The only difference is that Exchange has a graph- ical user interface while CLIExchange has been designed to be called from CLI so it can be used within scripts, menus, docks or hotkeys. You need at least 2.04 system release. C source included. Author: Gakl Marziou DieserZug A nicely done WorkBench "Worms" type game, where the object is to gobble up pieces making yourself longer and longer, while avoiding running into the walls or your "tail". Features 3 different speeds, high score list, pause and help keys. Version 1.2a, binary only. Author: Juha Vehvildinen ITF Amiga port of ITF4.01. ITF stands for "Infocom Task Force". There have been several ports of Infocom interpreters to the Amiga, but none of this program. The interpreter supports v1, v2, v3 (Zork1 to Stationfall), v4 (Trinity, Bureaucracy, etc.) and v5 (Sherlock, Beyond Zork etc.) games. This is more than any other freely distributable interpreter. With this interpreter you can play ALL the games in the LTOI2 package for the IBM PC, by copying the datafiles with Cross- DOS or similar, then just running this interpreter. Re- quires OS 2.0+. Binary only. Author: InfoTaskForce, amiga port by David Kinder PCal Creates a very nice looking postscript calendar. By default, PCal simply prints an empty calendar. Its real power is in its ability to place ``events'' in appropriate days on the calendar, thus allowing the user to create personalized calendars. This is achieved through the use of a "calendar.dat" file that has extraordinary flexibility. Author: Patrick Wood, Joe Brownlee, Andy Fyfe, et al. ========================== Contents of Disk 976 ========================== Replex REPLace EXecutable. This handy patch substitutes program names that are about to be executed, e.g. if an icon default tool specifies ":c/MuchMore" and you prefer to use "c:TextRead", you can have it defined as such. You won't have to change the icon. This version also has a "catch" option to automatically ask for a substitute if a tool wasn't found. Replex has a font sensitive intuition inter- face, a snapshot option and an unlimited number of defini- tions, but requires AmigaDOS v2.04 or later. This is version 2.0, an update to version 1.0 on disk number 791. Binary only, shareware. Author: ASWare, by Ekke Verheul UChess A powerful version of the program GnuChess version 4 for the Amiga.

Version 38.02, requires AmigaDOS2.1 or later. Binary only, freeware. Author: Camiel Rouweler Man A simple MAN command, known from UNIX systems. The advan- tage is, that it recognizes .guide files to be AmigaGuide) documents. MAN then uses a different viewer in order to display the AmigaGuide document. Furthermore MAN recog- nizes TeX-DVI files as well, using a different viewer to display them. You may configure MAN using environment variables. Version 1.11a, public domain, includes source. Author: Kai Iske MiserPrint A print utility that puts up to 8 normal pages of text on one sheet of paper. You are able to save paper and time.

