fnf@fishpond.UUCP (Fred Fish) (11/25/88)
The next batch of disks are now ready.
As seems to be the tradition, here is the information for obtaining
a complete electronic catalog of the library. The catalog comes on two
disks, "AmigaLibDisk0a" and "AmigaLibDisk0b". The first disk contains
the DirMaster database of the contents of all released disks, and the
second disk contains the "Contents" or "README.listXX" files from each
released disk. To receive a copy of the catalog disks send two blank
UNLABELED disks and four LOOSE first class stamps to:

Note that I will supply the mailing label and return mailer. Also note
that because of the way duplication is done, you may not get back the same
disks you send in.
Below is a listing of the contents of disks 163 to 172. Thanks to all
who submitted material included in this release.

CONTENTS OF DISK 168 & 169
--------------------------
These two disks are a "Matt Dillion special", containing binaries and
sources to the latest versions of a great deal of Matt's many programs.
For a complete listing of the programs on these two disks, see the file
called "README". Because of the nature of Matt's programs and the need
for his support libraries to recreate many of his programs, I opted to
keep these disks pretty much as Matt sent them to me, rather than follow
the usual AmigaLibDisk format of binaries and sources in one directory.
This would have undoubtedly increased this to a three disk set. Please
note that if you plan on recreating any of these programs, then it is
quite possible that you will need information from both disks.

FISH RELEASE
16 August 1988
(c)Copyright 1988 Matthew Dillon, All Rights reserved. All software
on these disks which is mine may be distributed for non-profit
only. This software is 'freeware', NOT public domain since I hold
the copyright on it. Terms are:
-You may redistribute any of the programs and/or source files
but you may not distribute modified versions of said to the
general public (i.e. BBS's, USENET, etc....). Redistribution is
for non-profit only.
-You may extract and use any part of the source without strings
attached as long as the programs you write with it are not an
attempt to create an enhanced version of the program you extracted
the source from.
-I am NOT requesting $$ (this is not ShareWare), but then again,
I am not so foolish as to not include my address in case anybody
feels the urge.
These two disks contain binaries and sources to the latest release of
quite a bunch of my programs. Many are updates to older versions and
some are new. The two major additions that are noteworthy are
DRES.LIBRARY and BACKUP.
Note that to compile various programs you must have a working SUP32.LIB,
DRES.LIB, and DRES.LIBRARY. Also a new include subdirectory, local,
must be installed. Only DRES.LIBRARY is independant while the other two
(binaries) require Aztec C V3.6 ... you have to recompile for other
versions of Aztec C. With a bit of hacking a good programmer would be
able to set up an enviroment for Lattice C. Of particular attention to
somebody trying to do this is the modification of the LIBREF program to
generate Lattice compatible assembly (in the DRES source section).
Noted programs which are missing: DNET, and DTERM are not ready for
re-release yet.
CONFIG V1.00 Used to configure friendly programs like DME for
the initial window placement (configures the
executable)
Clock V1.00 Simple clock, configurable with config.
DME V1.31 My programming oriented editor
DMouse V1.10 mouse enhancer .. acceleration, blanking, etc...
(now handles requesters better w/ auto-activate)
Backup V2.01 HD backup/restore (same program just renamed)
SUPLIB Support (link time) library required to compile
my programs.
LIBREF Utility for generating run-time library link library
assembly files, lvo.asm, and the run-time library's
vector list. See the DRES source for usage.
Currently very Aztec in terms of what it generates.
DRES V1 Support (run time) library w/ lots of functions
including a generic parser and IPC.
DASM V2.11 Small-systems assembler. Handles 6502 and some of
the Motorola single chip microcomputers. Generates
code (not object module oriented).
FTOHEX Part of DASM used to convert a DASM executable into
an intel-hex formatted ascii file.
FILES V1.2 My disk catalog program. Haven't enhanced it much
but did fix some bugs.
SHELL V2.10 Added enviroment variable support and some other
junk. Use ConMan if you want command line editing,
I do (it should not be a function of the shell and
it isn't in mine).
FINDIT V1.00 Search for a filename (wildcard)
LIBS V1.00 list libraries/devices in ram or attempt to remove
libraries.
SCAT V1.00 Utility to 'cat' binaries without blowing up the
display
ADDCR V1.00 Utility to add CR's before LF's in files
REMCR V1.00 Utility to remove CR's in files
CMP V1.00 Utility to compare two files

