==========================  Contents of Disk 131  ==========================

This is disk 131 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.

Dfc        Copies disks like Maurader, but multitasks.  Replaces both
        diskcopy and format but is smaller than either.  It even has
        a nice little Intuition interface.  Includes source.
        Author:  Tomas Rokicki

HyperBase    Nice little shareware database management system.
        Version 1.6, binary only, source available from authors.

        them to function keys in your startup file!  Includes
        source.
        Author:  Various; enhancements by Tomas Rokicki

WFrags        Another version of Frags, but this one pops up a nice little
        window that updates occasionally.  Necessary for developers
        who wonder what their program is doing to memory, or wonder
        why they can't load that program.  Includes source.
        Author:  Tomas Rokicki

==========================  Contents of Disk 132  ==========================

This is disk 132 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.


Berserk        This animation, unveiled at the September 87 meeting
        of the First Amiga Users Group, got Leo a standing ovation.
        It is a "must see" for every Amiga user, and ranks up
        there with "Juggler" as a premier demo for the Amiga.

        The difference between this distribution, and the one
        on disk 100, is that this one includes "source".  I.E.
        it contains all the object descriptions necessary to
        recreate the animation.  Thus you can, if you like,
        try modifying various objects to create slightly
        different animations, or use it as an example for
        creating your own animations.

        Seldom does a disk get devoted to a single program,
        however animation is one of the Amiga's greatest
        strengths, and I felt it was appropriate to have at
        least one animation that was available at the
        "source code" level.

==========================  Contents of Disk 133  ==========================

This is disk 133 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.


Conman        Extremely useful replacement for the standard console
        handler, that provides line editing and command line
        histories completely transparent to any application program
        that uses CON: windows.  This program is shareware, and well
        worth a donation to the author.  Version 1.1, binary only,
        update to version on disk 100.  New features include
        additional editing keys, fast search keys, undo key, clear
        history command, and more.
        Author:  William Hawes

Crc        Two programs that are very useful for generating
        16-bit CRC listings of the contents of disks, and
        verifying that a given disk's files still compute
        to the same CRC's as listed.  Version 1.0, binary
        only.
        Author:  Don Kindred

CrcLists    Complete CRC check files for disks 1-128 of the
        library, using the Crc program also included on
        this disk.  These were made directly from my master
        disks.
        Author:  Fred Fish

Overscan    Patches the Intuition library so that sizable windows
        with MaxHeight of 200 (400 in interlace) and screens with
        Height of 200 (400 in interlace) will take advantage of
        the PAL overscan capability of Intuition V1.2.  This
        seems to be useful only for European users that wish
        to run software written for the American market, without
        modifying the applications, but still using the additional
        space.  Includes source.
        Author:  Ari Freund

        only.
        Author:  Peter da Silva

Dme        Version 1.29 of Matt's text editor.  Dme is a simple
        WYSIWYG editor designed for programmers.  It is not a
        WYSIWYG word processor in the traditional sense.  Features
        include arbitrary key mapping, fast scrolling, title-line
        statistics multiple windows, and ability to iconify windows.
        Update to version on disk number 113, includes source.
        Author:  Matt Dillon

Find        Find is a utility which searches for files that satisfy
        a given boolean expression of attributes, starting from
        a root pathname and searching recursively down through
        the hierarchy of the file system.  Very much like the
        Unix find program.  Version 1.0, includes source.
        Author:  Rodney Lewis

Library        Demo version of a shareware program that stores textual
        information without regard to structure or content, and
        allows complicated searching for specific patterns.
        Written in assembler for speed, binary only.
        Author:  Bill Brownson

SmartIcon    This shareware program, submitted by the author,
        is an Intuition objects iconifier.  Version 1.0
        is limited to iconifying windows, which is still
        very handy.  It adds a new "iconify gadget" to
        each window, that when clicked on, iconifies the
        window into an icon in the ram: disk.  Binary only,
        source available from author.
        Author:  Gauthier Groult

        program to convert them to Amiga fonts.  There
        are 22 different fonts at various sizes, ranging
        from 15 pixels high to more than 150 pixels.
        The conversion program can also be used with
        the fonts distributed with AmigaTeX, yielding
        an additional 1000 or so more fonts for use
        with other Amiga programs.  Version 2.5,
        binary only.
        Author:  Ali Ozer

        on disk 122, includes source.
        Author:  Ali Ozer

Paste        A version of the Unix paste utility.  Paste concatenates

Zoo        A file archiver, much like "arc" in concept, but different
        in implementation and user interface details.  Includes

        scale.  The display software, though it has a primitive
        user interface, is quite powerful, including functions
        like convolutions, averaging, laplacians, unsharp
        masking, edge detection, gradients, etc.  Binary only.
