AddIcon1.0 - This is a little utility program which will 'create' (actually
'clone') icons for files which do not already have one. The icons
which are used as the templates are stored in a directory which MUST
be named AddIcon_Icons. These icons may be changed, replaced, or
deleted at will. The default tool and the tooltypes stored in the
.info file will be carried over to the new icon.
B.A.D - This is a demo and does not do all the regular prog does. BAD
cleans up the a disk and then writes it to a new disk. Icons an all
appear a lot quicker. Also lessens the graunching noises drives can
make
CommTut - a long and detailed tutorial on comms.
Rainbow - various tunes with various instruments. Plays with DMCS.
FlipText1.2 - a print formatting prog for an Epson printer. Prints in
groups of 48 or 60 lines of 255 characters sideways on the printer.
Various options.
DNet - An Alpha release of a Unix utility mainly for getting Amigas to
talk to each other over phone lines.
Files - a file cataloging utility by Matt Dillon.
FreeRam - lists to stdo where exactly all free ram lives with addresses.
GetOpt - another progamming utility. The function getopt() returns the
next option letter in argv that matches a letter in optstring.
Optstring is a string of valid option letters; if an option letter
is followed by a colon (:), that option is expected to have an argument
that may or may not be separated from it by white space. Optarg is set
to point to the start of the option's argument on return from getopt();
Kurta - more C source this time with intuition etc.
Resident - little utility that prints out all names of devices, libraries
etc that are resident.
Semaphores - The Autodocs on message & signal semaphores seem to be a
little bit lacking. These notes might clarify the use of them just a
bit.
BtoA - is a filter that reads anything from the standard input, and
encodes it into printable ASCII on the standard output. It also
attaches a header and checksum information used by the reverse filter
_a_t_o_b to find the start of the data and to check integrity.
Cd - is a replacememnt for AmigaDos cd but this time adds a note to the
menu bar saying what the current path is.
Colour_Twiddler - First, you can experiment with different colour
combinations by actually specifying numeric parameters for Red, Green,
and Blue. You can also do the same with numerous programs which use
"slider gadgets", but I include the capability for completeness. Note
there's also a slider-gadget option in this program which you can
enable at compile time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk2
AutoPics - will call your viewing program to display all the pics in a
directory having the user-specified extension (such as .pic or .ham).
In essence, any picture viewing program will become a slideshow
without the bother of a script.
ShowAnim - A program for the playing of ANIM files. The usage for this
program is simply: Showanim <filename>
VT100_2.8 - The famous VT100 emulator terminal prog with Kermit and XModem.
Conman1.1 - ConMan is a replacement console handler that provides line
editing and command history for any program that uses CON: windows.
It runs under AmigaDOS V1.2 and is completely transparent to other
software. After ConMan has been activated, all CON: windows opened
by AmigaDOS will automatically use the ConMan handler. This includes
command windows opened by NEWCLI as well as any data input/output
windows that your program may use.
Introducer - create your own scrolling demos! Use your own pictures, your
own sounds, and of course, your own text files.
Vac1.5 - a neat little hack that will `cleanup' your workbench when it gets
too cluttered.
Music - Sound of Silence and Scarborough Fair. Plays Ok with DMCS
Breaker - This song requires the instruments on the data disk that comes
with Sonix 2.0 plus the instruments included here. Enjoy the song.
LaceWb - LaceWB will toggle LACE mode of the workbench screen WITHOUT
re-booting the system. Runs from both CLI or Workbench.
LLsort - This assembly language program is a very good replacement for
the AMIGADos SORT utility found in c:. It performs in-memory sorts
of ASCII text files whose records are terminated by the linefeed
character (0A hex., 10 decimal). For those familiar with the Shell
environment, LLSort has its Pure bit set and may be made resident.
Browser1.2 - Browser provides a less flashy but more useful (at least
for programmer's and other power users) adjunct to the Amiga Workbench.
It also radically reduces the need for directory utilities.
It emulates most of the features and capabilities of the Workbench
in text-only windows. All files in the system are accessible... not
just the ones that have icons associated with them. Supported features
include: executing, copying/moving, renaming, and deleting files;
and examining, copying/moving, renaming, creating, and deleting
directories. Unsupported features: formatting, renaming, and making
raw copies of diskettes.
VBoot1.01 - This program provides a convienient way of examining the boot
block of a disk to determine the presence of a 'virus'. The program
presently checks for the existance of the AEK, SCA, LSD, and Byte
Bandit viruses. If the virus check itself is defeated, the program
still allows you to view the boot block of a disk in an ascii format
to check for character strings that may alert you to the presence of
a virus.
Beyond_Icon_ed - is a file containing commands for creating and editing
icons beyond what can be done with IconEd. While all these commands
can be found in the public domain, I have never seen them all together
in a file that explained how to use them in relationship to each other.
Basic to using these commands is Deluxe Paint which takes the place
of IconEd.
Sonix-Player - PLAY is that program you've been patiently waiting for
that'll let you listen to Sonix tunes without Sonix itself. Not
only can you play scores, but you can also create PLAY scripts that
play multiple scores, one right after the next. This allows for
continuous music which is desirable for slide shows and the like.
This is possible since PLAY can start a score playing, while
preloading the next score. In addition, PLAY may be used from either
the Workbench or the CLI.
Undelete - The only problem with undelete is that you **MUST** know the
name of the file you are attempting to undelete. The syntax for
undelete is: undelete.XXX <filename> [where .XXX is the appropriate
extension] After the file is undeleted, you will find it in the
selected drive. Also undelete renames the file by appending the
block # on the end of the orig.filename.

Digitizing - a general howto on digitizing with considerable detail by
Ralph Reed.
Fontfacts - a even more detailed and long article on Amiga fonts.
MouseCMd - MouseCMD is a utility that allows you to execute commands or
enter text at a click of the mouse button. This is done by introducing
simulated keystrokes into the input stream, appearing to the system that
commands are being entered from the keyboard.
VirusX_1.21 - One of a growing band of virus zappers.
WhichFont - by Rob Peck that asks AvailFonts() to make a list of the fonts
that are available and makes a list of them, then opens a separate
window and prints a description of the various attributes that can
be applied to the fonts, in the font itself. Notice that not all
fonts accept all attributes (garnet9 for example, won't underline).
A68k - by Charlie Gibbs. This assembler is based on Brian R. Anderson's
68000 cross-assembler published in Dr. Dobb's Journal, April through
June 1986. I have converted it to produce AmigaDOS-format object
modules, and have made many enhancements such as macros and include
files.
Access! - One of a new generation of Comms progs for the amiga. Full
colour with many options but no zmodem or scripting.
Gif2Ami - These two programs were developed for Compuserve to enable
different types of computers to exchange pictures. The majority of
GOOD pictures are done on the Amiga. When the pictures are displayed
on an Amiga you can very easily tell if they were done on an IBM or
MAC (the quality just is not there). The program Giffy is used to
display GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) pictures and the program
IFF2GIF is used to make GIF files from IFF files. Note how much less
disk space is used by GIF files. To display GIF files on an IBM
(EGA recommended) use the program CSHOW which is floating around in
the IBM section on many BBSs.
Display - a selection of screen hacks. Play around and have a surprise.
Amiga_Early_Days - a talk given by R.J. Mical at Boston Computer Society
in Cambridge Massachusetts. 6 Pages of notes.
Structures - 2 progs, Xplor scans all the system lists that start in
ExecBase and prints out their names and the addresses at which they
start. Also Structure Browser for which there are no notes.

Contents ScopeDisk4
ForEach - as in "foreach #?.c compress -v" which will run compress
(with flag -v) on all files matching #?.c.
UpDate - a replacement for AmigaDos Copy that retains the date along with
pattern matching, optional 'to' and 'from' qualifiers, copy directories
and lots lots more.
Icons3 - by Jeff White. Several icons to look at.
CramIcon - yet more icons.
KPointers - about 25 different pointers but cannot be seen without using
the Prefs programm supplied.
MacFont - a conversion package for ,well, converting Mac fonts to Amiga
fonts.
PS-IFF - a utility for converting Commodore 64 PrintShop Graphics to
brusg files for DPaint.
MagIcons - This is a collection of original Icons and a pointer for
your Workbench Disk, plus three extra Disk Icons-- Dem.info and
Comm.info, and File.info. Dem.info is intended for an Amiga demos
disk, such as one containing the Juggler, Robocity, Boing, and other
demos which show off your Amiga's talents. The Comm.info icon is
intended, of course for a communications disk, and File.info for
a file disk.
Wp-Ps2 - WP-PS is a file conversion program that enables Word Perfect
users to transfer files more easily into PageSetter textfile
format.
Patch - This is a port of the UNIX patch program to the Amiga.
Patch is an expert at updating source files by applying context diffs
to them (context diffs are produced by the BSD UNIX program diff).
Scalc41 - A relativley simple version of the old Unix Scalc with Amiga
bits and pieces added. Quite usable.
AmiCron - This is a (no longer) crude but effective version of the Unix (tm)
program known as "cron" modified to run on an Amiga. For those
who aren't Unix knowledgeable, cron is a background task which
uses a disk-resident table to automatically run certain tasks on a
regular basis.
Pri - Sets the priority of the specified process to pri. These have to be
CLI processes; pri won't change the prioirity of programs started from
the WB.
Multisco - a user definable `Kaleidoscope' program. Very nice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS SCOPE DISK 5
ICONLAB1 - this shareware program provides an unusually nice icon
manipulator. It will allow you to change the type of any
icon to any other type, to change the tooltypes, etc., to
view each part of an animated icon. The viewing window is
large, so you can use it with oversized icons that will not
fit into IconEd.
DISKSALV13 - an update to the indispensable DiskSalv from Dave Haynie. The
new version will rescue disks from either old or new file
systems, from floppy or from hard disks. It can be used
selectively to rescue only certain programs. The features
are far too numerous to list, because this disk is nearly
full!
EW12 - Exploding Windows is a cute little screen hack, but it does so much
to dress up the Amiga that I thought you'd want to see it.
I use it most of the time. It takes up a little time, but
is just too attractive to dismiss.
FASTDISK - A program from Germany, with documentation in both German and in
a translation to English. The program optimizes disks for
faster access, and it works by copying your disk to a fresh
one, reorganizing as it goes. It is said to make directories
from three to five times as fast as normal.
LESS1.3 - This update to LESS has all the features of the UNIX version, has
a manual and a help file, and offers many extensions to the
popular file reader we've used for a long time. The source
came with this file, but would not fit on this disk. It
is on Fish #14.
SHELL2.10 - Matt Dillon's latest update to his shell. There have been
several bug fixes and additions. Not only has the Delay(0)
bug been circumvented, but SETENV and PRINTENV have been
added. These permit you to have global variables that will
apply to all shells running in the system.
FLOAT - A nice little utility that will make any icon a "noposition" icon.
It is extremely easy to use: Just click on the "Float" icon
then double-click on the non-floating icon, and it will
be changed.
ACCESS1.4 - This terminal program grows more and more useful. It now has
a "read" facility, a view buffer that can be saved, and
supports PAL, MoreRows, interlace, etc. If you use this
please do not put the menu that contains "Quit" at the top
of the screen. That is being fixed, but the fix is not
available yet. The program works fine if you take this
precaution. Shareware from Keith Young.
SHOWFONT - With this one, you can look at every character in a font without
having to load the font into memory. It will open a window,
read the font from disk and display the full character set,
and then go away when you click the close gadget.
HANDYICONS - I think it very likely that this one will become indispensable
to almost everyone with a hard disk, if not to everyone
else. It makes an extra menu on the Workbench disk. You
can then store all your most necessary tool names in that
menu and select them just as you would select anything else
from the regular menus. To add a new tool, type the path
to that tool into the ToolTypes blank for HandyIcons.info.
SHOWIZ - Why another slideshow program? This one has more than twenty ways
to present a picture, and it will do them without a script.
A script can be written if you want to fancy things up,
but ShoWiz will work without one, and will make an interes-
ting presentation with minimum work.

A68k121 - If you are an experienced 68000/68010 Assembly language
programmer, you will find much of this material useful in
understanding assembly language programming on the AMIGA. If you are
an experienced AMIGA assembly language programmer, you may find much
of the material boring, and will only want to use this as a reference
document. If you don't know assembly language, then this document will
not teach it, so you may need to get one of a number available
reference books on MC68000 assembly language programming.
ASG - ASG is a simple compiler that allows you to define windows, menus,
gadgets, and requesters in a simple manner. It allows you to supply
only the information you feel is relevent and it will supply the rest.
ASM - various assembly routines.
DeBug - a debugger geared towards the heavy duty hacker.
Hunker - This program was written by Terry Fisher. Its purpose: to fix
some of those nasty programs that were written before people started
using fast memory. Now, it can also be used as a valuable 'C'
development tool, similar in function to the Assembly language Atom
utility. By running this program on your executable, you can avoid
having to copy image data into chip memory. Simply put 'Hunker
<file> d=c' into your Makefile, and all initialized data will be
loaded into chip memory automatically.
IA - An early but effective iconmaker Use in conjunction with a paint prog.
MenuBuild - There is a difficulty in building menus, this program will
automate the process. This program will take a simple text file and
generate a C source file with all the needed structures for producing
an AMIGA Menu.
PtrData - The Intuition function SetPointer() allows you to attach a
custom pointer to a window by specifing the Window, Sprite, height,
width, xoffset and yoffset. The Preferences program allows you to
design your custom pointers but it saves them as a preferences
structure in the devs: directory as a file system-configuration.
This program will read the system-configuration file and then generate
the C data needed to use the SetPointer function.
Qint - A Matt Dillon special on Interrupts etc.
SmallLib - This is for all you who program the Amiga in 68000 assembly
(Both of you... :-). It works just like Amiga.lib except it's only
11K instead of over 88K. What's missing?? All those mangy C language
stubs you don't need anyway.
SuperLib - a general C support library often used by Matt Dillon.

of the Starship Amiga adventures, starring all those folks who make
and keep the Amiga going. One of these involves a fellow named Fish
and the Amiga viruses; the other, Amiga and the Marketroids.
FLIRP - a screen hack. This program will take a textfile and will put the
letters on the screen in a random pattern. Interesting - but useful???
SCT - Set Color Table. This utility lets you set the colors of any screen.
It pops up in a small window and you can adjust the colors with sliders.
Written by A.K.Levin.
SNOOP - by Martin J. Laubach. This is a "poor man's snoop" utility. It is
something like the "Snoop" in the developers' material, but this one
sends its output to a file instead of to a separate terminal, and it
is a subset of the facilities in the regular snoop.
CLICK - by Peter da Silva. Run a program in a Workbench environment, but
from the CLI. Just type click program name and the program will run
as though clicked on the Workbench, then return you to the CLI.
5.25DRV - instructions and a schematic for making an IBM drive into a 5 1/4"
drive that will work with the Amiga.
WP - an example of WordPerfect macros. This one converts a WordPerfect text
file into a document file.

