AddressManager for MUI is different from most other similar programs, because it uses Stefan Stuntz`s Magic User Interface. This great user interface gives you the possibilty to configure you application as you like it. Author: MICHAEL SCHIKORA Path: BBS/biz/AM_Mui1.0-1.0.lha ========== comicDemo 2.0 Database for comic books or magazines Comic-Manager is a program for collectors of comics, magazines or novels. You have to enter all your comics and rate them into different conditions. With different kinds of evaluations you are able to get a good survey of your collection, for example how many numbers are present or missing. The most important program item concerns the printing of your data. It is possible to print the data as a small book which you can take everywhere. Author: Andreas Zottmann Path: BBS/biz/ComicDemo-2.0.lha ========== db 2.3 Database with GadTool look db is a small and fast database program that I wrote after having tested numerous other PD database programs and always found something lacking or irritating me. They might have dozzens of features not found in db, but they lacked font sensitivity and a standard GUI look and OS 3.0 behaviour. My main need was to keep record on addresses and telephone numbers of friends and companies. Before this release db was fixed to be just an address and telephone database, but this has changed now. The program is designed to handle information of your choice. Currently you have to use a file editor to specify the database fields and layout as there is no GUI for that. Anyway that's a one time job, then you just USE the database and have fun. Complete GUI support will probably only be included in a commercial product I plan to call REG. 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) Author: David Ekholm, Datadosen Path: BBS/biz/db-2.3.lha ========== DDBase 6.42 Database that can view various formats Have upto 3500 records,export-import data ASCII ,Superbase or BBaseII Uses External fields {ASCII/IFF/MED-SOUNDTRACKER MODULES/8SVX/ AMIGAGUIDE/ANIMS/GIFF/JPEG/}, upto 20 fields.Draw upto 10 Bevel/FlipBoxes, Box,Double Bevel Boxes. DDBASE is now compatible with PAL Lowres,Hires, Hires Lace and NTSC Lowres,Hires/Hires Lace screen modes. DDBASE can now create a AmigaGuide database from a DDBASE file.

Or alternatively a thing for adding messages to taglines. Take your pick. Author: James W Savage Path: BBS/comm/Gothic_Tag.lha ========== Mosaic 1.2 Amiga World-Wide-Web browser Amiga Mosaic is a networked information discovery, retrieval, and collaboration tool originally developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana and then ported to the Amiga by Michael Fischer, Michael Witbrock, Michael Meyer, and Steve Dunham. Mosaic provides a hypertext interface to the global Internet. Hypertext is text which contains highlighted links, called hyperlinks or anchors, to other texts. Each highlighted phrase (in color or underlined) is a hyperlink to another document or information resource somewhere on the Net. A single click with the left mouse button on any highlighted phrase will follow the link, and Mosaic will retrieve the document associated with the selected hyperlink and display it. The Mosaic client communicates with HTTP servers. HTTP is the HyperText Transfer Protocol of the WWW (World Wide Web). Mosaic can also communicate with more traditional Internet protocols such as FTP, Gopher, WAIS, NNTP, etc. The hypertext documents viewed with Mosaic are written in HTML (HyperText Markup Language), which is a subset of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language). Among the many formatting features, HTML allows Mosaic to display inlined images. (In fact, an inlined images can serve as a hyperlink just like a word or phrase can). Mosaic also features unlimited multimedia capabilities. File types that Mosaic cannot handle internally, such as mpeg movies, sound files, Postscript documents, and JPEG images, are automatically sent to external viewers (or players).

You may configure the amount of information to be stored in the log. The log-file created by serlog.device contains a binary dump which can be formatted (i.e. transferred into a readable version) using the supplied formatter. Note that serlog.device uses *significant* overhead over the underlying serial.device, resulting in very low baud-rates. Author: Stefan Pröls Path: BBS/dev/SerLog-1.3.lha ========== StackMon 1.3 Monitors stack usage of programs When run StackMon presents a list of all the tasks and processes currently running. The list is sorted alphabetically, with processes before tasks. This list is not updated automatically, as constructing this list requires suspension of multitasking. If you run a program you want to monitor after starting StackMon, click on the 'Update list' gadget so that it appears in the list. If the program you want to monitor was run from the Workbench, its name will be that of the icon; if run from the shell the name is the exact name typed into the shell, with path. Click on the program you wish to monitor and StackMon will begin monitoring. The display consists of numbers and a fuel gauge showing the current stack use relative to the size of the stack. The numbers are: Current: This is the amount of stack in use when the program was last monitored. Largest: The largest recorded stack ever in use by this program. Stack : The stack allocated for this program. Author: David Kinder Path: BBS/dev/StackMon-1.3.lha ========== StdErr 3.0 A Standard Error Port for Amiga E StdErr.m provides Amiga E users with an easy-to-use standard error port for their Amiga E programs.

Sushi also provides optional signalling and buffer access to an external display/watcher program. Author: Carolyn Scheppner Path: BBS/dev/Sushi-37.10.lha ========== Twilight Development System (TDS) 2.04 Environment for developing source files Twilight Development System (TDS) provides an integrated environment for writing and compiling source files like Turbo Pascal or Borland C/C++. The main program of the package is a powerful text editor called Twilight Editor (Ted) which includes an integrated project manager. This project manager simplifies and speeds up the development of programs composed of different source files (modules). With TDS it's possible to compile and link these modules into an executable file with a single command and if the compiler finds some errors, they will be reported directly by the editor. TDS doesn't provide its own compiler, but can use any compiler or assembler callable from Shell. It can interface directly with many common compilers and assemblers like DICE C, SAS C, Lattice C, Aztec C, DevPac, A68k, PCQ, HCC, GNU-C, Amiga-E, Oberon and even programs like TeX, CatComp and MakeInfo. If the compiler is not supported, it's possible to write a little interface program to convert the error messages in a format readable by the editor. The compile process will be executed concurrently using another program called Twilight Make (TMake), so the user can continue to edit the source files while the compiler is working. Author: Claudio Zani Path: BBS/dev/TDS-2.04.lha ========== VisualArts 2.0 A powerful GUI designer Visual Arts 2.0 is a new powerful GUI designer.

Wong Path: BBS/dev/VisualArts-2.0.lha ========== AmiCDFS 37.5 CDROM fs, also reads Mac floppy & hd AmiCDFileSystem is a file system which can read: - ISO-9660 (w/ RockRidge extensions) and Macintosh HFS CD-ROMs - Macintosh HFS floppy and hard disks The ability to read Macintosh floppy and hard disks comes for free, since they use the same file system used for HFS CD-ROMs. This program was originally based on AmiCDROM 1.9 by Frank Munkert. While the file system functions are mostly the original ones, the packet handling routines have been completely re-written. This file system can be installed on the Rigid Disk Block (RDB) of an hard disk to automatically mount a Mac partition (you can even boot from it, if you manage to put the necessary Amiga system files in it). The code is reentrant and is shared among multiple instances of the file system. This means that if you use AmiCDFileSystem on a CD-ROM drive, a magneto-optical drive, two floppy drives and two hard disk partitions, like a friend of mine does, only one copy will be loaded instead of six - saving 100K of memory. Author: Nicola Salmoria, based on AmiCDROM by Frank Munkert Path: BBS/disk/AmiCDFS-37.5.lha ========== AmiCDROM 1.13 ISO-9660 standard CDROM filesystem AmiCDROM is a CDROM disk filing system for the Commodore Amiga. It supports the ISO-9660 standard, the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol and the Macintosh HFS format. The CDROM drive is mounted as a DOS device (e.g. CD0:).

It provides flat-file access to a SCSI tape drive from application programs using simple calls to DOS or C library I/O functions. It can also be used with the Amiga TAR utility for disk backups. It uses your existing SCSI adapter's device driver for access to the bus. This version fixes a number of bugs and includes several new features including file number tracking and append-only and read-only safety modes.

Has a full Intuition interface and runs from Workbench or Shell. It can fix most problems in-place, and can reverse a partial or QUICK format. It can copy out from disks that can't be fixed due to physical damage, with a destination going to any AmigaDOS disk device or pipe (eg, TAPE:). In English, locale catalogs included for Danish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Finnish, and Swedish, short manuals in English and Swedish.

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. Author: Olaf `Olsen' Barthel Path: BBS/disk/Flat-1.3.lha ========== MultiFileSystem 1.1 An interface to other file systems Thanks to the versatility of AmigaDOS, we are able to use many different file systems on our disks. The most popular is of course CrossDOS (tm), but many other file systems can be found in the PD. Adding a new file system to the Amiga is simplicity itself: just copy a file in L:, provide a suitable mountlist, and there you go. This works flawlessy if every physical unit is accessed by a single file system, but if multiple file systems share the same device, some problems arise: - You have to call the same unit with different names (e.g. DF0: and PC0:) depending of the kind of disk inserted. - When you insert a PC disk, the Workbench shows a DF0:???? icon, and vice versa; this can be very annoying especially for owners of more than one drive. - When a file system is busy (for example during a DiskCopy), the other file systems can still access the disk; this goes against the concept of "inhibiting" a device. MultiFileSystem solves all of these problems. It isn't a file system in the usual way: it is an interface to other file systems. When you mount it, you tell it which file systems it should use; afterwards, when a disk is inserted, MultiFileSystem will recognize it and pass the commands to the appropriate file system. This means that with a single device name, for example DF0:, you can access any conceivable file system! You are not limited to floppy drives, of course: I successfully installed MultiFileSystem over a 128Mb magnetooptical drive. Author: Nicola Salmoria Path: BBS/disk/MFS-1.1.lha ========== 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) Author: Eric Youngdale Frank Munkert Path: BBS/disk/mkisofs-1.00.5.lha ========== NewZAP 3.3 Multipurpose file sector editing utility A third-generation multi-purpose file sector editing utility, from the author of FileZAP.

User-customizable, with new printing feature added. Author: Dallas J. Hodgson Path: BBS/disk/NewZAP-3.3.lha ========== PFS 9.5.4 Professional filing system for the Amiga The standard AmigaDos filesystem (OFS) is very slow. Commodore has tried to improve the performance of their filesystem a number of times. Workbench 2.0 added the fast filing system (FFS), and now, with Workbench 3.0, we have the fast filing system with directory caching (FFS-DC). This makes directoryscan faster but writing to disk and directory-operations like delete and rename are slower than ever. This made me decide to write a filesystem that does better. High performance - write: 3-5 times faster - read: 50% faster - directoryscan: 10-20 times FFS, 3 times FFS-DC - delete/rename/protect etc: 10-20 times faster Other features - full AmigaDos compatibility - upto 10% more data on a disk - better faulttolerance - parallel access almost without performance loss - disks NEVER get invalidated Both double density and high density floppy disks are supported. This version of the filesystem also supports small harddisk partitions. Partitions up to 31MB are supported. A version for larger partitions is under development and will be available to registered users only. Author: Michiel Pelt Path: BBS/disk/PFS-9.5.4.lha ========== StatRam 3.1 Very fast recoverable ram drive StatRam is a recoverable ram drive. It works on any Amiga using V2.04 or greater of the OS. It handles any filesystem (either Amiga or foreign, like e.g. CrossDOS(tm)), has ten units and may be layed out like a floppy disk for quick diskcopies. It is dynamic, that is it allocates and frees memory as files are copied and deleted, and is probably the most recoverable ram drive available. Even the worst system crash will not erase it, as long as the portion of memory where it resides is not corrupted. New for V3.1 : - Now works with ProfFileSystem - Now works with .ZOM disk images - Fixed the pyrotechnic crash that could occur mounting second and subsequent volumes Author: Richard Waspe Nicola Salmoria Based on code originally by Perry S.

