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.

It also allows only 3 login attempts before disconnecting. Any attempt to login with an illegal password will be written to the logfile. Upon receiving a legal Login and Password, verified via the passw-file, AGetty will execute a specified program, usually UUCICO or PMail, and stay off the line until the program returns. Then, AGetty will disconnect the caller and reset the modem, returning to its original state. Author: Peter Simons Path: BBS/comm/AGetty-0.218.lha ========== AmiPOP 1.14 A POP 3 client for AmigaDOS. AmiPOP@ is a POP3 Client for AmigaDOS. It was written directly from the POP3 RFC (RFC #1225). AmiPOP is only a simple transport mechanism for moving electronic mail messages between a POP-Host, typically a mainframe, and your local AmigaDOS system. The advantage of POP over other transports such as SMTP is that all E-mail can still be directed to the mainframe system. This is of primary importance when either a dialup line is used, which has a new IP address for each connection, or when a user uses many machines, and wishes to be able to transparently read mail on all of them. AmiPOP features: · AUISG compliant (or at least it tries to be!) · Makes heavy use of 2.0 (and higher) functions such as ReadArgs, utility.library, GadTools, and 2.0 functions in Amiga.lib. · Written from RFC 1225, not a port of a Unix or a PC application. · Small code size, and low system resource usage. · Commodities interface Author: Scott Ellis Path: BBS/comm/AmiPOP-1.14.lha ========== AmiQWK 2.6 QWKMail format offline message system QWKMail format offline message system.

Supras are not supported with this release. This version includes its own fax program, printer driver, fax printer, and fax viewer. This fax program can be used with Class 1 and Class 2 fax modems. It can also be used with the voice modems that AVM supports. It can also work in conjunction with GPFax (or TrapFax) and AXsh (other fax programs or BBSes may be substituted with some ARexx programming) to provide voice, fax, and data, all on one line. This version is a rewrite of ZVM and it requires MUI 1.4 or greater (it is known to work on MUI 2.0). It supports multiple lines (if you have multiple modems of the same type). You can use avmNfax as a simple answering machine with fax capabilities, or use it to provide multiple mailboxes. It can play different "intro" messages depending on the time of day, day of week, random, or manual selection. You can retrieve your messages remotely, etc. The caller can be told of a forwarding number when he enters a particular mailbox. There are many enhancements since 1.19 was released. To reduce setup time, I highly recommend that you also get the pre-recorded English voice files. Look for anything that starts with AVMV (like AVMVEngCVSD7200.lha, AVMVEngADPCM2.lha, etc.).

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).

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.

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.

Triton makes it much easier to create good-looking graphical user interfaces (GUIs) than GadTools, BOOPSI or other systems. The most important features are: - Object oriented system - Automatically font sensitive, font adaptive - Automatic keyboard shortcuts for default window actions - *Really* easy to use - Beautiful customizable OS2.x/3.x look - Comes as a freely distributable shared library - Size! Though Triton is very powerful, it is a shared library of less than 50KB. You don't need any startup tools, BOOPSI classes or other things. It's the Triton among the minnows of GUI creation systems ;) - Resizeability of windows wherever applicable - A Preferences editor which allows you to customize the look and feel of all Triton GUIs By using Triton you don't have to worry about otherwise very time-consuming things like font-sensitivity and resizeability of your windows. What is even more important is that you can easily change your user interfaces later without having to rearrange display objects. Simply add an object to a group and the whole GUI will adapt to make room for it. The usage of a Triton GUI should be pretty clear. All windows have two additional keyboard shortcuts (if not explicitly disabled by the application): 'Esc' will simulate the 'close window' gadget and 'Del' will simulate the 'resize window' gadget. In palette, slider, scroller and similar gadgets with an up/down facility you can use the shifted shortcut to decrease the value.

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.

To get rid of this, I wrote CacheIt. CacheIt is a small floppy- caching commodity that hardly doesn't take up any memory when no disks are in drive and gives a great speed up for your floppies. Another requirement for CacheIt was, that it would free its memory when the system needs it. This is done by a low memory handler. It works fantastically: I worked a lot with disks and my system was down at 10 KB Chip and 10 KB FastMem, when I tried to start a terminal program. No problem: CacheIt released as much track buffers as necessary and the terminal program started! CacheIt works with DD and HD floppy drives.