ISpell - a port of the GNU Ispell for the Amiga. This spelling checker is
one that is in use on the computers at MIT, and was ported to the
Amiga by one of the MIT students. It appears to be a very full-featured
program, but is not Amigatized very much.
ARRAYS - requires AmigaBASIC to run. It is a small program that determines
the amount of memory required for a set of dimensioned arrays.
MRBackup - Mike Rinfret's hard disk backup program. This is a recent
version with some improvements and bug fixes.
ABEL0708 - a price list from Abel mail order firm. Good for deciding
whether a product is available, or if a rice is reasonable, even if
you prefer your local dealer.
HUMBIRD2.0- an improved version of the cute hummingbird pointer. This
version includes source.
ARCHA11 - version 1.1 of the program that decompresses any kind of file in
current use on the popular BBS circuit - it will ARC, PAK, or ZOO files,
and will also UNARC, UNPAK, or UNZOO them. All by point-and-click -
no CLI needed.
CW11 - this is a utility that will replace characters in a file with a
string of your choosing. Includes documentation and source.

Plug2.0 - is a program designed to allow you to create ARexx scripts
that can be run under the workbench by using project icons.
Fixtxt - is a small utility for cleaning up text files that are littered
with binary. The output file will contain text and linefeed chars only.
Tabs expand to spaces. Tabstop allows an optional tab position setting.
LDebug2.0 - Demo version of a neat source level and symbolic debugger for
the Lattice compiler. It allows you to load your program and trace by
individual source line or 68000 instruction.

NagTiger - Nagel's picture of a tiger, digitized No credits given.
Chicago - Macfont called Chicago, cleaned up with kerning and spacing
improved. Done with Calligrapher 1.05, so should be fixed.
KKSol - Compiled AmigaBASIC game. Solitare played on 4 x 4 square Colorful
hi-res screen, fast play. Offers several levels of difficulty.
Eliza - assembly source included. This is rewritten for the Amiga by the author of the original 6502 version of Eliza, but
based on the 1965 game written for mainframes at MIT. Requires ARP 34+
(Eliza is a psychologist who will talk with you about your troubles.
AI demo.)
Display - Animation and IFF viewer. This is an update. Includes a sample
file that illustrates use of all commands.
IBMJoke - Inspired by Eddy Carroll's C64 emulator, with new twists by
different authors here. Source NOT included. Some entertaining and
clever touches.
Blinker - AmigaBASIC linker. Links sub-programs to main program.
Instructions, several modules included.
OnLineMag - Issue #3 of AmyReport, the online Amiga magazine placed on
CompuServe by Henry Colonna and others. Reviews of Manx, SDB,
WordPerfect LIBRARY, new 24-pin printer, several games. This magazine
has good content, but lacks polish in spelling, grammar, etc. Reviews
are nicely written, and show thoughtfulness.
Startup2 - allows use of different batch files so that you can have your own
choice of custom startups for different situations.
EyeBall - a picture of an eyeball - not a real one.
Mach2.3 - a versatile utility for screen blanking, turnoff pointer, set
funckeys in many ways and much more.

Contents ScopeDisk20
CHECKERS - an AmigaBASIC game. You can play against the computer, or
against another player. Use the mouse to choose a piece to move,
and click on the place where you want the piece. The game protects
against illegal moves.
SHOWIZ - a really good program for displaying pictures and textfiles. It
will display one or a directory-full or a disk-full. If you want to
write a script-file, you can. Otherwise, it will display each picture
or textfile as it comes to them, moving on after 30 seconds. This is
a VERY nice program Shareware, $10 and $15 suggested. Has 23 choices
of ways to move the frames onto the screen!
LIBCAT12 - uses the Dewey Decimal System to help maintain records of a
library (personal or otherwise). There are many options to the
program, even including the option to print spine labels. Options
permit searches and printed reports based on searches. Except that
it uses the Dewey Decimal System, now largely replaced by ISBM numbers,
it appears to be a most useful and capable program.
BMAT - came with no documentation at all. This appears to be a version of
BFormat, a program that will format disks on which there is a bad spot
by marking whole bad tracks as used.
CRAPS - written in TrueBASIC, then compiled. Simulation of the casino Craps
game. There seem to be quite a few options, but someone who gambles
more than I will have to explain them. It is colorful and appear to
work.
IBELIEVE - a SONIX tune of the same name. This will need to be moved to
a disk that has the Player program for SONIX, or else to be used with
SONIX itself. It will not play as presented here.
VICHECK1 - a virus checker from Germany, said to detect the SCA virus or all
non-standard boot blocks. No source given. Use at your own risk.
DISKPERF - checks the speed of disk drives. It checks for a number of
items, number of seeks, speed for each seek, time to load in a file,
etc. Sample times for floppies and several hard disks are included
in the documentation file.
VIRUSX1.5 - Steve Tibbet's latest assault on the virii. This one was
written to add a new strain of the Byte Bandit virus that had come
to his notice. Comes with both source and a makefile. RECOMMENDED.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents of ScopeDisk21
NEXTSCRN - A utility that makes it as easy for you to cycle through screens
as it is to cycle through windows. Uses a L-Amiga key sequence.
DMOUSE19 - update to Matt Dillon's popular Dmouse program. The program
offers a number of utilities packaged into one: sunmouse, screen
blanker, disappearing pointer when it is not in use; screen
cycling, and more. This one uses a handler, which allows the
program itself to take up less memory than some.
SPUDCLK - A clock for your Amiga that will speak the time at intervals set
by you. You can set it for the starting time, the interval to
be left between warnings, and the time it is to quit. Nice.
LESS2 - An upgrade to the less program used on all of the Fish disks.
This version of Less has search paths, the ability to call up
an editor, and literally dozens of new abilities the old one did
not have. It is said to have just about all of the features
found in the Unix "Less" program. There is an extensive manual.
ACCESS1.4 - Keith Young's update to his popular Access terminal program.
This one was designed especially to work with the WHAP! software
for CIS access, but it has many new features that work
everywhere. Among other things, it supports a file reader,
morerows, PAL screens, chat mode, and QuickB protocol.
HAMHAF - an AmigaBASIC program. Forgive - I have not run this program.
SOMEICONS - several of these icons are very attractive. There are about a
dozen, of various sorts - drawer, tool, etc.
DUTIL204 - the directory utility that never seems to be finished! In
addition to bug fixes, there are several new features here. One
very nice feature is that when it unarcs, it will do a number of
files at once, putting each into its own subdirectory. You can
then just rename the directory. It will also attach a drawer
icon if you make sure there is an "Empty.info" file available to
it before you start.
PICS - some pictures to show off the machine. This file contains several,
including one of Roger Rabbit riding in a taxi; Yogi bear; and
one called DuckDodg.
BUBBLES - this is a screen hack - and screen hacks are always best if left
for the viewer to discover for himself.
SHOWIZ - a remarkably nice slide viewer. It has about twenty or so
different wipes, fades, etc. It can be controlled with a
script, but will also show all of the pics in a directory
without one. The instructions are shown using ShoWIz itself.
PELIHACK - three screen hacks. Just run and enjoy. Only problem is - they
are a bit hard to get out of, so run them when you can reboot
if you have to.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk22
EW12 - neat little utility, hack, or whatever. It causes a very
attractive emphasis on each window when it opens or closes.
Rather extensive use has not produced any other effects
Tactic - this is an article written by Chip Orange. Chip is blind, and
is a professional computer programmer. This article tells
about some of the things computers can do for the blind, and
also discusses some uses of the ATALK2 program which is also
on this disk. Very interesting!
Boingpt - An animated pointer - a Boing ball that constantly rotates
as you use it. The pointer can be started or stopped by
clicking on its icons.
Atalk2 - This program causes the Amiga to speak each thing that is
printed on the screen. It also has utilities that permit
the use of the keyboard instead of the mouse. The program
was written to make the Amiga accessible to the blind, but
it is useful to the sighted, as well
Moria2 - An update to the popular Moria game. This is an adventure
game in which you can set up and describe a rather large
number of the characters and other features. See MoriaDocs
for instructions. This is a truly outstanding game - so
much so that it was given a multi-page review in the newest
Commodore magazine (arrived yesterday).
GWPrint - One of the nicest utilities I've found lately! This provides
excellent control of printed output from a panel on the
screen. You can set the font, the mode, the line lengths,
the page lengths, the type size, etc. here. The program will
skip perforations, provide top and bottom margins, print a
title, page number, and the date - all kinds of very nice
features. It even works on my STAR SG10 - a rare quality indeed!
ScreenX22 - This is a screen-grabber. It permits you to capture any
screen to a file, in IFF format. You use hot-keys for this
so it will work with any program you are running. There
are various other features to this program, but this is the major one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk23
FastDisk - This is a freely distributable, fully working program which
will optimize your disks so that they load more smoothly and
(in some cases, at least) about 50% faster. Icons and
directories are copied first, so that they are easily and
quickly accessed, and all files put where they require the
smallest possible amount of head thrashing.
Lunar - Digitized picture of a lunar landing. Nice work.
Drive - This is an animation of RedLotus
Clerk - At last! A very nice accounting program for the Amiga, and
in the public domain. This one has several modules,
including Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable. The
programmer owns a small remodelling company, and wrote this
program to keep his own records. NOT SHAREWARE, but PD.
Mars - This is a set of space pictures, all viewable by just
clicking the mouse on their icons.
FastMouse - Want to speed up mouse movements without all the extra
features of MachII or Dmouse? This one just speeds up
the mouse and blanks the screen. That's all. And thus
it takes very, very little memory.
AugPtrs - A set of new pointers to dress up your Workbench. To change
from one to the other, you just type "Prefs pointername".
Fun and easy to do. Enjoy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk24
IconLab1 - One of the nicest icon utilities to come out. This lets you view
any icon - both images in case of animated ones - and change the
type of the icon to any type you desire. You can also use it to
set the tooltypes, stack, and other items usually accessible
only from "Info". Very nice and easy to use!
AmyCal - This is a port of the UNIX Cal. It will print a calendar for
any month you specify, no matter what year. My thought - how
neat for a genealogist - "hmmm - this ancestor was born on Oct.
15, 1788, eh? Gee, wonder what day of the week that was. Ah,
CAL told me!" But it works for business appointments, school
holidays - all those other occasions when you need the odd
calendar for a sec.
QRT14 - These two files contain the programs, samples, documentation,
QRT14SRC and source to the latest update of this quick raytracing
program.
Icons - This set of icons was uploaded by a CIS member last week. Most
of the icons are unusual, and are animated. Several have a
real surprise when you click them.
Trix - Trix is a game, played with a joystick. You are to paint at
least 60% of the screen before you are hit by any of the baddies
roaming the screen. It isn't as easy as it sounds!
LJPrnt - Laser Jet Print - a program to make it easier to use the H.P.
laser jet with your Amiga. It adds several niceties.
ClipIt - Think of it as a graphic version of SnipIt. With ClipIt, you
can use the mouse to "lasso" any rectangle on the screen and
to save that rectangle as an IFF file. It can then be
loaded to any screen in which you wish to place it. Not whole
screens, please. This is for smaller parts of a screen.
Hermit - THIS one is for saving entire screens to an IFF file. Want to
save something from your terminal? From your word processor?
The screen to a game? A particularly interesting Mandelbrot?
Just hit the designated hot-keys and off the screen goes to
a file. There are other features, but this is its main
attraction. I tried it. It works.
MoreIcons - A second set of icons from the same person who did the file
described above. Keep your Amiga interesting. Try new icons.
OurMag - This is an IFF picture showing OURMAG on Top!
ShowAnim43 - This latest version of ShowAnim will display animations that
use HAM - and any other animations you have, as well.
LinkB - This one is untested. It is the software needed to set up an
Amiga bulletin board.
FrenchWP - Written in C for speed, this file will take a WordPerfect file
and make the necessary changes to let you print French
characters with the right accents, etc. With the source
included, it is easy to adapt it for any other language.
CAAUGP - Have a look at this really neat pointer! It was made expecially
for the Cleveland Area Amiga User's Group, is animated,
maybe even ray-traced. At any rate, it is pretty special.
Start and stop it with its own icon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk25
Storage - A small program that will tell you how much room you have left on
every device in your Amiga - how much on each disk, including hard
disks; how much of each kind of memory, how much in your RAM: disks
- everything.
VirusX20 - Steve Tibbets' latest Virus checker. He found out about some new
ones, including one that is quite vicious. This version was completed
about Sept. 5
Toccato - An entire toccato and fugue, for your enjoyment. You will need to
supply your own player, since that is not included on this disk.
AniPointer - A rather large set of animated pointers is included in this
file, along with the program that allows you to create your own. Each
pointer has an icon to start it and another to kill it. A few are
really interesting. Check out the Amiga Check-mark, for instance.
PKAd - PKad was written in BASIC, then compiled. It is a simple CAD
program, and contains all the symbols needed for setting up electrical
schematics. There is a program with which you can create your own
objects for other kinds of designs
Museum - Easily the nicest ray-traced picture I've seen lately. The picture
gained this title because its objects appear to be displayed in a
museum-like atmosphere. Extremely nice work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk26
Float - Do you prefer your icons to be placed in the next available
slot, rather than stacking on top of each other? Click on the icon to
Float - then on the fixed icon. It will now be a "no-position" icon
that will fit into the next convenient slot. No more cleanups needed.
XpressEditDemo - This is a mostly-working demo of a planned commercial
product. Try it out, make suggestions to the programmers, see how you
like it. The price is right!
MDu365 - Latest upgrade to the constantly improving directory utility from
the Modula 2 group.
AToday22 - One of the on-line magazines that appear on several of the large
networks. They contain product reviews, articles, graphics - whatever
can be found.
Space - See how much space you have - wherever it might be!
CoComm5 - This popular Term program has just been improved. It has many
nice features. While it was originally planned to support the
conferences on CompuServe, it is very good as a general purpose terminal.
SeeMenu - Full-screen cartoon, made with the latest Digiview software.
It shows just how good Digiview 3.0 is at digitizing black and white
line drawings - and is sort o funny, too.
FunIcons - Another set of icons - all designed to be humorous. This set has
been very popular on CIS, and here it is for you.
NewFonts - Quite a collection of new fonts - an IBM font, a "real computer"
font, a "ooooooooooo..ohh! scary!!!" font for your Halloween fun, a
Nostalgic font. Try them out!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk27
Icons3 - This file contains several animated icons: seven drawer icons and
three project icons. All are animated, and are more meaningful than
most. For example - for mathematical things, a drawer icon that is a
picture of Keplar; for travel, a drawer icon that is a familiar road
sign.
ClickDos - Want a small directory utility that does the simpler things,
but doesn't take tons of room on your workbench? This one should fit
the need. It handles the basic copy, makedir, etc (about eight
functions), its window can be iconified so you can leave it in place,
and it takes up less than 30K
Toing - Screen hack. This is yet another hack that uses the Boing balls.
It is cute, and it will start from an icon and go away with a click
of the left mouse button. Enjoy.
DuH27 - Hermes has made yet another improvement to his directory utility.
This one now has three pages of buttons, and will do almost everything
except type in the data for you. Instructions are included, and you
can add many, many tools. Additions are easy to make; just edit a file
with any editor - following the pattern already set in the file.
HopaLong - This is a mathematical program. It will make pretty patterns
on the screen, and is based on a mathematical recreation suggested in
the Scientific American magazine.
ToggleWB - A small utility that lets you toggle between interlace and a
regular workbench screen. This utility runs ONLY from its icon, and will
work only if all windows except Workbench windows have been closed.
Cramden - The first of a set of promised "Cramden Utilities". This contains
two small utilities similar to two from MS-DOS. One, FF, will find a
specified file on a disk; the other, SI, gives you a wide range of system
information. These are passed along to you untried.
FigList - This is an early version of the program. It is designed to
poll the system and return information about all devices, expansion
boards, etc. that are in the system. For this version, the author asks
that users please use it to interrogate their own system and send him
information so that he can complete the program. He wants it to know
about the codes of all manufacturers of add-on equipment, and will post
the results so it will be available to programmers who might need it.
RzsZmdm - A stand-alone Zmodem utility. The documentation says it can
work with almost any terminal program, but it comes with a simple term of
its own, just in case your particular term is incompatible. Zmodem is a
great deal faster than Xmodem; here is a chance to try it.
2000PR - preferences icon for the A2000 that SAYS A20000.
Postcard - This is said to be a beginning toward a HyperText system for the
Amiga. Currently it works on one card at a time rather than a stack.
There are instructions for making cards and for using them, but no
sample data with which to try it out.
PW25 - This is a demo only version of Power Windows 2.5 from Innovatronics.
This version of Power Windows has just been released, and the
demo will show you what it can do, how it works, but won't save
your data for you.
ReMap - Change your pictures from one format to another with remap. Hi-res
to MedRes, Ham to Hi-res, etc.
Anim2IFF - Use this utility to separate animations back to the original IFF
drawings from which they were made.
RamCar - Use an icon to set up a RamDisk. This works under 1.3, and sets up
the Recoverable Ram Disk, or restores it after reboot, just by clicking
on the icon.
DiskCheck - Untried, sorry. The program is said to check a disk and report
to you any bad spots on the disk, even in the parts of the track that
do not have active data on them. In other words - it checks the gaps
too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk145
Travail - This is a small, assembler version of avail. Source is included,
for those who would like to study or modify the program.
Demon - An outstanding sound and graphics demo for the Amiga, but be warned,
no one has found a way out without rebooting!
Qmouse12 - yet another mouse accelerator, screen blanker, POPCLIer, Sunmouser,
and more. This one, however, is written in assembler and requires
only about 3K of memory - and less disk space, too.
Swirl - this is an animated pointer. I think I might have called it Ying-Yang,
but it *does* swirl.....
RdPrt12 - Two ways to read files, one to print them. There are many features
to each of these utilities. The print utility, in particular, gives
a great deal of control over the appearance of the output. It also
has the ability to distinguish between binary and text files, and to
print only those that are text, so you can tell it to print dirname *
and it will print all the textfiles in the directory.
DoTil37 - This directory utility does most all of the things you need to do
with files - copy, delete, move, rename, etc. It will copy filenotes
and will let you add notes, can be iconized to save memory and space,
and has many other nice features.
ShowFont - When you click on the icon for SHOWFONT, it will read the fonts:
directory and display the fontnames found there. Choose a font and
a size, and SHOWFONT will show you every character in that font.
Very useful for seeing what fonts look like on screen!
AmiDex - simple database program that is designed to work like CardEx. It
is set up to store addresses and telephone numbers, to print labels,
and to easily manage an address and telephone list.
Fonts - several new fonts for you to try. At the time of writing, this file
contains two fonts - ANSI 8, and Amigafont.
Pipeworx - Game written in AmigaBASIC. You are to solve the puzzle which
involves the making of a disk-magazine.
Play8SVX - this utility is needed in order to play some of the sounds now
being used in demos, etc. So here's your copy.
DanSpool - Print spooler. It gives you a bit of control over what is being
printed while you do more interesting things on your Amiga.
MrPrint - Print utility from Mark Rinfret. This one lets you control most
of the printer commands from a workbench or cli environment.
Lace - set up your interlace screen from this program.
GetFil - a file requester routine that you may include in your programs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk29
Xicon2 - This is an update to the earlier Xicon, the program that lets you
run execute files and CLI-only programs from a Workbench icon. There
are many features other than these. An excellent utility!
OnlyAmiga - The icon will NOT run this! I haven't tried it myself, but it
was described as a fantastic animation. You must have ShowAnim to run
it.
EarthQ - Cute little screen-hack. It will perform, then go away. Enjoy.
SysReq - System requesters you probably never saw before. A joke set of
requesters. Written in AmigaBASIC, but compiled for easy running.
Lists - This simple database program is currently set up to handle
videotapes but you can change the names of the fields to store any
kind of records you might need. Not powerful, but small and easy for
small jobs.
NZap318 - Update to the excellent disk editor FileZap. This is an extremely
nice and useful program. For example: some program driving you nuts
because it always asks for RAM: when you prefer VD0:? Use
NZap to find all instances of RAM: in the file, and change them. No more
problems!
Batcher - This little 218 byte assembly language program will let you run
script files without the use of RUN. The example given is to write
a script that will compile a C program. Then use Batcher to change
it to a "xxx.bat" file named "cc.bat", and after that, compile by
typing "cc progname". Write whatever script you need, of course.
LabelB - DPaint templates from which you can make really nice disk labels.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents ScopeDisk30
DiskSalv13 - This update to the indispensable DISKSALV offers many enhance-
ments to a program that was already one of the best ever offered
in Amiga public domain. It now works on hard disks as well as
floppies, and on the regular file system as well as FFS. If you
use ANY kind of disks on the Amiga (does any one not?) you need
this program. DON'T MISS IT.
Shell210 - Another program that no one should be without! This update has
fixed almost all of the bugs found in older versions. Any version
prior to 2.07 is disastrous! Shell will permit you to recall
commands previously used, to set often used commands to function
keys, to screen edit, and far more. It works with Conman to give
an extremely nice CLI environment. If you EVER use the CLI, you
need the SHELL.
TextView - Ever wish for a text viewer/reader that had all of the normal
window gadgets? Here it is. Sizeable, slider bar for moving
through the text, and with front/back and close gadgets. Works
like a charm.
Fonts - These are very large fonts for titling. Some are color fonts with
shadows and shading. I looked at the regular large fonts, but
not at the color ones, so it's your guess just like mine! I've every
reason to believe, though, that they are as nice as the regular ones.
Pplane - Here's one for the kids, whatever their age. Paper airplanes are
fun. This file has several hi-res pictures that show how to make them,
how to fold them, and one screen has clipart to decorate them.
Kickfont2 - If you have an A1000 (like me) you can use this program to make
an extremely nice font your default. It is far more attractive and
readable than the normal Topaz - but only for A1000 owners, and
only under 1.2 <<sniff!!>>.
Dazzle - for fun. This is a kaleidoscope program, and makes some very
attractive designs.
UDH - For those who hate CD, but have to use it sometimes. Run this
program after CDing to something and it will return your machine to
"fresh-boot" condition - automatically accepting df0: as the current
directory.

