Useful example of "raw" disk read/write. Author Rob Peck 12/1/85 ========================================================================= ============================= README.list6 ============================== This is disk 6 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. compress Compress reduces the size of the named files using adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding. The amount of compression obtained depends on the size of the input, the number of bits per code, and the distribution of common substrings. Typically, text such as source code or English is reduced by 50-60%. Compression is generally much better then that achieved by Huffman coding (as used in "pack") or adaptive Huffman coding (as used in "compact"), and takes less time to compute. Great for saving disk space, or reducing transmission time over phone lines! Also includes "btoa" and "atob" for converting binary files to ascii, and then back to binary (for transmission over links that do not support 8 bits). Author: Thomas Spencer, with improvements by others dadc A digital computer impersonating an analog clock impersonating a digital clock. Author: Perry S. Kivolowitz microemacs An upgraded version of microemacs originally distributed on disk number 2. I don't have an exact list of changes but the new executable is about 25% larger, so there must be something in there! One enhancement is that some functions are now also bound to function keys. Author: Dave Conroy, with enhancements by Jack Roose. PAGE 7 mult Mult reads the input comparing adjacent lines. In the normal case, the second and succeeding copies of repeated lines are output, and the remainder of the lines are removed. Repeated lines must be adjacent in order to be found. Options are present to output the first of multiple lines, for comparing adjacent lines by field only, and for specifying the field separator character. Kind of the opposite of the Unix "uniq" program. Author: Dennis Bednar scales Demonstrates use of the Audio functions in the ROM to produce four voice sound. It uses a simple waveform (sawtooth) with no amplitude control (ie, envelope) or frequency variation (ie, vibrato), but these can be easily implemented. Also includes considerable documentation on audio device. Author: Steven A. Bennett setparallel Allows the CLI user to dynamically change any particular parallel port parameter. Author: Keith Stobie and Tom Pohorsky setserial Allows the CLI user to dynamically change any particular serial port parameter. Author: Keith Stobie and Tom Pohorsky sortc A quicksort based sort program, using separate driver and sort modules. Originally from a DECUS C distribution. Claims to be fast, but when operating entirely out of ram takes 93 seconds to sort its input file, sort.c, while AmigaDos's sort takes only 43 seconds under the same conditions. Author: Dave Conroy, Martin Minow, and Ray Van Tassle stripc Strips comments and extraneous whitespace from C source files. Useful for compacting the C header files to increase usable disk space.

Some are rated R. ========================================================================= PAGE 10 ============================ README.list12 ============================== This is disk 12 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Note that this disk contains a number of programs apparently available only in executable form. I am not real happy with this trend, but had no way of getting in contact with the authors who posted these programs to various BBS's to request source. I have no reason to believe that any of these executable only postings contain any deliberate "misfeatures", but you should always use such programs cautiously. amiga3d Shows a rotating 3 dimensional solid "Amiga sign". No source available, executable only (downloaded from a Denver BBS) Author: Barry (bart) Whitebook of C-A ArgoTerm Yet another terminal emulator program.

