DISK NUMBER 53
--------------
 
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
 
DISK NUMBER 52
--------------
 
Assign		Replacement for AmigaDOS assign command, written in C.
		Author:  Charles McManis
 
Fractal		A fractal program which produces a random square
		fractal terrain.
		Author:  John Olsen
 
HAMpoly		A polygon drawing demo which uses HAM mode to produce
		polygons of any of the possible 4096 colors.
		Author:  John Olsen
 
MxGads		Demonstrates how to make mutual exclusion of boolean
		gadgets work, even if they contain GadgetText.
		Author:  Willy Langeveld
 
Poly		A polygon drawing demo using the AreaMove, AreaDraw, and
		AreaEnd functions.
		Author:  John Olsen
 
Tek4010		A Tek 4010 emulator.
		Author:  Terry Whelan, with changes by Steve Poling
 
Vdraw1.16	Shareware drawing program submitted by the author.
		This version uses menus but includes some items not
		in version 1.19, also on this disk.
		Author:  Stephen Vermeulen
 
Vdraw1.19	Latest version of Vdraw, with a completely new iconic
		user interface, and some other new features including
		a color palette mixer and DPaint style brushes, extended
		cutting features, area locking, and a flexible printing
		interface.
		Author:  Stephen Vermeulen
 
DISK NUMBER 51
--------------
 
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.
		These differences can be fed to ssed (a stream type
		editor), along with the original text file, to remotely
		reproduce the other (new) file.  Binary only.
		Author:  Chuck Forsberg, Amiga port by Rich Schaeffer
 
Sq.Usq		Portable versions of the CPM sq and usq utilities.
		Author:  R. Greenlaw, many changes by Bill Swan
 
DISK NUMBER 50
--------------
 
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.
 
Asm		A shareware macro assembler, submitted by the author.
		Asm is a 68010 macro assembler that is compatible with
		the assembler described in the AmigaDOS manual.  This is
		version 1.1, an update to the version on disk number 46,
		and includes bug fixes, additional standard Motorola
		mnemonics and a simple startup code module.
		Author:  Douglas Leavitt
 
BreakOut	A 3-D game.  Requires 3-D glasses.
		Author:  Tim Kemp
 
DiskZap		Program to "edit" a disk, sector by sector.  Version 1.1.
		Author:  Paris Bingham Jr.
 
FirstSiliCon	A smart input line interpreter that provides a separate
		command window with full editing and recall of previous
		commands.  Actual name is "Sili(Con:)".
		Author:  Pete Goodeve
 
Missile		A nice "missile defense" game.  Written 100% in
		assembler (source available from author) and is very fast!
		Author:  Glen Merriman
 
PerfectSound	PerfectSound demo, with a sound editor and sample sound
		files.  Looks very nice.
		Author:  Anthony Wood
 
Sizzlers	Graphics demo programs.
		Author:  Greg Epley

		Has user settable cursor, programmable function keys,
		vt-102 emulation, auto-dialing, loadable settings files,
		and more.
		Author:  Dave Warker
 
DISK NUMBER 49
--------------
 
Cycloids	An updated version of the hypocycloids (electronic
		spirograph) program first released on disk number 27.
		Author:  Terry Gintz
 
DirUtil		An enhanced version of the dirutil from disk number 35.
		Dirutil is a program to wander around a directory tree
		and perform various operations on files.  See README file
		for list of new features.
		Author:  Chris Nicotra, enhancements by Johan Widen
 
Multidef	A program to scan a collection of object and library
		files and identify multiply defined symbols.  This is
		useful to locate subtle problems where user defined
		symbols override library symbols.
		Author: Paul Jatkowski
 
MyUpdate	A disk update utility that also provides support for
		automatically stripping comments from C header files
		and for interactive verification on a per file basis.
		Author:  Joe Mueller
 
Plot		Program to compute and plot 3 dimensional functions.
		Includes hi-res interlace mode for maximum detail.
		Author:  Unknown; Amiga version by Terry Gintz
 
Polygon		A moire type pattern generator but with color cycling.
		Author:  Terry Gintz
 
QMouse		A program to query the status of the left mouse button
		and return a status code.  The return code can be used
		as a WARN condition in a CLI execute file to alter 
		execution.  Also includes a separate program to toggle
		interlace on and off.  Both are written in assembler and
		are very small.
		Author:  Robert Rethemeyer
 
Touch		A simple command to set the date of a file to the
		current date.  Uses new supported method of setting
		a file datestamp (rather than reading and writing
		back a byte).
		Author:  Phil Lindsay and Andy Finkel
 
Trees		Another "tree growing" program, similar to the one
		on disk number 31, but more extensive.
		Author:  Unknown; Amiga version by Terry Gintz
 
 
DISK NUMBER 48
--------------
 
Bru		Alpha 1 version of a hard disk and/or file archiver
		written for Unix.  This is a vanilla port, with very
		little Amiga smarts, but it is usable.  This is also
		the last freely redistributable version.
		Author:  Fred Fish
 
Comm		A vt100 like terminal emulator with built in support
		for key functions and a phone number database.
		Version 1.30.
		Author:  DJ James
 
Csh2.04		Version 2.04 of Matt's csh-like shell.  Includes source.
		Author:  Matt Dillon
 
Csh2.04M	Version 2.04 of Matt's csh-like shell, heavily modified
		for Manx C.  Includes source.

Diskperf	A disk benchmark program which runs on both Unix and the
		Amiga.
		Author:  Rick Spanbauer
 
Du		Computes disk usage of a file or directory (including
		subdirectories).  Very handy.
		Author:  Joe Mueller
 
MemWatch	Memwatch is a program intended to sit in the background
		and watch for random trashing of low memory by an
		application under development.  If it detects a write
		to low memory, it repairs it to what used to be there,
		then puts up a requester indicating what damage had been
		done.  Very useful!
		Author:  John Toebes
 
Profiler	A realtime execution profiler for Manx 3.30E.  Using this
		you can identify what sections of your program are using
		the most time, or being executed the most, and optimize
		as appropriate.  I was able to double the speed of some
		programs by using this tool.  Includes source.
		Author:  Tomas Rokicki
 
 
DISK NUMBER 47
--------------
 
3D-Arm		The first stage of a larger project to study goal
		directed animation of articulated objects (objects
		which can move with various degrees of freedom but are
		constrained by attachment to other links within the
		object).  This program demonstrates goal directed
		animation with a simulated 3-dimensional robot arm.
		Includes source.
		Author:  Bob Laughlin
 
Juggler		Stunning animation of a robot juggler with ray
		traced reflective spheres.  Uses HAM mode display
		and sound effects to boot!
		Author:  Eric Graham