A special type of CD-ROM drive is required since this program makes use of a vendor unique command supported by Sony drives, such as the CDU-8003A or the Apple CD-300 drive. Please note that due to the work involved reading and converting the audio data music may not always play smoothly. The program will also consume large amounts of chip memory in order to supply the player task with a contiguous stream of data (the maximum number of sound queue packets can be adjusted using a command line parameter). Your system may also experience heavy task loading since the incoming data (more than 88K bytes per second) must be handled quickly and efficiently in order to avoid `pops' and delays.

Author: Klaas Hermanns Path: BBS/disk/FileX-2.0.lha ========== Find 2.3 A tool for searching disk partitions Find is a tool for searching disk partitions and is particularly useful with the disk validator tool "Val" by the same author. It should work with any 512 byte block structured virtual or physical disk partition i.e. it should work with any device that allows you to do any CMD_READ of 512 bytes at multiples of 512 byte Offsets - sequentially from any start block to any end block. Find by-passes the FileSystem running on the device and does direct I/O to the device itself. Author: Andrew Kemmis Path: BBS/disk/Find-2.3.lha ========== 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. Author: Olaf `Olsen' Barthel Path: BBS/disk/Flat-1.3.lha ========== ManageCDPics 1.0 A program to manage all your pictures A GUI-Based cataloger that allows you to create "picture-databases" and easily view the pictures. Author: Markus Hillenbrand Path: BBS/disk/ManageCDPics-1.0.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. Displays and edits full 512-byte sectors via a 106 character wide internal font. Includes a search feature to find specific strings or hex digits, forwards or backwards. 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.

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.

TSO II can be used to optimize (defragment) floppy disks and hard disks in order to speed up directory and file accesses. Contains a German and an English version of the executable and a timer. Requires KickStart 2.04+. Author: J. Heße Path: BBS/disk/TSO_II-2.04.lha ========== 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: BBS/disk/UnDel-1.0.lha ========== Val 2.3 A disk partition validator (OFS or FFS) A disk partition validator that only reads your disk (no writes to it). Should work with any 512 byte block structured virtual or physical disk partition which uses the Original File System (OFS) or Fast File System (FFS). Val will check out the disk and output error messages and warnings according to any problems it may find on the disk, with a reasonably concise message about what it thinks is wrong. Val will find errors that the standard Disk-Validator will ignore, such as a file header that points to more or less blocks than the filesize represents.

MUDs have existed on various computers for about 20 years, usually run at universities on networked computers. In a typical MUD, several people connect to the system at the same time and interact by typing in messages and commands to the MUD. MUDs are usually set up somewhat like text adventures, in that they contain a small world in which the players can explore, solve puzzles, etc. MUDs add to the adventure the possibility of interaction, within the world, of the various players. Players can talk to others in the same location; they can cooperate in solving puzzles; they can compete in improving their characters or personnas; they can engage in combat, etc. The world in which the MUD is set is chosen and built by one or more people who are the implementors or "wizards" or "gods" of the MUD. MUD worlds have been set in various fictional as well as real situations, such as Star Trek, Xanth, the Discworld, etc. Other MUDs specialize in role playing, where the players pick a persona and do their best to stay within it. For example, "furries" on FurryMUD all pick a furred animal as their character. Many MUDs exist on the 'internet', the international network of computer systems, mostly supported by various governments. Amiga computers are not often on this network, so they will usually get their multiple players through serial ports and modems. Amiga-based BBS systems often have multiple lines, and these can be used for connections to AmigaMUD. Today, most MUDs are strictly text based. That is, users do all operations in the MUD by typing commands, and all output is via text messages. In the last couple of years, colour graphics have become quite common on home computers and workstations. MUDs are beginning to take advantage of that capability by introducing simple graphics output. Sound output is also possible. AmigaMUD provides graphics and sound output as a standard element. It also allows the use of the mouse and numeric keypad as input. The system still provides the full text input and output interfaces, however, and can be used in a text-only mode. The standard availability of graphics output and mouse input can change the nature of a MUD, and make it available to those who aren't terribly good at typing, or who are uncomfortable with computers.

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

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!

The basic idea and concept have been heavily influenced by the shareware game "Conquest" and the Microprose game "Civilization". The aim of the game is to spread your civilization through the 26 earth-like planets of the universe map and to defend it from other civilizations by building weapons and war ships. Unfortunately - like all half-realistic simulations and strategy games - Colonial Conquest will reward primitive destructive behavior and colonial instincts without leaving much room for cooperative actions and peaceful living.

