Disks 245-250 are now available. Only six this time, since I wanted to get the ones I had done released before I went sky-diving for the first time today (just in case :-). Since you're reading this posting, everything went fine. Actually, after the 7 hour class, it was too windy to make the jump, so we get to go back next weekend for the big plunge... :-) Note that you can get a copy of the catalog (2 disks) of the complete library contents by sending two blank disks and $1 for postage to: Fred Fish Catalog Disk Requests 1835 East Belmont Drive Tempe, Arizona 85284 USA Thanks to all who submitted new and interesting material. If you submitted something in the past and it has not yet appeared in the library, please feel free to resubmit it, particularly if it was several months ago. I sometimes hesitate to include material submitted more than about six months ago because of some vague feeling that as soon as I include version 1.01 submitted many months ago, I'll see version 5.23 posted on usenet. ====================================================================== CONTENTS OF DISK 245 -------------------- ATOF A small utility that allows you to use the fonts of another disk without using the CLI. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Roger Fischlin BootIntro This program creates a small intro on the bootblock of any disk, which will appear after you insert the disk for booting. This is the "next generation" BootIntro, a more colorful version than the one on disk 244, but the text must be shorter. The first line can be up to 24 characters. The second and third lines can be up to 22 characters. The scrolling text can be up to 98 characters. This is "next generation version 1.1". Binary only. Author: Roger Fischlin Fenster A program which can operate on windows owned by another program, to close them, change their size, refresh gadgets, move the window to the background, etc. Version 1.0, includes source. Author: Roger Fischlin PathMaster A file requester with lots of features. Can be easily configured by the programmer to suit a variety of applications. Includes source. Author: Justin McCormick Reversi Plays the classical reversi game on an 8 x 8 square field. Version 1.2, includes source in assembly code. Author: Marc Fischlin Vlt This is a binary update to the vlt program on disk 226, and fixes a problem with external protocol support. You still need the rest of the files from disk 226. Version 4.065, binary only. Author: Willy Langeveld CONTENTS OF DISK 246 -------------------- Dmake Release version 1.0 of Matt's version of the UNIX make utility.

This is version 3.6, an update to version to version 3.5 on disk 243. Includes assembly source code. Author: Norman Iscove ScreenShare A library and support programs that enable applications to open up windows on other applications' custom screens. For example, your editor may want to open a window on your terminal emulator's screen so you can compose a message while still being able to see the contents of the terminal's screen. Both applications must cooperate for the screen sharing to work. Version 1.2, includes source for interface portions. Author: Willy Langeveld Ty A text display program based on Amiga "less" version 1.0. Has both keyboard and mouse control of all functions, an intuition interface, and uses the Amiga specific keys (such as the Help key) correctly. Version 1.3, includes source. Author: Mark Nudelman, Bob Leivian, Tony Wills CONTENTS OF DISK 247 -------------------- AnalogJoystick Software support for use of analog joysticks on the Amiga. Includes a driver, a header file for code that calls the driver, and an example program that uses the driver. Includes source. Author: Dave Kinzer AssemTools A collection of files which should be of great interest to Amiga assembly language programmers. The collection includes 140 macro routines which make assembly language programming a lot easier. There is also a library of routines containing buffered C-like file handling functions (fopen, fclose, fgets, fputs, etc) and a file name requester. All routines are re-entrant. Includes source for example programs using the macros and library, and a 65c02 cross macro assembler. Author: Jukka Marin RemoteLogin A couple of programs which make possible remote access to your Amiga. One program checks the serial port for an incoming call, and starts a program when it is detected. The other is a password protection program which allows starting various programs based upon login id, thus providing some minimal security for your computer. Includes source. Author: Dave Kinzer XprLib External file transfer protocol library. Document and code example for implementing external file transfer protocols using Amiga shared libraries. This is version 2.0, an update to the version on disk 240, with many extensions and enhancements. Includes sample XPR library and source. Author: Willy Langeveld CONTENTS OF DISK 248 -------------------- AmiGantt A project definition and management tool designed to create a simple, interactive method of outlining the task required to complete a particular project, using the GANTT chart as the input format. AmiGantt displays the project in a multi-window mode with separate windows for the GANTT chart, task information input, resource histogram display, and Pert chart display. Up to 500 tasks may be defined for any project, and a project may contain other projects as tasks. Version 3.0.0, shareware, binary only. Author: Donald Tolson CLI-Colors A simple little program to change the colors of the border around a CLI window. Includes source in assembly code. Author: Michael Sinz Flipper A small, fast, Othello program. Does not use any look- ahead methods. Binary only.

Author: Michael Sinz NetHandler The Software Distillery's network file system handler (NET:), using Matt Dillon's DNET to mount one Amiga's devices on another Amiga. It also serves as an example file system written entirely in Lattice C. Version 1.0, includes source. Author: Software Distillery Regex An Amiga shared library version of the GNU regular expression package from the Free Software Foundation. A regular expression is a concise method of describing a pattern of characters in a string. By use of special wildcards, almost any pattern can be described. A regular expression pattern can be used for searching strings in such programs as editors or other string handling programs. Version 1.0, includes source. Author: Edwin Hoogerbeets, FSF, Jim Mackraz CONTENTS OF DISK 249 -------------------- Automata Four cellular automata programs. AutomaTron is a one dimensional cellular automation, Crud is a automation based on a sum index rule, Demon is a cyclic space automation described in the Aug 89 Scientific American, and Life is one of the oldest and best known of all cellular automata. Includes source. Author: Gary Teachout Slicer Slicer computes and displays images of the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. Unlike many Mandelbrot programs that generate pictures directly, Slicer computes and stores an array of raw data which it may then render into pictures in a number of ways. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Gary Teachout TurMite A two dimensional turing machine simulator. Imagine a small bug crawling around on your computer display moving one pixel at a time. At each step it uses its internal state number and the color of the pixel it's on as indexes into a set of tables to decide what color to change the pixel to, what direction to move, and what its new internal state should be. Includes source. Author: Gary Teachout CONTENTS OF DISK 250 -------------------- ASimplex An implementation of the Simplex algorithm for solving linear programs. It uses the standardized MPSX-format for input data files. This is version 1.5, an update to version 1.2 on disk 199. Changes include bug fixes, the ability to run from CLI, it's own window for I/O, and some new and improved commands. Includes source.
