fnf@estinc.UUCP (Fred Fish) (02/08/89)
It's time for another batch of disks. If you sent me material since
the last batch of disks, and it does not show up here, don't despair
yet since I have about 8 more disks nearing completion. I just
didn't want to hold these up any longer. The next batch should
appear in a couple weeks.
Please note my change of address effective the first of this year:
Fred Fish
1835 East Belmont Drive
Tempe, Arizona 85284
USA
Anything sent to me at the old address will be delayed from 1-5
days.

archive we're trying to unshar! Includes source.

CONTENTS OF DISK 176
--------------------
This is disk 176 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
This disk contains version V23-2A of Glenn Everhart's large and powerful
spreadsheet program called AnalytiCalc, submitted to me directly by
Glenn for inclusion in the library as an update to the version released
on disk 144. AnalytiCalc is presented in entirely ZOOed form because it
could not otherwise fit on a single disk. Because the auxiliary
utilities were presented on disk 144, they are not repeated here.
The ZOO utility is used due to the lack of controversy over the
format. The public domain BOOZ program is provided to extract the
contents of the ZOO archives provided.
With this release, AnalytiCalc has become "Freeware" rather than
"Shareware". Thus the only restrictions on AnalytiCalc code are
that derivative programs remain freely distributable.
HyperNet
--------
HyperNet is a small hypertext shell program for Amiga, presented
with sources and brief documents. It was also submitted by Glenn
Everhart, the author.
HyperNet allows a "master" AmigaDos process to control a series of
connected processes, where the connections are randomly ordered directed
graphs. Permissible "child" processes available at any stage are
governed by the links of the graph. The implementation is mainly
instructive, but can be used for tutorials or demonstrations and
illustrates the simplicity of hypertext concepts on a multi-tasking
system.
CONTENTS OF DISK 177
--------------------
ASpice A version of the SPICE 2G.6 circuit analysis program
which has been modified to run in the Amiga environment.
The program arrays are adjusted to require one forth the
memory of the DEC VAX version. Although this does not
usually put much of a constraint on circuit analysis,
some users who are used to the full mainframe environment
may have to be more aware of the memory demands of their
analysis. Requires a minimum of 1.5 MB memory. This
version neither supports nor requires the 68020 processor
or 68881 coprocessor. Binary only.
Authors: Many, see Documentation
DiskSalv Version 1.32 of the popular "undelete" and file recovery
program. Fixes a few bugs apparently found on the version
1.3 release on disk number 164.
Author: Dave Haynie
Jask An intuition-based replacement for the ASK command. Will
bring up a requester with a message and boolean yes/no
type gadgets. Version 1.0, includes source.
Author: John Barshinger
Marge A simple CLI utility to add a specified number of spaces or
tabs to the left side of every line in a file. Includes
source.
Author: Joel Swank
Path An interesting concept in path-searching. This program
contains a path-handler that allows you to selectively
control or assign your system's search path using script
files. Includes source.
Author: Rico Mariani
CONTENTS OF DISK 178