To do this, you guess some colors and place them in a row as you see appropriate. When done, the Amiga shows you the results by way of white and black circles.

Lunar landing type game Recent news reports indicate a famous dead rock star has been sighted on the moon. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find the rock star and land near him. The moon is a harsh place, so don't expect to be able to land just anywhere! You have no time limit, but your fuel supply is limited. Fortunately, there's a filling station on the moon, but you'll need to be a pretty good pilot to land on it. Author: John Enright Path: BBS/game/MoonRocks.lha ========== 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!

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

Scorched Tanks is related to a very popular game called Scorched Earth on MS-Dos machines. I've only played Scorched Earth maybe five times ever.

Four and a half minutes of animation of Flip the Frog at the beach. 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.

Sometimes you need 3 MB or more to convert a picture. It is possible to specify memory-usage in the ADPro icon or from the shell but this can be awkward. If you do not specify memory size, ADPro takes the largest free hunk of memory, and leaves you with only small hunks left. This may result in loaders, savers and operators being loaded into chip memory, which is dead slow on an accelerated Amiga. With ADProRunner you can easily control ADPro's memory usage each time you run it.

A tool that converts IFF graphics into several RAW formats, supporting the AGA and future chipsets. This is very useful for game and demo programmers. Full Intuition GUI, ARexx Port, Commodity, Assembler code, many different save formats. Manual in AmigaGuide format. Author: Michael Krause Path: BBS/gfx/AGAiff-1.21.lha ========== AGATunnel ?.? 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 ?.?

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.

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: BBS/gfx/Amy_Does_Schwab.lha ========== 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!

Author: Eric Schwartz Path: BBS/gfx/Anims.lha ========== 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: Mr. Krzysztof Korski Path: BBS/gfx/Armoured_Walker!.lha ========== 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: BBS/gfx/ATF_Agility.lha ========== At the Movies ?.?

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 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!).

Satirical look at the Gulf Conflict. 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 ========== HendrixECS ?.?

Author: Zach Williams Precision Imagery Path: BBS/gfx/ImageDex.lha ========== 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.

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.

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.

Supported formats include: ordinary bitplanes, interleaved bitplanes, chunkypixels, blittermasks, Amiga sprites, IFF ILBMs, workbench icons, Super Nintendo/Famicom and Sega Megadrive/Genesis charactersets and lots of variations on these main formats.\n You can also save the picture's palette in a variety of formats, including ordinary raw 4, 8, or 32 bits-per-gun, Amiga copperlists, IFF ILBM and more.\n All saves can be done in either binary, as linkmodules (objectfiles), or in sourcecode (assembler, C, E or Pascal).\n\n The pictures which contain your images can be stored in IFF ILBM or any format you've got datatypes' support for as the datatypes.library supplied with OS3.0 is used (if present) by PicCon. RAW images and workbench icons can also be loaded (for e.g. reediting), and PicCon also supports loading and handling of standard IFF ANIMs.\n\n Some simple (but, in this context, useful) imageprocessing tools have been included in PicCon, like pen remapping, palette compression, size and depth scaling and palette fitting. Other features that have proved very handy for time-saving purposes are the "gridsave", "autocrop" and "autoscan" functions. The "autoscan" function makes it possible to process a whole picture full of images in one operation. The "gridsave" feature lets you save hundreds of e.g. maptiles for backgroundgraphics in a game in a single command.\n\n Author: Morten Eriksen Path: BBS/gfx/PicCon-2.50.lha ========== PicMerge 2.3 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.

POV Control is a utility that can set the parameters of the Persistence Of Vision 2.x raytracer from the POV Team, only by using an intuition interface.

For the intermediate users of POV and for all the other, POV Control would certainly made them save time. Author: Nicolas Mougel Path: BBS/gfx/POVControl-1.0.lha ========== PovPanel 1.3 GUI for POV 2.2 PovPanel is a graphical frontend for the Persistence of Vision raytracer V2.0/2.2 (mostly known as POV). It allows you to configure all the POV options using checkbox, slider, mx and string gadgets. Once you have configured the options for POV, click on the GO gadget. An asynchronous CLI will open and execute POV with the options you specified. You may now Quit Povpanel and leave pov running, or you can set up more options, press GO and start another POV process. You can do this as many times as you like, but you will soon be running at snail pace. :-) Author: Colin Bell Path: BBS/gfx/PovPanel-1.3.lha ========== PPMQVGA 5 Quantizes PPM files to 8 planes.