Requires Kickstart 2.0, but is not a commodity. Only 3K. Version 2.90, an update to version 2.30 on disk 802. Public domain, assembly source included. Author: Dan Babcock SnoopLibs A clever tool for developers and others with a more-than- usual interest in the functioning of tasks, to patch and monitor any library-function-call from a certain task. The output-formats can be changed and the results can be printed to a window, a file or printer. Only for Kickstart v37(+). Includes six ".sl" files (library data) and a tool (fd2sl + source) to add more. Comes with an AmigaGuide manual. This is version 0.9, first public release. Author: ASWare, by Ekke Verheul & Dirk Reisig StartWindow Configurable WorkBench "launch-program" type utility. Opens a zipwindow that when activated, presents the user with a listwindow of pre-configured commands. Ideal for those commands used infrequently enough that you don't want a dock-icon cluttering up your WorkBench for. Includes source for both English and German versions. Author: Heinz Reinert SuperDuper An exciting, high-speed disk copier and formatter. Typical timings are 99s for a disk-to-disk verified copy, or 38s for a four disk non-verified format. Also available are buffer- ing in RAM, on a hard disk image file or on any sector- based Amiga device, like RAD:, VDO:, FMS:, etc. Real-time compression using the Xpk standard allows to copy in one pass most disks on 1M Amigas, especially in conjunction with a special utility which "hides" external drives to the system (but not to SuperDuper). Bells and whistles include high density floppy support, voice, automatic date incre- ment, a list of the disks copied, and automatic start of operations based on disk insertion/ejection sensing. Works on any Amiga under 2.0 and beyond. The changes from version 3.0 are mainly bug fixes and some new features, namely optional simple refresh windows, the new NoStartup switch, automatic source disk reads, and better window management. Version 3.1, an update to version 3.0 on disk number 903. Binary only, freeware. Author: Sebastiano Vigna ========================== Contents of Disk 980 ========================== APipe The `APipe-Handler' allows you to add the `APIPE:' DOS device to your system. This device acts as a pipe between two programs, but in a different manner than the standard `PIPE:' device does. This handler interprets the text after the `APIPE:' prefix as a command line to execute, and the process/command which opens the file indicated by the mention of `APIPE:' can now read the standard output or write the standard input of the program indicated by the command line depending on whether the `APIPE:' file was opened for reading or writing, respectively. Thus, the opening an `APIPE:' file is analogous to the UNIX `popen()' call, but it is more widely available to the user. Complete source is included and can be used as an example of a handler. Version 37.5, an update to version 37.4 on disk number 783. Author: Per Bojsen HWGRCS A 3 part distribution of an RCS 5.6.0.1 port to the Amiga, currently at patch level 8. Part 1 contains the binaries and documentation in AmigaGuide and "man" format, part 2 contains the source code to RCS, and part 3 contains the source code and binaries for patch and diffutils. The Revision Control System (RCS) manages multiple revisions of text files. RCS automates the storing, retrieval, logging, identification, and merging of revisions. RCS is useful for text that is revised frequently, for example: programs, doc- umentation, graphics, papers, form letters, etc. Included are RCS 5.6, GNU diffutils 2.6 and an LP utility to support paged diff outputs. Part 1 on disk 980, part 2 is on disk 981, and part 3 is on disk 982. Author: Walter Tichy, Paul Eggert, Heinz Wrobel ========================== Contents of Disk 981 ========================== BootUte A utility to enable more older software work on the Amiga 1200 and 4000 series, It is also useful for users with accelerators.

Author: Daniel Amor ConPaste ConPaste is a 2.0 commodity that allows you to paste clipped text into anything. Paste into string gadgets. Paste into any text application. In this new version, ConPaste drops its priority by 1 when pasting text to allow sufficient processor time for the receiving task or window to process the text. When you press a user-defined key or key combina- tion, ConPaste will take any FTXT found in clipboard unit 0, convert the text back into input events, and send the input events into the input stream. The output will go to the active window or string gadget. This is version 37.25, an update to the version distributed with ClipWindow by Jim Harvey, on disk 935. Author: Carolyn Scheppner HuntWindows Starting with 2.0 you can make screens bigger than the visual size of your monitor. On a double-size workbench, catching windows like requesters etc. can be quite annoying at times. This little utility hangs itself on the VBI (Vertical Blank Interrupt) to find out which window is being activated and moves the screen to show the window in full view. Version 3.3, an update to version 1.4 on disk number 774. Includes source in assembler.

Version 1.0, includes source in assembly. Author: Douglas Nelson Imploder The Imploder allows you to reduce the size of executable files while having them retain their full functionality. There are other "crunchers" or "packers" available for the Amiga, but none are as mindful of the complexities of your Amiga system as the Imploder. In addition to this, its algorithms are more efficient, both in terms of speed, and size reduction. Version 4.0, binary only. Author: Albert-Jan Brouwer, Peter Struijk, Erwin Zwart, Paul van der Valk TWA A commodity that remembers the last active window on any screen. If screens are shuffled, the window is automatic- ally re-activated when that screen is brought to front. Version 1.4, an update to version 1.2 on disk number 874.
