AMIGA Plus Disk Information

If this is your original disk that came with AMIGA Plus,
           PLEASE MAKE A COPY IMMEDIATELY!

    This disk features the following executable programs:

VirusX        - Brand-new Version 3.2 of Steve Tibbett's Public Domain virus
                fighting program is in the Utility drawer.  The documentation
                is found in the file VirusX.docs. We have included this
                utility because we feel that every Amiga user should be
                protected from contracting and spreading computer viruses.
                Also included in the VirusX package is the stand-alone
                program KV and its instructions, KV.docs, which must both be
                accessed from the CLI. KV will check files or directories for
                infection by the IRQ virus.

SuperView     - Version 2.1 of David Grothe's outstanding IFF picture display
                program is in the Art drawer.  Instructions are in
                SuperView.doc. This is the most powerful 'show' utility we
                have seen, it is used to display any pictures on this disk.

CalcFFP       - In the Programming directory, CalcFFP is the assembled
                executable code from Dr. Dan Wolf's Math library assembly
                language programming article.  It will do basic calculations
                using the Amiga floating point math routines, and is small
                enough to fit on a nearly full Workbench disk.  The source is
                in CalcFFP.asm. A brief note called ASMRead.me is also
                included. Double-clicking on the MathAsm icon will display the
                source file and notes.

Iff2Geo       - A handy utility by Eric Cosky which will convert an IFF
                picture into a 3D object (.geo) file for use with 3D programs
                from Aegis and others.  Instructions are in the file
                "Iff2Geo.docs". It is in the Utility Drawer.

FunPaint      - A simple paint program by John Casasanta is in the Utility
                drawer.  Instructions are in "FunPaint.Docs".  This program
                is very small, but will create IFF pictures in any standard
                format (sorry no overscan) including HAM!  It will also load
                standard IFF files... sometimes.

ColorText     - A small program to fix the system's Text() routine so that
                ColorFonts (tm Interactive Softworks) can be displayed. It is
                in the Fonts drawer.  More information is in the file
                "ColorText.Docs" and in the AMIGAPlus article on
                fonts by Lion Kuntz.

Backgammon    - In the Gammon drawer, a cute version of a famous game.

   The Art directory contains SuperView and its instructions, a script file
   called "Pictures" and its icon, and two pictures.  Mex_Triptych is a
   SuperBitMap (3 screens wide!) IFF picture created by Lewis Tilley for his
   Deluxe PhotoLab article. You can scroll it sideways by holding the left
   mouse button while moving the mouse sideways (if SuperView is showing it).
   The right mouse button will close the picture. Unfortunately, this large a
   picture requires alot of memory; users with 512k may not be able to view
   it. WoodLand2 is a ray-traced picture by Louis Markoya to accompany his
   article on 3-D organic object rendering. All the objects in the picture
   were mathematically defined as 3-D objects! Pictures is a script file with
   an icon which will show the pics on the disk automatically.

   The Utility directory holds VirusX and KV, the virus hunter programs and
   their docs.  Also in Utility are Iff2Geo and its instructions and
   FunPaint with docs.

   The Fonts directory contains ColorText and its instructions as well as
   three versions of the Sherbert font: Sherbert 48, the normal font;
   Sherbert 61, a ColorFont; and Sherbert.IFont, an InterFont which is useful
   for structured drawing programs (like CAD or 3-D programs) because it can
   be scaled and rotated without distortion.  Read Lion Kuntz' Fonts article
   in this issue of AMIGAPlus for more information. There is also an
   IFF picture, FontPic, which shows you what Sherbert 48 and 61 look like.

   The Programming directory contains the assembler file CalcFFP.asm along
   with some notes and the executable.  See Dan Wolf's Assembly language Fast
   Floating Point (FFP) article for details.

   The Gammon directory has a backgammon game in it, along with all the
   little files it needs in order to run.  Just double-click on the
   Backgammon icon to play.

   The Drawer directory is empty... but the chest of drawers would look
   pretty silly without that drawer.  The "Chest of Drawers" icons (and other
   icons on this disk) were created by icon artist Gary Roseman.  Use them
   for your own disks!  The chest can be made higher by copying the middle
   two drawer icons and inserting them appropriately.

   The entire disk has been processed with Blitz A Disk (B.A.D.) from M.V.
   Micro (distributed by Centaur Software Inc.) in order to speed up disk
   access. The format is the same as all AmigaDOS disks, but the files have
   been reorganized so that the icons are found and displayed very quickly.
