- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

-
- 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.