You can give instructions for specific screens, give general promotion rules, promote depending on the mode requested by the program, or depending on: the task requesting the screen, the title of the screen or the public screen name for the requested screen. You can also do more than simply change the mode, You can change the DriPens for the screens, the number of colors in the ColorMap, and a lot more (check out the tags for OpenScreenTags, most of them can be changed using the Promotor). Author: Kurt Haenen Path: BBS/gfx/Promotor-1.9.lha ========== PSFonts ?.? 14 type1 fonts for Imagine spline editor Since the release of Imagine 2.9 last November, along with 3.0 a couple of months ago, it has been a little difficult finding Type I Postscript fonts that'll work in Imagine's Spline editor. The reasons for this are varied. Typically, PS fonts in the Amiga domain have been processed with Gold Disk's Font Manager or some other utility for use in DTP applications. Also, these later versions of Imagine have been compiled on a PC and ported to the Amiga. Some of the PS fonts have way too much detail and curves, causing the Spline editor to return an error, or the object comes in as an axis only. So I set upon a quest of sorts, downloading Type I Postscript fonts from various nets and BBSs, and seeing which ones would load into Imagine. Naturally I cannot claim that the fonts in this archive represent the majority available to the Amiga user (at least, I sure hope not!), but they have all been tested and work just fine in 3.0, and presumably, 2.9. They all are, to the best of my knowledge, in the public domain. You will need to play with them a little, checking for duplicate points and coplanar edges. But they do look very nice when rendered. These are the .pfb files only, just put them in your PSFonts directory and you're ready to go (rtfm). In any event, have fun, and keep on rendering! Also included is a 16 color HiRes IFF of a rendered example of each of the fonts. Author: Unknown, submitted by Bill Graham Path: BBS/gfx/PSFonts.lha ========== Pteradactyl ?.? Pteradactyl in flight This is a small quarter-screen HAM Interlace test animation of a pteradactyl in flight flapping its wings, opening its mouth and turning its head from side to side. It shows the use of the Bones feature in Imagine V3.0 to articulate once static objects. It could be easily made to wiggle its feet, blink its eyes, and even land and hop with very little effort. The test anim was done at quarter-screen to keep the size down. I suggest using ViewTek at F7 speed for viewing.

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.

It consists of three programs:\n TSMorph Edit the Morph parameters\n TSMorph-render Generate the morphed images\n TSMorph-prefs Preferences editor\n TSMorph is used to create a parameter file which is used by TSMorph-render to produce the morphed images. Run times can be about 3 seconds per frame for a 150x150 image on a 28Mhz 68040.\n TSMorph-render can be used to either morph one (or a series of) image(s) to another in a set number of frames with a number of control points, or just distort one (or a series of) image(s) with control points. When TSMorph is run without parameters it will display an ASL file requester for a file created by TSMorph, it will then create the images, displaying a Progress Requester on the default public (or named) screen allowing the process to be interrupted and/or stopped.\n ARexx scripts are run before and after each image is processed. These allow the changing of movement and colour to be controlled along with the ability to only generate some frames, and also post image processing (e.g. to change to a non-24-bit format and build an animation).\n TSmorph is used to generate the parameter file. When run it displays an Information Window on a public screen. This allows the input of the file names to morph between, the number of frames, the start frame, the output file names, and the type of morph (single or dual images) to be changed.\n It also allows the editing of control points on the images. The images are displayed on a public screen in resizeable, scrollable windows.\n When the images are displayed control points can be edited in various modes. These modes allow the addition, deletion, linking and unlinking of the control points.\n Context sensitive help is displayed using amigaguide (if available). The 'Help' key can be pressed in the gadgets, over the gadgets, on menus or anytime a window is active.\n Author: Topicsave Limited Path: BBS/gfx/TSMorph-3.0.lha ========== U_Paint 1.0 Paint Program for A1200 and A4000 Paint Program for A1200 and A4000 Author: Andreas Meinert Path: BBS/gfx/U_PAINT-1.0.lha ========== VideoTitler 1.15 Create Title/Credits for your own video Generates professional looking TV titles and credits for your own videos.

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: BBS/GNU/APlusPlus-1.01-src.lha ========== autoconf 2.1 GNU automatic configuration generator.

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.

