Yes, it's a little late, but that is my fault for procrastinating so long and not sending it out to the moderator. -Fred ====================================================================== CONTENTS OF FFMCD01 (first monthly CD-ROM) This file contains some overview information about the contents of the CD-ROM, followed by a concatenation of a bunch of individual Contents files on the CD-ROM. There wasn't time to set up a better method for this first CD-ROM to find specific programs or types of programs. This situation *will* get better with future CD-ROM's. STRUCTURE OF THE CD-ROM ----------------------- The current structure of the CD-ROM closely follows the initial concept for the monthly CD-ROM's, being divided into roughly three sections: (1) New material, which includes the material from the new unreleased floppy disks as well as material which does not appear in the floppy distribution, (2) useful utilities that can be used directly off the CD-ROM if desired, thus freeing up the corresponding amount of hard disk space, and (3) older material from previous released floppy disks or CD-ROM's. The portion of the disk dedicated to new material that I've not previously published on a CD-ROM or floppy disk is 84Mb, broken down as follows: 7Mb Archived (bbs ready) contents of disks 911-930 16Mb Unarchived (ready-to-run) contents of disks 911-930 21Mb Archived "new material" not in floppy distribution 40Mb Unarchived "new material" not in floppy distribution The portion of the disk dedicated to a bunch of useful tools like GNU utilities, TeX with lots of fonts, and other interesting software that will be updated on a monthly basis, is 150Mb, broken down as follows: 3Mb Reviews of Amiga software and hardware 4Mb Full BSD source for supplied BSD executables. 8Mb Binary executables, libraries, and other "runtime" things. 10Mb Runtime support stuff for GNU emacs and GNU C/C++ 14Mb Distributions of various small utilities and libraries. 33Mb PasTeX source, fonts, binaries, etc. 78Mb Full GNU source for supplied GNU executables. The portion of the disk dedicated to old material is 404Mb, broken down as follows: 257Mb Unarchived contents of floppy disks 600-910. 147Mb Archived (bbs-ready) contents of floppy disks 600-910. GNU CODE -------- Here are the current GNU distributions which are included in both source and binary form. In most cases, they are the very latest distributions ftp'd directly from the FSF machines and compiled with the version of gcc included on this CD-ROM. I have personally compiled all of the GNU binaries supplied on this CD-ROM, to verify that the compiler (version 2.4.5) is solid and that the binaries are in fact recreatable from the supplied source code. bc diffutils flex grep make tar binutils doschk gas gzip patch termcap bison emacs gcc indent perl texinfo cpio fileutils gdbm ispell sed textutils dc find gmp m4 shellutils uuencode Here is an "ls -C" of the binary directory which can be added to your path to make these utilities, as well as utilities from the Useful/dist/other directories, usable directly off the CD-ROM, once it is mounted: AD2HT bc doschk indent paste test ARTM bison du info patch texi2dvi AZap brik echo install pathchk texindex AmigaGuide bsd-make egrep ispell pr touch DiskSalv bsplit emacs join printenv tr ExpungeXRef c++ env ld printf true Installer cat etags lha protoize unexpand LHArc chgrp expand ln ranlib uniq LHWarp chksum expr locate rm unprotoize LoadXRef chmod false logname rmdir uudecode MKProto chown fgrep look sdiff uuencode MuchMore cksum find ls sed v NewZAP cmp flex m4 sh vdir PerfMeter comm flushlibs make size wc RSys cp fold makeinfo sleep whoami SD cpio g++ mg sort xargs SuperDuper csplit gcc mkdir split yes SysInfo cut gccv mkfifo strip zcat WDisplay d gdir mknod sum zoo Xoper dc grep mv tac [ dd gunzip nice tail ar diff gzip nl tapemon as diff3 head nm tar basename dirname id od tee Contents of Floppy Disks 600-910 -------------------------------- Because this is the first monthly CD-ROM, there are no previous monthly CD-ROM's from which to replicate new material from previous months. I've elected to use the contents of floppy disks 600-910 to fill that portion of the CD-ROM. The next monthly CD-ROM will contain the new material from the first one, which will squeeze out a substantial number of the older disks, probably 600-700. Then the next monthly after that will contain the new material from both of the previous monthly disks, squeezing out another batch of older disks, etc. New/AmigaLibDisks/Disk911/Contents ---------------------------------- GadLayout A system for laying out gadgets in a dynamic font and locale sensitive manner. Note that it is not a graphical editor, but a set of routines for