Can make up to four unverified copies from a ram buffer in 36 seconds. Verified copies from a ram buffer take 67 seconds for one destination drive, plus 34 seconds for each additional destination. Includes a program to fine tune some fields in the trackdisk device, and a "no click" type program.

During this long period, CBM didn't release any kind of tool which would be able to check and repair disks and recover deleted files. There are many third-party utilities capable of doing such a job, but they are usually terribly slow and they don't support all standard filesystems. I have been so annoyed with this situation that I decided to try to write a good unerasing tool. UnDel is the result of this work. Features: - Supports any standard filesystem - OFS / FFS + DirCache / INTL mode - Very fast (only free blocks are scanned, written in assembly etc.) - Special option for systems with small amount of memory - Nice user interface in shell window ;-) - Recovered files are copied to another device - Protection bits and file note are also recovered - UNDEL is pure and can be made resident Author: Martin Mares Path: BBS/disk/UnDel-1.0.lha ========== AmigaFAQ 94.10.14 "Frequently Asked Questions" about Amiga Lists some frequently asked questions and trys to give answers.

Your task is to guide Balder - the god of light - through groves filled with berserks and snakes. Collect rings, push runestones and try to find the small passage to the next level. This time you don't have to play alone. Get a helping hand from a friend and I assure you the game will be easier as well as funnier. The game comes with 40 levels and a level editor. Unfortunately the levels are almost identical with those included in previous releases. The only exception is that you can use them all in two player mode. If you have made some own levels with the old level editor you can still use them with this new game package in one player mode. To be able to use them with two players you will have to load them into the level editor, place entrances and exits for player two, and save them. I hope you will have a good time!

Demo Game based on old Pengo game. Pengo is a maze-game. The maze is made up of blocks of ice, which you can push or melt. Blocks are melted by pushing a block that has another block directly in front of it. If that sounds confusing (and it probably does), play the game, and you'll understand what I meant. The ice blocks that form the "border" around the maze can't be pushed or melted. Also, on some levels there are special gold blocks, which can't be moved. On each level there are four enemies. If an enemy catches you, you lose one life. Your weapon against the enemies is the ice blocks; push an ice block onto an enemy, and the enemy will be squashed (but it will re-appear after a while). If the level layout makes it possible, try to "trap" the enemies into small spaces; that will make it a piece of cake to squash them. Generally, trying to limit the ways that the enemies can take (by pushing blocks to the right places) is a good tactic. Learning the different movement patterns for the enemies is also essential; the yellow ones are pretty easy to outsmart without understanding how they move, but the red ones are professional escape artists, and almost impossible to hit if you don't understand their "AI". If you spend too much time on one level, a ghost will appear and start to home in on you. The ghost can't be killed - but it will disappear as soon as you get to the next level. If it catches you, you will lose one life, and it will disappear for a while (the ghost, not the life :) ). If it catches you while you're "invisible" to the enemies, it will simply remove the invisibility and disappear - but it will re-appear very quickly. The aim of the game is to defeat the evil Sarvebuk who awaits you on level 64. So the big question is: how do you get to the next level? Getting to the next level can be achieved by either: 1. Squashing all enemies on the level with ice blocks. 2. Pushing the three ruby blocks together so that they form a horizontal or vertical line. 3. Getting a warp bonus of some sort. Method nr 1 is recommended, as it's the most fun. Squashing many enemies with one block will give more score than squashing them one by one. There are also lots of bonuses and bonus systems in the game, but I won't reveal them here (which would spoil the surprise). Find out about them yourself!

Flip was created around 1931 by animator Ub Iwerks. Iwerks was originally a friend and partner with Walt Disney in their fledgeling cartoon studio. Ub designed the original Mickey Mouse and animated the first few Mickey short cartoons almost single-handed. Iwerks was the skilled draftsman and animator, while Disney wrote and directed. Around 1930/31, a producer named Pat Powers offered Iwerks the chance to have his own studio and he Accepted. The cartoons Iwerks created Powers would distribute to MGM. Iwerks' first character was Flip the Frog, and flip's debut was in a VERY early 1931 two strip color(three strips are needed for a full spectrum) cartoon called Fiddlesticks. In this cartoon Flip resembled a real frog. after a couple cartoons, the producer urged Iwerks to redesign Flip into something "cuter". In the process Flip gained a hat, gloves, shoes and shorts, making him look a lot less like a frog and more like Mickey Mouse with the ears and black nose ripped off. Flip the Frog cartoons, and Iwerks' cartoons in genenal, did not have much success because Iwerks lacked the inventiveness and storytelling ability to match his abilities as artist and animator. (The reverse could be said about Walt Disney, which is why the two made a very good team). In 1933, Flip the Frog was abandoned for the character Willie Whopper. several years after that, the Powers/Iwerks studio shut down completely. Iwerks went back to Disney, and became a sort of mechanical engineer, pioneering the process of xeroxing pencil drawings onto clear cels (to make the animation process quicker and cheaper). Flip the Frog and the Iwerks studio were almost completely forgotten, except to animation historians. --- -- Until.. In the year 1990, Eric Schwartz attended a presentation of old cartoon shorts at the Columbus College of Art and Design, wher he attends classes. One of the Cartoons shown was a Flip the Frog cartoon, "Room Runners", which impressed Schwartz with its good animation and surprising amount of sexual jokes for a 1930's cartoon. Eric Began to storyboard his own Flip the Frog Cartoon. He originally intended to copy 'Room Runners' but switched to his own storyline. Flip was redesigned, stylised, and modernized (he also looks something like a frog). Using the Amiga computer as his medium, Schwartz brought Flip the Frog back to the world. Flip has appeared in two modern cartoons so far; 'The Dating Game'in 1991 and 'A Day at the Beach'in 1992. More cartoons are planned, for an as yet undetermined date.

Hypnotic color cycling effects Many years ago, when a friend of mine had convinced me to buy a used Amiga, I got my hands on a small program named Tunnel. It was originally a demo program for some Modula-2 system; thus source code in Modula-2 was included. The program was so cool, my brother and I used to turn off the light in the room and watch the psychedelic colours flickering by. The program didn't work on my new AGA Amiga - there was no synchronization and the colours shift much too fast. I wrote this quick hack to produce a similar effect, but enhanced to make use of all the 24 color bits of AGA. The 'tunnel' is a very simple effect, but it is cheaper than hallucinogen drugs - unless there are Psilocybin mushrooms growing where you live anyway ;-) Author: Jörgen Grahn Path: BBS/gfx/AGATunnel.lha ========== Aggressor ?.?

Basically it plays vector movies that are written in a special programming language that I designed. The original idea was: "Wouldn't it be neat if vector demos could be created and played using a standard program, use the screenmode that you wanted, were smoother on faster machines and multitasked properly?" After all, we can't impress PC users from fast animation 'cos they have faster processors, but we can beat them by making something totally impossible through Windows ;-) Anim3D is a real-time vector movie player for Workbench 3 machines. It has three main features which I think most Amiga software (and demos) should have nowadays: 1) It is extremely friendly to the OS and multitasks properly; I've played animations whilst downloading files on the modem and been playing a tracker module so I think I can safely say this :-) 2) Animations are played at the SAME speed whatever the machine is... slower machines just have a lower frame update rate. This works fine because the display is double-buffered (as you'd expect) so there are no half drawn screens to be seen. 3) It can use any of the display modes available on the machine; the same image is displayed on the screen whatever the resolution. This allows those lucky A4000/040 owners to display anims in mega hi-res while running at the same frame rate that an A1200 might run in lo-res. It also makes use of a special dithering method that I worked out which gives the appearance of more shades of each colour without slowing screen rendering down. This does however require more chip memory than normal. I have designed a language for creating these animations and some simple demo anims have been included to give you an idea of what it can do. Take a look at the animation files by all means (they are only ASCII text), but I wouldn't try writing your own without any documentation!

I'm not sure why, possibly because I spent a lot more time on the still graphics, but in any case I think it's one of my best for overall looks, humor, timing, and cinematic nature. I hope I know what's good, I came out with some real turkeys through trial and error. This animation lasts a full two minutes and ten seconds (including titles) and should run in two megabytes of memory if your workbench is not very demanding. NOTE: I have noticed that the Movieplayer program will not always work in some cases, giving a "Can't find libraries" error. I have yet to determine exactly what libraries Movieplayer wants, but I know that Movieplayer will ALWAYS run on a standard commodore-issue workbench(you know, JUST a workbench disk, nothing else), and will rarely run on a 'stripped' workbench like what comes on some other program's disk (i.e. it WON'T run on Deluxepaint's workbench) In case you haven't figured it out already, the Anti-Lemmin' Demo is a rather NASTY parody on that great game company Psygnosis' great game, Lemmings. I sure hope I don't get sued. This animation is freely distributable as long as all files (including this readme) are present upon distribution.

While attending my freshman year at the Columbus College of Art and Design, I came up with the idea for this animation, My father had recently purchased the Disney Animation studio, and, due to the nature of my animation idea, I chose the fast pageflipping Disney studio other than my usual workhorse, Moviesetter, which,from the nature of its animation system and Hardware/software limitations, can only do about 8-10 frames per second. ATF Agility was fully animated, with many more drawings per second than one of my Moviesetter works, which blits still and animated brushes around the screen. Disney worked wonderfully. Its onion skin feature greatly speeded up production. Disney also promises frame-synched sound, and timing and pallete changes in mid-animation, just like Moviesetter. All those features work beautifully, if you're willing to learn the language of the slightly-esoteric exposure sheet module, But these features are only available when you use Disney's proprietary CFAST animation file format. No biggie, I thought, I'm used to that (Moviesetter's proprietary too), and I would get a lot of benefits that a garden variety ANIM cant do. I colored the Animation in Disney's Ink'n'Paint module, which could use a LOT more capability, so I could keep with the beautiful, clever CFAST format, Right? HAH!! The final CFAST file saved out at 880K for a 22 second, 15 fps, 8-color animation - Just slightly bigger than a disk. because I had no Hard drive, I compressed the file and wrote a script to decompress upon running. Hardly a good solution; the overhead caused it to require 2.5 megs to run properly from a floppy, or 1.5 and an ASSIGN command to run from a hard drive. This was November of 1990. The situation didn't change for a while. June 1991. I purchased Progressive Peripherals' Animation Station, Which promised some of the abilites of the Disney program using standard ANIMs I resaved the CFAST file as an ANIM-5. 432k - Quite an improvement over 880k, Cfast files are just plain huge. Animation Station and its Animplayer allow Pallete changes during an animation, Timing changes for holds on frames without adding duplicate frames, and digitised sound synching via a script file that works exactly like a Sculpt/Movie sound script. It has its share of limitations and problems, (My Animation Station seems to know the GURU personally) but it works, The New ATF Agility runs nearly identically to the original version. Takes up only a bit more than half a disk including player program. only requires 1-meg, and can run from any directory. You can even load it into Dpaint and check it out, but youll probably lose the fringe benefits. Author: Eric Schwartz Path: BBS/gfx/ATF_Agility.lha ========== At the Movies ?.?