To gain speed, GNU find now avoids statting files whenever possible.

(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.

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.

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. Author: Jean-loup Gailly Path: BBS/GNU/gzip-1.2.4-diffs.lha ========== 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.

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.

This is libnix, a static (i.e. link) library for gcc 2.3.3 or above. It's not a replacement for ixemul.library (though it's possible to recompile most of the gcc environment with libnix) but a good thing for amiga specific development on gcc: * It's mostly compatible to SAS's way of handling things, i.e. you get even an automatic shared library opening feature and some other things you may miss in ixemul.library. This also means it's ANSI compliant. * It doesn't need any shared libraries than normal Amiga OS ones. * It is not copyrighted by the FSF. Therefore you neither need to include sources nor objects together with your executable. (read the GLGPL _before_ flaming on this statement) * And it's short! I was able to compile a 492 byte 'hello, world' using normal main. * It uses OS20 features whenever necessary. To cut it short: Use ixemul.library for porting Un*x programs, libnix for compiling amiga-only programs and gcc is one of the best Amiga compilers.

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.

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. Author: Larry Wall Path: BBS/GNU/perl-4.036-src.lha ========== 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).

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.

To view these pictures you must have a DCTV and Xspecs-3D or equivalent LCD glasses. Just use your favorite show program and something like the flipglas program by Ed Tannenbaum to view them. The pictures were created by creating 2 separate images in Caligari and then combining them into a single interlaced image with ADpro. Included in the archive is an AREXX script that interlaces the two images together. It is called f3.adpro so that it can be easily run from ADpro. You can rename it to anything you want. Making 3d pictures with Caligari is really easy. Just render the same scene twice with slightly different camera positions for each image. The way that you should move the camera or eye position is to select screen mode and lock out y movement and then move the eye to the left or right. If you move it to the left then this rendering should be the left image. Make sure to save both images with different names such as pic.l and pic.r so that you can tell them apart later when you load them into ADpro. Be careful to not move the eye position too much or the scene will be hard to view with the Xspecs glasses. I hope you enjoy the pictures and if you have any comments or questions please let me know. included pictures: barrel.3d beethoven.3d porche.3d ship.3d teapot.3d tracbot.3d tribot.3d zero-gbot.3d Some of these picture use lightwave objects or robots from the Antic Microbot design pack for Sculpt3d.

So I set about producing some images for photo's and plans of their buildings to show them what could be done with the correct tools and a bit of patience.

After installing MagicWB I disliked my old icons even more and I started to fiddle around with the existing material to produce something more in line with the new 'magic' look of my system. And this is the result. Nothing really original, since I just took a set of MagicWB icons, another set of my old icons and stir-fried them using Deluxe Paint.

The castle in the picture isn't modeled after a real one; I just made it up.\n This is a view showing the entire front face of the castle on a somewhat cloudy and rainy day. Mountains are visible in the background along with a lava flow descending into the ocean.\n Hardware & Software used to create this image:\n Amiga 4000/040 (of course)\n Imagine 2.0 (rendering engine)\n Essence I and II (indispensably cool algorithmic textures packages)\n VistaPro 3.0 (landscape generation)\n Deluxe Paint 4.5 (brushmaps for flags, etc.)\n ImageFX (rain effects & other post processing)\n Notes:\n First, viewing these images in anything less than 800x600x8-bit is a waste of time - too much detail is lost at lower resolutions to make it worthwhile. I've supplied them in two resolutions (896x628 & 1280x1024), both of which look pretty good. Don't even *think* about 320x400xanything or 640x400x4-bit.\n In the image, Essence textures were used for the water, the brick and stone textures on the castle walls, and the lava & steam in the background. VistaPro was used to create the landscape (which is actually quite a bit larger than is visible in the picture). The landscape was imported into Imagine & cleaned up with some Essence bump textures to make it look reasonable without using too many polygons.\n As always, please don't modify the image in ways other than resolution conversion, claim credit for it, or use it for commercial purposes without permission of the author.

