For the programmer's meeting, the first disk is a collection of tools
for programmers, and has several example programs in "C" that will give
you some insight into programming on the Amiga.

                      [4;33mDISK CONTENTS[0m

[1;33mBlink6.7[0m
   The latest version of the Public Domain replacement linker by "The
   Software Distillary" - this one is Version 6.7 dated 15 October 1986.
   It will complement the PD Assembler, A68k, also on this disk.

[1;33mMED - Mr.ED Another General Purpose Editor[0m
   Mr. Ed is a general purpose editor written at Evans and Sutherland
   computer corporation. It only runs under the CLI.  An extensive
   documentation file is included.

[1;33mTxt - a general purpose "strip" utility[0m
   This utility allows you to manipulate text files in a myriad of very
   useful ways.  Sorry, it won't cut your toe nails for you, but will do
   just about everything else: 

   You can strip out extra line feeds and miscellaneous control
   characters, remove double spacing, reformat paragraphs with word wrap,
   detab or entab with tab positioning under your control, and will also
   strip miscellaneous garbage (non printable characters) from your file.

   - By Ray Lance.  Source code is included.

[1;33mMenu[0m
   An example from the Jan/Feb 1986 issue of "Amiga World", written in "C",
   which demonstrates how to open windows, set up a menu strip, and how to
   test for which option was selected by the mouse.

[1;33mA68k[0m
   Here is a freely distributable Metacomco-compatible assembler by the
   PaNorAmA club's own Charlie Gibbs.  Charlie converted the Modula 2
   68000 assembler published in last summer's Dr. Dobbs to "C", and added
   a few enhancements in the process.  He plans to release the code as well
   after he has added a few more features.

[1;33mXPlor[0m
   Want to know how to get at some of the system lists?  The club Guru,
   Larry Phillips has written an example in assembler to show you how to
   do it.

[1;33mPrinterDrivers[0m
   This drawer contains a number of printer drivers, and some usefull
   utility programs.

   New drivers include: a Gemini10x, a Roland 1212a, an IBM ColourJet
   printer, and several plotters.  There is also source code for the 
   render.c part of a color version of the NEC CP6 printer.
   The Gemini 10x and Roland 1212a drivers were written by Panorama
   executive member Allen MacKinnon.  Source code is included!

   The utilities are two: 
     SetPrt - allows you to modify some of the parameters of an existing
     driver.  A documentation file is included.
     PrGen  - Version 1.1 of a real general purpose printer driver
     generator, including an example for a "ThinkJet" printer.  Source 
     code in Modula 2 is also included.  A shareware program by
     Jorgen Thomsen.

[1;33mRequestor[0m
   Club member Anson Mah has been working for quite a while on this one,
   but its worth the wait.  Here is an example file requestor, written in
   "C", that mimics Charlie Heath's TxED requestor - including real time
   scrolling file names controlled by the proportional scroll bar. 

[1;33mCXPlor[0m
   Another fine example by Anson Mah which duplicates Larry's "XPlor".  If
   you have trouble understanding assembler, try reading Anson's example
   in "C" showing how to traverse some of the system lists.

[1;33mTxHelp[0m
   An example of how to use "Hot Keys" by Anson.  Programs the numeric
   keypad to alias TxED's menu commands.  Source code in "C" of course!