Here's one of those simple ones. This one actually happens to be a remake of a similar animation I did on the Macintosh (Boo!) to promote Gold Disk's Animation Works software, which is basically an expanded and improved version of the Moviesetter program I use on the Amiga. I have written to Gold Disk, asking them to port the software to the Amiga, as Moviesetter is looking a bit dated now and an AGA compatible program like Moviesetter or Animation Works would be welcome. If you would like to see Animation Works on Amiga, I would urge you to write as well. This animation should run on any Amiga with 2 megs memory. It may run with less memory, depending on your personal setup. If you have problems with the animation, look at the Animlist text file that is with this animation for troubleshooting guidelines. This animation is ©1993 Eric W. Schwartz. It can be freely distributed as long as all files are included (including this readme). More information on my copyrights are included in the AnimList file.

This was an interesting experiment in visual style, and looks very different from most of my other Aerotoons. This is due to the fact that much of the graphics for it were created in Deluxepaint, Scene Generator, and Sculpt 4D jr, with the Art Department as an intermediary between them and Moviesetter.

I decided to code this, because ByteRun is not so effective as XPK, LhA (but not always!). If you want to repack images, you will reach the best results only when you pack pure image data, and this is why this program was born and should be useful for all the people wanting save own disk space, eg.

All During the war with Iraq, various people kept asking me to do an animation concerning the event. It may be a little late, but here it is. Gulf Conflict was created with the aid of such things as DeluxePaint 3, Imagine, Disney Animation Studio, the AProDraw and Tablet, Draw 4D Pro(on loan from Merical Computers), The Art Department, and the ever-present Moviesetter. The anim's visual style is heavily inspired by the Planetside CDTV demo by Psygnosis(sorry, no super-fast fractal scapes here tho'). One thing I would fix if I had to do it over again are the ugly pallete shifts between some scenes. Those were all my fault, as my palletes were all wildly different when they didn't need to be. This Animation requires at least two megabytes of RAM to run. If your workbench is not too demanding, you probably can run this with 2 megs. If you have a Hard Drive or a demanding workbench eating up your memory, you will most likely need about 2.5 megs. Author: Eric Schwartz Path: BBS/gfx/GulfConflict.lha ========== HowToRunWall ?.?

There are several commercial offerings available, however the casual user is paying a lot of money for many facilities and options they would probably never use. Bitmap graphics, by their nature, usually require large amounts of RAM. One of the main objectives of ImageStudio was to reduce this burden by utilising virtual memory - most users have more spare hard disk space than spare RAM. ImageStudio works with several buffers at any one time (dependant on how many levels of undo are specified), each of these buffers can hold either colour-mapped or 24-bit images. For a detailed description of colour-mapped and 24-bit images, See Image types.

Demo jpegs of Manga Babes This is the demo version of Manga Babes. Manga Babes are essentially 3D models of the human female form designed and constructed in the style of Japanese comics and animation. Take a look at the accompanying JPEGS to see what they look like. Manga Babes are designed for use with the Imagine raytracer from Impulse, Inc. However, it has been converted to 3D Studio and DXF format for PC users and any program that accepts Imagine, 3DS or DXF formats. The demo version contains 2 Babe models (Imagine and 3DS) with some vital bodyparts missing. However, they are fine for rendering as long as the missing parts don't show. Only periphery limbs such as hands and foot are absent from the models. Also, some of the parts are fused together so you can't manipulate them as easily as the registered version. Furthermore, the brush map included for the face is only in 4 colors and the hair is missing Author: Tomwoof Path: BBS/gfx/MangaBabesDemo.lha ========== Navigator ?.?

That is, instead of simply moving the outline of a window, the entire window contents are moved as you move the mouse. The EGS window system provides this capability, but does not extend it to standard Intuition screens. Hence this commodity. This commodity is intended for use with accelerated graphics cards such as the @{i}GVP Spectrum. @{ui} Although it is possible to use it with standard Amiga AGA screens, it is likely to be impractically slow except possibly in single bitplane modes. However, there are various controls which allow selection of the conditions under which windows should be moved opaquely, and under which they should be moved as an outline.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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).

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).

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.

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.

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. Author: Pace Willisson Path: BBS/GNU/ispell-4.0.tar.gz ========== ixemul 39.47 Unix emulation environment, Amiga lib. 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 environment and for doing library tracing when the tracing version of the library is installed.

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.

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.

It plots data points as (x,y) co-ordinates with or without x or y error bars. It can plot an unlimited number of sets with any number of data points using colour, line type, line weight, point shape and point size to represent the different sets. A set may be joined by a line or plotted as discrete points. Data may be impulse plotted, scatter plotted, or shown as a histogram or step graph. Additions to the data may be made in the form of lines of best fit (logarithmic, exponential, linear and polynomial) and data smoothing utilising modified open b-splines or averaging filtration. The input file for Multiplot is a simple textfile and my be created in any ASCII text editor or saved from any spreadsheet. Multiplot supports the clipboard, and data input may be achieved solely through it. Multiplot has a full ARexx interface which provides potential for a wide variety of data manipulations including statistical analysis. Output may be in any of the following formats: IntroCAD, Draw, mCAD, IFF, Revised Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HPGL/2), Encapsulated Postscript (EPSF) or Postscript. The graph can be printed to any workbench printer by transparent use of the PLT: device. Multiplot directly supports the HP LaserJet III and Postscript laser printers such as the Apple Laser printer.

Tired of them blasting aliens? Night Math Attack is a motivational game for practicing all 4 math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), created with help from an educational consultant. Faster speed and accuracy at these skills result in better problem-solving math ability and higher test scores. The program has up-beat music, quality graphics, and no requirement for fast hand control. Following the title screen and instructions, the player chooses which math operation to practice. The game screen has a question at the top, 4 answers down the left side, a helicopter in the middle, and a choice of sound on/off at the bottom. The player uses the joystick or cursor keys to fly the chopper up or down so it is level with the correct answer, and then uses the joystick or space bar to fire a missile at the answer. A message then reports whether the choice was right or wrong. The wrong messages are followed by the question with the correct answer to reinforce learning. Wrong choices are generated randomly so that students will no become used to the same choices after repeated plays. After 20 questions a "report card" gives the accuracy rate. There is a print-out option which prints wrong questions and out-of-time questions for further study, which requires the printer driver to be in the devs directory of the boot disk. Practicing math facts as little as 5 minutes a day usually results in a grade score improvement.

The entire animation is over 200 Megabytes in HAM Interlace Overscan. It looks pretty good genlocked onto videotape. The sub comes from out of the distance, makes a turn in front of the camera, and goes on to find the domed underwater city of Atlantis. The undersea plants were made with the new twist, bend, and taper tools in the Detail Editor. The ocean floor is a plane with the new Wave texture. The sunken galleon is from the Imagine 2.0 included objects. The seashells were made with Shelley, which I got off aminet (thanks!). The submarine is my concept of the proposed Centurion class. Yes, I know submarines don't travel underwater with their mast and and periscope up but I thought it looked cooler. Some things I am working on are a better hull texture, cavitation bubbles as the prop turns (maybe with particles), and adding more detail to the hull. Since then, I have made models of the Seawolf, Typhoon, and am working on the Akula plus a zillion other projects.

The DVI file may be specified without the extension. Fonts used may either be resident in the printer or defined as bitmaps in PK files, or a `virtual' combination of both. If the MakeTeXPK program is installed, DviPS will automatically invoke METAFONT to generate fonts that don't already exist. *LOTS* of command line options.

It is _extremely_ raw, very incomplete, and probably buggy as hell. My intention is to abuse you as beta tester. ;^) HWGPOST is project that I started because I had some problems with post.library 1.7 (and 1.86 where post.library stayed the same) not handling some PostScript code correctly. So I built on the post 1.7 source. HWGPOST is IMHO a major step towards PostScript Level 2 already and as time and motivation permits it will hopefully become a R&W book compliant PostScript Level 2 interpreter library with maybe some Display PostScript extensions. Currently this archive is probably mostly useful to users of post.library up to 1.7. Major new features for HWGPOST beta 4 ===================================== - image operators support files as source. - startjob/exitserver. - execform. - composite font support. - setsystemparams (pretty much a dummy though). Sorry, setpagedevice has to wait. Author: Heinz Wrobel Path: BBS/text/HWGPost-22.24.lha ========== Less 1.6Z Amiga port of UNIX text file reader A text file reader, descended from Unix "Less."

This was originally done using Nico Francois' excellent ReqTools package. After requests came asking for timeout I decided that using Intuition directly was best so the original version was completely scrapped and what is now here came to be. I added a timeout and default feature allowing BReq to go through a default option after a certain amount of time had passed. Realizing that the timeout might be quite long I added a blanker (quite simple once I got the idea of IDCMP) and it was quite silly of me not to make both buttons (or gadgets rather) alterable - so now both gads can be altered on the command line.

As soon as the Workbench screen appears (or you press any mouse-button), the picture will go away. Author: Magnus Holmgren Path: BBS/util/picboot-2.3.lha ========== PopUpScreen 1.02 Pops specified screen to front This program lets you simply add hotkey to any program you wish. To do so you will have to use (for now!) FKey program (or similar one), enter there your hotkey combination, switch COMMAND to RUN PROGRAM and type into the window as follow: POPUPSCREEN SCR <ScreenName> where SCREENNAME is the name of program's screen you want to pop up. NOTE: ScreenName is CASE SENSITIVE! You can also use part of name (abbrev.) by typing eg: SCR=Psych (for screen named: "Psychodelic"). When you are poping screen up its first window will be made active. If you do not like this use NOACTIVATE flag to disable it. When you call this program 2nd time your screen will be sent to back and WorkBench screen will be fronted! Switch INFO prints out all named screens and its size and depeth. Switch HELP will (surprise, surprise) help you... :-) Author: Marcin Orlowski Path: BBS/util/PopUpScreen-1.02.lha ========== PPrefs 2.0 Screenmode promotion utility PPrefs is a screenmode promotion utiltity which allows you to promote every available screenmode of your system (including HAM and EHB modes) to another mode. You simply select a source and a destination mode and every program that wants to open a screen with the source mode, instead will open a screen with the destination mode. If you want that some very special programs get their very special screenmode or don't get promoted at all, besides that "mode to mode" promotion, PPrefs supports task/screen specific promotion, as well..address Author: Olaf Gschweng Path: BBS/util/PPrefs-2.0.lha ========== ProxWatch 1.2 Localized Font-Sensitive Watch o ProxWatch is a small utility for your WBStartup drawer. o The string used for displaying date and time is totally user definable. o The window can be opened on your favourite public screen. o Using a borderless backdrop window the watch text may be visually attached to the screen title.