Clerk3 - This accounting program was written by a businessman in Florida and
is in use for his own business. It includes modules for accts.
receivable Accts. Payable, and General Ledger. You cannot run it from
this disk. Make it a disk of its own, and follow the setup instructions
in the file.
AZComm - Zmodem for Amiga - This is the 1.34 Comm program with added features
in that it now has Zmodem receive, Zmodem send protocols. Since Zmodem
is much, much faster than Xmodem, this is an excellent addition to our
set of term programs.
TexF26 - an updated version of the program that can convert TeX fonts to
Amiga font format. There are many TeX fonts on one of the Fish disks
and many have access to them from other sources. This version works well.
XMake - will go through the source to large programs and locate all of the
function calls, then make a sorted list of all function calls, their
size, and the module in which they are located.
Pearl - Yet another cleanup of a very popular small font - one frequently
used as a replacement for Topaz 8.
Doodle - To use this program, you must put it in a directory with AmigaBASIC
and the FD program from the Extras disk. It is worth it. This is
a really nice little paint program, and makes very nice pictures. Even
better pictures if you have a bit of talent!
QuadPrint - This program will print your pictures across four pages of paper
which can then be put together to make a poster 17 x 22 inches. Neat
tricks, no? Khalid has done several very nice printer utilities, and
this is his latest.
Scenery - Fractal scenery, that is. This is a very quick form of fractal
generator, making "Mandelbrot-like" scenery.
ShowAnim53 - latest update to this program needed for almost all animations.
This one handles HAM, and has some other enhancements. It is necessary
for some of the latest animations coming out.
DskLabel - Hi-res screen with a template and some graphics/text to dress
up your disk labels. Use from DPaint. These labels are really nice.
Gazer2 - Update to StarGazer. This astronomy program is an outstanding
contribution to the freely distributable library. You can choose
many of the parameters and get a view of the sky at a particular
viewpoint, time of day, and part of the world. Good stuff!

ArexRd - this is a script, written for AREXX, to read a file with your
favorite file reader. Good example script.
BB1 - BlockBuster is a disk editor. It has some advantages over the others
and some of them have different advantages. This one includes a rather
nice tutorial on how to use disk editors.
BSave - Very small program, written in assembler, will let you save a block
of mory to disk. This was written because most of the debuggers
available do not have a "save" command. Useful for disassembling or
debugging.
BTree - B-PLUS is a versatile, carefully designed module for C programmers
who need a fast, efficient program for indexing data files. B-PLUS
allows data records to be retrieved based on a key value without regard
to their position in the data file. The data records can also be
accessed in sequential order in either a forward and reverse direction.
DSZam - You asked for it here it is:DSZ compatible Zmodem for Amiga.The
programs will not work with Online!,Comm,GT,Atalk III,Diga!
Maxicom,Aterm,Access or most others. It willwork with Dave Weckers'
VT100 v2.9. With the others, you have to exit the terminal program,
then enter "run rz or sz". It gives you much faster up- or downloads.
NoBord - if you want a clean, 80 x 24 display, without the customary window
gadgets, this is for you. The gadgets are still available - just
hidden. If you move a window, the gadgets all reappear, but you
can just run NOBorder again to get rid of them.
AmyToday - Reviews, gossip, etc. from another of the Amiga's free on-line
magazines.
XCadUtil - For those who have X-CAD from Haitex - this program will make
menus from IFF files, and will translate HPGL to XCAD for you.
These files were uploaded by Harry Evangelou from Haitex.
HDB - simple hard disk backup utility. Since I have no hard disk, you'll
have to tell me if it works.
Access141 - One of the very best of the shareware terminal programs. It is
colorful, easy to use, has many nice features. This one includes
a file reader, has some scripting ability.
UtilMa69 - Directory utility with so many features they cannot possibly
be listed here. It can work with Access if you use interlace -
Utilma69 on the top half of your screen, Access on the bottom half.
It can handle all of your disk housekeeping chores without resorting
to the CLI.
ExecCli- This is a very small program that runs from CLI only. Use it to
see what is running in your system and where they are located.
Interesting for studying the internals.
VirusX201 - the latest version of VirusX, which seems to be bugfree.