programmers to use for much greater con- trol in the laying out of gadgets. Version 36.22 release 1.6 beta, includes source and an example program. Author: Timothy J. Aston GadOutline A shared library intended to provide programmers with a means of describing the general layout of a GUI in a font-independant manner, taking care of the details of determining the exact placement of the individual elements of the display and the drudgery of creating and managing all of the gadgets. In addi- tion, it provides a very generalized mechanism for tracking the state of all of its gadgets to support automatic resizing and closing and opening of a window without loss of context. Includes automatic hotkey support and a vector based drawing module that can be used for everything from drawing frames around groups of gadgets to creating custom images for BOOPSI gadgets. Version 2.0, includes the library, programmer support files and some examples. Author: Dianne Hackborn PSM Yet Another Public Screen Program. It was primarily written as a demonstration of the gadoutline.library, and is thus current- ly very GUIcentric - it does no command line parsing for CLI users or even look at its Workbench tooltypes. On the other hand, it does have a very sophisticated multi-window user interface and allows almost complete control over the creation of screens. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Dianne Hackborn.

Author: Soft-Logik Publishing Corporation JukeBox JukeBox is a program to play compact digital audio discs by emulating a graphical user interface similar to common CD players. It provides a command line oriented, fully program- mable ARexx user interface as well. Works on CD-ROM players plugged to a scsi-hostadapter or CDTV. Opens its windows on the WorkBench (or any other public screen) and does its best to allow a font sensitive layout. Version 1.2530, binary only. Author: Franz-Josef Reichert PowerTracker Module-Replayer supporting more than 20 formats. A music player that goes back to the basics. It supports a wide range of music formats without the need for many external libraries and players. PowerTracker is a complete music player in one tidy package! Version 1.3b, binary only, public domain. Author: Wai Hung Liu New/OS30/Contents ----------------- JPEGDataType Converts jpegs to 8 bit data for multiview and other programs. It's SLOW and memory hungry, but does quite a reasonable job. This is V39.1 of the JPEG datatype. It will ONLY work under >=WB3.0 of the OS using >=68020. Binary only. Author: Steve Goddard TPD Tron's PCX DataType V39.1, TPD is a datatype for OS 3.0 or newer. This datatype enables your system to read PCX files. PCX is an image file format invented by the pro- grammers of the program "PaintBrush" and one of the most common image formats on MS-DOS computers. With this data- type you will be able to display such PCX files with "MultiView" or load them as patterns or pictures with "WBPattern". Binary only. Author: Matthias Scheler ZGIFDataType A much faster replacement gif.datatype, coded using the same lightning assembler as seen in ZGif04 (only _faster_). Main points: Very fast, pictures usually load at the same speed as equivalent depth ILBM's! (use it with viewtek105 for faster gif loading :); Supports almost all gifs (all self-contained gifs); async file reading dramatically boosts floppy performance; It's free! Requires and 020+ and OS3.0+. Version 39.3, binary only. Author: Michael Zucchi New/Pics&Anim/Contents ---------------------- Asm93_gfx Various pics from Asm93 gfx compo. Author: Various Barfly-Prev A small preview of the Barfly Assembler/Debugger enviroment. The picture of bdebug shows 2 debug sessions on an A2024 and the guide file is an old file I wrote for the devcon, so it doesn't represent the current state but it's still quite accurate. The only *major* thing missing in that guide is that the debugger can also stop on enforcer hits. Author: Ralph Schmidt Butterfly A 3D Imagine trace of an electronic butterfly. Author: Chris Short Creature A 60 frame test animation of a hideous creature that leans in and snaps at the camera...ooooh, creapy stuff :-) Created with the new 3.0 LW Modeler and animated with bones in Light- Wave. Rendered with motion blur and field rendering enabled then post converted to a HAM animation. Author: Mark Thompson Parasaur HAM and JPEG of a Parasaurolophus. (That's okay... I can't pronounce it either!) Author: Andrew Denton RachelRaccoon Two new hand-drawn "Eric Schwartz" style" pictures of a car- toon raccoon. The pictures are overscanned hi-res interlace NTSC and are provided in 256, 16, and 8 color versions suit- able for use as Workbench backdrop pictures. Included are "Karate Rachel" and "AmiCUE