============================== README.list 51 ============================ Bison A replacement for unix "yacc" command. This is from the GNU (GNU is Not Unix) effort, and was obtained from the Free Software Foundation. This is a working update to the version on disk number 4, provided by Johan Widen. Author: Bob Corbett and Richard Stallman Compress This is an update to the compress version released on disk number 6. It is tested and seems to work well except for a couple glitches noticed at the last minute (see the README file). Compress reduces the size of the named files using adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding. The amount of compression obtained depends on the size of the input, the number of bits per code, and the distribution of common substrings. Typically, text such as source code or English is reduced by 50-60%. Compression is generally much better then that achieved by Huffman coding (as used in "pack") or adaptive Huffman coding (as used in "compact"), and takes less time to compute. Author: Thomas Spencer, with improvements by others Cos A "Wheel Of Fortune" style game in AmigaBasic. Author: Steve Michel DifSsed Dif produces a difference file which lists the line by line differences between any two text files. These differences can be fed to ssed (a stream type editor), along with the original text file, to remotely reproduce the other (new) file. Binary only.

Has successfully compiled itself on a 68000 based Unix system V machine, but has yet to be fully ported to the Amiga. It will currently produce assembly output for simple C routines on the Amiga, but needs lots of work to be really useful as anything other than a learning tool for budding compiler guru's. Author: Matthew Brandt SpreadSheet A simple "Visicalc-like" spread sheet calculator. Also known as "vc" but there is currently a debate about whether or not that name is a registered trademark.

Solves the towers of hanoi problem in a workbench window of its own. Author: Ali Ozer ISpell A quick and dirty port of a Unix version of a freely distributable screen oriented, interactive, spelling checker. I use the Unix version daily and it is very nice.

Author: Rob Peck ============================== README.list 62 ============================= This disk contains a port of the popular UNIX game "Hack", done by John Toebes and the crew at the Software Distillery. This is version 1.0.3D. The disk is unchanged except for the following: (1) I have added this file, README.list62. (2) I have added the standard distribution info file, README.dist. (3) I have copied all the files to a freshly formatted disk, to create the master distribution disk, using a command of the form "copy df0: to df1: all". This insures that disk fragmentation is kept to a minimum, but also has the unfortunate side-effect that all the file dates are changed. Note that this disk must be named "Hack_Game". I have elected to keep that name, rather than using the usual "AmigaLibDiskXX" convention for disks in my library, to avoid requiring users to rename the disk before using it. ============================== README.list 63 ============================= This disk contains a port of the popular UNIX game "Larn", done by Edmund Burnette and the crew at the Software Distillery. This is version 12.0B. The disk is unchanged except for the following: (1) I have added this file, README.list63. (2) I have added the standard distribution info file, README.dist. (3) I have copied all the files to a freshly formatted disk, to create the master distribution disk, using a command of the form "copy df0: to df1: all". This insures that disk fragmentation is kept to a minimum, but also has the unfortunate side-effect that all the file dates are changed. Note that this disk must be named "Larn". I have elected to keep that name, rather than using the usual "AmigaLibDiskXX" convention for disks in my library, to avoid requiring users to rename the disk before using it. Also note that, as distributed, this disk is only about 40% full. Normally I try to fill my library disks to about 90-95% full, but these "packaged" disks are special. ============================== README.list 64 ============================= This is a copy of the Amiga Developer's IFF disk, received directly from Commodore-Amiga sources, with permission to place in the library and redistribute. It is an update to disk number 16, and is unchanged except for: 1) The volume name has been changed to AmigaLibDisk64. 2) This file (README.list64) has been added. I didn't have room for my standard README.dist file. There were only 4 free blocks on the disk when I got it! ============================== README.list 65 ============================ Bawk Text processor inspired by the Unix awk utility. Bawk searches files for specific patterns and performs actions for every occurance of these patterns. The patterns can be regular expressions. The actions are expressed using a subset of the C language. Unfortunately this version always gets a stack overflow no matter what the stack is set to, I haven't had a chance to find the bug. Includes source, so you can hunt for it. Looks like it could be a very useful utility for the Amiga.