FONTS - A very clean font called 2001, size 8 x 8, so it works with SetFont.
Another, Boxy, comes in all three standard sizes (8, 9, 11) and can
be used with the FF command in 1.3, and a third is a 26-point font
called Pirate.
DIRK - This program lets you fine tune your screen colors. It can run from
a startup sequence if you prefer, and is a CLI program only.
RXENV - This is a set of AREXX programs that work with Lattice C, making
it easier to edit and compile programs. Three programs are included,
along with instructions.
CONMAN13 - The included ConMan.doc file has a full description of how to
install and use ConMan, but here's a brief summary of the standard
features -
-- Powerful line editing using control and arrow keys
-- Adjustable-sized command history buffer
-- Window control keys F1/F2 ... shrink or "zoom" the window
-- Fast command search keys F5/F6
-- Select window gadgets and attributes like borderless or backdrop
-- Fully compatible with any software using CON- (console) windows
Features and improvements new to ConMan version 1.3 include ...
-- CND- handler ... allows "invisible" (non-blocking) type-ahead
-- CNX- (extensible) handler ... an AUX--type handler for any device
-- Much-improved editing for lines longer than the window width
-- Improved shrink/zoom ... no more problems with rapid toggling
-- Support for "S*" screen ... opens a window on the front screen
-- Support for superbitmap windows
ICN2BRU - Many utilities convert brushes to icons.
This one converts. Icons to brushes so you can edit them with your
favorite paint program. You can then use one of the other utilities
to turn them back to icons.
SHOWBRD - This is a small program that will search the system for all
mounted boards, etc., and report back information about them.
Written by a developer of hardware for the Amiga.
TEXTRDR - Will read and copy text from a window. As you move the mouse
across the text, it will appear at the cursor. Useful - saves
typing!
FORTUNE - A very small example of an AREXX program. This one will read
a datafile of fortunes, adages, etc., and print them out at
random times on the screen. Datafile not included - sorry.
BILLIARDS - This is a very nice game. A billiards table is shown on the
screen, and you control the stick. You can vary the force and
direction with which the ball is hit, using the mouse to control
it. I like this one.
LEDGER - This is a program for keeping up with accounts of any kind -
home records, or those for a small business or a club.
XOPER11 - a tremendous program for snooping out and/or controlling
tasks, processes, and all other structures in use in the
system. It will display the start address of anything in use
in the system, and in most cases, you get some measure of
control over them. VERY nice.
ROCKET - A drawing of rockets - an especially nice one. This is an
artist's rendition of rockets, inspired by the recent space
launch. Overscan picture, so you may have to have a program
that will scroll pics in order to see all of it.
STAT11 - A manual translation of James M. Synge's stat.c to assembly
language.
Synge's stat is more useful to programmers than the AmigaDos or ARP
status commands because it shows where each command is loaded into
memory. All variable storage is on a stack frame so the code is
"pure".
DUTILS - This file contains several utilities from Matt Dillon. Each is
very small, and the source is given.
DIR - A very small utility that enhances the DIR command. Among other
things, it will give you a five-column directory.
KICKFONT3 - This is exactly like the KickFont 1000 users have been using for
a while - comes from Greg Browne just as the other did, but this one
works on a 1.3 Kickstart. The new font is VERY nice.
ICONS - The icons included are- Box.info,Envelope.info, File.info,
Left.info, Middle.info, and Right.info. All are WorkBench fonts.
DMOUSE11 - The popular mouse utility from Matt Dillon, once more improved
and enhanced. Sunmouse, mouse accelerator, pointer blanker, screen
blanker, popcli, etc.

SLATE - Slate! will do the following.
Display a slate (surprise!) with the following items: Title, Scene,
Client, Director, Editor, Comments, Date, and Time
All items may be changed at any time, indivudally or together.
Display video Black for Initializing a tape for insert editing.
Start a reverse 10 count (with beeps).
Automagic Tape preping (10 sec slate w/ cal tone,5 sec black,10 count)
Audio Calibration Tone Toggle.
NNETMT - The program Neuron.c simulates a SIMPLE stable state neural network
reporting on both input and output states and energy levels after each
iteration (namely set up for 8, though usually the network stabilizes
after about 4). The program demonstrates a very straight-forward method
of programming a content-addressable memory and receiving output from
that memory. This program is based on a BASIC program developed in
Ed Rietman's book "Experiments in Artificial Neural Networks" published
by TAB Books copyright 1988.
PICS - A collection of pictures from various sources.
ATMCLK - AtomClock will dial the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C.,
readthe 1200 BAUD time signal their atomic clock puts out and set the
Amiga system clock accordingly. It runs from Workbench or CLI
(distribution archive is "SUPERFRIENDLY"). The default configuration
will work with a Hayes-type modem but parameters can be adjusted for
just about any modem. Good example of serial port access and reading
icon TOOLTYPES.
PCPATCH - Along with this file you should find two programs called 'PcC3.5'
and 'PcF3.5'. They are made to patch PCCopy and PCFormat respectively
from the 'EXTRAS 1.2' disk, to allow reading/writing/formatting 3.5 inch
360k (2 sides/40 Tracks/9 sectors) MS-DOS disks. In order to make the
programs work, put PcC3.5 and PCCopy, PcF3.5 and PCFormat into the same
directory. Patches are always applied in memory and not on disk, so you
may copy them directly into the Extras:PCUtil directory.
RADIO - This is an example of how 'radio buttons' could be implemented using
gadgets. I use the GadgetID and UserData fields of the gadget structure
to keep track of each set of radio buttons. When the user clicks on a
radio button a variable is set and an optional function is called with
the variable as an argument.

SURF - BezSurf (or Surf for short) is a program for producing bezier
surfaces of revolution. It produces awesome pictures of wineglasses and
doorknobs, and other objects one could turn on a lathe. BezSurf
includes the capacity to map iff image files onto any surface that it
can draw.
GRAPHITE - This is a 9-point font. Just copy this into your Fonts:Directory
PATHDEV - This is a program that will search your directories for you,
making PATH do more than it was intended to do!
APLOT13A - Amiga Plot is a three dimensional mathematical function plotter.
It takes a function, parses it into a partially compiled form and then
calculates coordinates to be placed in the xyz system. AmigaPlot uses
hidden line removal based on a principle known as the painters
algorithm. The use of color in the plot can produce very pleasing
effects especially when a feathered pallet is used. The idea of
AmigaPlot is to provide an artistic approach to the sometimes dry
subjects of Analytical Geometry and Trigonometry.
MOUSEZOOM - This is MouseZoom, a mouse accelerator for the Amiga. It doesn't
try to do everything under the sun (ala Mach16), it only speeds up the
mouse.
SS - This file contains the following : GrabViews, a one-shot screen save,
TimeSave, a timed screen-save program, and Memview, which scans memory
for bitmaps. This will save screens that are held in memory even though
they are not currently being displayed.
FIND11 - Will locate all instances of a filename (or wildcards) anywhere on
any currently mounted volume. Will search for a string in any file
system-wide, or in specified directory(s). Partial wildcarding of
directories to search/exclude.
ROBOTS - Two ray-traced robot pictures by Louis Markoya.

FRIEND - This is a screen hack - with a note hinting that it will give
your pointer some friends. Try it for yourself!
PLAYER - This is the most recent player for animations created with
TurboSilver.
SEARCH - The fabulous C128 has a very handy built-in debugger with a
lot of commands. The public domain debuggers from Amiga sources can do
a lot, but they don't have a decent Hunt (Find, Search) command that
could salvage "lost" files in memory after an accidental delete or
reset. SEARCH will let you reset the Amiga after a crash, search through
memory until you find your data (it does the searching), and then you
can save it to disk, reload it and go on with your work.
FREPAINT - This is a rather full featured, totally PD paint program. It
has a toolbox and permits you to do some rather nice work. And the
price is certainly right.
SHOWLOCKS - ShowLocks, show all locks on a volume. This file contains
both the source and an executable for a utility to show all of the locks
on an AmigaDOS volume. Type showlocks volume: or showlocks all to
run it.
MBRAIN - MBrain is a game, similar to MasterMind. It is attractively
presented, and can take up LOTS of your time!
SPINNER2 - A ray-traced animation, very attractive. Use it when you
can afford to power down. The file says you can get out with
Control-C, but I have not found this to be reliable in all cases.
TEXTER - A text formatter. It will strip, add, or swap CRs and LFs,
Strip spaces and/or tabs, remove REMarks from BASIC programs, Remove
or add blank lines, number pages, add or remove line numbers, put text
into two columns, reformat, format for BBS-PC, and will undo the last
action. Needs AmigaBasic from the Extraa disk.
WOF - The Wheel of Fortune game. We had an earlier version of this
game, which did not work very well. This one DOES work from the
supplied icon. Enjoy.
TICKER - Ticker will open an Intuition window which consists of a close
gadget, two depth gadgets and a drag bar. The current system time will
be continuously displayed upon the drag bar in twelve-hour format. The
window can be conveniently placed upon the Workbench Screen drag bar
where it will be out of your way.

TAROT - Tarot is a conversion from the Commodore 128. Though the program
lacks the graphics for the cards it still is a nice program and well
worth the port.
Access - This is version 1.42 of the popular Access! terminal program.
It is colorful, and has many features such as a review buffer, a file
reader, a simple scripting facility, auto dialing, repeat dialing, and
many, many more.
Shell2.11 - Matt Dillon's update to the shell program for which he is
quite well known. It provides screen editing, history, programmable
keys, and other needed features.
AZPtchD - Another terminal program. This is really the simpler Comm1.34
with a patch that handles z-modem for extra speed.
Pics - Three pictures from various sources.
Extract - This program will extract font data and put into C-source
so that it can be compiled into a program, thus eliminating the need
to include a special font, and the complicated instructions telling
your user how to install that font. Also, no need to clutter up the
user's font directory.
Storage4 - This will report on the amount of free storage for every
device in the Amiga - disks, RAM:, etc., and will give a warning when
the amount remaining reaches a low level.
FlIcon - There are three icons in this group, and their full name
is "Florida Icons". They are nice.
Dicons - These are disk icons, and are not readily 'viewable'. To
see them, copy "iconname.info" dfn:Disk.info and then remove and
re-insert the disk. It will now have the new icon on it.
Bandit - This is a working demo of Greg Campbell's terminal program. An
earlier version of this terminal was called GT. It is colorful, many-
featured, but quite cryptic. Not for the novice! But good.

DRAWER.
DiskX22 -This is the most recent release of Steve Tibbetts' excellent disk
editor. Use it to repair disks, or to snoop out interesting
things that might be hidden there. Instruction are included.
NoKlickStart - For A1000 owners who hate clicking disk drives. This
will patch your KickStart disk so that the click is eliminated (if you
have the right kind of drives. SOME A1010 drives will not respond to
this program, but it does work for most.)
SuperView2 - A favorite IFF viewer, updated, given many new abilities,
and working well with 1.3. SuperView will support overscan,
color-cycling, will show a whole directory of pictures at one time,
many things it would not do in the earlier version. This is a VERY
nice program!
FFSdsch - If you absolutely insist on using the FFS on your floppy
disks, this program is said to make the drive recognize that the disk
has been changed, something that does not happen without it.
UE24C - A VERY recent update to Rick Stiles' popular text editor - the
shareware version. This is a subset of his commercial version of the
program, and it is one of the most popular text editors, in either
version.
Clerk - The fourth version of this accounting program. It is actually
in use in several small businesses. It handles accounts payable,
accounts-receivable, general ledger, and some other bookkeeping chores.
It must be placed on its own disk in order to work, but instructions
are included.

AMAZE11 - This program will generate cute little mazes for you to solve, and
you solve them by moving the mouse along the path to the end.
Cute - not very hard, and a seemingly endless variety.
PICS - This is a drawer full of pictures that have appeared during the
month. Included are a very fine picture of a violin, one of a
forest scene, some flowers, and a page of flags. All are
of very high quality - many done with the scanner from ASDG.
AMIGANTT2.01 - AmiGantt was designed to create a simple, interactive
method of outlining the tasks required to complete a particular
project, using the GANTT chart as the input format. This is a fine
tool for project management, and version 2.01 is greatly enhanced over
the one on an earlier disk. Requires ARP library.
CHESS - A chess game, with graphics, written in BASIC. The BASIC code is
included, so you can make changes if you wish.
ICONLAB2 - This utility will change any icon from one type to another, such
as changing a tool icon to a disk icon. It will let you split
alternate-icons into two separate ones, or it will take two icons
and join them, or will take two DPaint brushes and make icons from
them to make a first and alternate. It has a really large window
so you can view extremely large icons. Other features as well.

CONTENTS ScopeDisk40
Musician - This program will show you a picture of a keyboard, on which
you can actually play, using the music system in the Amiga. You
can have piano, or drums, or both. Music can be saved or loaded
and a help screen is included as part of the program. Nice
graphics, and fun to play.
Showfont31 - An improved version of the ShowFont program on an earlier disk.
This program will open a window, read your fonts: directory into
a requester in that window, and you may select any font which
will then be displayed in the window. No need to load a paing
or DTP program to view the characters in a font. Nice.
AmigaForth - The file says, AmigaForth.blk, and is an implementation of the
Forth programming language for the Amiga.
WBDepth - This program will change the number of planes assigned to your
WorkBench screen, and can do it 'on the fly'. With one bitplane,
you get two colors; two bitplanes, four colors, three bit-planes,
eight colors, etc. Interesting program!
m2du371 - This directory utility is extremely capable, and has been revised
since the release of 1.3 so that it now handles the script and
pure protection bits properly. If there is anything this utility
cannot do, there are extra gadgets you can set up to your own
taste - and it is PUBLIC DOMAIN, not shareware.
CR20 - ClickRead was designed as a text file reader for the ".doc' files
that often accompany programs. It is a small program, suitable
for keeping in the C: directory, but has nice features such as a
slide gadget for positioning in the text, buttons for scrolling,
a search mode, and a 'park' mode that gets it out of the way. A
very nice little utility.
SpToy - The original SpeechToy, written by Dave Lucas, has been enhanced
by Rob Peck. It can now read and write its own icon with the
defaults you have set, has a menu item to save the current
speech settings, can be started from either WB or CLI, and
can read the default values in the icon even if run from the CLI.
ZoePlay - A PD-player for the new animation program, ZoeTrope. This player
will be necessary to view the animations for those who do not
purchase the program. Lessee now - you need a player for each of
the animation programs, and I think that is up to about six.
Shall we make a disk of players?
SMORSE - This file contains the source, but it is sparsely documented. I
know only that it sends Morse code, and I think it sends it through
the sound channels from input at the keyboard. An adventure
for you - find out how it works!
TETRIX - This game originated in Russia. It is available in PD forms for
several computers, and the source is in public domain, but there
are commercial versions from Spectrum HoloByte for the IBM and the
MacIntosh. This is an Amiga port of the public domain code.
WARP2.0 - The author of Warp is unknown, but the program will make an
archive of an entire disk, preserving the exact structure in
much the same way as making a backup will do. It is simple
to use: To read it, type "WARP 0 79 Name", and to write
the archived version out, "WARP write name". Can be used for
less than a full disk, too, by specifying the tracks to be
read or written.
KICKTOYS - This set of three programs will let you study the kickstart
routines. Here are some tools to use for exploring the mysteries
of the kickstart-
Kickunload --------- reads the kickstart disk and creats a file ks.bin
which you can peruse with newzap.
Kick_snatch -------- reads the kickstart image resident in memory
and creates a file ram:ks.bin
which you can peruse with newzap.
Kick_split -------- divides the 256k file into 4 64k X 8 files,
suitable for programming into 27512 eproms.
LS21 - A Unix-style list utility that permits various types of sorts
and other options that give many of the features of both LIST

technical analysis on stocks. The current version provides you
with the facilities to input the high, low, close, and volume of
stock prices on a daily basis; display the data for the latest
six months; rescale the charts; and draw trend lines.
Additionally, information on short -term trends in the market can
be tracked through use the put -call ratio graphs.
HDemo - This is one of those European demos that do marvelous things with
Copper lists and such. This one behaves a bit better than some,
and you can put your own text into a file and have it display
your text in its strange and marvelous ways.
AmiBug - Screen hack. This one has a little bug that crawls across the
screen at random intervals.
Xoper12 - A system monitor to end all monitors! It will report to you
about almost anything that is operating in the system, and with
extensive information about each. It can cancel a task that has died
on you, change the priority of anything in the system, and much more.
Ledger12 - The Ledger provides a simplified approach for your financial
record keeping requirements. You can use the system for a
variety of purposes, such as keeping track of bank accounts,
credit cards, accounts recievable, accounts payable, and income
and expenses for your club. You may establish any number of
accounts (limited only by disk space) and enter debit or credit
transactions as they occur. As transactions are entered, a
running balance is provided at the bottom of the screen. An
option is provided that will allow you to print a statement for
any given account.
cahd - The latest Commodore hard disk device. For some hard disks,
this is an absolute necessity.
FlySnuff - A game - snuff out the flies.
SnipIt12 - This is one of the most useful programs to come to me. With
a keystroke, it snips text from any window that is open, and lets
you paste it into any other window that is expecting output. How
about snipping a directory from the CLI window and pasting it into
an editor, such as this? Or text from a terminal window, pasted
to an editor for saving? Or keyboard input that you don't want
to type repeatedly? Great program.
HandyIcon - Another of the "neatest things of the year", this one adds
an extra menu strip to the Workbench. Once installed, you can
click the icon of any program and the icon for HandyIcon, and it
will add that program to the menu. After it is added and saved,
you can just select that item from the menu without having to
open all those extra windows on the screen. This version has
been patched to work properly with 1.3 ROMs.