Enjoy -Fred ========================================================================= ============================ README.list22 ============================== This is disk 22 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. This disk contains two new "strains" of microemacs, both derived from early releases of Dave Conroy's microemacs. There is currently an attempt on usenet, lead by Dave Brower, to coordinate an effort to merge features from the different versions into a single supported microemacs. In the meantime, perhaps you can find a feature you need in one of these... Lemacs Microemacs version 3.6 as enhanced and supported by Daniel Lawrence. This version works and has been tested on Unix V7, BSD 4.2, Amiga, MS-DOS, and VMS. Enhancements include overwrite mode, support for Amiga function keys, reverse video status line, numeric arguments using , replace, buffer specific editing modes, word wrap mode, goto-line, buffer rename, insert-file, execute named command, describe bindings, startup files, and more. Author: Dave Conroy, enhancements by Daniel Lawrence Pemacs Microemacs as enhanced by Andy Poggio. New features include use of keys as Meta keys, default buffers on buffer switch, mouse support, higher priority to improve interactive response, creation of backup files, paragraph fill, word wrap, query replace, and support for function keys. Author: Dave Conroy, enhancements by Daniel Lawrence ========================================================================= PAGE 17 ============================ README.list23 ============================== This is disk 23 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. This disk contains a significantly enhanced version of microemacs based on the version 30 release posted to usenet's mod.sources newsgroup. Previous versions of microemacs released on these disks derived from a very old version of microemacs. Since that old release, the author has cleaned up lots of loose ends and restructured major parts of the code. Other people have already added support for termcap, ports to other machines and operating systems, and a limited GNU emacs compatibility option. Because recipients of this disk might wish to run this new microemacs on other machines in addition to the Amiga, I have encluded all sources that were available to me at the time of release. The subdirectories which give alternate implementations are: Sys/Vms System modules for VAX VMS Sys/Atari System modules for Atari ST Sys/Msdos System modules for MSDOS Sys/Cpm86 System modules for Cpm Sys/Amiga System modules for Amiga Sys/Ultrix System modules for Ultrix/BSD4.2 Sys/SysV System modules for Unix System V Tty/Atari Terminal driver for Atari ST Tty/7300 Terminal driver for AT&T Unix PC (7300) Tty/Intuition Terminal driver for Amiga using Intuition Tty/Termcap Terminal driver using termcap for Unix Tty/Ansi Terminal driver using Ansi codes Tty/Amigados Terminal driver for Amiga using just Amigados Tty/Heath Terminal driver for a Heath terminal There currently is a major effort underway on usenet, led by Dave Brower, to standardize microemacs and bring the many variations under one common implementation. Please send any enhancements to rtech!daveb, or send them to me and I will see that he gets them. ========================================================================= ============================ README.list24 ============================== This is disk 24 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.

It is port of Timothy Budd's Little Smalltalk system, done by Bill Kinnersley at Washington State University. The disk is unchanged except for the following: (1) I have added this file, README.list37. (2) I have added the standard distribution info file, README.dist. (3) In order to make room for the above two files (the disk only had 2 free blocks) I filtered all the text files in the sources, docs, and examples directories through a program to remove extraneous CR (^M) characters from the end of each line. This also makes the files conform to standard Amiga and Unix line delimiter conventions. I hope this didn't break anything else in the process... (4) I have added the file sources/Makefile to help people who want to recompile the sources. It uses my cc frontend. I was able to compile and link an executable that was almost the same size as the one Bill provided (100 bytes smaller) using Manx 3.20B in 16-bit int mode, but it aborted immediately with an error message, so beware. -Fred ========================================================================= ============================ README.list38 ============================== This is disk 38 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.

One of MG's major goals is to be compatible with its cousin GNU Emacs, so certain features you may have seen in other versions of MicroEmacs may work differently here, or not exist. Hopefully, you'll find the added features MG provides to be worth the trouble it takes to make the switch. From the "Read Me Second" file: This is the fourth Beta distribution of MicroGnuEmacs.

Author: DJ James Csh2.04 Version 2.04 of Matt's csh-like shell. Includes source. Author: Matt Dillon Csh2.04M Version 2.04 of Matt's csh-like shell, heavily modified for Manx C. Includes source. Author: Matt Dillon, Manx version by Steve Drew Diskperf A disk benchmark program which runs on both Unix and the Amiga. Author: Rick Spanbauer Du Computes disk usage of a file or directory (including subdirectories). Very handy. Author: Joe Mueller MemWatch Memwatch is a program intended to sit in the background and watch for random trashing of low memory by an application under development. If it detects a write to low memory, it repairs it to what used to be there, then puts up a requester indicating what damage had been done. Very useful! Author: John Toebes PAGE 36 Profiler A realtime execution profiler for Manx 3.30E. Using this you can identify what sections of your program are using the most time, or being executed the most, and optimize as appropriate. I was able to double the speed of some programs by using this tool. Includes source.
