I posted both programs to net.sources due to the large number (>30) of
requests for these programs. While I have your attention, I should add that
I have other utility programs for general consumption. Offhand I can think of
the following useful programs.
B = Binary, A = Applesoft, I = Integer, P = Pascal
1. remove dos(B): Remove Dos from basic disk (frees up tracks 0-2),
good for data disks
2. move dos(B): move dos to the language card,
get another 12k of memory for basic
3. disk master(B): sort the files on disk, restore deleted files
4. esc catalog(B): allows you to exit a long catalog listing with the esc key
5. freecat(A): display number of free sectors on disk at every catalog
command
6. make shapes(A): makes shapes, edits shapes, merges shape tables, in Hires
7. memory test(B): tests memory
8. motor speed(I): displays in LoRes the disk speed (slow ... fast)
9. magazines(A): general purpose data base program, useful for magazines
I keep each magazine article (date, title, page,
magazine, language, description) and then search for a
particular procedure when I need it. Can handle about
500 articles. Very fast (machine) sort, search, string
swap. (you may have guessed by now that I have written
this one)
10. demuffin(B): opposite of muffin
11. cruncher(B): compresses applesoft programs, removes rems and
intelligently builds long basic lines.
12. name disk(A): allows one to add a 11 character name to basic disks
instead of getting volume. Eventually this will be
incorporated into a global directory search to keep
track of all programs on all disks.
I'll have to scrape up documentation for these if anyone wants them.
I'm not sure how to post some of these to net.sources. Some are binary
files, other are assembly (Apple toolkit).
I'll have to take this list and run through my catalogs for other stuff
(games, etc). Does anyone else have some useful utilities, games, other?
