Meet Disk Contents:

ArtistTools
   o Egad - An Alpha version of a Gadget editor program from
     The Programmers Network.  Requires Workbench v1.2.
   
   o SpriteED - a sprite editor program by Scott Lamb.  This
     one looks fairly complete.

   o 3DWireFrame - a 3d Wire Frame Object Editor which looks
     interesting.  Unfortunately part of the documentation
     was lost - will try to get the full documentation on the
     next disk.

Gadgets
   o PopColours - Lets you change the Workbench screen colours
     without going through preferences.  By Chris Zamara and
     Nick Sullivan. Source included.

CLI
   o DOSHelper - Version 1.60 of an online documentation
     program to help you learn all of the Command Line
     Interface Commands (CLI).  Program by John Youells
     who asks for a $10 donation if you use the program.
     Source is included.

DiskTools
   o Browser - A friendly file browser by Bob Leivian who 
     updated an earlier version on fish disk 18.  This
     has a file requester that allows you to select the
     file or directory you want from a menu.  With the
     scroll bar you can move directly to any part of the
     viewed file. 

Recreations
   o CSquared - A version of the Circle Squared algorithm
     from the September 1986 Scientific American.  Similar
     to Charlie Gibbs AmigaBasic version, but in C.  By 
     Bill DuPree who includes the source code.

   o 3DStars - Wan't to see Warp 2 on the Amiga?  Leo
     Schwab donates this program and the source code as
     well.  Different effects are available if you run this
     from the CLI.
 
   o 3DBreakOut - Plays "Pong" in 3d if you have 3d glasses.

   o Sproing - You guessed it - another version of bouncing
     balls.  Turn up your volume for this one.

   o RayTracing - A few more ray tracing pictures from Dave
     Wecker.  I modified Bill Hennings program so you can
     view the pictures from WorkBench. 

A Merry Christmas to you all, and see you next year.
