- ========================== Contents of Disk 050 ==========================
-
- This is disk 50 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
-
- Note that many of the programs on this disk are shareware/freeware.
- This means that if you find them useful, you are morally obligated
- to send a small donation to the author to help support his efforts and
- fund further development. I hope that by including them in this
- library I have furthered the author's goals of widest possible
- distribution and thus maximum return. Also note (for those that
- like to split hairs) that I am distributing this disk as a "freebee".
- To receive a copy, just request it when ordering any other disks from
- the library.
-
- Asm A shareware macro assembler, submitted by the author.
- Asm is a 68010 macro assembler that is compatible with

- and includes bug fixes, additional standard Motorola
- mnemonics and a simple startup code module.

- Bison A replacement for unix "yacc" command. This is from

- from the Free Software Foundation. This is a working
- update to the version on disk number 4, provided by

-
- Compress This is an update to the compress version released
- on disk number 6. It is tested and seems to work
- well except for a couple glitches noticed at the
- last minute (see the README file). Compress reduces the
- size of the named files using adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding.
- The amount of compression obtained depends on the size of
- the input, the number of bits per code, and the distribution
- of common substrings. Typically, text such as source code
- or English is reduced by 50-60%. Compression is generally
- much better then that achieved by Huffman coding
- (as used in "pack") or adaptive Huffman coding
- (as used in "compact"), and takes less time to compute.
- Author: Thomas Spencer, with improvements by others