Weekly, monthly, yearly and unique events are possible. Author: Marcus J. Stratmann Path: BBS/util/RemindMe-1.0.lha ========== ReNum 2.1 Changes the names of sequences of files ReNum is a utility that changes the names of sequences of files. ReNum is aimed at helping animators that wishes to transfer files, say from Real3d to DPaint. Real3d calls IFF-files generated as an anim something like this: Pic0, Pic1, ... (from now on called "Dynamic format"), while DPaint wants multiple IFF-files to build an animation, to be in alpha- betical order, often meaning you have to rename your pictures to Pic000, Pic001, and so on ("Fixed format"). This can be very tedious, especially if you have a hundred or more pictures. No more of that, because that's exactly what ReNum does! ReNum can also convert files from Fixed to Dynamic. ReNum is also capable of changing the names (and not the framenumbers) or the numbering of a sequence. Author: Emil Åström Path: BBS/util/ReNum-2.1.lha ========== ReqChange 3.4 Makes system use Reqtools requesters ReqChange is a program that patches Intuition, ASL, ARP and REQ to use the ReqTools requesters instead.

It allows you to work with so-called "Public" screens and thereby enhance your productivity, by allowing Workbench screen (and other) applications to use a different screen than the regular Workbench. Author: Chris Lawrence Path: BBS/util/ScreenFool-2.6.lha ========== ScreenTool 1.04 Switch between screens using hotkeys. On the MS-DOS´en you have the keyboard shortcut CTRL-TAB to cycle between the applications, and the CTRL-ESC shortcut to view all running applications in a requester. With ScreenTool you have the MS-Windows CTRL-ESC function on your Amiga. You get a requester with all available screens - so you have a tool to handle comfortable all open screens. ScreenTool is not a Commodity, because it is very small - and so it is fast enough by starting from the disk. By activating with FKey you can start a lot of tools with the keyboard, without using any additional RAM. So ScreenTool will save your CPU and RAM!

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. Author: Armin Vogt Path: GNU/src/amiga/APlusPlus-1.01/ ========== autoconf 1.11 GNU automatic configuration generator. Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a 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).

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.

Author: Free Software Foundation Path: GNU/src/amiga/binutils-1.8.x/ ========== bison 1.22 GNU parser generator yacc replacement 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. Author: Free Software Foundation Path: GNU/src/amiga/bison-1.22/ ========== 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.

It also allows you to define and call macros. Normally DC reads from the standard input; if any command arguments are given to it, they are filenames, and DC reads and executes the contents of the files before reading from standard input. All output is to standard output. Author: Free Software Foundation Path: GNU/src/amiga/dc-0.2/ ========== 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.

This program is intended as a utility to help software developers ensure that their source file names are distinguishable on MS-DOS and 14-character SYSV platforms. To perform this task, doschk reads a list of filenames and produces a report of all the conflicts that would arise if the files were transferred to a MS-DOS or SYSV platform.

It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files. "Red" is a restricted ed: it can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. Author: Andrew Moore Path: GNU/src/amiga/ed-0.1/ ========== 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.

If no Fortran files are named, f2c reads Fortran from standard input and writes C on standard output. Filenames that end with `.p' or `.P' are taken to be prototype files, as produced by option `-P', and are read first.

Most of these programs have significant advantages over their Unix counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options, and fewer arbitrary limits. The programs that can be built with this package are: chgrp, chown, chmod, cp, dd, df, du, install, ln, dir, vdir, ls, mkdir, mvdir, mkfifo, mknod, mv, rm, rmdir and touch. But mvdir is built only on systems that lack the rename system call. The programs cat, cut, expand, head, paste, split, tac, tail and unexpand, which used to be part of the fileutils, are now part of the textutils. Cmp is now part of the diff distribution. Author: Free Software Foundation Path: GNU/src/amiga/fileutils-3.9/ ========== 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 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 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.

Nelson Path: GNU/src/amiga/gdbm-1.7.3/ ========== 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.

The result is typically many times faster than Unix grep or egrep. (Regular expressions containing backreferencing will run more slowly, however.)

Author: L. Peter Deutsch Path: GNU/src/amiga/gs-fonts-2.6.1/ ========== 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.

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.

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.

Gerraty Markus Wild Path: GNU/src/amiga/pdksh-4.9/ ========== 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.

They might have dozzens of features not found in db, but they lacked font sensitivity and a standard GUI look and OS 3.0 behaviour. My main need was to keep record on addresses and telephone numbers of friends and companies. Before this release db was fixed to be just an address and telephone database, but this has changed now. The program is designed to handle information of your choice. Currently you have to use a file editor to specify the database fields and layout as there is no GUI for that. Anyway that's a one time job, then you just USE the database and have fun. Complete GUI support will probably only be included in a commercial product I plan to call REG. 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.

Mosaic provides a hypertext interface to the global Internet. Hypertext is text which contains highlighted links, called hyperlinks or anchors, to other texts. Each highlighted phrase (in color or underlined) is a hyperlink to another document or information resource somewhere on the Net. A single click with the left mouse button on any highlighted phrase will follow the link, and Mosaic will retrieve the document associated with the selected hyperlink and display it. The Mosaic client communicates with HTTP servers. HTTP is the HyperText Transfer Protocol of the WWW (World Wide Web). Mosaic can also communicate with more traditional Internet protocols such as FTP, Gopher, WAIS, NNTP, etc. The hypertext documents viewed with Mosaic are written in HTML (HyperText Markup Language), which is a subset of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language). Among the many formatting features, HTML allows Mosaic to display inlined images. (In fact, an inlined images can serve as a hyperlink just like a word or phrase can). Mosaic also features unlimited multimedia capabilities. File types that Mosaic cannot handle internally, such as mpeg movies, sound files, Postscript documents, and JPEG images, are automatically sent to external viewers (or players).

It allows you to create Windows and Menus which can then be turned into source code by the Producers. At present there are two producers, the CProducer and the PasProducer, more producers may become available in the future. The Designer supports the importing of images which can then be used in windows or menus as well as being placed in the produced source code for your use. Menus are created using the GadTools library and support V38+ features, text and image items are allowed, keyboard shortcuts and mutual exclusion are supported along with all standard flags, localization of menus is easily added. Menus are all NewLook menus in V38+. Windows are the main part of the Designer. You can create all standard GadTools Gadgets and intuition Boolean Gadgets with all standard options. Text and Images can also be placed on the window as you choose. Extensive options are available to edit the code produced which should cover most eventualities, almost all tags for windows and gadgets are supported including many V38+ tags. The Designer can produce IDCMP handling routines for windows and menus and can create a main file which in many cases will allow the production of an entire program, the programmer just has to fill in the gaps. In V1.4 GadToolsBox files can now be imported to allow enhancement of your previous creations. Full locale support is now included to make programming in multiple languages as easy as possible. Registered users can upgrade to the latest version by using the latest demo version. Extensive on line help is available using amigaguide.library, this must be available for this feature.

Author: Boris Folgmann Path: New/dev/misc/RevUp/ ========== Twilight Development System (TDS) 2.04 Environment for developing source files Twilight Development System (TDS) provides an integrated environment for writing and compiling source files like Turbo Pascal or Borland C/C++. The main program of the package is a powerful text editor called Twilight Editor (Ted) which includes an integrated project manager. This project manager simplifies and speeds up the development of programs composed of different source files (modules). With TDS it's possible to compile and link these modules into an executable file with a single command and if the compiler finds some errors, they will be reported directly by the editor. TDS doesn't provide its own compiler, but can use any compiler or assembler callable from Shell. It can interface directly with many common compilers and assemblers like DICE C, SAS C, Lattice C, Aztec C, DevPac, A68k, PCQ, HCC, GNU-C, Amiga-E, Oberon and even programs like TeX, CatComp and MakeInfo. If the compiler is not supported, it's possible to write a little interface program to convert the error messages in a format readable by the editor. The compile process will be executed concurrently using another program called Twilight Make (TMake), so the user can continue to edit the source files while the compiler is working. Author: Claudio Zani Path: New/dev/misc/TDS/ ========== StackMon 1.3 Monitors stack usage of programs When run StackMon presents a list of all the tasks and processes currently running. The list is sorted alphabetically, with processes before tasks. This list is not updated automatically, as constructing this list requires suspension of multitasking. If you run a program you want to monitor after starting StackMon, click on the 'Update list' gadget so that it appears in the list. If the program you want to monitor was run from the Workbench, its name will be that of the icon; if run from the shell the name is the exact name typed into the shell, with path. Click on the program you wish to monitor and StackMon will begin monitoring. The display consists of numbers and a fuel gauge showing the current stack use relative to the size of the stack. The numbers are: Current: This is the amount of stack in use when the program was last monitored. Largest: The largest recorded stack ever in use by this program. Stack : The stack allocated for this program.

