Disks 139 through 146 are now ready for release. Below is a listing of the contents of each disk: CONTENTS OF DISK 139 -------------------- AmiCron An enhanced and debugged version of AmiCron 2.3 from disk number 113. Includes source. Author: Steve Sampson, Rich Schaeffer, Christian Balzer ListScanner A nice little utility to display all the Exec lists. Somewhat like the Xplor utility from disk 73. Includes source in assembler. Author: Heiko Rath ProCalc A program that simulates an HP-11C programmable calculator. Includes both an English version and a German version. Shareware, binary only. Author: Gotz Muller RemLib Removes a specified library (if currently unused) or displays some information about all available libraries. Includes source in assembler. Author: Heiko Rath TurboBackup A fast mass floppy disk duplicator with enforced verify mode to prevent generation of incorrect copies. Version 1.00, binary only. Author: Steffen Stempel and Martin Kopp WArranger Sends a window, identified by its name, to the front or to the back, without selecting it. Useful in conjunction with AmiCron. Works on all screens. Includes source in assembler. Author: Heiko Rath WheelChairSim A wheelchair simulator developed as a project for the Technical Resource Centre and the Albert Children's Hospital, to allow the matching of a wheelchair joystick to a child's handicap and all the child to practice using the chair in a safe (simulated) environment. Binary only. Author: Unknown, submitted by Dr. Mike Smith CONTENTS OF DISK 140 -------------------- SBProlog Volume 1 of the 2 volume Stony Brook Prolog (SBP) distribution, version 2.3.2. This volume contains the executables and libraries. Volume 2, on disk 141, contains the C and Prolog source code. From the SB-Prolog System, Version 2.2 User Manual: "SB-Prolog is a public-domain Prolog system for Unix(tm) based systems originally developed at SUNY, Stony Brook. The core of the system is an emulator, written in C for portability, of a Prolog virtual machine that is an extension of the Warren Abstract Machine. The remainder of the system, including the translator from Prolog to the virtual machine instructions, is written in Prolog." In addition to providing a compiler, SB-Prolog also offers advanced features such as dynamic loading, mixing of compiled and interpreted code, macros, extension tables, a debugging facility offering two levels of tracing, profiling tools, and other utilities. Authors: Logic Programming Group at SUNY, Stony Brook Amiga port by David Roch and Scott Evernden CONTENTS OF DISK 141 -------------------- SBProlog Volume 2 of the 2 volume Stony Brook Prolog (SBP) distribution, version 2.3.2. This volume contains the C and Prolog source code. Volume 1, on disk 140, contains the executables and libraries.

Authors: Logic Programming Group at SUNY, Stony Brook Amiga port by David Roch and Scott Evernden SmallC An Amiga port of the Small-C compiler, written by Ron Cain and published in Dr. Dobb's Journal, in about 1980. Small-C is a rather small subset of the full 'C' language. However, it is capable of compiling itself, and other small, useful programs. Requires an assembler and linker to complete the package and produce working executables. Includes source and binary. Author: Ron Cain. Amiga port by Willi Kusche. CONTENTS OF DISK 142 -------------------- Diff A program that uses the same algorithm as the Unix diff program and also produces context diffs, suitable for use with patch. This is the same version that was distributed on disk 138, but now includes the missing files (including source code). Author: Unknown (Decus C diff) FracGen A fractal generator program that generates fractal pictures from "seeds" that you create. This is unlike any of the other "fractal generators" I've seen. It can be used to load and display previously created fractal pictures, modify existing fractals, or create your own fractals. Version 1.1, binary only. Author: Doug Houck SciSubr The Scientific Subroutine Package from DECUS, ported to the Amiga to run with Absoft Fortran. This is a valuable resource of mathematical and statistical source code for those doing Fortran work on the Amiga. Author: Unknown; ported to the Amiga by Glenn Everhart CONTENTS OF DISK 143 -------------------- Rim RIM-5 (Relational Information Manager) is a full relational DBMS that is suitable for VERY large databases using B-Tree data storage. It has a crude (by today's standards) user interface, but since full source code is provided, this can be fixed. Versions of RIM run on a wide variety of systems, small and large, and produce compatible databases. Also includes a built in HELP database and a programming language. Full Fortran source code and documentation included. Author: Various, Amiga port by Glenn Everhart CONTENTS OF DISK 144 -------------------- AnalytiCalc This disk contains a copy 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 104. Source and documentation is included on the disk in arc'd form because it otherwise would not all fit on the disk. CONTENTS OF DISK 145 -------------------- Csh This is a version of Matt's csh like shell which has been modified to provide file name completion and argument execution (via the grave accents mechanism). Requires ARP 1.1 to run. Binary only, but includes diffs for the reference 2.07 source base. Author: Matt Dillon; enhancements by Johan Widen DMouse Matt's done it again, another very useful program! This is a versatile screen blanker, mouse blanker, auto window activator, mouse accelerator, popcli style programmable command key, pop window to front, push window to back, etc, widget. Version 1.06, includes source. Author: Matt Dillon DNet A link protocol that provides essentially an unlimited number of reliable connections between processes on two machines, where each end of the link can be either an Amiga or a Unix (BSD4.3) machine. Works 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. Version 1.20, includes sources for both the Amiga and Unix versions. Author: Matt Dillon Tab A tablature writing program for the Amiga, with intruments for a banjo and a string guitar. Binary only. Author: Jeff deRienzo TinyProlog VT-PROLOG is a simple prolog interpreter provided with full source code to encourage experimentation with the PROLOG language and implementations. Version 1.1, includes source. Author: Bill and Bev Thompson CONTENTS OF DISK 146 -------------------- Blanker2 A screen blanking program that turns the screen black after 90 seconds of keyboard and mouse inactivity. Implemented as a very tiny event handler to the input handler event stream. Version 1.27.88, includes source. Author: Joe Hitchens C-Light A demonstration copy of a commercial ray tracing program, which is identical to the commercial version except that it has been limited to ten objects per scene. Binary only. Author: Ronald Peterson CrcLists Complete CRC check files for disks 129-141 and disks 143-145 of the library, using the crc program from disk 133. These were made directly from my master disks. Disk 142 is omitted because of a problem with the crc program. Author: Fred Fish DmeMacros A set of DME macros which utilize templates to turn DME into a language-sensitive editor for C, Pascal, Modula-2, and Fortran. Author: Jerry Mack MemoPad A shareware intuition-based memo reminder program. Nicely done. Version 1.1, binary only. Author: Michael Griebling ----------------- That's it for this batch. More disks to follow relatively soon... -Fred -- # Fred Fish hao!noao!mcdsun!fishpond!fnf (602) 921-1113 # Ye Olde Fishpond, 1346 West 10th Place, Tempe, AZ 85281 USA
