Yes folks, it's that time again. Here's a new batch of disks for your greedy little disk drives. By the way, assuming that there are over 100,000 amigas out there, and that virtually anyone that wants a set of these disks can obtain them one way or the other, that translates to 4,000,000 blank disks sold. That's a stack of disks about 10 miles high... For those that don't know what this is all about, send *four* first class stamps and a preaddressed mailing label for a current listing of disks in the library, and ordering information, to: Fred Fish 1346 W. 10th Place Tempe, Az. 85281 USA CONTENTS OF DISK 40 ------------------- 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.

Produces wildly colorful but mathematically precise patterns. Author: Bill DuPree FixObj Strip extraneous garbage off the end of object files transfered with xmodem. Does not require preknowledge of actual file length, uses knowledge of Amiga file structure. Version 1.1 (update to copy on disk #10). Author: John Hodgson Handler An example that implements an AmigaDos Handler (device) in non-BCPL format. Author: Phillip Lindsay Hp-10c Program that mimics an HP-10c (Hewlett Packard calculator), written in TDI Modula2. Author: Duncan Prindle IffDump Two programs for manipulating IFF files.

This shareware program (suggested $15 donation) was submitted by the author for inclusion in the library. Author: Stephen Vermeulen VoiceFiler Voice filer program for Yamaha DX series synthesizers. Voices are transfered to and from the Amiga over MIDI. Author: Jack Deckard Window Sample program which shows how to create a DOS window in a custom screen. Author: Andy Finkel CONTENTS OF DISK 37 ------------------- It is port of Timothy Budd's Little Smalltalk system, done by Bill Kinnersley at Washington State University. The disk is unchanged except for the following: (1) I have added this file, README.list37. (2) I have added the standard distribution info file, README.dist. (3) In order to make room for the above two files (the disk only had 2 free blocks) I filtered all the text files in the sources, docs, and examples directories through a program to remove extraneous CR (^M) characters from the end of each line. This also makes the files conform to standard Amiga and Unix line delimiter conventions. I hope this didn't break anything else in the process... (4) I have added the file sources/Makefile to help people who want to recompile the sources. It uses my cc frontend. I was able to compile and link an executable that was almost the same size as the one Bill provided (100 bytes smaller) using Manx 3.20B in 16-bit int mode, but it aborted immediately with an error message, so beware. CONTENTS OF DISK 36 ------------------- Acp A copy program with filename expansion and argument interpretation like the unix cp. Author: Fred Cassirer Clock Updated version of the clock program released on disk number 15. Adds seconds display, free memory display, and faster updates.

Has alias, builtin functions like "dir" for speed, history, named variables, command re-execution with substitution, etc. Version 2.01A. Author: Matt Dillon DietAid Diet planning aid to allow the user to compile lists of ingredients (recipes) and automatically compute calorie totals, etc. This is a shareware program ($10 suggested) that was submitted by the author for inclusion in the library. Author: Terry Gintz Echo An improved echo command with options to control color, screen placement of text, etc. Author: Larry Phillips FixHunk A program to modify executable files to allow them to run in external memory. It forces all DATA and BSS hunks in the file to be loaded into CHIP memory. CODE hunks will still load into FAST ram if available. Version 1.2a. Author: D.J. James Fm File mapper program. Uses trackdisk device to grab sectors and traverse the filesystem to find out what sectors a particular file occupies. Author: Leo Schwab KickBench Instructions and programs for creating and using a combined KickStart and WorkBench disk, so only one disk is need to reboot. Allows the system to reboot unattended after a power failure. Requires disked from developer's disk. Author: Alonzo Gariepy Lex A program (not to be confused with the Unix lex program which is a lexical analyzer generator) which computes various readability metrics for text files.
