Author: Jonathan Potter >>> FISH 584 DataPlot DataPlot is a very special function "plotter". It does not really plot the data, but it creates a ".dat" file containing the function which you typed in and the corresponding values that have been calculated. The ".dat" file can then be read in by "MultiPlot" (from AmigaLibDisk 467), so that you can mani- pulate the data with much more powerful functions than most normal function plotter programs offer.

You can drag file or drawer icons onto the Black Hole and you will then be asked if you really want to delete the items. Version 1.0, binary only. Author: Parsec Soft Systems Contour4D Creates colored, altitude mapped objects for Sculpt 4D. Two IFF brushes are used; one to supply the color for the object and a second which, by its color intensity, gives an altitude for the object at that point. Objects are optimised so that large areas of one color and height become a single larger set of faces. Objects are output in Sculpt '.scene' format. Works with ordinary, HAM or Extra-Halfbrite brushes. Any palette colors can be omitted from conversion and all palette colors can be of different textures. Full Intuition interface.

It includes full step-by-step documentation, as well as schematics, and diagrams. This is revision 3.1. Author: Neil Coito and Michael Cianflone >>> FISH 588 FifoLib FIFO: is like PIPE: but is based on fifo.library rather than its own implementation. Fifo.library is a general fifo library implementation that supports named fifos, writing to a fifo from a hardware exception, multiple readers on a fifo with each getting the same data stream, efficient reading, and automatic or manual flow control. Programs that require non-blocking IO can access one side of a FIFO: connection via the fifo.library instead of the FIFO: device. Version 3.4, an update to version 3.1 on disk 519. Includes some source. Author: Matt Dillon FracBlank A commodities screen blanker written for AmigaOS release 2.x. When running will blank the screen and start to draw real plane fractals such as described in the September 1986 issue of Scientific American. The resulting images may remind you of spiders' webs, lace or even the Chladnian patterns formed by grains of sand strewn across a vibrating surface. This is version 1.8, an update to version 1.4 on disk 535, and includes numerous bug fixes and enhancements (such as multicolor mode). Includes source in `C' and assembly language. Author: Olaf `Olsen' Barthel MandelSquare Yet another program to generate images from the Mandelbrot set, different from most implementations in that it runs only under AmigaOS 2.x, requires an '020/'030/'040 CPU and a numerical coprocessor. The calculation routines were written in '881 assembly language for maximum speed and precision. Also included is a `movie mode' which allows generation of long camera zooms to spots in the Mandelbrot set. The resulting animations can be saved in ANIM-opt-5 format, allowing to replay them using `MandelSquare' or standard animation software. Version 1.3, includes source in `C' and assembly language. Author: Olaf `Olsen' Barthel >>> FISH 589 Term A gift-ware telecommunications program written for AmigaOS release 2.x (Kickstart 37.175 and Workbench 37.67 or higher required). Features include total configurability, full ARexx control, Xpr-transfer support, filetype-identification after download, cut & paste/point-and-click on screen, auto upload and download, scrollable review buffer of unlimited size, solid and fully-featured VT100/VT220/ANSI emulation, optional fast atomic terminal emulation, hotkey support, powerful phonebook and dialing functions, ability to save and print the contents of the screen as IFF-ILBM or ASCII file, full overscan and screen resolution support (new ECS screen modes included), asynchronous operation and a lot more. Comes with seven Xpr-transfer libraries (ascii, jmodem, kermit, quickb, xmodem, ymodem & zmodem) and documentation both in German and in English. This is version 1.9c, an update to version 1.8a on disk 534. Includes full source in `C' and assembly language. Author: Olaf `Olsen' Barthel >>> FISH 590 Crystals A computer simulation of three-dimensional crystal lattices which permit you to observe stereoscopic views of any of the fourteen Bravais lattices with a variety of orientations, while rotating and posititioning them in real time. The frame rate is between 10 and 30 frames per second, depending upon the options selected and the Amiga being used. It is primarily intended for educators and students in physics, chemistry, and geology. It is most suitable for use in con- junction with a course in solid state physics, or a course in crystallography. Version 2.15, shareware, binary only. Author: David McKinstry EquiLog A Master-Mind type game. Version 1.36, binary only. Author: Pierre-Louis Mangeard MICE My Image Code Editor. MICE generates source code from stan- dard IFF pictures.

Intuition interface supports AmigaDOS and unix-like wildcards. Several operations can be performed on found files. Version 1.2, shareware, binary only. Author: Donald Lloyd SuperDuper A very fast disk copier and formatter. Can make up to four unverified copies from a ram buffer in 36 seconds. Verified copies from a ram buffer take 67 seconds for one destination drive, plus 34 seconds for each additional destination. This is version 2.01, an update to version 2.0 on disk 561. Now includes a program to fine tune some fields in the trackdisk device, and a "no click" type program. Binary only.
