========================== Contents of Disk 100 ========================== This is disk 100 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. Author: Leo Schwab 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 1.0, binary only. Author: William Hawes WBLander Another interesting Workbench display hack. This one is really a game in disguise. Previously released on disk number 85 as "Rocket", this one has been upgraded to have sound effects. Binary only. Author: Peter da Silva ========================== Contents of Disk 101 ========================== This is disk 101 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. CirPlane A circular plane generator for VideoScape 3D. Generates a clockwise circular polygon with the specified number of vertices. Used, for example, to cap a cylinder or to generate surface detail. Version 1.0, includes source. Author: Thad Floryan IconAssembler This program loads existing WorkBench icon files and allows you to change either the primary or alternate images to another image loaded from an IFF-brush file. Binary only. Author: Stefan Lindahl MicroSPELL MicroSPELL is a standalone spelling checker which scans text files and reports on misspelled words. It has a 1000 word "common word" list, a 43,000 word main dictionary, and supports multiple user dictionaries. Also interfaces quite nicely with MicroEMACS 3.9, with an emacs macro to step through the source file, stopping at each suspect word and allowing the user to dispose of it in different ways. Version 1.0, includes source. Author: Daniel Lawrence Midi A midi library and utilities set. This looks like a very complete package, though I have no way of testing anything since I have no midi hardware. The midi utilities include a midi monitor to display incoming midi messages to the console, a routing utility, a midi library status utility, and more. Also includes source. Author: Bill Barton PsIntrp A postscript interpreter that reads postscript files and previews them on an Amiga screen. Interactive input and output takes place in a small window. The page to be show is composed behind the window in an interlaced screen with 16 colors. Can also take input from a file. Includes source in assembler. Author: Greg Lee StartUps Three replacements for the standard C startup files, Astartup.obj and LStartup.obj. The options include (1) BothStartup.obj, for WorkBench programs or CLI programs with or without command line parameters, (2) WBStartup.obj, for WorkBench programs or CLI programs that require no command line parameters, and (3) CLIStartup.obj, for CLI programs that require command line parameters but do not need to be able to be runnable from WorkBench. Includes source. Author: Bryce Nesbitt ========================== Contents of Disk 102 ========================== This is disk 102 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. Dbug Machine independent macro based C debugging package. Provides function trace, selective printing of internal state information, and more. This is an update to the version released on disk 41, and now includes a machine independent profiling mechanism. Includes source. Author: Fred Fish; profiling support by Binayak Banerjee Match_stuff Heavy duty text pattern matching stuff. The pattern syntax is an extension of standard AmigaDOS filename matching. Also includes some simply matched text replacement capability. Includes source. Author: Pete Goodeve Sectorama A program designed to help Amiga users recover lost or damaged data from floppy or hard drives, or to repair a damaged volume. The author wrote this out of frustration with existing tools when he had multiple hard disk drive failures over the course of several months. Binary only. Author: David Joiner SiliCon A smart input line interpreter that provides a separate command window with full editing and recall of previous commands. Actual name is "Sili(Con:)". This is an update to the version first released on disk number 50. Binary only. Author: Pete Goodeve Xicon Xicon lets you use icons to call up scripts containing CLI commands. This is version 2.00, an update to the version first released on disk 31, and includes close gadgets, window size specification, text display capability, plus more. Binary only. Author: Pete Goodeve ========================== Contents of Disk 103 ========================== This is disk 103 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. AvlTrees Library and test program that implement routines for creating and using balanced binary trees (AVL trees) held entirely in memory. Includes source. Author: Paul Vixie Calc A programmable calculator program with similarities to a hand-held RPN calculator. Can run either interactively or in "script" mode by reading programs from a file. Version 1.0, shareware, binary only. Author: Bob Brooks Cref A C cross referencer program. Includes source. Author: Mike Edmonds; Amiga port by Joel Swank