========================== Contents of Disk 980 ========================== This is disk 980 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. APipe The `APipe-Handler' allows you to add the `APIPE:' DOS device to your system. This device acts as a pipe between two programs, but in a different manner than the standard `PIPE:' device does. This handler interprets the text after the `APIPE:' prefix as a command line to execute, and the process/command which opens the file indicated by the mention of `APIPE:' can now read the standard output or write the standard input of the program indicated by the command line depending on whether the `APIPE:' file was opened for reading or writing, respectively. Thus, the opening an `APIPE:' file is analogous to the UNIX `popen()' call, but it is more widely available to the user. Complete source is included and can be used as an example of a handler. Version 37.5, an update to version 37.4 on disk number 783. Author: Per Bojsen HWGRCS A 3 part distribution of an RCS 5.6.0.1 port to the Amiga, currently at patch level 8. Part 1 contains the binaries and documentation in AmigaGuide and "man" format, part 2 contains the source code to RCS, and part 3 contains the source code and binaries for patch and diffutils. The Revision Control System (RCS) manages multiple revisions of text files. RCS automates the storing, retrieval, logging, identification, and merging of revisions. RCS is useful for text that is revised frequently, for example: programs, doc- umentation, graphics, papers, form letters, etc. Included are RCS 5.6, GNU diffutils 2.6 and an LP utility to support paged diff outputs. Part 1 on disk 980, part 2 is on disk 981, and part 3 is on disk 982. Author: Walter Tichy, Paul Eggert, Heinz Wrobel ========================== Contents of Disk 981 ========================== This is disk 981 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. BootUte A utility to enable more older software work on the Amiga 1200 and 4000 series, It is also useful for users with accelerators. Requires kickstart 2 or above. Binary only. Author: Paul Toyne CloudsAGA This program creates random clouds which you might use in your paint program, as a texture in a ray tracing program or as a background for your workbench. Uses all AGA res- olutions. Now requires Workbench 2.0 or higher. This is version 1.05, a complete rewrite in OBERON-2. Removed more Enforcer hits. Public domain, includes source in OBERON-2. Author: Daniel Amor ConPaste ConPaste is a 2.0 commodity that allows you to paste clipped text into anything. Paste into string gadgets. Paste into any text application. In this new version, ConPaste drops its priority by 1 when pasting text to allow sufficient processor time for the receiving task or window to process the text. When you press a user-defined key or key combina- tion, ConPaste will take any FTXT found in clipboard unit 0, convert the text back into input events, and send the input events into the input stream. The output will go to the active window or string gadget. This is version 37.25, an update to the version distributed with ClipWindow by Jim Harvey, on disk 935. Author: Carolyn Scheppner HuntWindows Starting with 2.0 you can make screens bigger than the visual size of your monitor. On a double-size workbench, catching windows like requesters etc. can be quite annoying at times. This little utility hangs itself on the VBI (Vertical Blank Interrupt) to find out which window is being activated and moves the screen to show the window in full view. Version 3.3, an update to version 1.4 on disk number 774. Includes source in assembler. Author: Jörg Bublath HWGRCS A 3 part distribution of an RCS 5.6.0.1 port to the Amiga, currently at patch level 8.
