NEW FISH DISKS ADDED TO THE LIBRARY SINCE MD23 Ed: For those new to the Amiga, the "Fish Disks" are compiled and distributed by Fred Fish in the US, and are the core of the Amiga public domain software & shareware (though there's a lot more if you check out the other listings in this drawer). What it means is that you don't have to pay a fortune for good software, graphics, demos, etc. At Megadisc we act as a relay station for all the PD disks that we can locate, to provide users and programmers with a low-cost service. ## 24 ## 24 ## 24 ## 24 ## 24 ## 24 ## 24 ## 24 ## 24 ## 24 ## 24 ## This is disk 540 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. Browser A "Programmer's Workbench". Allows you to easily and conveniently move, copy, rename, and delete files & directories from a CLI environment.

Version 1.0. Author: Sylvain Rougier ParM Parameterable Menu. ParM allows you to build menus to run whatever program you have on a disk. ParM can run programs either in WorkBench or CLI mode. This is an alternative to MyMenu which can run only when workbench is loaded. ParM can have it's own little window, can attach menus to the CLI window you are running it from, or to the WB menus, just like MyMenu. This is version 3.00, an update to version 2.5r on disk 419. Includes source in C. Author: Sylvain Rougier, Pierre Carrette PatchReq A patch for system requesters and arp file requester. Replace arp file requester with the great req.library file requester.

Berg MatLabPatch Patches for both Matlab and Diglib on disk 499. The version of Diglib compiled for 68000 machines has some incorrectly compiled modules (compiled for 68020) and therefore causes crashes on 68000 machines.

Author: Garry Glendown Ed: For those new to the Amiga, the "Fish Disks" are compiled and distributed by Fred Fish in the US, and are the core of the Amiga public domain software & shareware (though there's a lot more if you check out the other listings in this drawer). What it means is that you don't have to pay a fortune for good software, graphics, demos, etc. At Megadisc we act as a relay station for all the PD disks that we can locate, to provide users and programmers with a low-cost service. This is disk 520 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
