It's time for another batch of disks.  If you sent me material since
the last batch of disks, and it does not show up here, don't despair
yet since I have about 8 more disks nearing completion.  I just
didn't want to hold these up any longer.  The next batch should
appear in a couple weeks.
 
Please note my change of address effective the first of this year:
 
	Fred Fish
	1835 East Belmont Drive
	Tempe, Arizona  85284
	USA
 
Anything sent to me at the old address will be delayed from 1-5
days.

		Author:  Tim Kemp
 
Tetrix		A addictive game of speed, skill and luck.  Based on a game
		originally called Tetris.  The object is to fit together
		oddly grouped falling blocks to create a solid wall, which
		is then cleared from the bottom up.  Sounds simple enough
		right?  Sure ...!  Shareware, Version 1.1, Binary only.

Iff2Sun		A small utility for those of you who may have access to a

CONTENTS OF DISK 176
--------------------
 
	This is disk 176 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
	This disk contains version V23-2A of Glenn Everhart's large and powerful
	spreadsheet program called AnalytiCalc, submitted to me directly by
	Glenn for inclusion in the library as an update to the version released
	on disk 144. AnalytiCalc is presented in entirely ZOOed form because it
	could not otherwise fit on a single disk. Because the auxiliary
	utilities were presented on disk 144, they are not repeated here.
 
	The ZOO utility is used due to the lack of controversy over the
	format. The public domain BOOZ program is provided to extract the
	contents of the ZOO archives provided.
 
	With this release, AnalytiCalc has become "Freeware" rather than
	"Shareware".  Thus the only restrictions on AnalytiCalc code are
	that derivative programs remain freely distributable.
 
	HyperNet
	--------
 
	HyperNet is a small hypertext shell program for Amiga, presented
	with sources and brief documents. It was also submitted by Glenn
	Everhart, the author.
 
	HyperNet allows a "master" AmigaDos process to control a series of
	connected processes, where the connections are randomly ordered directed
	graphs. Permissible "child" processes available at any stage are
	governed by the links of the graph. The implementation is mainly
	instructive, but can be used for tutorials or demonstrations and
	illustrates the simplicity of hypertext concepts on a multi-tasking
	system.
 
CONTENTS OF DISK 177
--------------------
 
ASpice		A version of the SPICE 2G.6 circuit analysis program
		which has been modified to run in the Amiga environment.
		The program arrays are adjusted to require one forth the
		memory of the DEC VAX version.  Although this does not
		usually put much of a constraint on circuit analysis,
		some users who are used to the full mainframe environment
		may have to be more aware of the memory demands of their
		analysis.  Requires a minimum  of 1.5 MB memory.  This
		version neither supports nor requires the 68020 processor
		or 68881 coprocessor.  Binary only.
		Authors:  Many, see Documentation
 
DiskSalv	Version 1.32 of the popular "undelete" and file recovery
		program.  Fixes a few bugs apparently found on the version
		1.3 release on disk number 164.
		Author:  Dave Haynie
 
Jask		An intuition-based replacement for the ASK command.  Will
		bring up a requester with a message and boolean yes/no
		type gadgets.  Version 1.0, includes source.
		Author:  John Barshinger
 
Marge		A simple CLI utility to add a specified number of spaces or
		tabs to the left side of every line in a file.  Includes
		source.
		Author:  Joel Swank
 
Path		An interesting concept in path-searching.  This program
		contains a path-handler that allows you	to selectively
		control or assign your system's search path using script
		files.  Includes source.
		Author:  Rico Mariani
 
CONTENTS OF DISK 178
--------------------
 
AmicForm	Creates a phonebook containing only those areacodes and
		exchanges reachable through PC-Pursuit.  Update to the
		version on disk number 157.  Works with the new Finalist
		BBS format.  Version 1.4, Binary only.
		Author:  John Motsinger
 
BlackBox	The black box is an 8x8 grid in which several "atoms" are
		hidden.  Your job is to find the atoms.  You have at your
		disposal a ray projector which you can use to send rays
		into the box from any of the 32 spots around the box.
		Binary only.
		Author:  Tim Kemp
 
CIATimer	Two versions of ciatimer routines to provide precise
		timing for applications requiring a high-accuracy
		real-time clock.  Includes source and a sample
		executable.
		Author:  Karl Lehenbauer, based on the original
			 version by Paul Higginbottom
 
Cosmic		An interstellar multiplayer game of War and Peace.  From
		the looks of the documentation file, it appears fairly
		extensive!  Version 1.01, includes source.
		Author:  Carl Edman
 
Ls		Version 2.0 of the popular UNIX style directory lister.
		Revised for Lattice 5.0 and made 1.3 compatible.
		Includes source.
		Author:  Justin V. McCormick.

		or displays some information about all available
		libraries.  Update to version on disk number 139.
		Version 1.11, includes source in assembler.
		Author:  Heiko Rath
 
RexxArpLib	Version 2.0 of the rexxarplib.library, which has grown
		considerably, with substantial intuition interface
		support.  Also included is a large number of ARexx macros.
		Author:  W.G.J. Langeveld

    FF173-178 (177 tonight) have been uploaded to CGOU01::AMNEW: and
    also copied to TAPE::user1:[upload].  The files on cgou01 will be
    deleted once it has been confirmed that tape has them.  These files
    have been Zoo'd with all of the subdirectory information.  If anybody
    has any problems with these files please let me know. 
    
    Additional files in this format will be uploaded to TAPE as I get
    time.  The zoo'ing process is automated and takes about 5 min for
    a normal ff disk, however the upload runs about 60-100 min with
    zmodem @1200 baud.

    	The new FF directors have been set-up and tehn files moved.
    
    		Steve Peters
    

    Unfortunately, FF175.ZOO is corrupt at file "sendmorse/sendmorse"...
    
    Also, could the author of the base note please move it to the
    consolidated listings at 1156.*?

    Hello,
    
    I have a problem when dezooing FF175.zoo it tells me that file 
    sendmorse/sendmorse ha a CRC erros and it skipped to the end of
    the zoo file.The vms zoo gives me the same error so it is not a
    problem of down line loading to my machine.
    Can someone check this ?
    Thanxs for all this stuff,
    Phil

    to .3 and .4
    Sorry to duplicate note as they were written at the same time
    Phil

    I have re-zoo'd 175.  I successfully de-zoo'd this on cgou01 without
    any errors.  The new file has been sent to the TAPE upload directory.
    I trust it will be substituted soon.
    
    I don't know what happened to the other file, I thought that I had
    checked all of the files, sorry.
    

    wayne
    

    
    	The new FF175 has been moved to
    
    	TAPE::USER1:[AMIGA.FF175]