DosKwik A pair of programs which allow you to save files, or a group of files, to one or more floppies for quick loading (loading up a ram disk for example). Does not store files in DOS format, which is why it is faster. Binary only, shareware. Author: Gary Kemper IntuiDOS IntuiDOS is a program to give improved control over, and handling of, the material on all diskettes in the 'CLI-area' by employing a multi-disk, scrollable directory and using Intuition techniques to issue DOS commands. Written in assembler. Binary only. Author: Lennart Sandin MFF-Update A text import utility for MicroFiche Filer (demo version released on disk 89) and updates to some PD disk library databases. Binary only. Author: Gary Samad Pack-It Pack-it will take all the files and directories on a disk and pack them into a single file for electronic transmission via modem. Binary only, shareware. Author: Gary Kemper Sol Amiga version of solitaire game posted to usenet some time ago and modified to use Amiga console control codes in place of curses calls. Includes source. Author: David Goodenough; Amiga port by Joel Swank ========================== Contents of Disk 104 ========================== This is disk 104 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. 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 initial Amiga port of AnalytiCalc, and as such the console interface is somewhat crude and in addition requires use of a custom keymap (one such is supplied) for sensible operation. This will be improved upon, but meanwhile the program is released with complete sources, documents, and executables. The graphics program and the DIF file access program are not yet ported; these will be released when they are ready. 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. 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. If you haven't already printed the documentation, please do so before trying to operate AnalytiCalc. Then, READ IT! You should also make sure that you have placed a "write-protect" tab on your AnalytiCalc distribution diskettes, so that they can't be accidentally erased or overwritten. You should now make a copy of your AnalytiCalc disks. These will also serve as your "run-time" system diskettes. De-archive AnalyExe.Arc and AnalyDoc.Arc at least onto a blank disk and read the document files and release notes. You'll need a bit of AmigaDos familiarity to set things up (read how to use the ASSIGN command and the SETMAP command and ASSIGN something as DK:; also set your stack large with the STACK command.) If you are using disk file memory, FACC is a good thing to use also. PLEASE READ THE MANUALS though, to save us all a lot of headaches. SOME MAXIMUMS AND MINIMUMS.

In no event will the Author be liable to you for any damages, including any lost profits, lost savings or other incidental or consequential dmages arising out of the use of or inability to use these programs, even if the Author has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any other party. THE USER-SUPPORTED CONCEPT. User-Supported Software You are encouraged to copy and share this program with others. If after evaluating this program you find it to be useful, I trust you to send a $10.00 payment. Glenn C. Everhart 25 Sleigh Ride Rd. Glen Mills, Pa. 19342 To Be Done: Future plans for AnalytiCalc: 1. Add TAN, ASIN, ACOS, and 2-argument ATAN (one argument ATAN is present now). (Done in VAX version; trivial mod.) 2. Interface to raw: device instead of con: device and add more flexible parsing of keystrokes so custom keymaps can be junked. 3. Allow data files to be on a logical device. (Actually, FACC may make this need obsolete). 4. Minor cleanups to XQTCMD and a couple other places to clean up and more thoroughly bullet proof the code. 5. Fix bugs as they are discovered. 6. Allow use on non-interlaced screens by redoing the two command and display windows as pseudo-requestors. Auxiliary files: 1. Port DIFDB (DIF to database or AnalytiCalc saved format and back converter) to Amiga. 2. Port PCGRAF to Amiga. 3. Port some of the BASIC graphics packages to Amiga. Possibly compile some of them. 4. Supply the Business Expense Report, manpower planner, and income tax templates as extra examples. Possibly do a game of LIFE template too, just for fun. Other programs: Port the RIM relational DBMS to Amiga as a companion piece. (This has already been done porting from CDC to VAX to MSDOS (the last by me), and should be straightforward). I have found that Absoft Fortran 2.3 is a stable and usable compiler and would like to acknowledge gratefully its contribution. He who wants to add to or modify AnalytiCalc needs Absoft Fortran 2.3 (or later, I suppose) to build it with. Anyone who has Absoft Fortran-020 for the 68020 is invited to recompile this program to use the faster chips. I didn't have either money or machine to try a 68020/68881 version, but see no reason why it would fail.