JPEG, Flight Simulator, Delft Markt Sq. Size: scaled to 704x512 (square pixels) from 1990x1360 This image shows a flight simulator, being build by the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. It's going to be used for basic research of stability and control of civil airliners, helicopters, cars and ships (in order of importancy). It's nice to know for us Amiga fans that the basic design and visualisation is done in Imagine, by the project leader and me on my A4000/040. I'm busy with a animation of the simulator motion with the data directly out off the control software of the platform. This for checking the boundaries and interference of the actuators (the hydraulic tubes) with the fuselage, which center of gravity is very low in this simulator (the first of its kind). The picture was taken on the Markt of Delft in Holland, I live behind the Townhouse. It was scanned with a HP ScanJet and composited with an Imagine trace in PhotoShop. With the new perspective-edit mode of Imagine2.9 you can place things much more accurate in real photos (vectorized first) than before. Once you have the right angles and lens focal length you can place your object anywhere by translating over the local axis and that interactively. Cool. The picture was 1990x1360 pixels (enough for rasterizing 150 lines/inch to separate color-plates for printing a fullcolor card) so I scaled it down to 704x512 en JPEG'ed it. It has square pixels, it's no NTSC picture, PAL however is close enough. Author: Erwin Zwart Path: BBS/pix/Simulator.jpg.lha ========== SIRDS-Images ?.? 51 Single Image Random Dot Stereograms. An archive of 51 miscellaneous Single Image Random Dot Stereograms. Have you walked through a mall lately? These days, as you wander past most of the poster shops, there will be a large group of people staring at the same poster with surprisingly weird expressions on their faces. Some will be in the initial stages of denial or rejection---they will be concentrating, some slowly rocking their heads backwards and forwards, searching for an image that they have never seen before. Others will be grinning from ear to ear, pointing at the poster, chuckling with their friends that a member of their group hasn't seem them yet. "Come on Bill, come on!", they cry and as Bill gets increasingly more frustrated he concentrates harder and harder, until finally (if he's lucky) he sees a true 3D image, without the need for special glasses or equipment. These pictures are known as Single Image Random Dot Stereograms (SIRDS), or Single Image Stereograms (SIS) depending on whether the picture contains random dots as a base for the 3D effect, or a repetitive pattern. Unfortunately, each commercial company has labelled them differently. Shop owners generally don't know what you mean, unless you say "Hollusion" or one of the many other specific names.

It was rendered on an Amiga 4000 using Imagine 2.0 and the Essence algorithmic texture package. The picture may be freely distributed provided it is not modified in any way and this text file is included.\n This is a 256 color 1024x768 GIF file. The HAM8 version looks better due to the larger number of available colors, but this one uses larger resolution for those with display cards that can handle 1024x768x8.\n I did NOT make a .jpeg file, because the .jpeg seemed to destroy many of the details of the flag and ship even on the most "loss free" setting. The GIF in 8 bit looks better than the jpeg did in 24 bit. Also, this pictures really needs at least 640x400 to be displayed. Rendering to 320x400/HAM6 makes for an absolutely horrible looking image, so there is really no point to providing a conversion in that format. Feel free to convert one of these if you like, but the results won't be much to look at.\n The picture took roughly 4 hours to render on an Amiga 4000/040 in 1024x768 with the highest degree of antialiasing. The animation frames in 640x400 with slightly less anti-aliasing took about 55 minutes each. Essence textures were used for the weathered brick on the lighthouses & the patterns in the lighthouse light beams. Imagine global fog was used to give a feeling of depth and character.\n The final 250 frame animation is the result of 90 Mb of data and about 14000 CPU-minutes of rendering time. I'll upload the animation to an FTP site in a few weeks (after my Dpaint/AGA gets here!). It will require at least 14 Mb of RAM to play, or an HD animation player which supports AGA graphics modes. You will also need an AGA equipped Amiga, obviously.

The picture may be freely distributed provided it is not modified in any way and this text file is included.\n A 896x628 HAM8 picture. The default viewmode is SUPER72. Using anything else will produce a slighty wrong aspect ratio (SUPER72 has roughly square pixels, while those in 640x400 modes are not). You may have to adjust your monitor or overscan prefs to see the entire overscanned SUPER72 picture.\n I did NOT make a .jpeg file, because the .jpeg seemed to destroy many of the details of the flag and ship even on the most "loss free" setting.

This picture was made with Imagine 2.0 for illustrating the stand of BUGSS (French Amiga Users Club) at the ATACOM'93 exhibition. There are my first real pictures with Imagine.

There are common objects in the 3 pictures : - The ground, mirrored checker. - The base of the main object, mirrored blue. - The 2 mirrors doing 135° angle - The same sky (extracted from TSiWF 3D Collection) Here, the main object is a mirrored spongeri fractal 3D triangle extracted from TSiWF Collection, of course *8) with a sphere inside with a snail mapping and the same mapping of it in black & white (bump).