While the file system functions are mostly the original ones, the packet handling routines have been completely re-written. This file system can be installed on the Rigid Disk Block (RDB) of an hard disk to automatically mount a Mac partition (you can even boot from it, if you manage to put the necessary Amiga system files in it). The code is reentrant and is shared among multiple instances of the file system. This means that if you use AmiCDFileSystem on a CD-ROM drive, a magneto-optical drive, two floppy drives and two hard disk partitions, like a friend of mine does, only one copy will be loaded instead of six - saving 100K of memory. Author: Nicola Salmoria, based on AmiCDROM by Frank Munkert Path: New/disk/cdrom/AmiCDFS/ ========== AmiCDROM 1.13 ISO-9660 standard CDROM filesystem AmiCDROM is a CDROM disk filing system for the Commodore Amiga. It supports the ISO-9660 standard, the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol and the Macintosh HFS format. The CDROM drive is mounted as a DOS device (e.g. CD0:). You can access files and directories on a CDROM disk by the usual syntax, e.g. "type cd0:foo/readme.txt". Author: Frank Munkert Path: New/disk/cdrom/AmiCDROM/ ========== MultiFileSystem 1.1 An interface to other file systems Thanks to the versatility of AmigaDOS, we are able to use many different file systems on our disks. The most popular is of course CrossDOS (tm), but many other file systems can be found in the PD. Adding a new file system to the Amiga is simplicity itself: just copy a file in L:, provide a suitable mountlist, and there you go. This works flawlessy if every physical unit is accessed by a single file system, but if multiple file systems share the same device, some problems arise: - You have to call the same unit with different names (e.g. DF0: and PC0:) depending of the kind of disk inserted. - When you insert a PC disk, the Workbench shows a DF0:???? icon, and vice versa; this can be very annoying especially for owners of more than one drive. - When a file system is busy (for example during a DiskCopy), the other file systems can still access the disk; this goes against the concept of "inhibiting" a device. MultiFileSystem solves all of these problems. It isn't a file system in the usual way: it is an interface to other file systems. When you mount it, you tell it which file systems it should use; afterwards, when a disk is inserted, MultiFileSystem will recognize it and pass the commands to the appropriate file system. This means that with a single device name, for example DF0:, you can access any conceivable file system! You are not limited to floppy drives, of course: I successfully installed MultiFileSystem over a 128Mb magnetooptical drive. Author: Nicola Salmoria Path: New/disk/misc/MFS/ ========== PFS 9.5.4 Professional filing system for the Amiga The standard AmigaDos filesystem (OFS) is very slow. Commodore has tried to improve the performance of their filesystem a number of times. Workbench 2.0 added the fast filing system (FFS), and now, with Workbench 3.0, we have the fast filing system with directory caching (FFS-DC). This makes directoryscan faster but writing to disk and directory-operations like delete and rename are slower than ever. This made me decide to write a filesystem that does better. High performance - write: 3-5 times faster - read: 50% faster - directoryscan: 10-20 times FFS, 3 times FFS-DC - delete/rename/protect etc: 10-20 times faster Other features - full AmigaDos compatibility - upto 10% more data on a disk - better faulttolerance - parallel access almost without performance loss - disks NEVER get invalidated Both double density and high density floppy disks are supported. This version of the filesystem also supports small harddisk partitions. Partitions up to 31MB are supported. A version for larger partitions is under development and will be available to registered users only. Author: Michiel Pelt Path: New/disk/misc/PFS/ ========== StatRam 3.1 Very fast recoverable ram drive StatRam is a recoverable ram drive. It works on any Amiga using V2.04 or greater of the OS. It handles any filesystem (either Amiga or foreign, like e.g. CrossDOS(tm)), has ten units and may be layed out like a floppy disk for quick diskcopies. It is dynamic, that is it allocates and frees memory as files are copied and deleted, and is probably the most recoverable ram drive available. Even the worst system crash will not erase it, as long as the portion of memory where it resides is not corrupted. New for V3.1 : - Now works with ProfFileSystem - Now works with .ZOM disk images - Fixed the pyrotechnic crash that could occur mounting second and subsequent volumes Author: Richard Waspe Nicola Salmoria Based on code originally by Perry S. Kivolowitz. Path: New/disk/misc/StatRam/ ========== UnDel 1.0 File Undeleting Utility AmigaDos and its filesystem have been released some years ago. During this long period, CBM didn't release any kind of tool which would be able to check and repair disks and recover deleted files. There are many third-party utilities capable of doing such a job, but they are usually terribly slow and they don't support all standard filesystems. I have been so annoyed with this situation that I decided to try to write a good unerasing tool. UnDel is the result of this work. Features: - Supports any standard filesystem - OFS / FFS + DirCache / INTL mode - Very fast (only free blocks are scanned, written in assembly etc.) - Special option for systems with small amount of memory - Nice user interface in shell window ;-) - Recovered files are copied to another device - Protection bits and file note are also recovered - UNDEL is pure and can be made resident Author: Martin Mares Path: New/disk/misc/UnDel/ ========== FileX 2.0 Very nice binary file editor FileX is a binary file editor which offers the following features: - Several files can be modified in several windows and/or views at the same time. - The edit windows can be opened on any public screen and sized to any dimension you want. - Small calculator - Clipboard converter - Fontsensitivity - Locale support if you have OS 2.1 or higher. (English, Finnish, French, German, Swedish (Dutch, Norwegian (not yet included))) - Undo and Redo (only limited to your free memory) - Search and replace with history - Extensive blockfunctions - ARexxport with 77 commands and asynchronical command shell - Printing as hexdump - `Grab memory' to show and modify memory - AppWindow. If FileX runs on the workbench, icons can be moved onto the FileX window and the related file will be loaded automatically. - Iconify - Moreover, FileX will be developed further permanently...

Your task is to guide Balder - the god of light - through groves filled with berserks and snakes. Collect rings, push runestones and try to find the small passage to the next level. This time you don't have to play alone. Get a helping hand from a friend and I assure you the game will be easier as well as funnier. The game comes with 40 levels and a level editor. Unfortunately the levels are almost identical with those included in previous releases. The only exception is that you can use them all in two player mode. If you have made some own levels with the old level editor you can still use them with this new game package in one player mode. To be able to use them with two players you will have to load them into the level editor, place entrances and exits for player two, and save them. I hope you will have a good time!

You control a snake moving about on the screen. The purpose of the snake is to grow as long as possible by eating food. As you eat more food the snake will speed up, and soon it will be very difficult to control. Author: Erik Johannessen Path: New/game/misc/ESnake/ ========== MartinSoft Pengo ?.? Demo Game based on old Pengo game. Pengo is a maze-game. The maze is made up of blocks of ice, which you can push or melt. Blocks are melted by pushing a block that has another block directly in front of it. If that sounds confusing (and it probably does), play the game, and you'll understand what I meant. The ice blocks that form the "border" around the maze can't be pushed or melted. Also, on some levels there are special gold blocks, which can't be moved. On each level there are four enemies. If an enemy catches you, you lose one life. Your weapon against the enemies is the ice blocks; push an ice block onto an enemy, and the enemy will be squashed (but it will re-appear after a while). If the level layout makes it possible, try to "trap" the enemies into small spaces; that will make it a piece of cake to squash them. Generally, trying to limit the ways that the enemies can take (by pushing blocks to the right places) is a good tactic. Learning the different movement patterns for the enemies is also essential; the yellow ones are pretty easy to outsmart without understanding how they move, but the red ones are professional escape artists, and almost impossible to hit if you don't understand their "AI". If you spend too much time on one level, a ghost will appear and start to home in on you. The ghost can't be killed - but it will disappear as soon as you get to the next level. If it catches you, you will lose one life, and it will disappear for a while (the ghost, not the life :) ). If it catches you while you're "invisible" to the enemies, it will simply remove the invisibility and disappear - but it will re-appear very quickly. The aim of the game is to defeat the evil Sarvebuk who awaits you on level 64. So the big question is: how do you get to the next level? Getting to the next level can be achieved by either: 1. Squashing all enemies on the level with ice blocks. 2. Pushing the three ruby blocks together so that they form a horizontal or vertical line. 3. Getting a warp bonus of some sort. Method nr 1 is recommended, as it's the most fun. Squashing many enemies with one block will give more score than squashing them one by one. There are also lots of bonuses and bonus systems in the game, but I won't reveal them here (which would spoil the surprise). Find out about them yourself!

However, it has been converted to 3D Studio and DXF format for PC users and any program that accepts Imagine, 3DS or DXF formats. The demo version contains 2 Babe models (Imagine and 3DS) with some vital bodyparts missing. However, they are fine for rendering as long as the missing parts don't show. Only periphery limbs such as hands and foot are absent from the models. Also, some of the parts are fused together so you can't manipulate them as easily as the registered version.

Hypnotic color cycling effects Many years ago, when a friend of mine had convinced me to buy a used Amiga, I got my hands on a small program named Tunnel. It was originally a demo program for some Modula-2 system; thus source code in Modula-2 was included. The program was so cool, my brother and I used to turn off the light in the room and watch the psychedelic colours flickering by. The program didn't work on my new AGA Amiga - there was no synchronization and the colours shift much too fast. I wrote this quick hack to produce a similar effect, but enhanced to make use of all the 24 color bits of AGA. The 'tunnel' is a very simple effect, but it is cheaper than hallucinogen drugs - unless there are Psilocybin mushrooms growing where you live anyway ;-) Author: Jörgen Grahn Path: New/gfx/aga/AGATunnel/ ========== ADayAtTheBeach ?.?

Around 1930/31, a producer named Pat Powers offered Iwerks the chance to have his own studio and he Accepted. The cartoons Iwerks created Powers would distribute to MGM. Iwerks' first character was Flip the Frog, and flip's debut was in a VERY early 1931 two strip color(three strips are needed for a full spectrum) cartoon called Fiddlesticks. In this cartoon Flip resembled a real frog. after a couple cartoons, the producer urged Iwerks to redesign Flip into something "cuter". In the process Flip gained a hat, gloves, shoes and shorts, making him look a lot less like a frog and more like Mickey Mouse with the ears and black nose ripped off. Flip the Frog cartoons, and Iwerks' cartoons in genenal, did not have much success because Iwerks lacked the inventiveness and storytelling ability to match his abilities as artist and animator. (The reverse could be said about Walt Disney, which is why the two made a very good team). In 1933, Flip the Frog was abandoned for the character Willie Whopper. several years after that, the Powers/Iwerks studio shut down completely. Iwerks went back to Disney, and became a sort of mechanical engineer, pioneering the process of xeroxing pencil drawings onto clear cels (to make the animation process quicker and cheaper). Flip the Frog and the Iwerks studio were almost completely forgotten, except to animation historians. --- -- Until.. In the year 1990, Eric Schwartz attended a presentation of old cartoon shorts at the Columbus College of Art and Design, wher he attends classes. One of the Cartoons shown was a Flip the Frog cartoon, "Room Runners", which impressed Schwartz with its good animation and surprising amount of sexual jokes for a 1930's cartoon. Eric Began to storyboard his own Flip the Frog Cartoon. He originally intended to copy 'Room Runners' but switched to his own storyline. Flip was redesigned, stylised, and modernized (he also looks something like a frog). Using the Amiga computer as his medium, Schwartz brought Flip the Frog back to the world. Flip has appeared in two modern cartoons so far; 'The Dating Game'in 1991 and 'A Day at the Beach'in 1992. More cartoons are planned, for an as yet undetermined date.

This Anim is basically a shameless ad for a new Video I will be coming out with: The Amy the Squirrel video special. The AmyWalks_2 anim itself contains a very small portion of the work that appears in the video itself, in looping form. If any of you were wondering why I had not produced any new animations over the last half of 1992, this is the reason. This tape contains the following animations: AmyWalks At the Movies Amy vs. Walker The History of Amy the Squirrel At the Movies 2 Amy vs. Walker 2 aaaand... A Walk in the Park -- A four and a half minute Amy cartoon that will be available nowhere else but this video. All animations are professionally recorded and presented on Video by an accomplished video production house. This video will be available in early 1993. When production is finished, Versions for NTSC and PAL video formats will be available. If you are interested in obtaining a copy, please write to: E.S. Productions P.O. Box 292684 Kettering, OH 45429-0684 U.S.A. Do Not send any money, as prices have not yet been determined. You will be put on our mailing list to be notified when the tape is ready. This notification will include information about pricing, availability, formats, and any other things I didn't think of here.

