[Has anyone seen the line eater in the last few years???] Here is a list of the final contents of disk number 35, which was not yet complete at my last posting. The Triclop's invasion game is probably the best graphics action type PD game currently available for the Amiga. And, if you have a copy of Marble Madness or Deluxe Paint II, and no backup, you might find one of the QuickCopy programs useful... ASendPacket Example program for sending multiple packets asynchronously to a dos handler, for those interested in implementing programs with asynchronous AmigaDos file I/O. Author: Phillip Lindsay ConsoleWindow Example program for finding the intuition pointer to an AmigaDos CON: or RAW: window, so you can do WindowToFront, graphics, and other interesting things. (Requires AmigaDos 1.2) Author: Andy Finkel and Robert Burns DirUtil Nice little program to wander around directory tree using a windowing interface and performing various operations on files. Author: Chris Nicotra, enhancements by Dave Jobusch DirUtil2 Another variant of dirutil. Author: Chris Nicotra, enhancements by Ed Alford FileRequester A very nice file requester module for lattice C programs, along with a demo driver program. Author: Charlie Heath MacView Allows viewing of standard MacPaint picture files in either Amiga low resolution (320 x 200) or high resolution (640 x 400). Executable, sample pictures, and icons (version on disk 32 did not include pictures). Author: Scott Evernden Plop Short, simple, no-frills IFF reader program, and a sample picture made using a ray tracing algorithm. Author: Jim Kent PopCLI Provides a simple way of starting another CLI at any time without having to load workbench or exit whatever program you may be using. Also has a builtin screen saver mode that automatically blanks the Amiga console screen when there has been no input for a specified period of time. Author: John Toebes QuickCopy Three versions of quickcopy, a nice little full disk copier. Two of the versions are capable of making backup copies of "protected" Electronic Art's disks. Author: Dave Devenport ScrollPf Creates and displays a 400 by 300 by 2 bit plane playfield on top of a 320 by 200, 2 plane deep playfield, as a demo of dual playfield display. Author: Carolyn Scheppner SendPacket General purpose subroutine to send AmigaDos packets. Author: Phillip Lindsay SpriteMaker Program which lets you paint sprites and then converts the image into a C data structure to be used in programs. Allows interactive testing of the sprite as a pointer. Suggested shareware donation of $15 for source code and updates. Author: Ray Larson Tracker Program which converts a boot-load disk (I.E. a kickstart disk) into a group of files for electronic transmission and reassembly. Completely preserves the original disk structure so the target disk will be an exact duplicate of the original. Author: Brad (Lord Bradford) Wilson TriClops Very nice graphics oriented 3-D space invasion game. This was previously a commercial product which is being released into the public domain for promotional purposes (they are working on a multiuser, multimachine version). Author: Unknown, published by Geodesic Publications Tsize A simple utility to print directory tree sizes. Displays the total size of all files and subdirectories within a given directory. Author: Edmund Burnette UnIfdef Useful program for removing ifdef'ed sections from a file while otherwise leaving the file alone. Allows one source to be used as a porting base for many machines, without shipping the entire source to every source customer. (Preprocess for their machine and send them only the source for their specific machine). Author: Dave Yost Vttest Program to test compatibility of vt100-compatible terminals and terminal emulators. Requires the resources of a Unix system to test an Amiga hosted vt100 emulator. (I haven't yet found one that even comes close to passing this test!).
