Disks 211-220 are now complete and ready for distribution. Duplication
and mailing of preordered disks begins later today and should be complete
by Wednesday.
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 214
--------------------
ArcPrep ArcPrep prepares files and/or directories for archival

different directories and/or handle long filenames.
Version 2.1, includes source.
Author: Garry Glendown
MandelVroom A Mandelbrot/Julia-curve generating program that features
five numerical generators (integer, ffp, ieee, 020, and
020/881) in hand-crafted assembly for maximum speed, online
mouse selectable help for all functions, generation of
multiple pictures simultaneously, a sophisticated user
interface with shaded gadgets, etc. Some of the other
features include zoom, magnify, color-cycling, contouring,
auto-contouring, histogram, statistics, presets, extra-
halfbrite support, overscan, orbits, pan mode, and more.
Requires 1Mb or more of memory. This is the source to
version 2.0, an update to the version on disk 78. A
compiled binary, along with help files and example
images, can be found on disk 215.
Author: Kevin Clague
MemDiag A memory diagnostic program to identify addresses which
produce memory errors, and a memory quarantine program
which removes such defective addresses from the system's
free memory list, until such time as the hardware errors
can be corrected. Version 1.1, includes source.
Author: Fabbian Dufoe
RunBack Another step in the evolution of Rob Peck's RunBackGround
program, from disks 73 and 152. Allows you to start a new
CLI program and run it in the background, then closes the
new CLI. This version has been enhanced to use the NULL:
device by Gunnar Nordmark (included), which is a "real"
device, so it solves problems with previous versions of
RunBack which used the Nil: "fake" device, causing many
crashes. Includes source.
Author: Rob Peck, Daniel Barrett, Tim Maffett
SmartIcon This shareware program, submitted by the author,
is an Intuition objects iconifier. Version 1.0
is limited to iconifying windows, which is still
very handy. It adds a new "iconify gadget" to
each window, that when clicked on, iconifies the
window into an icon in the ram: disk. This is the
same version as released on disk 134, but now includes
the source code.
Author: Gauthier Groult

CONTENTS OF DISK 216
--------------------
BackDrop Backdrop allows you to define a pattern which will then
be displayed on the workbench screen in the normally
empty area behind all the windows. Similar in concept
to DropCloth, but this one does not require workbench
to be loaded (and does not cohabit very well with
workbench). Includes source.
Author: Eddy Carroll
C64Emul An April Fools spoof that turns your Amiga into a C64,
or at least makes it look that way. Includes source.
Author: Eddy Carroll
Cloud A program that generates and displays fractal surfaces
that look remarkably like clouds. Based on ideas from
the book "Fractals" by Jens Feder. Binary only.
Author: Mike Hall
PrtSpool A DOS handler, a print program, and a control program
that implement a print spooling system. Like PRT:, the
DOS handler waits for stuff to be sent to it to be
printed. The print program does line numbering and
page headers. The control program handles administrative
functions. Binary only.
Author: Daniel Barrens
VirusX Version 3.20 of the popular virus detection/vaccination
program. Features a test for 8 new viruses since the
3.10 version on disk 175. Includes source.

from the Unix version, originally written on a Sun
workstation. The idea for Wanderer came from games
such as Boulderdash, Xor, and the Repton games from
Superior Software. Includes a builtin editor for
extending the game by adding additional screens.
Version 2.2, includes source.
Author: Steven Shipway and others. Amiga port by
Alan Bland
CONTENTS OF DISK 217
--------------------
AntiCBS An animation cooked up by Leo in protest of CBS's coverage
of the Hacker's Conference in Oct 88. After reading the
transcript I was angered enough to feel this needed
widespread distribution, even though it is quite old.
Author: Leo 'Bols Ewhac' Schwab
Echo A small replacement for the AmigaDOS echo that will do
some special functions, such as clear the screen, delete
to bottom of screen, scroll the screen, place the cursor
at a particular location, and set the text style and/or
color. Includes source.
Author: Garry Glendown
InstallBeep This program replaces the DisplayBeep function so that an
IFF 8SVX sound is played instead of the screen flashing.
The PlayBeep function runs as a task in the background and
runs asynchronously so the length of the sound does not
slow anything down. Includes a couple of sample sound
files. Version 1.1, binary only.
Author: Tim Friest and Don Withey
SnipIt An input handler wedge which allows you to clip text from
any window and then paste that text anywhere, as though
you had typed it on the keyboard. You mark the text you
want to "snip" using the mouse, and then use the mouse to
"paste" the last snipped text into the active window,
requester, or anywhere. Version 1.2, includes source.
Author: Scott Evernden
SonixPeek A utility to let you list all the instruments used by one
or more Aegis Sonix score files. It can scan individual

score files in each directory. The output is a list of
all the instruments you need to have present in order to
be able to play the indicated score files. Includes source.
Author: Eddy Carroll

on the Amiga with any EXEC device that looks like the
serial.device. Works on UNIX with tty and socket
devices. Achieves better than 95% average throughput
on file transfers. This is version 2.0, an update to
version 1.20 released on disk 145. Includes sources
