fnf@mcdsun.UUCP (Fred Fish) (05/07/87)
Here is a listing of the contents of disks 69-74. Duplication and mailing of pre-ordered disks will begin tomorrow (Thursday) and should be completed by this weekend sometime. I'm trying to be a little more timely about getting disks released now, rather than saving them all up for several weeks and then releasing a huge batch. Several people have commented privately to me that I must receive lots of unsolicited disks from people wanting to contribute to the library. In actuality, aside from the MicroGNUemacs folks, the software distillery, and a few others, I seldom receive any unsolicited material. Although I haven't previously advertised the fact, people that send me interesting stuff often get several of the latest batch of disks back in return. So, if you feel you have something I might not have seen, feel free to send it in. I can't promise to use it, or that you will ever see anything back in return (though I will return your disk if you request it); it depends a lot on the quality of the material, my current stock of blank disks, and lots of other little factors. As usual, software that includes source code gets priority over "binary only". Enjoy. CONTENTS OF DISK 74 ------------------- Cled A simple command line editor which allows you to edit your commands before and after they are processed. Uses the arrow keys and simple control sequence keystrokes for cursor positioning and editing tasks. Version 1.3, binary only. Author: Pat Empleo Control Program which provides finer control over the printer device. When it sees a DUMPRPORT, it fires up a requestor and lets you play with the values being passed in the IORequest block. Includes source. Author: Andy Finkel Dme Version 1.25 of Matt's text editor. Dme is a simple WYSIWYG editor designed for programmers. It is not a WYSIWYG word processor in the traditional sense. Features include arbitrary key mapping, fast scrolling, title-line statistics multiple windows, and ability to iconify windows. Update to version on disk number 59. Binary only. Author: Matt Dillon DropShadow A program that makes your WorkBench windows have dropshadows. Update to version on disk number 59, this one has slider gadgets to adjust the 3-dimensional distance between window planes and the shadow darkness. Neat, version 2.0, binary only. Author: Jim Mackraz Funds AmigaBASIC program to track the prices of mutual funds or stocks. Includes source. Author: Bill Strack Less Like Unix "more", only better, with forward and backward scrolling, searching and positioning by percent of file and line number, etc. Very useful! This is Amiga version 1.1, an update to the version on disk number 34. Includes source. Author: Mark Nudelman, Amiga port by Bob Leivian Makemake Reads C source files and constructs a vanilla makefile in the current directory. Includes source. Author: Tim McGrath mCAD An object-oriented drawing program, version 1.2.4. Uses a small set of graphics primitives (like "line", "box", and "text") and a small set of editing functions (like "move", "size", and "rotate"). While drawing and editing, the user can call on other functions to modify the display; to zoom in, slide around, superimpose a grid, etc. Update to version on disk number 59. Shareware, binary only. Author: Tim Mooney Random Simple random number generator in C. Includes source. Author: Gene Toole (?) TDebug Monitor a device by intercepting the EXEC SendIO and DoIO vectors. This will give you most of the IO request information for any device. Version 1.00, includes source. Author: Matt Dillon Units Units conversion program, including a chart option which allows you to create charts of conversions. Nifty. Includes source. Author: Gregory Simpson XCopy A replacement for the AmigaDOS copy command. Preserves the file date, provides an "update only" option, and uses Unix type wildcards. Binary only. Author: Lee Robertson CONTENTS OF DISK 73 ------------------- Add Lets you create keyboard shortcuts for selection of menu items in programs where the author did not make provisions for such shortcuts, or chose ones that disagree with you. Also includes "until" which waits for a specific named window to be created. Shareware, includes source. Author: John Russell AutoIconOpen Example code to fool WorkBench into thinking it is receiving mouse inputs that select and open icons. Includes source. Author: Tony Wills Dio A module which makes it very easy to use EXEC devices, such as the 'serial.device'. It's generic and can be used with any EXEC device. It allows you to easily open libraries, get multiple IO channels for a device, read, write, do asyncronous operations, etc. Includes source. Author: Matt Dillon Dissolve A program like ViewILBM, but the image slowly coalesces as pixels are added in random patterns. Inspired by an article in Nov 86 issue of Doctor Dobb's Journal by Mike Morton. Includes source. Author: Lee Robertson DTerm Small, flexible, terminal program with intelligent data mapping, intelligent keyboard mapping, dynamic menus, intelligent command language, asyncronous IO, duplex control, and a state machine structure allowing you to build any automatic control structure you wish (from auto-redial, sequence dialing, to auto-logon). Version 1.10, binary only. Author: Matt Dillon Expose Program which will automatically cause all screen drag bars and screen depth-arrangers to become exposed. Sends a message to windows which obscure the screen drag bars, asking them to move down a pixel, and also to become smaller if necessary. Includes source. Author: John Russell Lit Lit filters a file to stdout, showing all characters in an unambiguous format. Printable characters are printed as is, non-printable characters are printed in any of three representation formats. Version 2.0, includes source. Author: Donald Irving Lmv This shareware program, submitted by the author, is called "Long Movie". It loads up to 100 IFF graphics files and displays them in forward or reverse order, at up to 19 frames per second, to create computer animations for VCR recording. Binary only, source available from author. Author: Jim Webster MouseOff Mouseoff will cause the mouse pointer to disappear and then reappear if mouse movement is detected. It will disappear again after 10 seconds of no mousing around. Includes source. Author: Denny Jenkins ParOut An example that uses the parallel port resources (ciaa.resource and misc.resource) to access the parallel port directly. Compiled, but untested, since I have nothing hooked to mine. Includes source. Author: Phillip Lindsay PenPalFont A font which will make your six year old feel right at home in a CLI window. Cute. Author: Burton Ogden RunBackGround Ancient history, but when I went looking for it on my disks, it was apparently something I missed. This program performs a function similar to that performed by RunBack on disk number 66, but this one is in C rather than assembler. Includes source. Author: Rob Peck SnapShot A small utility for dumping screens. This one works like POPCLI and stays dormant until you press Ctrl-Esc. Previous release on disk number 66 did not with with expansion ram, this one does. Binary only. Author: Francois Rouaix TypeAndTell Example program that demonstrates installation of an input device handler before the Intuition one. This example traps all keys typed by the user and pronounces them in real time. To quit press CNTL LEFT-SHIFT LEFT-ALT RIGHT-AMIGA simultaneously. Includes source.

CONTENTS OF DISK 70 ------------------- Note that many of the programs on this disk are shareware/freeware. This means that if you find them useful, you are morally obligated to send a small donation to the author to help support his efforts and fund further development. I hope that by including them in this library I have furthered the author's goals of widest possible distribution and thus maximum return. Also note (for those that like to split hairs) that I am distributing this disk as a "freebee". To receive a copy, just request it when ordering any other disks from the library. AmigaMonitor Dynamically display the state of the machine, including open files, active tasks, resources, device states, interrupts, libraries, ports, etc. Display window into memory. Version 1.13, binary only (source available from author). Author suggests $15 donation.