Author: Christoph Feck Path: BBS/pix/TVPreview.lha ========== Twisted_City ?.? 896x628x8 HAM pic of a twisted city I got the idea for this picture after playing around with Imagine's "Conform to Path" feature using some old building objects I had. This feature lets you take an arbitrary object and bend it in a shape defined by a splined path. This was used to make the twisted buildings, radio tower, and bridge supports. The water, galaxy, gas planet, and pits on the bridge road are Essence II textures. Most others are Essence I textures, including the clouds and a lot of other subtler ones.\n Some things didn't turn out quite as I had hoped: the windows on the buildings don't quite follow the buildings' twists in quite the manner that I had wanted them to. The alleged glass elevator on the side of the nearest tall building isn't very convincing; it looked OK close up with the light at the right angle, but it doesn't really come across as glass from this viewpoint. I had also wanted to make things like the airport runway twisted, but it is a bitmap, and aligning objects (for the blue runway lights) with a particular feature in the middle of a brushmap is not very easy in Imagine. The city could also stand to have a little more detail, but I got tired of making objects for it.\n My initial attempt at this image used motion-blurring for the aircraft, but I decided I didn't like that. Too much detail goes away.\n Viewing this image in anything less than 640x400x8-bit is a waste of time; too much detail is lost at lower resolutions to make it worthwhile. I've supplied the image in two resolutions (896x628 & 1280x1024), both of which look pretty good. Don't even *think* about 320x400 or 640x400x4-bit. The image is also (intentionally) dim, so you might have to crank up your monitor brightness a little bit.\n As always, please don't modify the image in ways other than resolution conversion, or claim credit for it, or use it for commercial purposes without permission of the author.

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: BBS/pix/Voyage2Atlantis.lha ========== WeirdPlanet ?.? Sphere inside the hole of a torus. This is a 704 X 562 picture of a sphere inside the hole of a torus (donut). The sphere is golden in colour (not apparent because of its reflectivity) and is altitude mapped to give it weird patterns when reflecting the torus. The torus has a disturbed texture on it and is also altitude mapped but not to the same degree as the sphere. I have also rendered this picture in 1680 X 1188 for printing on A2 size paper on a 400dpi colour bubblejet and the detail looks amazing (possibly because I've never seen anything in that resolution before), the 24 bit IFF of that was 4.2 megs.

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.

What you get here is the fifth version of HWGPOST that is publically available. It is rather raw. 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 5 ===================================== - transparent DOS EPS file with binary headers handling. - heavy magic to make old FreeHand files work. - A fix to make cvi/cvr more flexible. - HWGPOST.datatype - default font lookup if a font is not available. Sorry, setsystemparams and setpagedevice still have to wait. Author: Heinz Wrobel Path: BBS/text/HWGPOST-22.25.lha ========== JemTeX 2.00 Program to enable Japanese typesetting.

MetaFont is the name of a computer font generation system invented by Prof. Donald E. Knuth of Stanford University. It reads text files prepared with `programs' that specify the outline of characters in fonts of type, graphical symbols, or other elements for printing high quality documents. Typesetting systems like 'TeX' make use of the font metric information produced by MetaFont and printer drivers or screen previewers make use of the pixel information as to where to put the `ink.' The usage of the associated programs is described to some detail, but no introduction to the MetaFont language itself is given.

