========================== Contents of Disk 140 ==========================
This is disk 140 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
SBProlog Volume 1 of the 2 volume Stony Brook Prolog (SBP)
distribution, version 2.3.2. This volume contains the
executables and libraries. Volume 2, on disk 141,
contains the C and Prolog source code.
From the SB-Prolog System, Version 2.2 User Manual:
"SB-Prolog is a public-domain Prolog system for Unix(tm)
based systems originally developed at SUNY, Stony Brook.
The core of the system is an emulator, written in C for
portability, of a Prolog virtual machine that is an extension
of the Warren Abstract Machine. The remainder of the system,
including the translator from Prolog to the virtual machine
instructions, is written in Prolog."
In addition to providing a compiler, SB-Prolog also offers
advanced features such as dynamic loading, mixing of compiled
and interpreted code, macros, extension tables, a debugging
facility offering two levels of tracing, profiling tools, and
other utilities.

Amiga port by David Roch and Scott Evernden
SmallC An Amiga port of the Small-C compiler, written by Ron
Cain and published in Dr. Dobb's Journal, in about 1980.
Small-C is a rather small subset of the full 'C' language.
However, it is capable of compiling itself, and other
small, useful programs. Requires an assembler and linker
to complete the package and produce working executables.
Includes source and binary.
Author: Ron Cain. Amiga port by Willi Kusche.
========================== Contents of Disk 142 ==========================
This is disk 142 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
Diff A program that uses the same algorithm as the Unix
diff program and also produces context diffs, suitable
for use with patch. This is the same version that was
distributed on disk 138, but now includes the missing
files (including source code).
Author: Unknown (Decus C diff)
FracGen A fractal generator program that generates fractal
pictures from "seeds" that you create. This is
unlike any of the other "fractal generators" I've
seen. It can be used to load and display previously
created fractal pictures, modify existing fractals,
or create your own fractals. Version 1.1, binary
only.
Author: Doug Houck
SciSubr The Scientific Subroutine Package from DECUS, ported to
the Amiga to run with Absoft Fortran. This is a valuable
resource of mathematical and statistical source code
for those doing Fortran work on the Amiga.
Author: Unknown; ported to the Amiga by Glenn Everhart
========================== Contents of Disk 143 ==========================
This is disk 143 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
Rim RIM-5 (Relational Information Manager) is a full
relational DBMS that is suitable for VERY large
databases using B-Tree data storage. It has a
crude (by today's standards) user interface, but
since full source code is provided, this can be
fixed. Versions of RIM run on a wide variety of
systems, small and large, and produce compatible
databases. Also includes a built in HELP database
and a programming language. Full Fortran source
code and documentation included.

========================== Contents of Disk 144 ==========================
This is disk 144 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
This disk contains a copy of Glenn Everhart's large and powerful
spreadsheet program called AnalytiCalc, submitted to me directly by
Glenn for inclusion in the library as an update to the version released
on disk 104. The remainder of this file is Glenn's "Abstract.txt" file
that describes AnalytiCalc. Source and documentation is included on the
disk in arc'd form because it otherwise would not all fit on the disk.
====================
AnalytiCalc Abstract:
AnalytiCalc is a large and powerful spreadsheet program with
sufficient extra features to have some pretentions of acting as an
"integrated system". It is a virtual memory system supporting up to
18000 columns and 18000 rows, multiple equations per cell, an outlining
system, built-in cell annotation, and datafile access from any cell(s)
of the sheet, plus an array of functions not present in most commercial
spreadsheets. This disk represents the third version of an initial Amiga
port of AnalytiCalc, and as such the console interface is somewhat crude and
uses a set of command files in an externally assigned area (assigned to DK:)
to handle the function keys. A custom keymap can also be used, which was
supplied in the initial version. The program comes with complete sources,
documents, and executables, and in addition with the source code for the
"auxiliary utilities" which handle DIF format conversion and character
graphics. (The executables are not adequately tested on amiga as yet, though
they work on VAX, PDP11, and IBM PC.)
AnalytiCalc for the Amiga uses files compatible with those
for AnalytiCalc on MS-DOS, VMS, or RSX-11M or IAS. An example project
planner spreadsheet is included in the distribution to show off some of
the things you can do. More example sheets will be forthcoming in the
future. AnalytiCalc also supports matrix math, FFTs, infinite windowing,
linear regression, date arithmetic, internal and external macros, LOTS
of cell addressing modes, goal seeking in up to 8 dimensions, and more.
AnalytiCalc requires perhaps 600K of RAM memory, at least one
360K diskette drive, and AmigaDOS 1.2, plus a larger than default stack.
Display sizes supported can be up to 132 characters wide by up to 76
lines long. Sorry; I don't think AnalytiCalc supports proportional
fonts very well, though it should manage not to be totally brain damaged
with them. The manual requires an 80 column printer.
To see the documentation you need either a printer 80 columns wide
to print it, or an 80 column screen to view it on.
** PLEASE read the README.1ST file for brief instructions on setting up
a working AnalytiCalc disk. Please read the manual at least once over
lightly too... ***
SOME DO-NOT'S
1. DO NOT use AnalytiCalc until you have read the documentation.
2. DO NOT forget to make regular backup copies of your database.
3. DO NOT exit (X) the progam without saving your work if you
want it saved. (You will be asked to confirm you really want
to leave, however.)
GETTING STARTED.
See the README.1ST file!!!