Here's a short looping animation starring Amy the Squirrel which represents my small tribute to that Amiga animation pioneer, Leo "Bols Ewhac" Schwab. It was created with the Disney Animation Studio(major parts of which were programmed by Leo), DeluxePaint 3, and Animation Station. In case nobody guessed, it is a 'slight' parody of Leo's famous "Dream goes berserk" Videoscape anim. I hope he likes it.

Author: Eric Schwartz Path: New/gfx/anim/Anims/ ========== Anti-Lemmin ?.? Cute parody of Psygnosis' Lemmings game. This Animation is one I take great pride in. I'm not sure why, possibly because I spent a lot more time on the still graphics, but in any case I think it's one of my best for overall looks, humor, timing, and cinematic nature. I hope I know what's good, I came out with some real turkeys through trial and error. This animation lasts a full two minutes and ten seconds (including titles) and should run in two megabytes of memory if your workbench is not very demanding. NOTE: I have noticed that the Movieplayer program will not always work in some cases, giving a "Can't find libraries" error. I have yet to determine exactly what libraries Movieplayer wants, but I know that Movieplayer will ALWAYS run on a standard commodore-issue workbench(you know, JUST a workbench disk, nothing else), and will rarely run on a 'stripped' workbench like what comes on some other program's disk (i.e. it WON'T run on Deluxepaint's workbench) In case you haven't figured it out already, the Anti-Lemmin' Demo is a rather NASTY parody on that great game company Psygnosis' great game, Lemmings. I sure hope I don't get sued. This animation is freely distributable as long as all files (including this readme) are present upon distribution. The concept and animation are copyright 1991 Eric Schwartz (but I'll admit Psygnosis has some title to the characters). Author: Eric Schwartz Path: New/gfx/anim/Anti-Lemmin/ ========== ATF_Agility ?.? Animation of a jetliner being "buzzed". While attending my freshman year at the Columbus College of Art and Design, I came up with the idea for this animation, My father had recently purchased the Disney Animation studio, and, due to the nature of my animation idea, I chose the fast pageflipping Disney studio other than my usual workhorse, Moviesetter, which,from the nature of its animation system and Hardware/software limitations, can only do about 8-10 frames per second. ATF Agility was fully animated, with many more drawings per second than one of my Moviesetter works, which blits still and animated brushes around the screen. Disney worked wonderfully. Its onion skin feature greatly speeded up production. Disney also promises frame-synched sound, and timing and pallete changes in mid-animation, just like Moviesetter. All those features work beautifully, if you're willing to learn the language of the slightly-esoteric exposure sheet module, But these features are only available when you use Disney's proprietary CFAST animation file format. No biggie, I thought, I'm used to that (Moviesetter's proprietary too), and I would get a lot of benefits that a garden variety ANIM cant do. I colored the Animation in Disney's Ink'n'Paint module, which could use a LOT more capability, so I could keep with the beautiful, clever CFAST format, Right? HAH!! The final CFAST file saved out at 880K for a 22 second, 15 fps, 8-color animation - Just slightly bigger than a disk. because I had no Hard drive, I compressed the file and wrote a script to decompress upon running. Hardly a good solution; the overhead caused it to require 2.5 megs to run properly from a floppy, or 1.5 and an ASSIGN command to run from a hard drive. This was November of 1990. The situation didn't change for a while. June 1991. I purchased Progressive Peripherals' Animation Station, Which promised some of the abilites of the Disney program using standard ANIMs I resaved the CFAST file as an ANIM-5. 432k - Quite an improvement over 880k, Cfast files are just plain huge. Animation Station and its Animplayer allow Pallete changes during an animation, Timing changes for holds on frames without adding duplicate frames, and digitised sound synching via a script file that works exactly like a Sculpt/Movie sound script. It has its share of limitations and problems, (My Animation Station seems to know the GURU personally) but it works, The New ATF Agility runs nearly identically to the original version. Takes up only a bit more than half a disk including player program. only requires 1-meg, and can run from any directory. You can even load it into Dpaint and check it out, but youll probably lose the fringe benefits. Author: Eric Schwartz Path: New/gfx/anim/ATF_Agility/ ========== At the Movies ?.? Amy the Squirrel at the movies Amy the Squirrel goes to a movie with a date. Author: Eric Schwartz Path: New/gfx/anim/AtMovies/ ========== BaitMasking ?.? Cute animation of fishing bait and mask. Here's one of those simple ones. This one actually happens to be a remake of a similar animation I did on the Macintosh (Boo!) to promote Gold Disk's Animation Works software, which is basically an expanded and improved version of the Moviesetter program I use on the Amiga. I have written to Gold Disk, asking them to port the software to the Amiga, as Moviesetter is looking a bit dated now and an AGA compatible program like Moviesetter or Animation Works would be welcome. If you would like to see Animation Works on Amiga, I would urge you to write as well. This animation should run on any Amiga with 2 megs memory. It may run with less memory, depending on your personal setup. If you have problems with the animation, look at the Animlist text file that is with this animation for troubleshooting guidelines. This animation is ©1993 Eric W. Schwartz. It can be freely distributed as long as all files are included (including this readme). More information on my copyrights are included in the AnimList file. Author: Eric Schwartz Path: New/gfx/anim/BaitMasking/ ========== Camouflage ?.? An Aerotoon by Eric Schwartz. This was an interesting experiment in visual style, and looks very different from most of my other Aerotoons. This is due to the fact that much of the graphics for it were created in Deluxepaint, Scene Generator, and Sculpt 4D jr, with the Art Department as an intermediary between them and Moviesetter. I thought it was an interesting thing to try, but don't expect many more like it because its almost too much work. Author: Eric Schwartz Path: New/gfx/anim/Camouflage/ ========== City_Jumper ?.?

All During the war with Iraq, various people kept asking me to do an animation concerning the event. It may be a little late, but here it is. Gulf Conflict was created with the aid of such things as DeluxePaint 3, Imagine, Disney Animation Studio, the AProDraw and Tablet, Draw 4D Pro(on loan from Merical Computers), The Art Department, and the ever-present Moviesetter. The anim's visual style is heavily inspired by the Planetside CDTV demo by Psygnosis(sorry, no super-fast fractal scapes here tho'). One thing I would fix if I had to do it over again are the ugly pallete shifts between some scenes. Those were all my fault, as my palletes were all wildly different when they didn't need to be. This Animation requires at least two megabytes of RAM to run. If your workbench is not too demanding, you probably can run this with 2 megs. If you have a Hard Drive or a demanding workbench eating up your memory, you will most likely need about 2.5 megs. Author: Eric Schwartz Path: New/gfx/anim/GulfConflict/ ========== HowToRunWall ?.?

Finally got around to animating the triceratops that comes with Imagine using bones. This is a test animation in HAM Interlace quarterscreen to keep the file size down. The triceratops gallops across the flatland in front of an erupting volcano, stops and shakes his head furiously, lowers his head and snaps at the ground. The motion of the triceratops still needs some tweaking to look more realistic but this bones stuff becomes addictive. BTW, this animation uses Particles, Applique, the new Mountain Top texture, the new Leather texture and Bones. Author: Ted Stethem Path: New/gfx/anim/TriceraWalk/ ========== VietnamConflict ?.?

That is, instead of simply moving the outline of a window, the entire window contents are moved as you move the mouse. The EGS window system provides this capability, but does not extend it to standard Intuition screens. Hence this commodity. This commodity is intended for use with accelerated graphics cards such as the @{i}GVP Spectrum. @{ui} Although it is possible to use it with standard Amiga AGA screens, it is likely to be impractically slow except possibly in single bitplane modes. However, there are various controls which allow selection of the conditions under which windows should be moved opaquely, and under which they should be moved as an outline. Author: Steve Koren Path: New/gfx/board/OpaqueMove/ ========== ImageStudio 1.0.0 manipulates various graphic formats ImageStudio is written for the casual graphics user who wishes to convert or manipulate various graphics formats on a modest Amiga system. There are several commercial offerings available, however the casual user is paying a lot of money for many facilities and options they would probably never use. Bitmap graphics, by their nature, usually require large amounts of RAM. One of the main objectives of ImageStudio was to reduce this burden by utilising virtual memory - most users have more spare hard disk space than spare RAM. ImageStudio works with several buffers at any one time (dependant on how many levels of undo are specified), each of these buffers can hold either colour-mapped or 24-bit images. For a detailed description of colour-mapped and 24-bit images, See Image types. Author: Andy Dean Graham Dean Path: New/gfx/conv/ImageStudio/ ========== PicMerge 2.1 Merges two same-sized BitMaps This little program merges two same-sized BitMaps by using logical operators. All Amiga-Viewmodes are available, except of the HAM- and 8HAM-Mode. That means, you can work with pictures with up to 256 colors. The idea for this program was born as I was in trouble. How can I merge two animations (one on the left, one on the right) in one? So I done a simple hack to 'OR' the BitMaps. After adding a little GUI-Interface I decided to make PicMerge public. Author: Frank Düber Path: New/gfx/edit/PicMerge/ ========== U_Paint 1.0 Paint Program for A1200 and A4000 Paint Program for A1200 and A4000 Author: Andreas Meinert Path: New/gfx/edit/U_PAINT/ ========== Anim3D 1.4 Plays anims written in special language Anim3D is my first Amiga program longer than a few dozen lines of code and was mainly to teach myself how to program a 'real' application for the Amiga. Basically it plays vector movies that are written in a special programming language that I designed. The original idea was: "Wouldn't it be neat if vector demos could be created and played using a standard program, use the screenmode that you wanted, were smoother on faster machines and multitasked properly?" After all, we can't impress PC users from fast animation 'cos they have faster processors, but we can beat them by making something totally impossible through Windows ;-) Anim3D is a real-time vector movie player for Workbench 3 machines. It has three main features which I think most Amiga software (and demos) should have nowadays: 1) It is extremely friendly to the OS and multitasks properly; I've played animations whilst downloading files on the modem and been playing a tracker module so I think I can safely say this :-) 2) Animations are played at the SAME speed whatever the machine is... slower machines just have a lower frame update rate. This works fine because the display is double-buffered (as you'd expect) so there are no half drawn screens to be seen. 3) It can use any of the display modes available on the machine; the same image is displayed on the screen whatever the resolution. This allows those lucky A4000/040 owners to display anims in mega hi-res while running at the same frame rate that an A1200 might run in lo-res. It also makes use of a special dithering method that I worked out which gives the appearance of more shades of each colour without slowing screen rendering down. This does however require more chip memory than normal. I have designed a language for creating these animations and some simple demo anims have been included to give you an idea of what it can do. Take a look at the animation files by all means (they are only ASCII text), but I wouldn't try writing your own without any documentation!