a small set of editing functions (like "move", "size", and "rotate").
While drawing and editing, the user can call on other functions
to modify the display. There are several printer drivers
including one for the StarSG-10.
STUD - This is a stud poker game written by Griff Jackson of Plano.
Written in AmigaBASIC, then compiled for easy use and speed.
ULTRAP - Shareware - $15. This is a paint program, and appears to be quite
capable. It has most of the features one would expect a paint
program to have, such as boxes, circles, fills, zoom, etc. The
save function is disabled in this demo, but will be on the disk
you get if you send the $15.
HANDSHAKE212A - Shareware terminal program. This program has one of the
best implementations of Vt100/52/102 according to many who use
those terminals regularly. It also supports Kermit, XModem,
YModem, and Ymodem batch. It has an autodial, phone directory,
and other handy features frequently not found in programs that
support these protocols. Very nice program!
EXTRACTFONT12 - This program will extract the data from any standard Amiga
font and create C source from it so that it can be linked with
a program. This eliminates the necessity of requiring a user to
copy a specific font into his fonts - directory in order to use your
program. The font becomes an integral part of the program itself.
Included are a sample font to be changed to source, and a sample
program that will use the font. If you are going to require a
user to have a specific font for your program PLEASE do it this
way!! Our fonts - directories and boot disks are too full to keep
adding and adding and adding.

ALPHASTAT - AlphaStat is a program that performs a variety of statistical
functions on a user-created database. It is designed to perform
descriptive,bivariate, and multivariate analysis on databases both small
and large.While I have tried to make the package useful for anyone who
might need to add a little number crunching power to their Amiga, it was
really put together with social science research in mind. AlphaStat will
probably be most useful to students, social workers, and others who have
a need for computer analysis of large bodies of data. And while
AlphaStat doesn't have the features of the higher end statistical
packages (conical rotations,advanced factor analysis, etc.) it can also
serve as a limited aid to more serious researchers.
DISKSALV132 -DiskSalv V1.32 is a disk recovery program for all Amiga file
system devices that use either the AmigaOS V1.2/V1.3 Standard File
System or the AmigaOS V1.3 Fast File System. DiskSalv will scan a bad
disk volume for anything that can be recovered, and will restore these
items to any AmigaDOS volume. It does not make any attempt to fix the
bad device in place; thus, any file that can't be restored with DiskSalv
might possibly be restored with an alternate method.
Several bugs were fixed since the last version.
DISKX22a -This special edition of DiskX adds a "bootsave" feature that will
let you store boot blocks of protected commercial software, to protect
them should a virus attack the original.
DiskX lets you view the disk in a block-by-block format. It also lets
you find strings of text anywhere on the disk, find the first block of
any file, to view each block either as the mass of hex numbers it really
is, and to view the block as what it represents to AmigaDOS (i.e., file
header block, user directory block and such. The different block types
there can befound in the AmigaDOS Manual by Bantam Books.
EFJ - ESCAPE FROM JOVI is a joystick controlled agility-based game,
featuring multilevel, editable levels, real inertia and gravity
effects, two-way, hires scrolling, animated sprites, digital sound,

pyramid missiles with the bumps to contend with and get in range to fire
your guided missile at the control pyramid ? But even then your missile
is damaged and hard to control. Requires a joystick in Port #2.
SCREENX22 -ScreenX's major functions are - It provides a small clock and
memory counter if you want to use it; cycles screens so you can get
to those that are behind, even if the front screen has no depth
gadget; and provides an easy way to save a screen to an IFF file
or send it to the printer.

BOOTUNE - The purpose of Bootune is to put an easily recognizable
boot track on your disk, which would be a likely target for a virus.
Thus, when you don't get the standard boot tune, you know the workbench
(or whatever) is infected. Of course, this won't work on programs which
need their own special boot tracks (either for copy protection or
just out of a structural need). Bootune also flashes the screen from
time to time in case you don't have the audio connected.
BOUNCE - This is an animation done with TurboSilver. To run the animation,
cd to this directory and type
player Bounce.ani
FONTS - This file includes a number of large headline-type fonts, useful
for desk-top publishing, titling, and many other purposes.
MAGICSQR - This is a game, based on one of the electronic games from
MERLIN. The object of the game is to select a sequence of pattern
changes that will result in generating a magic square. Instructions
and suggestions are included.
WRITUTILS - This is a collection of small utilities from Matt Dillon, each
designed to do one specific task, such as add a carriage return at the
end of each line, to remove carriage returns from the ends of the
lines, to find a file, to compare two files and report the
differences,and one or two others.

STRIPES - Stripes is a program that will create a multi-shaded
effect for your workbench screen. With the program you have
complete control of the effects that you want.
DLABEL - DLabel is a simple but useful utility for printing 3.5" disk labels
with an IBM compatible printer. Its use is self-explanatory --
simply click on the CLEAR gadget to erase the startup text, enter
your data, and click the PRINT gadget to send it to your printer.
*** Note that DLabel works only with IBM compatible printers!
EDIBLE2 - This program will do many things to modify a file in order
to make it EDible. First, it will remove all characters that ED
cannot handle. It will also remove the CR/LFs of many files as when
using ED, only LFs are needed and CR/LFs will leave lots of messy
double spacing in the file. To get usage of the program, just type
EDible. An optional third comment may be added if you like. This can
be a number from 0-255. It will tell the program the maximum line
length you want.
RULER3 - Opens a borderless WorkBench window in which is contained a ruler
for the purpose of aligning or constraining text; the default ruler
is 30 characters intended to help prevent entering too-long filenames.
The program will automatically adjust itself to fit your personal
screen configuration (ie. MoreRows).
MFFCIS - These are some AREXX programs to help you manage Compuserve data
libraries using Microfiche Filer and AREXX. These will take WHAP TAPCIS
".CAT" files and put them into a MFF database. Duplicates may be
deleted. Also included is a MFF database of the AmigaTech library with
uploads from July to mid-December -- Art Steinmetz
PICS - Just to look at !! Includes the AMY500 pic.
AMY500 - This is a picture of the Amiga 500 from the INSIDE. Shows the main
board, chip locations, and board layout. This picture comes from one of
those "Utility" disks from Europe called "The Firm", so the original
artist is not known. I just captured the picture, added the 68000 CPU
which was missing, touched up Fat Agnus a little, and added the labels.
Let me know if the labels are not right because its been awhile since I
have opened up a 500. John Gager
SIMPLE - A very simple ARexx macro for TxEd+ to show beginners how to go
through a file doing things until the file is finished. Highly
commented I deleted the comments and resaved it as Template.txed, so I
can use it as a starting point and memory-jogger for the few occasions
when I need to write a macro. For beginners only.

DSDELUXE - Disk Storage Deluxe displays more info about floppies, hard disks
ram, etc. than you every need to know. Its window will pop up on ANY
screen. Warns you when free storage in any device drops below a
specific level by flashing, beeping, a requester, or speaking! This is
the 'Deluxe' version of the old Disk Storage with many new things and
it is very robust now. Definitely something you shouldn't miss. Get
it! Khalid.
MAXCLI - For those of you who don't know, AmigaDOS has a ceiling of 20 for
the maximum number of CLI's you can have open at once. Well, this
little utility that fits nicely at the top of your s-s changes that to
255, which is more than even the most memory-rich user will probably
ever need.
FONTS - Four more fonts Florence,San Diego,ST and Steelbrush
A3000 - A "what-if" sketch of the way someone else would have designed it!!
COLOURTEXT - This program wedges the standard Amiga Text() call to provide
support for ColorFonts(tm). ColorFonts(tm) is the multi-colored Amiga
font standard developed by Interactive Softworks. ColorFont(tm)
characters can have from 2 to 16 different colors, and are generally
created by using InterActive Softworks Calligrapher program.
The ColorFonts(tm) standard has been adopted as part of the V1.4 Amiga
Operating System.
FILETYPE - Identifies the type of files by examining the first 512 bytes
and using heuristics (i.e. it guesses). For instance, it distinguishes
C programs from Assembly from Modula II from Smalltalk from English text
it knows about the different icon types, device drivers, libraries,
Aztec file types, arc, zoo, IFF files, etc. I did my best to have it
recognize every file type I could get my hands on. Currently works only
from the cli.
REXXARP21 - This is for now the last release of rexxarplib.library. A
couple of new functions, a few were extended, and one or two were
slightly modified.The nicest new feature is the ability to display IFF
files. For this you will need Christian Weber's iff.library, though. It
is available on BIX as iff153.zoo: I have not included it in this
archive.

TVUtil - This program allows you to create your own schedule for TV Sports:
Football if you get tired of the "standard" schedule on the original
disk or if you wish to create a schedule for an NFL season as yet
unplayed or a season of the past. The editor gives you the oppor-
tunity to change several aspects of any league disk for TV Sports:
Football. It holds several advantages over the editor in the
original game. One advantage is that it is much faster than
the editor in the game, which is very slow responding to keyboard
input. Another advantage is that you do not have to concern
yourself with the "rank" of each player. Any player can have any
ability rated from 1 to 8. The most significant advantage is that
you can change the jersey colors of teams if you prefer one over
another.
MJ-PGS - The programs in this group are in AmigaBasic and designed to
generate and plot Mandelbrot and Julia sets. The time-critical
iteration routine of the generator (MJ.Gen_T) is written in assembly
language by Martin F. Combs. An addition innovation by Martin is
that the ML program operates on long integers which are derived by
multiplying input parameters by 2^28. As a result, the pro-
gram is extremely fast (about 3 times as fast as the usual
Mandelbrot programs written in C, available as PD or Shareware).
LOCKS - This is a tiny program that will remove any unneeded locks retained
in the system. Have disk icons hanging around even after you have
reformatted the disks? Locks will let them go away. System keep
demanding a disk you no longer have, or a directory you have deleted?
use Locks. Type "LOCKS" in a cli window for usage.
FLIP - Flip is a screen hack, but not the same as the one that was popular
a year or so ago. This one resides in a tiny window in the tile bar
anmd flips the screen from time to time - random sequence.
BATMAN - The Batman composite picture was created by modifying the
"head.scene" that came with the Sculpt 3D program, ray tracing the basic
scene from five different angles mostly in "snapshot" mode, and then
combining these pics into one picture using Digi-paint.
SCSIDOS3.0 - This will be useful to anyone who has a C-Ltd. hard disk. This
is the latest version of low-level formatter for those disks, and
was said to have cured many problems.
ICONS - Icons for many of the most-used items of Amiga software - things
like DPaint, Meshugnea, and about ten others.
VTONT - VTOT is a collection of effects useful when recording Amiga output
onto video tape. It can run in the background, and the commands
are available at any time. There are three types of commands -
Display, Effects and Miscellaneous. the DISPLAY commands give control
over colors, etc. Effects will negate colors, or do flips and fades.
Miscellaneous commands give control over window size and display modes.
These tools were written by Mike Berro of MicroIllusions, and placed
in public domain.
MEd24 - Version 2.4 of a freely distributable editor.
Med is a text editor written e specially for the Amiga. Uses
the features of the Amiga with a view to make a programm user-
friendly. It works with the mouse and menus, and can edit up to
36 texts at one time.
Packit - A file packer for disks. Type "PACKIT ?" in a cli window for usage
Main task is to take all files and pack into 1 for use with a modem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS, ScopeDisk48
3D-ICONS - The author of this file was impressed with the icons on the NeXt
machine. He made these for his Amiga. You'll find a number of
icons for each "type" and "name" disk device you have. Simply
copy the appropriate .info file to the disk and rename DISK.INFO
as you copy it. To aid in seeing what each icon looks like, I've
included a picture file. View it with any IFF ILBM picture
viewing utility.
AUTO13 - This patch is for those of us without auto-config. The patch is
added to the Kickstart disk, performing the ADDMEM function whenever
a "cold boot" is performed. The Kickstart execution of ADDMEM
should eliminate the problems some RAM experience with ADDMEM and
recoverable RAM disks (RRD, VD0- , Survivor, etc.).
CAT&MOUSE - Cat & Mouse is a game of hand/eye coordination. The aim of the
game is very simple- STAY ALIVE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. BUT (because
there always has to be a BUT) as in real life, the more you eat the
slower you will go and that's what your deadly opponents the Cats
are hoping for. Also, if you don't eat enought you will loose your
reserves of energy and either die or get caught. Also like in real
life, you only have one life to live...
DISKSTICK - This is a program designed for printing labels for 3 1/2" disks.
It opens a window, reads the directories, provides for editing,
offers a choice of print pitch, multiple or single column, and
automatically prints the disk name and label.
DST11 - This is a small program that will run from either the WB or CLI.
It will display a list of ALL currently mounted devices, including
hard disk partitions on the Workbench screen, i.e. it does not
have its own window, so you have no way of communicating with it.
That also means that it takes very little memory (no chip mem at
all) and very little processor time.
EASYMENU - This is a programming routine that will create a menu
to be used in your own programs. Very short, source only.
HELPWP - WordPerfect Helper - this will put a bar on the bottom line of the
screen showing the Function Key definitions for WordPerfect. Press
one of the qualifier - keys and the display changes to show what the
function key does with that qualifier. Saves lots of searching
on that tiny template they send you.
RUNBACK3 - This is an altered version of Rob Peck's fine program, RunBack.
RunBack, similar to Run, allows you to startup a CLI program and
let it run in the background. Unlike Run, however, RunBack allows
the original CLI to be closed. Run would hang the CLI if you did this.
Also unlike Run, the old RunBack did not search your command search
path; you always had to specify the complete pathname of your command.
This new version eliminates this hassle - - it searches your path.
SCREENHACKS - Two of them - CloseMe, a window that just won't close, and
some other tricks, besides. Also, EW14. You saw Exploding
Windows a few months ago, and now it is better.
SETFONT2.5 - This is an update to Dave Haynie's popular SetFont program.
SetFont V2.5 is a public domain program designed to allow the system
font of the Amiga to be changed in various different ways. The
program is called from a shell or startup - sequence script, and has
the form - SetFont [fontname [point [places]]]
Almost any diskfont of suitable size can be used.
SHOWFONT32 - December 88 update to this program, which will display all
characters of a diskfont in a window on the screen. It works
quickly, and its window goes away after you are through. It
puts a requester on the screen, from which you may select the
name and size of the font to be viewed.
QuickLens - QuickLens v2.03 is a program that magnifies portions of any
screen. It demonstrates some very fast bit manipulation techniques.
Written by Mike Berro, it is based on "Lens" by Ned Konz. v2.03 has
Magnify and NextScreen gadgets. QLens automatically vacates any
closing screen.
TTT - a 3-dimensional tic-tac-toe game on a board of 4 levels each board
has 16 squares all displayed in perspective.
Asteroids - Asteriods loads all of its images from a single IFF/ILBM
file called "template.ilbm". If you don't like any or all of the
shapes of the asteroids or ships just edit this file. The images
must remain the same size as before and be roughly circular
(collision detection is based on circular objects). Sounds are
loaded from a set of IFF/8SVX sound files which you can also change
to your liking.

