Things have been a little slow this past few weeks on the networks, but there are a few gems here of such quality that the quantity doesn't really matter. One of the most important programs on the disk is a little utility called POPCLI. Written by many people, including John Toebes, (he did the Hack port to Amiga) it is important because it not only offers an excellent facility, but also serves to show just what is possible in theis type of program. There are two programs from our own members (more may be on here by the time it is distributed). There is even source code for a new (to the Amiga) language. I put this on here because I would like to see it running on the Amiga, and because there is room this time for something worthwhile, but untested. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATERM (dir) Here is the latest in the Aterm series. Extensively modified by Panorama member Jeff Lydiatt, it has now been split into logical modules for ease of making changes and future upgrades. It now has a clock that runs as a separate process, and that may be used from another program. See "aterm.mods" for modification history.

Mr. Spock saying (singing?) the word "logic". Logic logicnote ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOOLS (dir) DIRS is the source code for a directory "walker" designed to get an entire directory from a disk. CCHECK is a C syntax checker. It isn't very thorough, but does point out some of the more common errors. DIRS (dir) PrintAll.c PrintIt.c pwd.c ccheck ccheck.c ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TEXT (dir) amiga-st AmiSoft ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- UTIL (dir) Here it is, POPCLI. A wonderful little utility that should be on EVERY disk you regularly boot from. Read the documentation file for complete instructions. Costimer is one of those little utilities that we always wish were part of a terminal program. Usage is: COSTIMER n, Where n is the cost of using a network such as The Source or Compuserve on a per minute basis. It will display a clock and the current charges incurred since it was started. Secmap will show you where those files are being saved on the disk, in graphic form. Pause is an update of one of my earlier programs of the same name. Read the documentation file for full instructions.

This is the one that uses the TI THCT4502A DRAM controller. twomegnew ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRINTERDRIVERS (dir) These have been provided due to popular demand, and come from Amicus #9 disk.

Perhaps the executable version will be in here by the time it is distributed. stars.asm stin.asm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PILOT (dir) PILOT is a language ideally suited for educational text presentation, asking questions and accepting and acting upon answers. This is from the Computer Language Magazine forum on Compuserve, and was described in the (I think) June 1986 issue. It has not been compiled or tested on the Amiga, but should be a worthwhile addition. PILOT.BNF describes the language in detail. The example program will give you the "flavour" of it, as well as providing an extensive test of all PILOT functions. PILOT.BNF PILOT.C PILOT.TST PILOT1.C PILOT2.C PILOT3.C PILOT4.C PILOT5.C
