging software,
however: you could store recipes or auto mechanical parts in the
database, keep track of what books or tapes are in your library, store
information on articles for your research project, etc.\n
The client-server model allows access to the server by any client that
knows the message port interface (available to programmers) wherefore
client applications can offer any desired interface to the user:  the
standard GadTools, perhaps MUI, ARexx, a simple CLI, or whatever else
may be available.  Likewise, BBS software may choose to implement a
direct link to the KingFisher Server.\n
Functionality of the server provides for splitting databases over
multiple (removable) volumes, allowing one client access to more than
one database at the same time, evaluating complex search expressions,
formatting a record for output based on specific criteria, parsing
arbitrary input files for embedded records to be added to a database,
maintain multiple special or general purpose flags for each record to
mark for retrieval or removal, hide from searches, rebuilding a
database index (if damaged) etc.\n
Database handling has been optimized for simultaneous multi-user
access, with access arbitration, locking, and file-sharing part of the
design.\n
Software included is the KingFisher 2.0 Database Server and client software
using a fully resizable GadTools interface.  Future releases will include
clients with ARexx and MUI interfaces.\n
Registered users will receive technical support, notification of new
releases, a version without restriction on the number of simultaneous
clients, and programming information and support to access KingFisher
through its message port interface, and source code examples.

ACE    2.0    FreeWare Amiga BASIC compiler + extras

ACE is a FreeWare Amiga BASIC compiler which, in conjunction with A68K
and Blink produces standalone executables.

The language defines a large subset of AmigaBASIC but also has many
features not found in the latter such as: turtle graphics, recursion,
SUBs with return values, structures, arguments, include files, a
better WAVE command which allows for large waveforms, external
references, named constants and a variety of other commands and
functions not found in AmigaBASIC.

New features in version 2.0 include: gadgets, three standard requester
types, serial I/O and menus (with optional command-keys for menu
items). New commands and functions for this version include EXIT FOR,
PTAB, SPC, DEF FN, ON ERROR and ERR (these last two handle file and
serial I/O at present). INPUT and PRINT can now be used transparently
for all screen/window combinations.

All user-defined windows are now fully-configurable and may be used in
conjunction with screens as per AmigaBASIC. Window close event
trapping is also a new feature.

In addition to event trapping, ACE now supports WAITing for both menus
and gadgets. Waiting is more operating-system-friendly than event
trapping.

A simple graphical front-end (Integrated Development Environment) is
also provided with the archive. This is written in ACE.

mkisofs    1.00.5    Simple ISO-9660 pre-mastering utility.

A pre-mastering program to generate an ISO-9660 filesystem.  It takes
a snapshot of a given directory tree, and generates a binary image
which will correspond to an ISO-9660 filesystem when written to a
block device.

It is also capable of generating the System Use Sharing Protocol
records specified by the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol.  This is
used to further describe the files in the ISO-9660 filesystem to a
unix host, and provides information such as longer filenames, uid/gid,
posix permissions, and block and character devices.

Each file written to the ISO-9660 filesystem must have a filename in
the 8.3 format (8 characters, period, 3 characters, all upper case),
even if Rock Ridge is in use.  This filename is used on systems that
are not able to make use of the Rock Ridge extensions (such as
MS-DOS), and each filename in each directory must be different from
the other filenames in the same directory.

mkisofs generally tries to form correct names by forcing the unix
filename to upper case and truncating as required, but often times
this yields unsatisfactory results when there are cases where the
truncated names are not all unique.  mkisofs assigns weightings to
each filename, and if two names that are otherwise the same are found
the name with the lower priority is renamed to have a 3 digit number
as an extension (where the number is guaranteed to be unique).  An
example of this would be the files foo.bar and foo.bar.~1~ - the file
foo.bar.~1~ would be written as FOO.000;1 and the file foo.bar would
be written as FOO.BAR;1.  "path" is the path of the directory tree to
be copied into the ISO-9660 filesystem.

(AmigaDOS Note: The AmigaDOS port relaxes the above restrictions to
produce ISO-9660 level 2 compatible ISO images)

Flat    1.3    Handler for block-mapped filing devices

A filing system handler which implements block-mapped filing devices
such as available under Un*x.  Read and write calls are mapped to
low-level system IO operations which allow to treat devices such as
df0:, dh0:, rad:, etc. as big data files.  These `virtual' files can
be copied, read and written just like any standard AmigaDOS file.  It
is even possible to copy a whole disk with the CLI `Copy' command or
to archive disks with LhArc and the like.  Written as a supplement for
the Amiga `tar' program.