UEDIT24GS - Uedit is an editor for technical users. It has many
wordprocessing features.
In developing and enhancing Uedit, the aims have been for the user to -
o Be able to work without bumping into limits of power and capacity;
o Be able to automate repetitive work, eliminate tedium, save time;
o Be rid of the irritation of wasted keystrokes and stodgy performance;
o Be able to customize the environment fully;
o Be able to create, on the spot, new capabilities that are needed.
TILES - Tiles! is your basic no-frills Shanghai-type game. A board is
covered with a set of 144 tiles, 36 different suits of 4 identical
tiles, each with a picture on it. The object is to remove all the tiles
2 at a time, by matching pairs of identical tiles. Select one tile and
it becomes hilighted. Select another matching tile and they both are
removed from the board. The catch is that you can only select tiles
which are on the end of horizontal rows. Some rows are on top of other
rows, but you can match tiles on different levels.
GARYICONS - This is a large set of icons. Includes term prog icons.
General interest, a bee?, some music and others.
EETART - This file contains a number of pictures drawn by artist Jim
Williams, who prefers to be called 'Eet'. Eet was born in Hurst, and
lived in one of the north Dallas suburbs before moving to Iowa. These
pictures include several cartoon types and some logos. These are all
original art - not digitized.

BAM12 - This program is a complete setup for a SuperBASE PRO database
program. The author wrote this program to fill a specific need he had
to manage the individual checks that he deposit into the bank. He is a
freelance musician, and his income is from many different sources. He
needed a way to keep track of what he has and has not been paid for.
BANK ACCOUNT MANAGER was born from this need.
BROWSER16 - This is one of the most useful programs I have found in public
domain - though it is released this time as shareware, no specific
amount suggested. It permits you to have your directories onscreen in
a text window rather than an iconic one. It lists ALL files, not just
those that have icons. You can use the Workbench utilities for copying,
deleting, renaming, etc. This updated version permits you to make
additional pull-down menus, and to start programs by selecting them from
the menus. These can be set up as you work, or can be stored in your
startup sequence and be ready always.
CORSAIR - Very nice picture of a Corsair - especially nice use of the
cycling feature of DPaint to imitate animation.
DIRARC - If you have arced files on disks, this is a must for you! This
will read directories or disks of arced files and prepare DirMaster
compatible files. You can then read the file into DirMaster to find,
list, print, and otherwise manage your arced library.
DMPATCH -On January 1, 1989, the popular disk utility program 'DiskMaster'
developed a problem. It would display any date after Dec 31 1988 as Dec
99,9999. Although all files were date stamped correctly, this was an
annoying problem. DatePatch will correct this problem on all version
1.0 DiskMaster programs.
DPLAZ - This one came without any documentation, but is said to prepare
your IFF pictures for printing with a postscript printer.
EARPLAY - This is a fairly simple, MIDI keyboard-controlled ear training
program EarPlay currently gives practice in the recognition of melodic
intervals only, i.e. hearing and identifying intervals in sequence. When
you begin the actual practice, the program will play a sequence of one
or more intervals. After hearing the sequence, you should then play on
the keyboard the notes you think you heard.
GEOTIME - Geotime actually consists of two separate programs, Geotime_m
depicts a earth map with day and nite sides shaded. You'll be able to
observe the earth's shadow scroll across the map in real-time based on
the system clock. The other program, Geotime_g is a workbench clock,
and shows the earth as a globe with day and nite sides. Like the map,
the shadows will progress in real-time showing the current phase of the
earth.
NAKAMOTO - This is a Jumpman-type game, and you can edit or make your
own screens with the included editor.
PRINT - Print will open a window, and show the complete status, during the
printing, like....
1) Indicates the name of the file and exact length of the file.
2) Indicates the exact amount of the file (bytes sent) that was
received and verified by the printer.
3) A status bar (scale) that indicates the percentage (0% to 100%) of
the file that is printed so far.
4) And an 'Abort' gadget to abort the printing of the file.
SORRY - This is the Amiga version of the board game, Sorry! The graphics
are nice, and the game works well. From 1 to 4 players can participate.
STMP - 'Stamp' will rename a file to the same name but with a date/time
stamp. This program is very useful when you want to keep files that
always get written over by a program. In programming, you could use it
for source code files or for executables, or any other use, like online
capture files, etc.
ZERG - An adventure game, similar to Ultima. This is a role-playing
adventure in which you set up characters and explore with them.
ZPATCH - This is a patch that repairs the broken date function in
ZOO2.0. If the dates in ZOO are a problem to you, this will fix it.

COLORLAB -This program will let you take a color picture in any resolution
except HAM, modify the picture to show how it will appear in black and
white,and then let you print it on your printer. Useful for making
printouts of color pictures on a b/w printer, but it will also let you
modify the colors in an IFF image.
WPUTIL - Utilities written by WordPerfect Corporation for use with
WordPerfect. One is a file converter, that converts text from other
word processors to WordPerfect. The other is a macro-editor, making it
easy for you to set up macros to make WordPerfect easier to use. A
number of extremely useful macros are included. I especially like the
one that lets you change the default directory without reloading.
DPLAZ - An earlier version of this one was called CLAZ. It lets you
control a laser printer from the Amiga, giving you considerable control
over the output. DPLAZ is a primitive (very primitive right now)
typesetting^M program for the Amiga. It will allow you to arrange and
print IFF pictures on a POSTSCRIPT laser printer. Currently the user
interface is somewhat unfriendly, but functional. This program is
similar in nature to "CLAZ",
FASTDISK - This program will copy your disk to a blank one, and while
copying it will rearrange the disk to make it work faster. Directories
may be from three to five times as fast after using FastDisk.
MACH25 - This is an update to the popular mouse program MACHII. The new
version has a "SETMACH" program to set up your configuration(s), which
will then be loaded by MACH when you use it. A window shuffler has
been added, as has the ability to change your preferences from the MACH
program. The other abilities include mouse blanking, popcli, screen
blanking after non-use, hot keys, sunmouse, mouse acceleration, and
others.
SRT - This program installs a wedge into AutoRequest for the purpose of
replacing the text of standard system requesters. If your replacement
text for "Software error - task held" is "DEBUG", SRT will replace those
useless Software Error requesters with a full width display of the PC,
SP, registers, task address, and name of the task/command/process that
crashed. A sample file of replacement text is included, but you can
replace the error messages with any text you want.
WCS - This is an adventure game WilliConstructionSet, with an editor for
creating your own screens and levels. It was recently featured in INFO
magazine in an article by Harv Laser. This is an updated version with
faster operation and more new features, plus some bug fixes.

A68K24 - Version 2.4 of Charlie Gibbs' freely distributable assembler for
the Amiga. This assembler has been constantly groomed and enhanced,
and is now the assembler of choice for many who consider it to be better
than the commercially available ones. It does not have the includes,
of course,but those come with all compilers. You can use SMALL.LIB
from the Butterfield Assembler disk in our library, or you can order
the includes from Commodore for $20. This is a VERY nice assembler!
ADD21K - The 21K is added by removing all but two colors from your
workbench screen. If space is really tight, though, it might let you
run something that would otherwise be impossible.
APP - APP is a preprocessor for the 68000 assembler that comes with Aztec C
for the Amiga. It will probably work with other 68000 assemblers. APP
provides structured programming constructs for the assembly language
programmer. Specifically, APP provides support for IF-THEN-ELSE-
ELSEIF- ENDIF constructs and for DO-WHILE-UNTIL-ENDDO constructs.
ONEPLANE - This program is very similar to the ADD21K, from a different
author. It reduces the Workbench to a single plane, making it have only
two colors, but reducing the amount of memory required. Could be very
useful in tight memory times.
TETRIX - Version 1.1 of the Russian game, Tetrix. There is a commercial
version of this game, called Tetris. The game consists of a 'pit' with
blocks falling into it. Your job - keep the pit from filling up. You
do this by aligning the blocks so that no empty spaces are left. When
an entire row is filled, that row is removed, leaving extra space at the
top of the pit. This game can be very addictive!
TS - The utility provided here will request the correct time and date from
TimeSaver and update the internal Amiga Clock. This utility will work
in all situations and with any combination of settings activated within
TimeSaver. The Tickler will get and set the time properly even if
the TimeSaver is totally turned off.
TUTOR - To use this, you must first make a Workbench disk to hold it and
then copy this file to the Workbench. This Tutor will teach you to use
the CLI commands. The screen will be split, with the instructions in
one half and the practice in the other, so that you can practice the
commands and see them work as you go through the lessons.
XLISP - XLISP is an experimental programming language combining some of
the features of Common Lisp with an object-oriented extension
capability. It was implemented to allow experimentation with object
oriented programming on small computers. There are currently
implementations of XLISP running on the IBM- PC and clones under MS-DOS,
on the Macintosh, the Atari-ST and the Amiga. It is completely written
in the programming language 'C' and is easily extended with user written
built-in functions and classes. It is available in source form to non
commercial users.

GO - The object of this games is to claim territory by surrounding
it with your stones. Stones are removed from the board when
all adjacent (but not necessarily diagonally adjacent)
positions are occupied by the opponent. One point is
awarded for each point of territory and for each captured
stone.
HUMBIRD1.3 - There is however one catch, You must have a NewShell window
open with "AmigaShell" as it's window title, since this is the
window title we key on to find out how to change the pointer.
Not the greatest, but it works!!!
KLONDIKE20 - Card game writtin in BASIC by David Addison, enhanced by John
Everett. This warning came from John's documentation -
WARNING -
I told my wife I was going to warn everybody that this game was
addicting. Her comment - "I don't think its addicting. I've been
playing it 14 hours a day for three weeks now, and I can quit anytime
I want to!"
MOREROWS - An update to a much earlier disk. Enables more rows and columns
to be displayed on the screen than is otherwise posible.
MultiVue - This prog will read graphics files in various formats including
Amiga IFF Amiga ACBM (Amiga continuous bitmap), Atari St (DEGAS elite
and NEOchrome), Macintosh and some specials ALSO it will write the same
formats AND create giant icons.....
LPlayer - Will play a digitized sound sample that is bigger than the normal
800k that can be got on a standard disk.
Time - Displays the time in its own tiny window and has close and drag
gadgets. Time was written in assembler and was optimized for speed
and size.
CloseMe - A display hack that comes up in its own screen. Otherwise...
This program opens up a screen of its own unless you run it
from the CLI with a -w switch on the command line. For some
reason, it bogs down horribly when running on the Workbench
screen, and steals some memory that it never gives back,
although it behaves itself when run in a screen of its own.
AutoMount - Will automatically mount all the entries in your devs mountlist
file. Should speed up the startup-sequence. Yawn.
Pics - Picture of 2 US Airforce F14 Corsairs flying over a dserert
terrain. Digitised by the look of the pics. Very nice.
Sh - The program knows four simple sh commands: echo, cat, sed, and exit.
The version of sed that I've implemented is SEVERELY limited, but does
manage to unshar all of the shar files I've seen which use sed. If sh
finds any other commands, it ignores them.
ClIcon - Basically an Icon executer for Cli programs. All created icons
must be Project icons, not Tool or other icons. If you don't have a
project icon handy just use say NotePad from your WB disk.
ReSource - A demo of an interactive disassembler for the Amiga. Adds
labels and generally translates assembler into something meaningful.
Useful when its the other guys code.
MemMoMeter - Based on an earlier proggy called Frags. This one is 3 columns
showingchip, fast and slow'fast' mem. Like the gauges on the usual
windows.

