============================== Fred Fish #53 ============================= This is disk 53 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Animations Some animations made with Aegis Animator. Includes a player program. Author: Aegis Development ARCre Creates rename scripts so that files with long names can be easily archived and dearchived correctly by "arc". Author: John Hoffman Arp Some preliminary programs from a program started on BIX by Charlie Heath to replace all the BCPL AmigaDOS programs with assembly equivalents. Includes "break", "cd", "chmod", "echo", "filenote", and "makedir". Author: Charlie Heath and Scott Ballantyne Compiler An optimizing C compiler for the 68000. Has successfully compiled itself on a 68000 based Unix system V machine, but has yet to be fully ported to the Amiga. It will currently produce assembly output for simple C routines on the Amiga, but needs lots of work to be really useful as anything other than a learning tool for budding compiler guru's. Author: Matthew Brandt SpreadSheet A simple "Visicalc-like" spread sheet calculator. Also known as "vc" but there is currently a debate about whether or not that name is a registered trademark. The version on disk number 36 was based on an earlier version of the same source. This release also includes source code. Author: James Gosling, Mark Weiser, and Bob Bond Amiga port by Dave Wecker TarSplit A port of the OS/9 program that extracts files from Unix tar archives. Author: James Jones. Amiga version by Mike Meyer. UUencode Programs to encode/decode binary files for transmittal via mail or other text-only methods. The binary file is expanded by approximately 35% for transmittal. This release is an update to the version on disk number 38, and includes a simple line-by-line checksum technique that can read and write files compatible with the older uuencode/uudecode. Author: Mark Horton with mods by Alan Rosenthal ============================== Fred Fish #52 ============================= This is disk 52 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.

Bison A replacement for unix "yacc" command. This is from the GNU (GNU is Not Unix) effort, and was obtained from the Free Software Foundation. This is a working update to the version on disk number 4, provided by Johan Widen. Author: Bob Corbett and Richard Stallman Compress This is an update to the compress version released on disk number 6. It is tested and seems to work well except for a couple glitches noticed at the last minute (see the README file). 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. Author: Thomas Spencer, with improvements by others Cos A "Wheel Of Fortune" style game in AmigaBasic. Author: Steve Michel DifSsed Dif produces a difference file which lists the line by line differences between any two text files.

Greenlaw, many changes by Bill Swan ============================== Fred Fish #50 ============================== This is disk 50 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Note that many of the programs on this disk are shareware/freeware. This means that if you find them useful, you are morally obligated to send a small donation to the author to help support his efforts and fund further development. I hope that by including them in this library I have furthered the author's goals of widest possible distribution and thus maximum return. Also note (for those that like to split hairs) that I am distributing this disk as a "freebee". To receive a copy, just request it when ordering any other disks from the library.

Author: Rich Salz and Fred Fish ============================== Fred Fish #42 ============================= This is disk 42 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. To quote the "Read Me First" file: This diskette contains the Amiga version of MicroGNUEmacs (MG), a small but powerful text editor that runs on many other computer systems besides the Amiga. 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. Beyond the work of Dave Conroy, author of the original public domain v30, this contains the efforts of: mwm@ucbopal.berkeley.edu Mike Meyer mic@ngp.utexas.edu Mic Kaczmarczik blarson@usc-oberon.arpa Bob Larson rtech!daveb@sun.com Dave Brower A very nice job guys! Congratulations. This disk is essentially unchanged except that I have added the usual README.dist and README.list files, along with changing the volume name to AmigaLibDisk42.

Author: Andy Finkel ============================== Fred Fish #37 ============================== This is disk 37 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 ============================== Fred Fish #36 ============================== This is disk 36 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.

Note that the programs on this disk are all shareware/freeware. This means that if you find them useful, you are morally obligated to send a small donation to the author to help support his efforts and fund further development. I hope that by including them in this library I have furthered the author's goals of widest possible distribution and thus maximum return. Also note (for those that like to split hairs) that I am distributing this disk as a "freebee". To receive a copy, just request it when ordering any other disks from the library.
