mortgage calculator etc. Zoo - file packer a
little like ARC.
Disc 75: More utilities: Address and calender organizers
written in Amiga basic (included) and are very
good. Fpic - graphics processor. Dosplus 1 & 2
which is a series of CLI utilites to be added
to the C dir (areacode,asc,Autonote,bit,chr,

viewing utility. DiscUtilityIII. Flight Sim II

cycle), Popcli and Slider. Good introductory
disc for people new to PD.
Disc 134: 2nd of the Cli utility discs, this one based
around the ARP (Amigados replacement project)
which is in short a much faster alternative to
the standard CLI. As well as the ARC 'c' cli
commands this disc contains BLINK, the freely
available Linker for use with Assemblers etc.
Said to be much better than the commercial
Alink available from Commodore.Bootwriter for
writing bootblocks (unsurprisingly).CLED,Conman,
Crunch,Disksalv,Guardian,IconEd,Texed,Smush,
Zapicon,Zoo.
Disc 146: Super Cli Disc! For use as a cli disc plus

Boot Control,Crunch,Disksalv,Fastload,VirusX,

if you didnt get the starter-pack or the
Quickstart pack.
Disc 151: Three excellent utilities here, Bank N - a
complete banking package, look after your
pennies! Dirmaster - superb disc catalogue
system. Also Turbo-backup, a really fast and
reliable copier for backing up non-protected

last disk cat, dont know how that happened,
SORRY!! ehem ***
Disc 174: Contains Amcat (disc cataloging system),
AmigaSpell (text spelling checker) ASDG-RRD a
nice recoverable ramdisc (ie survives a reset),
Blackbook memo pad, DX Synth voice librarian
(Midi), Hexcalc & Icon Type utility.
Disc 222: Ram/Disc manager. If you have 1meg you will have
realised that every now and again a program turns
up that causes problems with expanded memory
(this is due to the way the amiga handles its data)
Well this program allows you to turn the extra
memory off until you turn off. Very useful,
positioned in the bootblock for quick and easy
access. Also included is a program that allows you
to determine which drive you can boot from,
ie. you can set df1: to act as the internal drive
and boot from it. Unfortunatly the disc manager
will not work with issue 1.3 machines although
the ram manager does.
Disc 243: Utility disc comprising of Disksalv (lastest
version) which is a superb disc salvager for
people with hard-drives or more than one drive.
Directory Util version 6, excellent cli utility
- move files with ease. 60 or 80 - switch between
modes at the flick of an icon. Screenzap - clear
up screens not being used.
Nag - clever appointment calendar with full
features including speech etc.
Icon fun/iconizer/snap - build a library of
pointers and swap between them at will!
Disc 247: This utility disc contains the X series of
programs, Disk X (great disc editor), Screen X
(grab screens with this utility), Task X
(control your amiga`s tasks), and Virus X.
Memo Pad is also included (a very nicely
done application), Dmouse (mouse accelerator),
Quickbase (address database) and Makeanim
(for creating animation files easily using IFF
files and a simple script).
Disc 265: Home Utils. Includes a word processor
(Wordwright) including full instructions and is
ready to run, and a simple spreadsheet program
which unfortunatly has no instructions but we
included it non-the-less.
Disc 505: Paul Kolenbranders Freeware Collection!
An excellent disc composed of 17 utilities and
tools written by Paul and his good friend Peter
Van Leuvan.These include Smuscopy, Smus Info,
Makeplay, MakeCopy, Pic View, PicFind, Jump,
LVR, Patch Load Seg, Virus Killer, Virus Hunter,
IFF2Ex, ASCII2Ex, Mod2Ex, Modules. These do a
variety of things such as display info about a
smus/sonix file, prepare a play file for the
sonix PLAY utility etc Contains THE best picture
viewer that does all modes etc. Also utilities
to convert an IFF picture to a program,
soundtracker modules to a program etc VERY good!
All fully documented, each has a number and all
you type is 'explain x` where x is the number of
the program. Knowledge of CLI required to move
and use the programs. NO ICONS!