It allows you to animate 3D texts in all sorts of 3D effects using a simple graphical user interface. You no longer have to use difficult,expensive and slow 3D rendering software to make those stunning 3D leaders. All you need is BluffTitler !! And because BluffTitler works in realtime, you can immediately start recording your leader to video . No more heavy disk operations, memory problems and single frame recorders : simply start BluffTitler and press the record button on your video ! Since computer power is limited you can't expect broadcast quality from a realtime titler, but the result is perfectly suitable for -home video's -semi-professional productions -cable networks -computer presentations Author: Michiel den Outer Path: New/gfx/misc/BluffTitler/ ========== DepackIFF 1.7 Depacks file packed by ByteRun algorithm This program lets you depack any IFF ILBM file with BODY chunk crunched by standard ByteRun algorithm which is always used by all Amiga graphics programs (like DPaint, Brilliance, ADPro, Real) while saving image, brushes and so on. I decided to code this, because ByteRun is not so effective as XPK, LhA (but not always!). If you want to repack images, you will reach the best results only when you pack pure image data, and this is why this program was born and should be useful for all the people wanting save own disk space, eg. BBS SYSOPs (more images and less bytes!).

Educational math game Want a game for the kids that's educational and constructive? Tired of them blasting aliens? Night Math Attack is a motivational game for practicing all 4 math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), created with help from an educational consultant. Faster speed and accuracy at these skills result in better problem-solving math ability and higher test scores. The program has up-beat music, quality graphics, and no requirement for fast hand control. Following the title screen and instructions, the player chooses which math operation to practice. The game screen has a question at the top, 4 answers down the left side, a helicopter in the middle, and a choice of sound on/off at the bottom. The player uses the joystick or cursor keys to fly the chopper up or down so it is level with the correct answer, and then uses the joystick or space bar to fire a missile at the answer. A message then reports whether the choice was right or wrong. The wrong messages are followed by the question with the correct answer to reinforce learning. Wrong choices are generated randomly so that students will no become used to the same choices after repeated plays. After 20 questions a "report card" gives the accuracy rate. There is a print-out option which prints wrong questions and out-of-time questions for further study, which requires the printer driver to be in the devs directory of the boot disk. Practicing math facts as little as 5 minutes a day usually results in a grade score improvement.

Imagine2.9 raytraced image This is a single frame from a long animation I have been working on. It uses several new features from Imagine 2.9. The entire animation is over 200 Megabytes in HAM Interlace Overscan. It looks pretty good genlocked onto videotape. The sub comes from out of the distance, makes a turn in front of the camera, and goes on to find the domed underwater city of Atlantis. The undersea plants were made with the new twist, bend, and taper tools in the Detail Editor. The ocean floor is a plane with the new Wave texture. The sunken galleon is from the Imagine 2.0 included objects. The seashells were made with Shelley, which I got off aminet (thanks!). The submarine is my concept of the proposed Centurion class. Yes, I know submarines don't travel underwater with their mast and and periscope up but I thought it looked cooler. Some things I am working on are a better hull texture, cavitation bubbles as the prop turns (maybe with particles), and adding more detail to the hull. Since then, I have made models of the Seawolf, Typhoon, and am working on the Akula plus a zillion other projects. Author: Ted Stethem Path: New/pix/trace/Voyage2Atlantis/ ========== GastonFonts ?.?

It is _extremely_ raw, very incomplete, and probably buggy as hell. My intention is to abuse you as beta tester. ;^) HWGPOST is project that I started because I had some problems with post.library 1.7 (and 1.86 where post.library stayed the same) not handling some PostScript code correctly. So I built on the post 1.7 source. HWGPOST is IMHO a major step towards PostScript Level 2 already and as time and motivation permits it will hopefully become a R&W book compliant PostScript Level 2 interpreter library with maybe some Display PostScript extensions. Currently this archive is probably mostly useful to users of post.library up to 1.7. Major new features for HWGPOST beta 4 ===================================== - image operators support files as source. - startjob/exitserver. - execform. - composite font support. - setsystemparams (pretty much a dummy though). Sorry, setpagedevice has to wait.

If two terms are entered, you may select AND or OR as logical operators. WANT is very fast. Searches on a 1200 take about one second for a 1MB file. A full GUI interface and presetable options via tooltypes make this is a powerful search facility. The output of a search can be directed to your favorite filereader or text editor. This is version 1.017, with a planned release of version 2 around December 1994. WB2.04 & up. ReqTools Library required, but not included. EGREP and GAWK are required and included. CLI or WorkBench. GiftWare. IMPORTANT: The docs for WANT are located in WANT/DOCS. Please read them before installing and using WANT. Installation requires you to leave all of the included files in their directories.

Features ======== o DviHP downloads fonts to printer; printing is therefore much faster, especially when printing large documents. Version 2.1 uses PCL5 font compression. o User friendlyness: you can set parameters through environmental variable "DVIHPOPTS", in a command-line when invoking it from CLI or Shell, via ToolTypes when invoking it from Workbench or via graphical user interface. o It supports printing in landscape orientation. o DviHP allows you to include IFF ILBM files (raster pictures) and PostScript files in your documents. o DviHP lets you redirect output to a file, even when you're printing IFF ILBM pictures and/or PostScript files. o PCL5/PJL support and PCL5 font compression. Author: Ales Pecnik Path: New/text/tex/DviHP/ ========== DviPS 5.58 Converts TeX DVI files to PostScript DviPS takes a DVI file produced by TeX (or by some other processor such as GFtoDVI) and converts it to PostScript, normally sending the result directly to the laserprinter. The DVI file may be specified without the extension. Fonts used may either be resident in the printer or defined as bitmaps in PK files, or a `virtual' combination of both. If the MakeTeXPK program is installed, DviPS will automatically invoke METAFONT to generate fonts that don't already exist. *LOTS* of command line options.

CFX knows a huge amount of the current Amiga filetypes, including a vast number of "cruncher" types. CFX can also give in-depth disassemblies of crunched files, including most address crunched files, relocator crunched files, and some major archive crunched types.

Author: Roland Acton Path: New/util/arc/UOut/ ========== UUCode 36.9 Optimized stand-alone uuencode/uudecode. Encode files for network transmission and decode transferred files. This standard encoding algorithm converts three 8-Bit groups (bytes) to four 6-Bit groups (sextets) of printable characters, which can then be sent over networks which don't support eight data bits. These tools were written because the existing programs did not fit my personal needs. The others were either inconvenient to use, too slow or too oversized, so I decided to write optimized versions myself. Both tools are pure and can be made resident.

You can change palette from 7 presets and select hour system if you want. Author: Paul Hernik Path: New/util/boot/AmigaWorkStation/ ========== BReq 1.16 Gadgets for OS selection during startup This program started out as a simple program to solve a simple problem - choose to boot into AmigaOS or NetBSD on a machine that had both options available at startup time BEFORE going through all of the Startup-Sequence. This was originally done using Nico Francois' excellent ReqTools package. After requests came asking for timeout I decided that using Intuition directly was best so the original version was completely scrapped and what is now here came to be. I added a timeout and default feature allowing BReq to go through a default option after a certain amount of time had passed. Realizing that the timeout might be quite long I added a blanker (quite simple once I got the idea of IDCMP) and it was quite silly of me not to make both buttons (or gadgets rather) alterable - so now both gads can be altered on the command line. Author: Eric R. Augustine Path: New/util/boot/BReq/ ========== PicBoot 2.3 Displays picture during bootup Have you removed all output in your 2.0+ startup, and only see a black screen during boot? Wouldn't it be nice to have a picture instead? A picture that disappeared when the Workbench screen opened? If so, PicBoot is certainly a program for you. What it will do is to read any IFF file containing an ILBM picture - or a GIF file - and show that picture. As soon as the Workbench screen appears (or you press any mouse-button), the picture will go away. Author: Magnus Holmgren Path: New/util/boot/picboot/ ========== CX 1.1 replacement of the "Exchange" program CX is a replacement of the original "Exchange" program from the Workbench. I wrote it, because I need a program with the ability of removing all commodities in the system. And I always wanted to write a commodity. One of my goals was to be compatible in the using to the original program, but also offer new methods of executing actions. You can select all buttons and gadgets by pressing a key on your keyboard, use the cursor keys to move around in the list of commodities and other things. I hope, that this version is mostly bug free. Author: Fin Schuppenhauer Path: New/util/cdity/CX/ ========== CXHandler 2.9 CXHandler is an Exchange clone CXHandler is an Exchange clone. The program is controlable via keys and is font sensitiv. Author: Martin Stengle Path: New/util/cdity/CXHandler/ ========== Event 1.14 Tool to remember everything you want.

Features: --------- * requiers only 12 kB memory * the event´s are storend in a data file * multitasking friendly * "gliding" event´s * loading only the Event´s from the current day Author: Klaus Muckenhuber Path: New/util/cdity/Event/ ========== LockColors 1.1a Complete control over Workbench Palette LockColors uses the OS3.0+ specific ObtainPen() to give you complete control over your WorkBench palette. Now you can have correct colors for all your MagicWb-icons independently of your screendepth. Tested with Enforcer/Mungwall. NOTE: Your WorkBench must be deeper than 8 colors to use LockColors, because on screens <=8 colors all the pens are locked by the system (and all the pens can be altered with the system palette editor, so LockColors really has no practical use on those screens) - Version 1.1a fixes an annoying problem when LockColors has to use its TimeOut feature. After this, all pens locked by LockColors seemed to be systemlocked. - LockColors no longer blocks your Workbench from closing. - Fixed some bugs and added some requested features. Author: Torgeir Hovden Path: New/util/cdity/LockColors/ ========== MagicCXDansk ?.? Danish catalogs for MagicCX 1.0 These are the danish catalogs for MagicCX 1.0.

Author: David Kinder Path: New/util/cdity/RunList-Kinder/ ========== RunList 1.1 Commodity to run programs from a list. RunList, RunListBig and RunListSmall are small tools helping to run programs. They are all the same, differ only by size in order to meet ones need. Author: Heinz Reinert Path: New/util/cdity/RunList-Reinert/ ========== ScreenTool 1.04 Switch between screens using hotkeys. On the MS-DOS´en you have the keyboard shortcut CTRL-TAB to cycle between the applications, and the CTRL-ESC shortcut to view all running applications in a requester. With ScreenTool you have the MS-Windows CTRL-ESC function on your Amiga. You get a requester with all available screens - so you have a tool to handle comfortable all open screens. ScreenTool is not a Commodity, because it is very small - and so it is fast enough by starting from the disk. By activating with FKey you can start a lot of tools with the keyboard, without using any additional RAM. So ScreenTool will save your CPU and RAM! Author: Klaus Muckenhuber Path: New/util/cdity/ScreenTool/ ========== SMenu 1.0 Powerful and fast-working screenselector SMenu is a screenselector with several nice features. o It is a Commodity. o It works fast, because the list of screens can be accessed with a simple mouseclick or a hotkey. o The configuration is done in a GUI. o Full keyboard support. o It is possible to define a hotkey for each screen. o ARexx support.

