GHGAQA4@cc1.kuleuven.ac.be (Tyberghein Jorrit) (12/05/90)
I'm very very sorry,
I was making all that noise about my utilities being available
on TAPSERV when they were in fact not available at all. TAPSERV
simply throwed them away (due to a bug in our archiver system).
Now I have put them back, waited a few days and they are still
there. The maintenance person told me that it will probably
be alright now.
mail the following command to TAPSERV@BLEKUL11.BITNET to get
my files :
send amiga/games/running.zoo
and
send amiga/utilities/utils.zoo
running.zoo is a zoo file containing a arcade-puzzle game I have
written. It is AmigaDOS 1.3 and 2.0 compatible and multitasking
friendly.
utils.zoo contains all my utilities I have written for AmigaDOS
2.0 (except ShowGadgets which works on 1.3 too).
utils.zoo contains the following utilities :
- WhatIs 2.1 :
A program that recognizes files and dumps some information.
Among the supported files are : IFF files, hunks, TIFF, PCX
GIF, Sun Rasterfiles, Lattice PGTB files, DBase III files,
some Microsoft Windows files, executables, crunched
executables (with PowerPacker and other crunchers), crunched
data files (with PowerPacker), some archivers like Zoo and
LHarc, PVSD files (PowerVisor), Font headers, info files,...
You can start WhatIs from Workbench or CLI. WhatIs is pure.
Wildcards are now supported |
- QuickHelp 2.0 :
Three utilities that allow you to make your own help system.
You can then use this help system from CLI or Workbench.
QuickHelp supports crunched PowerPacker files. These
utilities are pure.
- Iff2Src 1.0 :
With Iff2Src you can convert IFF ILBM files to machinelanguage
or C source. It is small and fast and has a nice design (the
gadtools design of Workbench 2.0). Iff2Src can be started
from Workbench or CLI and is pure.
- PublicScreens 1.0 :
Two utilities to manage public screens (Public screens are
something new for AmigaDOS 2.0). PublicS is the Workbench
version of PubScreen. PublicS and PubScreen are pure.
- din.library 1.0 :
A library to let two programs share objects. For example:
a DTP program and a drawing program could share a brush.
When you change the brush in the drawing program,
the brush will automatically change in the DTP program.
- ShowGadgets :
This is the only utility that works on AmigaDOS 1.3.
When you press a special hot key, ShowGadgets will freeze
the system and clear the active window. All gadgets will
get a border so you can easily see the dimensions of all
gadgets in a window.
Source is included.
- SList :
List all tasks, libraries, devices, resources, ports and
interrupts currently in the system. SList is pure.
- SType :
SType supports a few features that are not present in the
current AmigaDOS type command. You can type from a given
line to a given line.
SType is pure.
- WinMan :
WinMan is a simple utility with source that attaches some
extra menus to the Workbench menus. These extra menus
allow you to manage your windows. It is very primitive but
you can adapt it to your own wishes.