Rachel". An included bonus is a picture of Rachel by Eric Schwartz. Author: Leslie Dietz (and Eric Schwartz) Thunder Another "hungry-looking" dinosaur. HAM and JPEG formats. Author: Andrew Denton TShirt These are two pictures which I have printed on my TShirt. Front: Amicon5 Flip the Frog & Clarisse Cat by Eric W. Schwartz. Back : Green Smily & Don't Panic known from the cover of some DNA-books. Author: Eric W. Schwartz and an unknown artist, submitted by Martin Schulze Windmill This is a 100 frame test animation I did as a proof of a concept for a technique I developed to simulate tall grass blowing in the wind. The method used to create it is des- cribed in articles I wrote for Amiga Video/Graphics and a new publication, LightWave Pro (put out by the VTU people). It was done with LightWave 3.0 and took about 10mins per frame with antialiasing at 752x480 resolution on a 33MHz Zeus equipped 2000. Author: Mark Thompson New/Printer/Contents -------------------- DviHp A printer driver for HP LaserJet (trademark of the Hewlett Packard Company) and compatible printers. It translates DVI files, usually generated by TeX, to a code understood by HP- LJ (PCL printer control language). DviHp supports download- ing fonts, which gives you extremely fast output. It allows you to include IFF ILBM files into your documents. Version 1.1, an update to version 1.0 on disk number 892. Binary only, shareware. Author: Ales Pecnik HP4Lsetter HP LaserJet 4L printer setup utility. Allows you to set things like Page Setup, Type Styles, Print Quality, Memory, Copies, Lines/Page, Paper Size, Orientation, Feed, etc. Note: Some items disabled in this unregistered version. Version 2.01, binary only. Author: Quentin Snow VirtPrinters Two new printer drivers. One shows the printer output on a screen and the other saves it as IFF pictures. These drivers emulate a page-mode printer, like a laser printer. They both support color and b&w modes. Color mode uses three bitplanes, while b&w uses only one. Several density settings available, some correspond to the Amiga's aspect ratio, but most are just 1 to 1. Screen_Printer requires a great deal of chip ram at the higher density settings. Both require AmigaDOS 2.04. Includes source. Author: Garrick Meeker New/Text/Contents ----------------- Amiga-FAQ Lists some frequently asked questions and trys to give answers. Its intention is to help new users and to reduce the amount of news that most experienced users don't like to read anymore. Sections on Hardware, Software, Program- ming, Applications, Graphics and more. Formatted in plain ascii, AmigaGuide, DVI, and texinfo. Version dated August 30, 1993. Author: Jochen Wiedmann ARexxAppList The ARexx Application List. A list (plain text) of approx- imately 309 Amiga programs that support ARexx, with brief descriptions of their capabilities. Updates are posted in the USENET newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.applications. Version dated August 18, 1993, update to the version on disk number 754. Author: Daniel J. Barrett Guide2Inet Big Dummy's AmigaGuide to INet, an excellent introduction to the Net. This revised edition corrects some mistakes in the original and adds some additional information. The index to the AmigaGuide version has been extended. Revision 1.1. Author: Electronic Freedom Foundation, AmigaGuide format by Robin Evans New/Util/Contents ----------------- ALock A little hack inspired by an earlier one by Mike Sinz, which appeared on one of the DevCon disks. It's purpose is quite obvious: alock grabs all inputevents and thus protects your Amiga from any unwanted access by the keyboard or the mouse until you enter the correct password. Version 1.1, includes source. Author: Michael Kaiser AmiLock A console lock program which is system friendly. Amilock is a series of programs which demonstrates inter-process comm- unication, as well as the use of interrupt handlers. The interrupt handlers are used to disable/limit keyboard and mouse inputs, thereby allowing the console to be 'frozen'. The mouse can still move, but no mouse clicks are possible. Does not blank the screen, but any blanker can be run in the background and will function properly. Version 1.0.1, includes source. Author: Michael Nielsen InfoWin A simple little program written to use MUI. MUI stands for 'Magical User Interface', an awesome package by Stefan Stuntz. InfoWin keeps track of messages sent to it via its ARexx port. I wrote it to track messages from my Caller ID ARexx script so that I would have an easy way of seeing my new calls. It's not complete yet (ie. it's not as fully featured as I hope to make it eventually) but it is already in use on my system. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Nick MacDonald MagicIcons Standard icons are just so boooring... After installing MagicWB I disliked my old icons even more and I started to fiddle around with the existing material to produce something more in line with the new 'magic' look of my system. And this is the result. Nothing really original, since I just took a set of MagicWB icons, another set of my old icons and stir-fried them using Deluxe Paint. Author: Thomas Baetzler MFRinCED35 Allows the usage of Stefan Stuntz's Magic-File-Requester in CED3.5, which doesn't work with MFR directly (probably out of a change in CED3.5's file-loading-mechanisms). Uses a small program to set the default public screen and Arexx scripts. Requires OS2.0+, version 1.0, includes source. Public Domain Author: Benjamin Lear MouseShift Translates the middle mouse button into the left shift key. This allows easy multiple selection. Note that programs that use the middle mouse button directly will no longer recognize it. MouseShift requires at least AmigaDOS 1.2 to run, but will run as a commodity under AmigaDOS 2.04 or greater. Binary only, public domain. Author: Garrick Meeker NoteIt! Another Post-It) style utility. Can be started by either the CLI, or from the Workbench. Several parameters (or ToolTypes) supported. Requires OS2.x, version 1.3a, binary only. Author: Ryan J. Bruner Quip "The Fortune Cookie Program From Hell", or quite simply, the most flexible fortune cookie program ever created on any platform. It even has its own scripting 'language' (QuipScript). Documentation in both ASCII and Guide formats. Requires OS 2.04+, version 0.07e, includes source in Amiga E. Public domain. Author: Joseph Edwards Van Riper III Recall The ultimate reminder-utility for the absent-minded! Can remind you of events with requsters, alerts or practically anything that can be displayed on an Amiga monitor. Version 1.4, binary only, public domain. Author: Ketil Hunn RunLame A smart degrader, more lame programs work, fixes the follow- ing lame coding: not considering caches; not considering the location of the vbr; assuming screenmode is an old chip- set mode; assuming sprite resolution is lores; turning off sprite DMA in the wrong way. Comes with a GUI and lots of user-friendly features. Also includes RunLameInfiltrator, which enables you to permanently fix lame programs. Version 1.28, has passed an extremely careful beta-testing. Author: Bilbo the first SysInfo A brand new release of this popular program. It reports interesting information about the configuration of your Amiga, including some speed comparisons with other config- urations, versions of the OS software, and much more. Version 3.22, an update to version 3.18 on disk 860. Binary only. Author: Nic Wilson TimeCalc Well, I never found a decent timecode calculator, so here is one that works correctly (For me at any rate) with EBU and SMPTE timecodes (SMPTE DropFrame is not currently supported). It has clever string gadgets that make timecode entry a breeze. Timecode entry routines are part of the "Diamond Edit" package which is a single frame recorder for the PAL environment (soon for NTSC) that is a very powerful and cost effective means of recording hires 24bit animations to video tape for playback at a full frame rate (for professional VTRs only). Version 1.0, binary only, requires OS2.x. Author: Paul Huxham Unpacker An appicon utility for extracting archives. It chooses the archiver to use by the suffix, eg. '.lha', '.zip' or '.zoo'. You can configure UnPacker for any other arc-program you want to use by changing the tooltypes of the icon. Version 1.1, binary only. Author: Erik Sagalara WindowDaemon Gives extended control to intuition windows and screens through HotKeys and Arexx. Features: Commodities Support; HotKey and Arexx support to manipulate the currently active window and screen. Standard window controls are avalable such as Zip, Close, Size, ToFront, ToBack, NextScreen, etc. Able to close the parent window of a drawer when opened on "Workbench" if CONTROL is held down. (Only available under kickstart V39 or higher); Specialized options to forcefully close windows and screens, and also to remove tasks that own the active window. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: David Swasbrook xpkdisk `xpkdisk.device' is an exec-style device that looks like trackdisk.device and similar disks. The difference is that it compresses its data and stores it in multiple files in an existing filesystem. It uses the XPK (eXternal PacKer) standard to do the actual compression. Version 37.2, includes source. Author: Olaf Seibert -- Read all administrative posts before putting your post up. Mailing list: announce-request@cs.ucdavis.edu. Comments to CSAA@megalith.miami.fl.us.
