CONTENTS SCOPEDISK157 AnsiMaster - V1.0 by James Davis & Joe Rattz, Jr. ANSI Master was designed for the purpose of creating and editing ANSI Messages. If you operate a BBS or use a BBS that supports ANSI codes, ANSI Master is ideal for creating displays and possibly menus if the program will allow ANSI menus. There are a few features we are using that have not yet been seen in other programs. Append - by Oliver Enseling An easier way to join 2 or more files without a lot of clean-up. AmigaDos JOIN does not allow to append one file to another without some roundabout ways. You have to JOIN the two files, delete the old ones and rename the new file. APPEND serves to shorten this procedure. DekIII - V1.11 by Christian Warren. An update to V1.10 on Scopedisk 153 DEKSID is a disk and file HEXADECIMAL editor. It gets useful when you want to edit things other than readable texts. It might look complicated for you beginners, but it's simply because beginners don't see the use of these. DevRename - V1.5 by Stefan Rosewig. Rename any Device, such as DF1: in an A2000 when you have only 1 internal floppy plus external drive(s) you may rename the DF2: as DF1:. Dr - V1.1 by Paul Kienitz. CLI Directory with default setting of not listing .info files. Replaces AmigaDos Dir with a some speed advatages and more options. DSize - by Gregg A. Reno. This command is designed to take an AmigaDOS disk or directory and display it and its sub-directories to the screen. It will also display the disk space used by each directory, including all of the files and directories below it. George - 3 sound files supposed to be George Bush....really? doesn't sound likely. Uses sound file in C directory. HunkFix - V1.4 by Arthur Hagen. The Amiga computer performs what is called "scatter-loading" of all programs that is run. This means that programs most often consists of several small parts that can be loaded anywhere in memory. These smaller parts are referred to as "hunks". The different hunks in a program are joined together with some special information to form a loadable file. Icon2C - V1.2 by Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel. It is easy to read and to write Workbench icon files, but there aren't any tools to turn icons into 'C' source code yet. Icon2C will read any type of icon file and create 'C' source code ready to be used. IP_Device - by Pete Goodeve. A pipe device that can make a bi-directional connection without a buffered connection. "IP:" is a handler that may be mounted in your system like any other AmigaDOS device, to provide you with both standard "pipe" type facilities and a number of features not available elsewhere. JoyLib - by Oliver Wagner. Joystick routine for "any" language. This is a new joystick routine with a special algorithm. There are two versions of the routines: 1) standard ".o" linkage for any language able to call "_joy0/1" and compatible to BLINK format, 2) a shared library (thanks to BLINK) for such nifty things like Modula and all... A .fd for building interfaces to *any* language is provided. LockDevice - V1.0 by Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel. If you have ever accidentally formatted your hard disk drive, you are probably searching for an equivalent to the small black write protect tab used by floppy disks. If locked, FastFileSystem rejects all write requests, but that still is not enough since you can still go directly to the device driver and ask to format a track. 'LockDevice' installs a patch at the device driver level to reject all icoming write and format requests thus reducing the chance of accidentally formatting the hereby protected data media. LPatch - V3.0 by John Toebes. PTCH IFF Format as implemented by LCompare and LPatch programs. The PTCH IFF format provides a standard method of describing patches for arbitrary binary (and of course ASCII) data. The patch format allows for descriptive text to be included as part of the patch as well as checksumming information to ensure the validity of the patch. NoClick - Stop floppy's from clicking when there is no disk in the drive. No docs so suppose it goes in your path and is included in the startup-sequence. Dead hamburgers don't fit drives. TAR - V1.2 "Media File Archiver", stores multiple files in a single archive. Tar provides a way to store many files into a single archive, which can be kept in another file, stored on an I/O device such as tape, floppy, cartridge, or disk, or piped to another program. It is useful for making backup copies, or for packaging up a set of files to move them to another system.