Nelson Path: New/util/edit/HyperANSI/ ========== SkoEd 1.14 A Programmer's Editor Revisited. Well, when I got my Amiga I found that there were no editors around that I really liked. Some were good and did quite a lot but they were not me. So I wrote SkoEd which is in may ways my personal preference. SkoEd is by no means the begin and end all of Editors; there are a number of areas which need improving. It is however at a stage that I feel can be released to the Amiga community. FEATURES Here is a list of what SkoEd can do. - Remaps keystrokes to commands. - Customisable. - Multiple Files. - Multiple Views of files. - Clones the WorkBench Screen and WorkBench Screen text font. - Set own Screen and Font. - Reads,Writes and Converts IBM format files. - A FAST Find/Replace. - Column Blocks. - Clipboard support. - AutoSave after time limit expires. - Folding. - Match {([])}. - Count number of braces {} in a file. - Word Completion. (I like this one :-) - Zoom/Explode of Views. - Memory file to remember files previously loaded and cursor location. - Unlimited Marks to allow you to go instantly to a marked location. - Undelete n Deletes. (n is setable) - Iconify. - Script file bit is handled correctly (and is settable). - AREXX - User Configurable Gadget Strip - And other, less obvious functions. Here are the areas I wish to improve. - A full macro language. (although with Arexx do I need this?) - A full Undo as opposed to Undelete (and Redo). - Repeat command. - Allow user to create own menu strips.

It has 12 or 24 hour modes, an optional hourly chime and a snooze button. It can be iconified down to just a title bar or opened to reveal a graphic user interface. Author: Brian Neal Path: New/util/misc/AlarmingClock/ ========== AutoScroll 1.0 allows use of OS2.0 AUTOSCROLL & NEWLOOK 1. This little proggy allows you to use OS2.0 AUTOSCROLL and NEWLOOK, which are probably not used by OS1.3 dedicated programs. 2. AUTOSCROLL flag lets you drag active screen by mouse movements only (eg. drag screen down, then move pointer to the bottom of screen and move it down). NOWLOOK flag makes screen's titlebar and menus to be drawn OS2.0+ style (white background, underline, 3D gadgets) instead of disgusting 1.3 look. Author: Marcin Orlowski Path: New/util/misc/AutoScroll/ ========== AXDiff 1.0 Graphical comparison & merge utility AXDiff is a graphical file comparison and merge utility. It allows you to see files side by side with differences between the files highlighted. You may move within the files looking at the differences within context of the rest of the file. A merged file can be created which contains the lines which do not differ between files along with user-selected lines from the sections which differ. You can select either no part, either part, or both parts of the sections which differ to be written to the merged file. Selectable fonts, sizes, and other options too. Author: Jim Lawrie Path: New/util/misc/AXDiff/ ========== CacheFont 1.1 Vastly increase speed of font requsters CacheFont is a small patch that will dramatically increase the speed of font requesters. It cuts the access time of a font requester containing about 100 fonts from 14 seconds (without CacheFont) to half a second (with CacheFont). It has been tested extensively on many utilities and many computers without any problems. Version 1.1 fixes a bug with Tagged Font Lists. It should now work with most (if not *all*) software. Author: Adam Dawes Path: New/util/misc/CacheFont/ ========== FindTask 1.01 Finds program by its own task's name, This little program (OS2.0+) is dedicated to all of you using AmigaDOS commands in all-kind scripts.

Author: Marcin Orlowski Path: New/util/misc/FindTask/ ========== IFFMaster 1.3 Show IFF structure & chunk contents IFF Master is a program that allows you to have a view inside the structure of IFF files. It is not yet another picture viewer or sound sample player, but it displays the internal entities (chunks) of a file. For example, the headers of pictures (ILBM) or sound samples (8SVX) are displayed in clear, so you can directly read the size and depth of the image or the sampling rate. Current features (V 1.3) include: - MUI application - localized GUI (with AmigaOS 2.1 or later) - Extensive chunk type library (currently 37 form types, 234 known chunks, 60 of these with comprehensive structure description) - Chunk contents are presented alternatively as structure, text or hexdump - Bit fields and enumeration types are displayed in clear - Fixed point values are printed in decimal (e.g. 8SVX.VHDR.Volume) - Callback hooks for special attributes, e.g. the Mode-ID inside the CAMG chunk is de-referenced (e.g. "PAL: Hires"). - clipboard support - chunk contents and partial FORMs can be saved - AppWindow and AppIcon Features new for V 1.3: BUG prefs window: close gadget now functioning BUG Cycle chain (TAB) now works in all windows NEW new chunk types: IAND, IANM, DR2D, RGB8, RGBN, SPLT NEW hex numbers get a user-chosen indicator, construction of hex dumps is now more than 3 times faster NEW IFFs can be saved, even nested FORMs, e.g. images inside animations NEW Implemented some editing capabilities (delete chunks) NEW Preferences can be saved Author: Kay Drangmeister Path: New/util/misc/IFFMaster/ ========== PopUpScreen 1.02 Pops specified screen to front This program lets you simply add hotkey to any program you wish. To do so you will have to use (for now!) FKey program (or similar one), enter there your hotkey combination, switch COMMAND to RUN PROGRAM and type into the window as follow: POPUPSCREEN SCR <ScreenName> where SCREENNAME is the name of program's screen you want to pop up. NOTE: ScreenName is CASE SENSITIVE! You can also use part of name (abbrev.) by typing eg: SCR=Psych (for screen named: "Psychodelic"). When you are poping screen up its first window will be made active. If you do not like this use NOACTIVATE flag to disable it. When you call this program 2nd time your screen will be sent to back and WorkBench screen will be fronted! Switch INFO prints out all named screens and its size and depeth. Switch HELP will (surprise, surprise) help you... :-) Author: Marcin Orlowski Path: New/util/misc/PopUpScreen/ ========== PPrefs 2.0 Screenmode promotion utility PPrefs is a screenmode promotion utiltity which allows you to promote every available screenmode of your system (including HAM and EHB modes) to another mode. You simply select a source and a destination mode and every program that wants to open a screen with the source mode, instead will open a screen with the destination mode. If you want that some very special programs get their very special screenmode or don't get promoted at all, besides that "mode to mode" promotion, PPrefs supports task/screen specific promotion, as well..address Author: Olaf Gschweng Path: New/util/misc/PPrefs/ ========== RandomX 1.1 Creates very random numbers This utility creates a random number within the specified range (e.g between 1000 and 25312 or 1.001 and 2.321). It uses several sources to create the random number. This utility can be used in startup-sequences on amigas without clocks and it will produce a different number every time.

Weekly, monthly, yearly and unique events are possible. Author: Marcus J. Stratmann Path: New/util/misc/RemindMe/ ========== ReNum 2.1 Changes the names of sequences of files ReNum is a utility that changes the names of sequences of files. ReNum is aimed at helping animators that wishes to transfer files, say from Real3d to DPaint. Real3d calls IFF-files generated as an anim something like this: Pic0, Pic1, ... (from now on called "Dynamic format"), while DPaint wants multiple IFF-files to build an animation, to be in alpha- betical order, often meaning you have to rename your pictures to Pic000, Pic001, and so on ("Fixed format"). This can be very tedious, especially if you have a hundred or more pictures. No more of that, because that's exactly what ReNum does! ReNum can also convert files from Fixed to Dynamic. ReNum is also capable of changing the names (and not the framenumbers) or the numbering of a sequence. Author: Emil Åström Path: New/util/misc/ReNum/ ========== ReqChange 3.4 Makes system use Reqtools requesters ReqChange is a program that patches Intuition, ASL, ARP and REQ to use the ReqTools requesters instead.

Author: Andreas Gelhausen Path: New/util/moni/Scout/ ========== SnoopDos 3.0 System and application monitor SnoopDos SnoopDos is a utility that allows you to monitor a variety of system operations carried out by programs on your Amiga. This includes what files a program is trying to open, what fonts, libraries, devices and environment variables it is looking for, and so on. This is very useful if you are trying to figure out why a certain application won't work properly. Usually, it's because the application can't find a certain configuration file, library or device. This version has many new features not present in version 1.7. Among the most important are a full GUI, support for many new functions, support for monitoring programs compiled with GNU C, and a packet debugger for programmers. Author: Eddy Carroll Path: New/util/moni/SnoopDos/ ========== LockPointer 1.0 Locks pointer on X or Y coordinate 1. I have written program (OS2.04+) because no one modeler of available rendering programs (mainly REAL 3D, REAL 3Dv2, IMAGINE) has very useful possibiliy to lock pointer on any (X or Y) axis, like does DPaint or Brilliance. This program do this insted of it. 2. Running LOCK POINTER via CLI/SHELL you cannot change keys used to lock the pointer, just only install or remove program. The only way to modify those keys is using ToolTypes described in program's icon: LOCK_X - after this tool type you should place key which lock pointer on X axis. LOCK_Y - as above but lock on Y axis. SWITCH - this key pressed together with LMB will switch program on/off without kicking it out of memory.This little program (OS2.0+) is dedicated to all of you using AmigaDOS commands in all-kind scripts. This prog lets you find any program actually being executing, by its own task's name, e.g.: FINDTASK TASK='DeliTracker v1.30' looks for Delitracker v1.30.

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.

MUI is an object oriented system to create and maintain graphical user interfaces. From a programmers point of view, using MUI saves a lot of time and makes life much easier. Thinking about complicated terms like window resizing or font sensitivity is simply not neccesary.\n On the other hand, users of MUI based applications have the ability to customize nearly every pixel of a programs interface according to their personal taste.\n This distribution is interesting for both, users and programmers. Please have a look at the supplied demo programs and at the documentation to see what MUI has to offer.\n MUI is an SASG (Standardized Amiga Shareware Group) product. Author: Stefan Stuntz Path: Useful/dist/dev/gui/MUI/ ========== 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.

It supports the ISO-9660 standard, the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol and the Macintosh HFS format. The CDROM drive is mounted as a DOS device (e.g. CD0:). You can access files and directories on a CDROM disk by the usual syntax, e.g. "type cd0:foo/readme.txt". Author: Frank Munkert Path: Useful/dist/disk/cdrom/AmiCDROM/ ========== 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) Author: Eric Youngdale Frank Munkert Path: Useful/dist/disk/cdrom/mkisofs/ ========== SuperDuper 3.1 Very fast disk copier and formatter A very fast disk copier and formatter. Can make up to four unverified copies from a ram buffer in 36 seconds. Verified copies from a ram buffer take 67 seconds for one destination drive, plus 34 seconds for each additional destination.

It provides flat-file access to a SCSI tape drive from application programs using simple calls to DOS or C library I/O functions. It can also be used with the Amiga TAR utility for disk backups. It uses your existing SCSI adapter's device driver for access to the bus. This version fixes a number of bugs and includes several new features including file number tracking and append-only and read-only safety modes. Author: Robert Rethemeyer Path: Useful/dist/disk/misc/BTNtape/ ========== 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.