I missed small XPK-understanding file reader with reasonable feature list, but there was none available. Most ( (c) 1992 by Uwe Röhm) can hardly be called small (but it surely has 'reasonable' feature list!). I have to admit that xMore is currently bigger than I planned it to be, but people don't seem to want small programs, they want features! So, what do you get? + light speed search! No loss of speed even if case insensitive and/or backwards! + wildcard search. Searching doesn't slow down if only "?" is used (in fact it is FASTER when "?" is used). + hex mode. + FAST scrolling. Should beat Most (pun intended) textreaders using customized Text() function with custom screen. + displays ANSI styles (no colors) and some backspace-styles + variable TAB size! (now you can read those funny #?.c files with too much TABs ;) + can start one of the four possible editors. + freely definable keys! + font sensitivity, user definable font. + definable window dimensions, defaults to display size. + opens on any public screen or opens it's own screen. + multiple files from shell, Workbench and file requester. + pipe support. + clipboard support. + Support for Directory Opus compatibility. + character conversion. + lots of small details like default zoomed size exactly one line high. Small things make the difference! + can be made resident (has been pure from day one, but who remembers to mention everything) + OS 2.04 required (sorry, v36 users. There just is too much functions in RKMs with text 'this function is broken in V36' that I didn't bother dodging them. To pre-2.0 users xMore is Yet Another Reason To Update. Come on guys, do you use CP/M at work or what ? ;) + Can read files containig more than 65535 lines! With hex mode this is MUST (256K+ file in narrow window = lots of lines!). (This would be suitable place to mention certain well-known directory utility and another XPK-supporting reader which both assume no-one has REALLY big files, but that could give offence to JP and UR, so I won't) - wildcard search only supports "?" - reads whole file into memory (EVERYBODY has min. 1 Meg today) Author: Jorma Oksanen Path: BBS/text/xMore-1.4.lha ========== A-Kwic 2.00 Allows fast keyword search of text data The A-Kwic system provides a facility where users can do keyword searches of text data.\n A-Kwic creates a database of text records.

They can be "anded" or "ored", and "wildcard" specifiers can also be used.\n The A-Kwic was originally developed to index "Fish Disk" content listings. It is also handy for indexing the contents of CD-ROMs. Another use is for companys to index customer files, based on various keywords, or to index customer support trouble reports or product fix descriptions.

Useful for breaking from within scripts Author: Kai Iske Path: BBS/util/BreakName-37.2.lha ========== 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.

Bush produces directory listings showing the structure of a directory and all sub-directories. Why Bush you may ask, we already have DTree on the Amiga? Simple speed and simplicity. Bush's advantages over DTree : - Speed, up to 15%+ faster. - Does not require WB 2. - More compact output. - Aditional features - size display - protection display. However there are some tradeoffs, there is no colour option and no support for PC fonts (Bush is usable and down-to-earth, does a simple tree need colour and connected branches?). Author: Lee Kindness Path: BBS/util/Bush-1.2.lha ========== 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 is easily customized through a Lisp-style extension language and can be tailored to the user's own requirements. Jade is designed to run under a graphical windowing system, systems currently supported are the Commodore Amiga and the X Window System version 11 (but only under Unix). It is the successor to the editor `Jed 2.10' which was released for the Amiga in early 1993. The author has decided to rename it since there is already an editor called 'Jed' available on Unix systems (there is no connection between the two). "Jade" is an anagram of "A Jed", if you want an acronym you could use "Just Another Damn Editor". Jade is compatible with GNU Emacs in terms of keystrokes and command names to a certain extent but it is not intended as a simple copy of Emacs.

The English equivalent would be a program that, when you give it 531, returns "five hundred and thirty-one". The source I used for my numbering-system data only included the suffixes for numbers up into the millions range, so the highest number it can translate into Klingon is 9,999,999 - it also can't translate decimals, as those weren't covered in the Klingon Dictionary either.

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.

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.

Calender programs are plentiful for the Amiga, you can always find another program sitting on a board which tells you what you are doing today. However I feel none of the programs I have tried actually are useful and easy to read. The good thing about remind is that it contains all the information in one window, including what you need to do today, what you need to do within several days, and what you have to do for the rest of the year. The user interface has been remarked on by several people for its clarity. Its compact, completely configurable (well nearly), and its free.

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.

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.

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 2.1 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.

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 2.7 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-3.12/ ========== findutils 4.1 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. Author: Vern Paxson Van Jacobson Jef Poskanzer Path: GNU/src/amiga/flex-2.4.7/ ========== gawk 2.15.5 Pattern scanning & processing.

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.

The access provided is that of storing, retrieval, and deletion by key and a non-sorted traversal of all keys. A process is allowed to use multiple data files at the same time. Author: Philip A. 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.

Author: Path: GNU/src/amiga/gnat-1.80/ ========== grep 2.0 GNU grep package GNU grep is based on a fast lazy-state deterministic matcher (about twice as fast as stock Unix egrep) hybridized with a Boyer-Moore- Gosper search for a fixed string that eliminates impossible text from being considered by the full regexp matcher without necessarily having to look at every character. 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. In version 1.2 and more recent versions, the GNU style of indenting is the default.

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. Author: Pace Willisson Path: GNU/src/amiga/ispell-4.0/ ========== ixemul 40.4 Unix emulation environment, Amiga lib.

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.

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.
