For a copy: In the U.S. or Canada, send $6 to: The Amigans This includes first class postage. PO Box 411 Overseas, send $7 to: Hatteras, NC 27943 This includes airmail overseas postage. This disk may be freely redistributed, but please keep any ARCed files configured as they are! The contents are: FontRepair Fixes a serious bug in CALLIGRAPHER font files created without another font as a template. Any Amiga will load such font files time after time until out of memory. See article in Vol. III, No. 3 of The Amigan. Blanker2 A VERY small screen blanker. If you have always liked the idea of a screen blanker, but need all the memory you can get, this is the program for you. by Joe Hitchens DiskX Version 2.1 of this Disk Sector Editor is about the best of this genré I have seen for the Amiga. With this release, DiskX automatically scans your device list to see what drives you have on line. by Steve Tibbett DMEMacros A collection of Macros for DME (see Amigan Disk # ??) to aid in program entry in your favorite computer language. (If you like C, ForTran, Modula-2, or Pascal) Plus some extra macros for general use. by Jerry Mack DMouse Yet another Super Utility, this one lacks the clock, but does virtually everything else, in a LOT less space than most of the others out there. by Matt Dillon ParallelResource An example program to show how to use the Amiga parallel port. by Phillip Lindsay, Commodore Amiga PrintSpooler A TRUE background print spooler, that looks a LOT like those found on the VAX, etc. Even down to the style of the error messages. by Small Scale Systems of Southern California PrivilegeHandler For those of us with 68010 CPU's, this file provides a means of booting SOME protected programs that don't like the 68010, by making a DeciGel-like program that will survive re-boot. by John Veldthuis (a fellow Amigan) QMan A "Quick Mandelbrot" program. Good code examples including a couple of routines in Assembler, which is what makes this one "Quick". by Steve Bonner Rokicki This subdirectory contains two others: DFC A diskcopy/format program. Nice! Life An interesting diversion, uses the blitter to make it BLINDINGLY fast! both by Tom Rokicki TinyProlog A Prolog interpreter written in C. Nothing REAL fancy, but if you've ever wanted to try an AI (Artificial Intelligence) language, you can't beat the price on this one. by Bill and Bev Thompson Zoo Version 2.00 of this alternative to ARC. by Rahul Dhesi, Amiga port by J. Brian Waters ZorkLook A program to allow you to examine the text of all those InfoCom games. (Ever wonder how they stored all that text on those small files? Try this and find out!) by Brian Parker -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And by the way... The program LESS is on the root directory of this disk. Instead of TYPE-ing files, LESS them, like so: LESS [ <...>] LESS will pause at the end of each screen page until you press a key (the spacebar is easiest). Also, LESS will allow viewing the previous page and other handy functions. Just LESS a file and look at the title bar for the window.
