The following utilities are uploaded to ab20.larc.nasa.gov. These
utilities are for AmigaDOS 2.0 only and are written by Jorrit Tyberghein
(GHGAQZ4@BLEKUL11).
incoming/amiga/WB2.0/WhatIs21.zoo :
This is a utility that recognizes various files and dumps more
information if possible. You can also see what libraries, resources,
devices and fonts a program (either in executable or source form)
uses. You can also dump all printable text from a binary file. This
is useful to see if there are hidden messages in a program for example.
WhatIs supports wildcards. The following files are supported :
- IFF files (ILBM, SMUS, ANIM, FTXT, ...) in addition the complete
listing of the IFF file is dumped.
- executable and object files. In addition the hunks are listed.
- Lattice PGTB files
Some extra information is listed.
- Zoo and Lharc files
- DBaseIII files (used by AmigaVision)
Some extra information is listed.
- font header files
Some extra information is listed.
- GIF, TIFF, PCX and Sun Raster files are also supported. With some
of these formats you even get additional information like the size
and the number of colours.
- .info files. The gadget structure is dumped.
- Crunched data files (PowerPacker)
- Crunched executables (PowerPacker, HQC, TNM, Relokit, ...)
- MaxiPlan files
- Sonix files
- WhatIs can also dump the FileInfoBlock and the InfoData structures
for files and devices.
- ... (and a lot more)
Future files that may be supported :
dvi files (TeX), PageStream files, ProPage files, ProDraw files,
Compugraphic font files, ...
incoming/amiga/WB2.0/Iff2Source.zoo :
This is a utility to convert ILBM or ANIM files to C or machinelanguage
source. Iff2Source uses the 3D look and feel design of the new
WorkBench programs. Iff2Source is relatively fast (compared to NGI
at least), and the program is very small (only 9K). You can also preview
the picture in a smaller window, and you can convert multiple files at
once. And last but not least : you can drop icons in the window which
can then be converted.
incoming/amiga/WB2.0/Din.zoo :
This is a library for object sharing. With this library you can share
objects between different programs. When the object is changed by
some owner, the owner can automatically notify all the programs linked
to that object. This library can be used for all objects (graphics,
text, ...). This is version 1.0.