author's ReadMeFirst file. Binary only, shareware
Author: Tim Kemp
Surf Generates bezier surfaces of revolution. Will produce some
amazing pictures of wineglasses, doorknobs, or other objects
one could turn on a lathe. Includes the capacity to map IFF
image files onto any surface that it can draw. Source
included
Author: Eric Davies
Turbo Opens a small window with a gadget that when selected,
turns off bitplane, sprite, copper and audio DMA, presumably
to increase system speed. Includes source.

Maze A couple of very nice demos for the creation and use of
single-solution mazes, one of which is practically a
stand-alone game. Includes source.
Author: Werner Gunther
Sozobon-C Atari ST version of what appears to be a full K&R freeware
C-compiler, assembler and linker. The compiler main pass
and the assembler were compiled and tested on an Amiga A2000
with only minimal changes, and they appear to work (to the
extent that they believe they are running on an Atari-ST),
so an Amiga port should be relatively easy.
Author: Sozobon, Limited.
Xoper Very comprehensive program to monitor and control system
activity. Monitor cpu, memory usage, ports, interrupts,
devices. Close windows, screens, show loaded fonts or last
Guru code number. Clean up memory, flush unused libraries,
devices, fonts. etc. and a whole bunch more! Spawns its own
process. A very handy background task to have loaded.
Assembly source included.
Author: Werner Gunther
CONTENTS OF DISK 172
--------------------
DataToObj A utility to convert raw data files (sprites, image data,
text, etc.) directly into object code which can then be
linked to the main program without the need to go through
the compiling process. Includes source.
Author: Werner Gunther
Handshake A full featured VT52/VT100/VT102/VT220 terminal emulator.
The author has taken great pains to support the full VT102
spec. Now supports ANSI colors, screen capture and more.
Update to version on disk number 60. Version 2.12a,
binary only, shareware.
Author: Eric Haberfellner
MFix A small program to insert in the startup-sequence of the
commercial program, Marauder II, from Discovery Software,
International. Whenever the copy process is started, the
rainbow screen is covered by a bare screen until the copy
is finished. The author claims a 25% decrease in copy time
is achieved. Version 1.0, binary only.
Author: Stephen Gunn

2.0, Includes source.
Author: Jonathan Potter
ProCalc A program that simulates an HP-11C programmable calculator.
Lots of enhancements and bug fixes since the original version
on disk number 139. Version 1.2, binary only, shareware
Author: Gotz Muller
Spiff Make controlled approximations between two files. Similar
to "diff" but more versatile. Allows for the handling of
numerals as string literals or numeric values with
adjustable tolerances. Provides for embedded commands,
scriptfiles, and many other command-line parameters.
Potentially very useful, but needs some Amiga-specific work.
Source and some example files included.

The second disk drive can be RAM: or other DOS device with a file system; the input disk must be based on a device driven DOS device using the standard or fast filesystem. Thus, input devices like most hard disks, recoverable RAM disks like ASDG's VD0: or Digitronics' DRx: work; handler based things like RAM: don't. For output, I could specify any DOS level device like DF1: or RAM:, or in fact a path spec like "RAM:Recovered". I sent V1.32 to binaries just recently; this works better with FFS and fixes a few bugs. If anyone EVER finds any bugs with this program, please tell me about them, I do plan to eventually release a new version (but hopefully not for a while). > -Fred -- Dave Haynie "The 32 Bit Guy" Commodore-Amiga "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: D-DAVE H BIX: hazy Amiga -- It's not just a job, it's an obsession
