CLI UTILITIES WRITTEN BY NIC WILSON & ANDY CLAY The following files were all written in 68000 assembly language. Each program was written in response to requests from various Amiga users. [Ed: Some more excellent Assembly programming by Nic and Andy for which we're most grateful. Very useful CLI-only programs which will add a lot to your computing efficiency and enjoyment. See also the NOVIRUS program in this drawer (see "About_Virus_Progs") which is the best I've seen yet from anywhere. To check out the programs mentioned below, simply double-click on the GO_TO_CLI icon to open a CLI, and go for it. Just be careful of the DISKWIPE program - it will wipe disks!] DISKWIPE - Erases a disk in the given drive (disk will require reformatting) [Ed: this command could be used to try to resuscitate a really dead disk that you've given up on. Once you've done it, by entering in the CLI, say > diskwipe df1: , you'll need to FORMAT or INITIALISE the disk again. Also useful to really remove any info on the disk, prying eyes and all that.] ERRCHECK - Checks a disk in the given drive and displays any errors found. [Ed: Nic tells me that this will continue to be updated and given more bells and whistles, but it will certainly report any problems on your disk.] See the NOTSYS.DOC for information about the 3 programs NOTSYS, GRAB and RESTORE. USAGE OF THE PROGRAMS Diskwipe - Where is any valid drive eg. DF0: DF1: DF2: DF3: ErrCheck [r] - Where is as above, and [r] is an optional switch for recursive checking of multiple disks. (eg. multiple disks can be checked without having to keep on loading the program) If there are any queries or bug reports on any of these programs please notify NIC WILSON at the address or phone below.