Author: Matt Dillon NewPackets Tutorial downloaded from BIX C-A support section, which describes some new packets and structures in 1.2 AmigaDos. Author: Carolyn Scheppner PascalToC A Pascal to C translator program which is supposed to correctly handle function, procedure, and most type declarations. However, this quick and dirty port didn't fare too well on even a simple little Pascal fragment from Software Tools in Pascal. I don't know if the problem is machine dependencies in the code or bugs. Looks like it could be useful with a little more work than I have time to put into it now. Includes source. Author: James Mullens, enhancements by Dan Kegel Prep Version 2.1 of a Fortran preprocessor called 'prep', an alternative to ratfor. Prep has better macro facilities, a concise shorthand for array and vector statements, all the standard flow control constructs of forth, and is written in generic, portable C (I made no source changes).

Author: Hari Wiguna ============================== README.list 68 ============================ This diskette contains the latest Amiga version of MicroGNUEmacs (MG 1b), a small but powerful text editor that also runs on many other computer systems besides the Amiga. One of MG's major goals is to be compatible with its "cousin" GNU Emacs, so certain features you may have seen in other versions of MicroEmacs may work differently here, or not exist. Hopefully, you'll find the added features MG provides to be worth the trouble it takes to make the switch. As well as the commands available on *all* systems MG supports, Amiga MG has many Amiga-specific features: the Amiga mouse (with 24 different functions!), Intuition pull-down menus, the Browser (a very nice way to select files), Amiga function keys, a full-screen editing window, and support for using a different text font in the editing window. A very nice job guys! Congratulations. This disk is essentially unchanged except that I have added the usual README.dist and README.list files, along with changing the volume name to AmigaLibDisk68. The original volume name was "MG1b". ============================== README.list 69 ============================ Asm68k Full featured macro assembler, version 1.0.3, binary only. Well documented.

Author: Eric Vaughan ============================== README.list 83 ============================= This disk contains a demo version of TeX, ported to the Amiga by Tomas Rokicki. The disk is unchanged except for the following: (1) I have added this file, README.list83, the standard distribution info file, README.dist, and associated icon files, plus "less" to read the text files. (2) I have copied all the files to a freshly formatted disk, to create the master distribution disk, using xcopy, which preserves the file dates. This insures that disk fragmentation is kept to a minimum. (3) In order to make room for the files I have added, I have compressed the file TeX/inputs/amigatex.tex using a version of compress (compress.b13) that should run on any standard 512K amiga. This version of compress is found in c/compress.b13. To recover the original file, execute the commands: cd AmigaLibDisk83:TeX/inputs :c/compress.b13 ram:amigatex.tex -d Since this is a demo version of Tom's commercial product, it has several limitations that let you get the flavor of the real thing but encourage you to buy the commercial version. These limitations include TeX being limited to processing only small files, the previewer being limited to displaying ten pages or less, and only a small number of fonts being provided. The full version of AmigaTeX comes on eight floppies and will handle larger documents than most mainframe versions of TeX. See the tex/README file for further info. ============================== README.list 84 ============================ AudioTools Demo programs from Rob Peck's article in the July/August issue of Amiga World on accessing the audio device.

ADL is a superset of an older language named DDL, by Michael Urban, Chris Kostanick, Michael Stein, Bruce Adler, and Warren Usui. ADL enhancements were made by Ross Cunniff, who submitted this material for inclusion in the library. The disk is essentially unchanged except that: (1) Many icon files have been added to help workbench only users get at least some information about this disk and about ADL (which is only usable from the CLI environment). (2) The disk name has been changed to AmigaLibDisk91. (3) The standard library files "GeneralInfo", "Contents", and "Distribution", along with their associated icons, have been added to the disk. (4) The directory 'c' has been added, along with a very nice text reader program called "less", which is the default tool for reading all the text files for which there are icons. Included here are the sources to the ADL compiler, interpreter, and debugger. The binaries were compiled by Ross with the Lattice 3.03 compiler. Ross noted in his letter that currently ADL is a CLI environment program only, but that he hopes to offer a more Amiga'ized version in the future. Also, the stack size should be set to at least 10000 before attempting to run ADL. ============================= Readme.list 92 ========================== As6502 Contains a portable 6502 assembler, including source in C.
