"WB2 BEST OF FISH" COLLECTION  The following disks are the result of a severe culling of the Fish Disks, which often have numerous updates, obscure text files, many programming source files, etc, of little use to the average user. Leon Jarvis has worked long and hard to reduce the collection to the most useful and interesting items, to make the Fish Collection easier to digest, and less of a problem to hunt through for that particular program. However, the full Fish Collection is always available from us if there is anything omitted which you might find useful. This list is constantly being updated by Leon, so keep updating your catalogue. Disks 1 - 7 cover the Fish disks from 1 - 100, disks 8 - 13 cover the Fish disks from 101 - 150 (amazing how it squeezes down), and disks 14 - 35 cover them from 151 - 210, and 15 - 40 cover from 211 - 236 and so on.  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of These disks require Workbench 2.0  ************ PLEASE NOTE ************ THE WB2 BEST OF FISH DISKS NOW NUMBER 1 to 23, covering Fish 1 - 1000.  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF THINGS DON'T WORK... Just a word to everyone that uses any public domain collections. Or If you are new to the Amiga and you are having problems and you are getting a requester saying something like: "please insert volume Best_of_fish" and you know that you just put your disk in the drive then more than likely you have removed a file from your Boot disk and the program cannot find it. Most of the time I have found the file to be Xicon that is missing from the Boot Disk,Also The Arp.Library from the Libs Directory. Use a Copy OF Your Original Workbench - This Should Stop Any Problems.  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is WB2_BEST OF FISH DISK_21 of the freely distributable AMIGA software. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. ALook An IFF ILBM displayer with lots of features! Displays Anims, HAM, extra half-brite, overscan, low-res, hi-res, lace, etc. Runs from WorkBench or CLI, recursive wild-card selection, specifiable delays between displays, loop mode and more. Uses iff.library. Requires OS 2.0. Version 3.1, binary only. Author: Trevor Andrews BBase2View A Base-Viewer for Databases created with BBase2. Advantages are faster database processing, viewing and more. Includes a print option for single records. Requires Amiga OS2.0, version 1.00, binary only, shareware. Author: Michael Bialas Clouds A program which creates randomly clouds on your screen. You may save them as IFF-files and use them as background for your workbench. Uses new AGA-feature (5-bitplane-hires-screen). Version 2.0, public domain. Author: Daniel Amor GrabKick A tool to copy the contents of any Kickstart ROM into a file. Note that there are many legitimate reasons for wishing to make a file copy of a ROM image. I don't condone using this program for any illegal uses however. You should be aware of the laws in your region with regard to fair use of software, including software contained in ROMS. Version 1.1. Author: Ralf Gruner Lyr-O-Mat A simple, fun program designed to generate sentences out of a word list and a sentence pattern database. English database included. Version 1.0. Binary only. Author: Karlheinz Klingbeil of CEKASOFT NewPop An upgrade to the original "POPCLI" by John Toebes. Features include a hotkey CLI (of course!), instant or timed screen blanking, a discreet informative backdrop window in the title- bar region of the WorkBench screen that gives the date, a rough indication of CPU usage and SCSI disk I/O and available memory. Also includes a runtime configuration file. Version 4.0. Author: Loren J. Rittle RussianFonts This is a scalable vector font. It's the Russian equivalent of the Times Roman font. It comes in two versions, ADOBE TYPE 1 (pbf-file) and PAGESTREAM FONT (dmf-file). This Font is shareware. Designed with FontDesigner. Author: Daniel Amor S-Anim5 Turns Anim5 animations (DPaint, Videoscape, P-Animate etc.) into self-contained self-displaying compressed files callable from the Workbench or CLI. As with S-Text and S-Pic these solve all decompression and display problems and save a lot of space as well. No compiling needed. Version 1.1, freeware, Cli only. Author: Chas A. Wyndham SeePix Based on Olaf Barthel's "LoadImage v1.11". SeePix is an IFF viewer/printer, featuring the ability to modify the colors of a pic for printing, allowing for truer colors in the printout (i.e. Blue prints Blue, not Purple), without modifying the pic itself. SeePix features an ARP interface, Iconization and the PathMaster File Selector. Author: Hank Schafer S-Pic Turns IFF ILBM pics into completely self-contained self- displaying compressed files callable from the Workbench or CLI. As with S-Text (on disk number #817), S-Pic will give you space-saving files which can be distributed without having to bother about display and decompression compatibility. No compiling needed. Version 1.2, freeware, Cli only. Author: Chas A. Wyndham Split The opposite of the AmigaDos JOIN command. Use it to split textfiles that are too large to edit on your computer, files for email-delivery that have a file size maximum... etc. The created files have the same name as the original except with an extension of two digits CLI ONLY. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Jonas Svensson  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is WB2_BEST OF FISH DISK_22 of the freely distributable AMIGA software. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. AmigaBase A hierachical, programmable, in-core database. Features include two display methods, filter datasets, search datasets, print datasets, and many more. Nearly everything can be real- ized by programming AmigaBase. Datatypes can be Integer, Real, Boolean, String, Memo (Text), Date and Time. Number of data- sets is only limited by available memory. Lacking documenta- tion, (available with shareware submission) but full Intuition interface make many operations quite obvious. Also includes some example projects. Runs under OS 1.3 and 2.0, shareware, binary only. Author: Steffen Gutmann ASwarmII A "high security" Screenblanker commodity (will not burn-in the phosphor even when the CPU is really busy). Based loosely upon Jeff Buterworth's "xswarm" for X11 Windowing System, it shows from 1-10 "wasps" beeing chased by 1-500 "bees". Screen will blank entirely under periods of high CPU usage. Requires Amiga OS 2.04 or better, version 1.3. Author: Markus Illenseer  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is WB2_BEST OF FISH DISK_23 of the freely distributable AMIGA software. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. DFA NOT just another address utility. DFA(ddress) features email support, dialing, different types of printing addresses, full commodity support, application icon, Arexx port, font sensitive windows and can be fully directed by the keyboard. This is version 1.23, lots of enhancements and bug fixes since version 1.1 on disk number 782. Shareware, binary only. Author: Dirk Federlein GoalKeeper Computer Soccer administration program. With this program you can create your own mini-League with up to eight teams. Is fit for the European and the UK way of counting scores. Now you can really find out who's the best at 'Kick Off 2','Sensible Soccer' or real soccer! Version 1.0. Author: Camiel Rouweler TextPort Four text porting utilities: StripCR -- strips the CR character from the end-of-line codes of MSDOS text files, for AmigaDOS or unix compatibility. AddCR -- converts AmigaDOS text files to MSDOS, but doesn't touch EOL codes that are already comp- atible. StripHR -- strips out hard returns from a text file, leaving paragraph formatting intact. Useful for wordproces- sors. Reformat -- re-wraps a text file to a different line length. Version 1.0, PD. Author: Alex Matulich, Unicorn Research Corporation WBStart WBStart is a package to emulate the WorkBench startup proce- dure, by loading a program, creating a process for it, and then sending it a WB startup message. Includes a handler process which does the starting of the processes for you and then waits for the startup reply messages. Version 1.3, an update to version 1.2 on disk number 757.