PLOTXY - A 2-D plotting program that plots X and Y points from a file on
several types of graphs.
ANSIPAINT - Lets you create ONE screen of text including ANSI backgrounds
any embellishment (underline, boldface, etc) using any background or

DiskCh - Check scans the filesystem specified by "volume" for
inconsistencies. All errors in the file structure, including any
found in the AmigaDos redundancy information are reported.
AddIcon - This is a little utility program which will 'create' (actually
'clone') icons for files which do not already have one.
UnDelete - undeletes a file. You MUST know the name of the file you want to
undelete. After the file is undeleted, you will find it in the selected
drive. Also undelete renames the file by appending the block # on the
end of the orig. filename. Oh yea, one other thing. If you use the
VDK: or VD0: version, make sure that the device is present before
trying to undelete to that device.

DIRK2 - This program uses the colors of the WBench to show you the state of
the system. The workbench background color changes from blue through
purple to red as the amount of free memory decreases.
The workbench detail color (the color of text and Workbench
window borders) changes from bright white to gray as the
number of system tasks increases. Further, the yellow
content of this color is increased according to the number
of active tasks.
EXTBAL - This is an AmigaBASIC program that does computations for external
ballistics. You must load AmigaBASIC before you can use the program.

SHANIM54 - Latest in a series of players for animations. This one can be
operated from an icon, and a doc file tells you how to set the
tooltypes for the icon. It is said to accept more than one file name
now, and to play the animations sequentially.
LANDSCAPE - Two ray-traced landscapes. Very sci-fi and looks like a bad
case of something from a comic.
MUSERIAL - Bryce Nesbitt posted this material to Usenet. It describes the
way multiple serial ports will work under 1.4, and suggests some ways
of making use of this new feature.
TUNNEL - Unusual visual effects of a spiral coming towards you with colors
cycling- truly reminds one of a tunnel.

CONTENTS ScopeDisk56
ATODAY73 - This is a recent issue of an online magazine. It contains some
product reviews, wild rumors, and a couple of good articles. One on
the writing of scripts is quite good.
CHOOSE - You may choose between two startup-sequence paths. Choose will
pause long enough for you to request the alternate path. If no
response is given, it will automatically take the default path.
DSD11 - This is a small program that will run from either the WB or CLI.
It will open its own window and display a list of ALL currently mounted
devices, including hard disk partitions. In this update, Khalid has
added two major new items - Save Config and Save Devices. Also, DSD has
been improved to run around 5 times faster. One of the nicest features
of DSD is that it will warn you when storage space reaches a point that
you have previously determined.
HIDDENKEYS - This is a text file that tells you how to use the CTRL-J and
CTRL-X keys to make your CLI life easier. The CTRL-J was new to me!
PCDISK - Two .BAT files for your bridgeboard make it simple to transfer
files between the Amiga and the IBM-side.
PMGRAPHICS - This file was uploaded to Excalibur by Stephen Schaub of our
club. It is a file of clipart for the PrintMaster program -Included in
are clipart collections dealing with the history of the U.S., history
of modern art and writing, historical technological innovations, and
pictures dealing with U. S. politics.
RMAND - You might say this is yet another Mandelbrot program, but it is an
especially fast one, The main purpose of this program is to speed up
the computation of the Mandelbrot set, especially when the iteration
counts are high and there is a lot of "black" on the screen (the
"black" represents the points within the set).
TEMPLE - Here is a ray-traced picture, made with Turbo Silver, showing the
columns of a temple and other scenery.
UNDELETE - There was no documentation with this program, but it is supposed
to be a different undelete program from the one we had a few months ago.
Anyway, we all need to ability to undelete a file sometimes, so here
'tis.
VIRUSX32 - The virus makers have been very busy, apparently. VirusX32 was
released mainly to correct a bug in the last version, but in the
meantime more virii surfaced, and this one now protects you from about
16 of them.

CONTENTS ScopeDisk57
514DRIVE - Here are a text file and a schematic that show you how to adapt
any IBM 5 1/4" drive to work on your Amiga. Requires a bit of skill,
but this tells you how, parts needed, etc.
EXPAND - The source and executables are included here. This is a program
that is compatible with COMPRESS, and is said to be far more efficient.
EXPCPY - ExpressCopy is a new harddisk backup utility - but it is also
useful for copying any directories, disks, etc. It can copy about 1M
per minute, and can alternate between up to 4 drives. It does not
compress the data, so the backup disks are still usable normally in
case of emergency. This is a working demo version of the commercial
program.
FONTS - This is not a collection of fonts, but is a font utility. It will
give you a list of all the fonts in the system (memory or disk) and
all of the information the Amiga has about those fonts. You can
select the information you want to know by parameters at runtime.
IPC - You need a compiler to make this one work, but this is a version of
the IPC software that the Usenet group have been working on for a year
or so. These procedures provide a mechanism for independent processes
to communicate with each other through "IPC ports". This is similar in
some ways to the popular commercial product AREXX. Works differently,
but similar purpose.
IVIEW - "IView" is the first "show" program for the Amiga which can display
normal IFF/ILBM standard or overscan pictures, in addition to RGBN
pictures generated by Turbo Silver (all versions) AND "3DPX" Stereo 3D
pictures that are generated by Turbo Silver-SV and Haitex X-Specs
software.
NATURE - This is a stereoscopic raytrace picture rendered with Turbo Silver.
It can be viewed with either the Haitex X-Specs 3D glasses or the new
Turbo Silver-SV Sega interface. The picture depicts two insects,
some leaves and ferns.
PDMAKE - Another one for those of you with C compilers. This is a public
domain MAKE utility, but you must compile it before it will work.
PEEL2 - Peel is a program which takes a lo-res IFF picture and peels the
image off the screen, while showing the back side of the image. Like
tape being pulled off glass. This peeling starts in the lower right
corner and leaves the background (Color 0) behind.
TREKTRIVIA - Test your knowledge of StarTrek! This is a game that asks
you questions about the series, and gives you a score at the end. There
are 100 questions in this file, and information is given for obtaining
new question files from the author - who lives in Garland, Texas.
XOR2HC - This program will take NFL team files in the Xor "ROS" format and
convert them for use in Head Coach.
XOR2TV - This program will take NFL team files in the Xor "ROS" format and
convert them for use in TV Sports.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS ScopeDisk58
ADJCLOCK - Adjclock will print out information that will help you if you
are trying to adjust the trimmer capacitor for the battery backed
clock. Adjclock needs to be run from the CLI with a fairly large
(<-precise technical term) window open.
AREXXLOG - The logon.rexx and logoff.rexx programs support a log record for
any number of users, one at a time, to record computer usage
sessions, generating a log file showing all logon events per date
and time, elapsed time until logoff, and accumulated time over any
number of sessions. This program requires ARexx to be installed on
your system.
B1SUBS - Part 1 of a (possible) series of sub-routines which either extend
the power of AmigaBasic, or just save a lot of typing. They were
gleaned from magazines and books or constructed from bits and pieces
gathered from everywhere. Most of the sub-routines are presented as
free-standing programs which can easily be stripped to their essentials
and incorporated into you programs.
CM - CM is a Celestial Mechanics simulation tool. It allows you to
construct a layout of Masses (called Bodys) and specify various
parameters concerning both the bodys and the simulation. All input
is accomplished through a fully intuitionized interface. CM then
proceeds to animate the bodys according to the laws of gravational
attraction ( F = Gm1m2/r^2 ). Setups may be saved to disk to allow
you later re-inact interesting scenarios.
CWAR111 - Circuit War is a 2-4 player strategy game that involves a great
deal of strategy! The game requires the victorious player to crush the
opposing CPU's by draining their energy levels to below zero, & only a
collision with a gridrunner accomplishes this.
DFC2 - This is dfc, a disk copying and formatting utility written by
Radical Eye Software. This program is in the public domain. Version 2
released on 4 Febuary 1989. Supplied default `Empty' name on format
if no name given. Automatically retries first cylinder to avoid
`errors' because of too-late diskchange.
GEOVIEW - GeoView is a geoPaint viewer for the Amiga. GeoPaint pictures
can be viewed in either low resolution (320x200) or high resolution
(640x400). GeoView can also print out the whole picture or the
portion of the picture that is visible on the screen. It can be run
from the Workbench or CLI.
IFFEXISTS - IfExists corrects a problem with the IF EXISTS construct as
used in batch files or your startup-sequence. The problem was that if,
for example, the line IF EXISTS DF3 - were used in the startup-sequence
and DF3 - were not mounted, a requestor would appear and the
startup-sequence would stop and wait for a click on Cancel.
JGAMES - There are three strategy-type games inj this set - 15 - you must
align the squares so that the numbers are in sequential order 1-15,
moving only one square at a time. (2) Concentration - match the same
picture hidden behind two squares to get a hint toward the 5-letter
word you are trying to recognize. (3) Tower of Hanoi - move the blocks
according to the rules in order to stack the blocks on the opposite
pole.
KBENCH13 - Finally, KickBench arrives for AmigaDOS 1.3! The files included
in this archive will convert a copy of KickStart 1.3 into a combination
KickStart and WorkBench disk. In addition to the included files, you
will need a program called WARP which is available from just about any
BBS system, Fred Fish, your favorite Amiga users group or from a
friendly Amiga dealer.
KPTR - Kaleidepointer replaces your pointer with a grid of moving
pixels. The first argument, if given, is taken as the width, in
pixels, of the grid. The second, if given, is taken as the height.
The default width is 16, and the default height is 14.
MD - MD is a simple memory diagnostic program. It allocates as much
memory as it can, writes a value to it, and reads the value. If the
value read is not the same as the value MD wrote MD reports an error.
It repeats the process until each byte of memory has been tested with
four test values - 0x00, 0xff, 0x55, and 0xaa. The error report
identifies the address where the bad value was found, the value found,
and the value expected.
SHOWPATH - ShowPath was written out of my frustration to get a fully
qualified file listing which I could edit and use as an EXECUTE script
file to cleanup my hard drive. Shows path to every file on the disk.
WPDESK - This is a printer driver for the HP Deskjet to use with
WordPerfect. The author of the program converted the driver that HP
supplies for IBM-WordPerfect owners, and here is the Amiga version.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS ScopeDisk59
GURUMED - Jot down the left-hand guru number in your alert and, after
reboot, let GURU interpret it for you. Usage - guru GURU.NUMBER -
the program will then tell you the meaning of the guru message.
LOADIFF - This ARC file only contains the IFF.LIBRARY, the FD file and the
BMAP to use the IFF.LIBRARY from Amiga-basic. There is a short demo to
load a picture. The demo doesn't check for the size of the picture, but
you can add that.
METRO - In this strategy game, you are in charge of the transportation
system of a city. You decide where to put parking, bus lines, etc.,
according to the statistics provided in the game. Your score depends
on your skill at making transportation available to the right places at
the right time. It might take a bit of practice to get good at this one.
MOVIE13 - This is an update to Eric Graham's movie, an animation player.
You can use it from CLI, or use it in the tooltypes of an icon to set
an automated demo. This update was released in February.
MPLAYER1A - Gold Disk's MOVIESETTER makes most impressive animations. This
is the freely distributable player for those animations.
SBASIC - SuperBASIC is a set of subroutines for use with AmigaBASIC - or
most any of the other BASICs available for the Amiga. There are bits
of code here that do most of the more things that are advanced or more
difficult to code. With these, writing in AmigaBASIC can be very fast
indeed!
JRCOMM - This communications terminal program seems to have everything.
XMODEM, XMODEM-1k, WXMODEM, YMODEM, YMODEM-g, ZMODEM, CIS B+ and ASCII
file transfer protocols are included. A phonebook that can store an
almost limitless number of directory entries, and most other facilities
that would be wanted in a good term program.
CR21 - Want a file reader that will always be available, yet be unobtrusive
and out of the way when not needed? Fast, and with nice features like
going backwards as well as forwards? This one can shrink to a square
only a few pixels big until you need it, then click to a full window
for reading. It has lots of features, and deserves a trial.

CONTENTS ScopeDisk60
SUPERBREAK - One of the first computer games was called BreakOut. Various
forms of the game continue to appear and to be popular. This file
contains the classic BreakOut. Play with mouse.
NOAH - This text file is written to give advice to Amiga newcomers about
the machine, the software, how to get started, etc. It has a very
chatty style, so prepare to spend a bit of time with it - but there is
some good (if opinionated) information here.
WRAP - This program simply makes your pointer WRAP AROUND the screen, so
that if it moves "past" the left edge of the screen, it will wrap
around to the right, and vice versa. If it moves "past" the top edge of
the screen, it will scroll round to the bottom, and vice versa.
WORKJERK - Another in the seemingly endless set of Amiga screen hacks. Now
you wouldn't want me to tell you ALL about it, would you?
ICADDEMO - A demo version of the commercial IntroCad program. This has
enough capabilities to give you a feel for the program. If you have
never used CAD (as opposed to a draw or paint program) this one will
let you know whether you could use such software. Altogether, I feel
it is worth the space, even though it is a crippled, demo version.
CLERK - This set of accounting programs keeps getting better. It has the
ability to keep books for a fair-sized small business, and has modules
for accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, and a file
system that handles small database types of things like phone numbers
and addresses. This is just about the only public domain accounting
software for the AMiga. It must be put on its own disk to run.
MOCAL - An appointment calendar. You can keep your appointments here, even
to setting up things that happen regularly, such as meeting a certain
person every third Thursday. If you choose, you can set it to give an
alarm fifteen minutes before each appointment.
HANDYICON -
Last time, you saw the patched version of the original HandyIcons.
This is the official release from the author of the original. It has
some enhancements, in addition to being fixed to run with 1.3.
This is a truly neat addition to the Amiga. While of use to all, it is
especially useful to those with hard disks. Store all your software
paths in Handy, and you can just select them from a workbench menu from
then on. VERY useful.

