fnf@estinc.UUCP (Fred Fish) (09/18/89)
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:

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.

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

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

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

such programs as editors or other string handling programs.
Version 1.0, includes source.

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

linear programs. It uses the standardized MPSX-format
for input data files. This is version 1.5, an update
