Author: Gary Creighton InputLock An input handler to help Amiga users who have cats other pets (or children) that mess with the Amiga as soon as it is left for a second. It installs an input handler which lets you lock the keyboard and mouse by pressing a few buttons. Very small, uses only 190 bytes of memory. This is version 1.1, an update to version 1.0 on disk 483. Includes source in assembler. Author: Preben Nielsen PicSaver A small utility that allows you cut rectangular portions of any screen and store them on disk as IFF ILBM files.

Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Jim Locker vScreen Allows you to have screens that are larger than the actual display area of your monitor. These larger "virtual screens" scroll when you move the mouse off the edge of the visible section of the screen. Currently does not work under AmigaDOS 2.0. Includes source. Author: Davide Cervone This is disk 495 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. AnalytiCalc The AnalytiCalc spreadsheet, directly executable. This version features operation with only one window, many "3 dimensional" sheet addressing primitives, and optional execution from icons. Two images are furnished, one for smaller and one for large internal storage (though both have software virtual memory if needed). These images operate OK under AmigaDos 1.2, 1.3, and 2.0. They include code allowing the spreadsheet to be treated as a series of "pages" so that a cell has a row, column, and (optionally) page, and ranges can be in depth along pages as well as along rows or columns. The mapping is flexible enough so that it can be used to facilitate computing traces of matrices if desired, as well as for more conventional use. Version V25-03B, an update to version V24-01a on disk 328. Includes source. Author: Glenn Everhart This is disk 496 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. AvailMem A small free memory counter that continuously displays the amount of (and size of the largest block of) free chip, fast, and total memory in bytes (as opposed to K). This is version 1.12, a Workbench 2.0-compatible upgrade to version 1.03 on disk 285. Includes source. Author: Dave Schreiber DU A Workbench 2.0-aware DU program. Unlike other Amiga DU programs, it will skip over links to files and links to directories. Not only does this give a more accurate representation of how much space the contents of a particular directory are taking up, it also prevents infinite loops when a directory has a link to one of it's ancestors. Version 1.02, includes source. Author: Dave Schreiber GodsDemo Playable demo of a very popular European game. Author: Bitmap Brothers MemMometer A program that opens a narrow window and graphically both displays your memory usage like a gauge, and also detects changes in regions of memory over time. Detected changes are catagorized and displayed using color coded bands. This is version 2.20, an update to version 2.10 on disk 350. It accomodates AmigaDOS 2.0 and the Amiga 3000 32-bit memory addresses. Includes source. Author: Howard Hull Ruler Ruler is a small tool used in the measurement and con- strainment of text. Originally conceived as a tool for insuring that filenames didn't exceed the Amiga's 30 character limit, it is nevertheless useful in any sit- uation when the number of characters in a line of text needs to be counted. Version 5.00, includes source. Author: Thad Floryan, Chad Netzer and Dave Schreiber This is disk 497 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.

This is version 1.08. Includes german version and source in C. Author: Stefan Sticht Back&Front Sends a window to back or brings it to front with defined actions. For example put a window in front by double- clicking in it and send it back with the middle mouse button. Any keyboard or mouse event can be trapped.

Author: Stefan Sticht ChangeColors A new palette tool to change the colors of the workbench or any other public screen. The feature of this tool is its font independance; it uses the font of the screen on which it opens, instead of insisting on topaz 8. Looks really great if you use any other font than topaz on your workbench screen. This is version 1.03. Includes german version. Binary only. Author: Stefan Sticht LeftyMouse Yet another LeftyMouse, this one implemented as a commodity. Swaps the left and right mousebutton for lefties. Requires AmigaOS 2.0. This is version 1.04.

This is version 1.05. Includes german version and source in C. Author: Stefan Sticht This is disk 498 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. CPalette A palette adjusting program that can be brought up on just about any screen, including HAM and EHB. Version 1.1, includes source in assembly. Author: Craig Lever FreeCopy FreeCopy is unlike most copiers in that it does not actually copy disks. It removes the protection so disks can easily be backed up with almost any program, and in some cases be installed on your hard drive. Version 1.4, binary only. Author: Greg Pringle Pauky Demo version of an English to German (and vice versa) word translation trainer. Version 1.2, binary only. Author: David Wetzel TapeCover TapeCover prints out those little paper inserts for casette tape cases. It lets you enter the name of the songs, and the title of each side.

Author: Hal Brand, Craig Wuest, James Locker, Mike Broida Matlab A FORTRAN package (MATrix LABoratory) developed by Argonne National Laboratories for in house use. It provides comprehensive vector and tensor operations in a package which may be programmed either through a macro language or through execution of script files. Supported functions include sin, cos, tan, arcfunctions, upper triangular, lower triangular, determinants, matrix multiplication, identity, hilbert matrices, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, matrix roots, matrix products, inversion, and more. Amiga specific features include workbench startup, polar plots, contour plots, enhanced plot buffer control, and algorithmic plot display generation. This is an update to the version on disk 267, with many bug fixes and code reorganizations. Includes source in FORTRAN.

Signal Two programs designed to make it easy to write shell scripts that must be synchronized with the operation of another, in order to avoid disk thrashing for example. Includes source. Author: Davide Cervone sWindows A program that allows you to use the title of a window to specify the screen on which the window will appear. This provides a method of opening CON: and RAW: windows on screens other than the WorkBench, for example. Includes source. Author: Davide Cervone wIconify A program, and number of companion utilities, that allow you to iconify windows on any screen, including custom screens. Iconified windows become small icons on the bottom of the screen, and they can be opened again by double- clicking them. Also allows any screen to become a shared, WorkBench-like screen, and gives you the ability to create new screens specifically for this purpose. Each window can have its own custom icon. There is a programmers interface to allow programs to control their own icons. Version 3.8, includes source.