CONTENTS ScopeDisk61
ARCHIE - Archie is an AREXX program that will copy all files that don't
have the archive bit set from a SOURCE and it's subdirectories to a
DESTINATION directory (or directories) . If these directories don't
exist in the DESTINATION, Archie will try to create them on the fly,
thus preserving the original structure. After the file has been
copied, it's archive bit will be set. Requires AREXX.
ASCII2PS - This is a new version of a2ps, a program to format an ascii file
for printing in a postcript printer. Several improvements have been
added in the Unix version, and this is a port of that version to the
Amiga.
BINDNAME - BindNames is designed to do all of the logical name
assignments you need at once. BindNames will read all name files before
making any assignments, and it can figure out dependencies, so it
doesn't matter how you order the names. It will create directories that
it can't find, such as RAM:Env and RAM:T in the above example, and it
will generate warnings for name assignments that it can't resolve.
Dave Haynie.
Cosmo2 - Cosmo-roids2.0 is the latest version of the popular arcade game
'asteroids' for the Amiga. It is distributed as ShareWare. Version 2.0
has sound effects and can be played with either keyboard or Joystick.
DChecker - DiskChecker will read every sector on a disk, reporting any
read errors found. DiskChecker will print statistics about the device,
and then read through each sector on the disk. It will report any errors
encountered by error number. In addition, if the error is a valid
trackdisk.device error, DiskChecker will print a descriptive error
message also.
DiskFree - This is a utility that checks for free disk space and reports how
much room you have left.
DME - Matt Dillon's editor, version 1.35. This editor has an AREXX port,
is almost totally configurable. It will work with Workbench or with
CLI, has menus, etc., and the documentation is quite extensive. Source
is included. This is not a word processor, but is a programmer's
editor, designed for other programmers.
Dperf2 - Update to the original dperf (by Rick Spanbauer). This one, by
Khalid Aldoseri, has fixed some bugs in the original. It leaves no
locks lying about, is faster in operation, and gives more information
about the performance of your hard disk.
Giffy2 - This version supports the entire GIF specification. This includes
Multiple images, extension blocks and colors more than 32. It will show
all the GIF files in a directory just by typing "GIFFY2 #?' It will
ignore all non-GIF files in the directory and show the GIF ones.
InTouch3 - This is a modified Comm1.34. It supports both VT100 and ANSI.
The VT100 emulation is based on Dave Wecker's VT100 program. There is
an automatic dialer, split screen that is configurable, phone book, and
other nice features.
LoadIff - This file contains the IFF.LIBRARY, the FD file and the
BMAP to use the IFF.LIBRARY from Amiga-basic. There is a short demo to
load a picture. The demo doesn't check for the size of the picture.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS ScopeDisk62
FILEMAP - This little toy is designed to allow you to examine the
sector allocation on your disks. Instead of using th DOS to find files,
it uses the trackdisk.device and examines the sectors directly,
traversing the filesystem "by hand." Unallocated sectors are the
background color; file control blocks are rendered in color 1; data
blocks are color 2; and sectors allocated by other things show up as
color 3.
GLIB - a Generic LIBrarian and editor for synthsglib (one syllable) is a
text-screen-oriented librarian AND editor. It is structured in an
attempt to make it easy to add support for new synthesizers.
GRAF - Graf is a program originally meant for graphing multiple functions
of one variable entered from the keyboard. A calculator mode was so easy
to add that it is included also. The inspiration for graf came from the
graph sketching classes we had in intro calculus. I wanted a nice and
quick way of checking my work.
JUMBLE - JUMBLE is a program that will provide all possible arrangements of
any input text. Just give it a word and let it go. All you have to do
is pick out an answer from the list produced. What could be easier?
There is one small problem, though. JUMBLE gives you 'ALL' possible
arrangements of the input text. The larger word you give it, the longer
the list of anagrams. And the list grows fast!
Example - 2 letters = 2 words, 3 letters = 6 words,4 letters = 24 words,
but 9 letters = 362880 words.
MFR - MIDI File Recorder This program (written in JForth and target
compiled), receives MIDI input and records it timestamped in the
standard MIDI file format approved by the MIDI Manufacturers
Association. MFR uses Bill Barton's PD midi.library, so it can receive
MIDI from the serial port or any other executing process that also uses
the midi.library. Also included is a program called MidiClock, a
settable timer.
MYMENU - MyMenu is a program to allow you to create your own menus in the
WorkBench to run your own commands. This can save the hassle of opening
up lots of drawers to get to the command you want. MyMenu will allow
you to execute both CLI and WorkBench programs, and is configured with a
normal text file. Be warned that there are probably a few Amiga
programming rules violated, so this program will break unker 1.4.
PIPE203 - I have completely re-written my PIPE - handler from scratch.
The PIPE - device now supports bi-directional connections through a
single file-handle, dynamic buffer sizing, signaling capability, and
several other options for supporting virtualterminals
(i.e. slaving a CLI). (Matt Dillon)
PLAY11 - This is version 1.1 of Mark Riley's "Play" program, for playing
Sonix scores. Since there is as yet no new documentation for the new
version, the version 1.0 docs are included in this archive. This
version is supposed to deal more gently with low memory situations, and
has an added "fade" or "F" option to fade out a score.
QUICKLIB - quicklib.bas is a little routine to allow quick bmap-loads for
AmigaBasic. What it does is ask you which routines from the library
you're using, and then writes a subroutine (which you later merge into
your main program) which will create a tiny .bmap file on the fly in
RAM -, and then load it in with an appropriate "LIBRARY" call.
RUS - Rus is a program to read BBS buffers or any other text file. It is
page and/or message orientated. You can read text files using either the
keyboard or mouse.
SHELL203 - Shell provides a convient AmigaDos alternative command
interface. All its commands are internal and thus does not rely on the
c - commands for any functionality. Major features include - command
line editing, -shell & Amigados search path support, -simple history,
redirection of any command, piping, aliases, variables & variable
handling (embedded variables), file name expansion via conventional wild
carding, conditionals, source files, many built in commands to speed
things up.
VT1002.08A - This archive contains a vt100 emulator with KERMIT and XMODEM
file transfer protocols. Original work by Dave Wecker, V2.7-V2.8A by
Tony Sumrall. This is the standard VT100 emulator by which all other
Amiga implementations are measured.

CONTENTS ScopeDisk63
BACK202 - Version 2.02 of Matt Dillon's hard disk backup program. It has
many features such as incremental or complete backup.Backup and
Restore (same executable, just renamed) allow you to back up any
directory tree with optional compression, and later extract all or part
of the tree. The protection, date, and file comment is saved with
each file.
CHECKERS - This is a computer-controlled checkers game, played on the
screen, and controlled by the mouse. It follows the standard rules -
and no cheating allowed! Requires AmigaBasic.
DISK2 - This is a disk icon. You cannot see it until you copy it to a
disk. Type - copy ScopeDisk63/disk2/Disk.info newdiskname -Disk.info
A replacement for the WorkBench disk icon. Not brilliant.
PICS - Here are two pictures for the fellows who just really need more
images of girls. One is called 'Jill' and the other is 'Montage".
SIMREQ - SimpleRequest is a requester-maker for your programs that use
Intuition (ie, that open windows). Check out the sample program, and
the "Specs" (which has more-or-less a proposal at the end, and some
more info on the function). To just see what it can do, run "ReqTest".
SPICE_M - This is a pair of files to be used with the Spice circuit
analysis program that was on several of the Fish disks.
THINKER - This is a demo version of Thinker, with most features such as
save and print disabled. It will let you see what Thinker can do,
however. By combining elements of text processing, outline
processing, and hypertext, Thinker becomes an Idea Processor. The
future of Thinker includes links to sound files, WYSIWYG print
formatting, use of the Amiga Clipboard, and more.
XOPER13 - New commands - [S]=Stack usage, Sort, Hide, Hidden, Header,
Window,InputHandler. Added - Support of startup-scripts, I/O
Interrupts/second, 'Kill' an alias for 'Cancel'. Xoper can show you
information about everything running in your machine, and can close
windows, kill tasks, unlock locks, and do all sorts of wondrous things.

BLK - Blk generates C code for declaring requesters. It automatically
formats borders and text and generates the declarations for them. The
requester can contain boolean, string and proportional gadgets. This
code is provided by Stuart Ferguson, and has been highly acclaimed.
DBW_uRAY - (micro raytracer) is a small raytracer developed for my own test
purposes and made available to anyone who wishes to play with ray
tracing algorithms. It runs on several different machines in many
different configurations. It can generate pictures in 24-bits
(16 million colors), and up to 1024 x 1024 in size. This is an update
to DBW-Render, Dave Wecker's ray tracing program.
MOCAL - It is an appointment calander that allows you to enter appointments
on a one time or on-going basis. (i.e. beer blast every third friday)
It can also be run with a -d option in background and will remind
you 15 min before any scheduled event. In foreground you and Post, Scan
Edit events or 'Q' to quit. This is a port of a calendar program for
Unix machines.
QMENU - Here's a little quick menu creation code I put together for making
menus for Modeler 3D. The instructions are in the comments. Included
are the main code itself in a module and an example program. The code
compiles under Manx 3.6, but I can't see why I wouldn't compile equally
well elsewhere.
FTEXT2 - This is the first revision of Darren Greenwald's new FastText()
code which can be linked in, and included within your programs. These
new routines utilize the blitter, and speed up rendering of
fonts of any height, and of 4-16 pixels in width.

CONTENTS ScopeDisk65
ARP13 - This is the release version of the AmigaDOS Replacement Project's
1.3 version of ARP. This file has all of the C directory commands
but they are written in assembler, are faster in many cases, and in
other cases they have added features that make them more consistent
in syntax, etc. An excellent installation script is included.
DPPlay - The Player utility lets you play the animations you created with
DeluxePaint III. You can boot the utility from the Workbench or
use CLI arguments to start the Player. There are many options to
control the animation. This player was released by E. A. for free
distribution, but retains their copyright.
DSALV14 - DiskSalv V1.40 is a disk recovery program for all Amiga file
system devices that use either the AmigaOS V1.2/V1.3 Standard File
System or the AmigaOS V1.3 Fast File System. Several bugs in the last
release have been fixed, and there are new enhancements not available
in the older version. If you EVER have to recover a disk, you need
this!
EASYBANK - This program will keep track of all your banking transactions
if you will take the time to enter them. It has categories for just
about anything you might do with your account, and maintains the
records in a database it sets up for you.
BFort302 - Is a game that simulates combat between two or more giant robot
like machines. To enjoy the game you must put yourself in the cockpit
of a battle Mech.

CONTENTS ScopeDisk66
EXECUTE - This is a small file that does most of the things in the larger
Execute program included with WorkBench. If you are very tight for
space, it might do exactly what you need!
GIFTOIFF - There are thousands of pictures around in GIF format for IBM
computers. We have had IFF2Gif converters, but this one goes the
other way - it converts GIF to IFF, though it goes through a second,
temporary file on the way. It offers some choices on the methods used
for changing the number of colors, etc.
ICONMEISTER - The time has come to throw IconEd in the TRASHCAN! Now
there's IconMeister, THE paint program for creating Icons. This program
was designed for making Icons of all types, sizes, and colors.
IconMeister is packed with features for creating interlace, 8 color,
and dual icons. IconMeister has twice the features of IconED packed into
the same size code space. This is a MUST GET for all Icon masters!
MIDISMUS - I haven't tested this program, but it is said to convert MIDI
files to SMUS format. The author says there is some distortion in
the converted files, and asks for more files to check. Still - it
should be worth a look if you are into MIDI - shouldn't it?
MOVE - Move is a file utility for use in your c - directory. It simply moves
a file from one place to another. It takes the place of a copy and
delete. Version 1.0 does not support any wildcards. Renaming any
given file is allowed.
MPRI - MemPri is a handy tool for Amiga owners with a mixture of 32 bit
and 16 bit memory. MemPri will let you adjust the priority of each
of your memory types thereby allowing you some control over where
programs load.
PALFIX - Palfix and Palfix2 are custom made system-configurations for the
Devs directory of those Pal games you need to fix. Amigas in the
USA need this fix so that they can see the bottom of the screen.
PBG - PointerBeGone. If you like having the mouse pointer disappear during
times when you are not using it, but don't want all of the other
utilities that come with programs that do this - here you are. This
one, written in assembler and source included, does only that one
job of blanking the mouse when it is idle.
QMOUSE152 - The most recent version of this popular utility that adds
hotkeys, provides a popcli, speeds up the mouse, provides a sunmouse
feature, blanks the mouse when idle, blanks screen when idle, and
a host of other features. This one fixed some bugs in earlier
versions.
QRT15 - Here is a a new release of the QuickRayTracing program that has been
very popular. It is based on the first freely distributable ray
tracer by Dave Wecker, but this one has been improved many times.
this file contains sample pictures, complete docs, and many other
helps.
REXXARP22 - There are a few new options in a couple of the functions. A few
documentation deficiencies were fixed. The rexx directory only contains
a few new examples. Updates to the SLAC rexx programs that were in the
previous releases may be forthcoming in a separate archive. The
screenshare library is now included in the libs directory, since
rexxarplib needs it. Previous archives assumed that you had it already.
REXXMATH13 - The RexxMathLib has Arexx scripts for many of the math
functions. This version has been recompiled especially for use
with the 1.3 software - and is only about half the size of the version
needed for 1.2.

SDECIGEL - This is a short utility to make the MC68010 and MC68020 more
nearly compatible with the MC68000. It's based on the Public Domain
program DeciGEL, but it is more effective - it does NOT disappear
when you reset the computer!
SETPATCH - Use this one at your own risk! This definitely shows that it
came from Commodore - copyright built into the program, etc.
But Commodore people say they have not released the new SetPatch
and that they know nothing of this one. It seems to correct a
problem with trackdisk and one with layers.
SMARTICON - This program puts an icon beside the other screen gadgets.
Clicking on that icon causes the screen to be saved to RAM - It
will work on all screens open at the time the program is run, or
on all windows opened before or after running the program.
SSUR1_1 - Small Simple Usenet Reader. This file will present Usenet
messages to you one at a time. There may be more features, but
the program comes with source - no docs.
TAPESTRY2 - Tapestry is a utility for attaching a picture
to your normal workbench display. Any 1 bitplane (2 color) IFF
picture can be loaded, though you may want to use one which has
roughly the same dimenstions and pixel aspect ratio as your Workbench
screen.
TURBO - This program speeds up the computer by turning off the bitplane,
sprite, copper, and audio DMA.
UNZIP - 'UnZip' is a small Zipfile extract utility. It is written to be

This is an Amiga port of the unzip utility, and worked on sample
.ZIP files.
VLT3656 - VLT is both a VT100 emulator and a Tektronix emulator, currently
in use at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center). Although the
VT100 part was originally based on Dave Wecker et al.'s VT100, many
enhancements were made. This update differs from the previous one
in a few bug fixes - the implementation of the insertion/deletion of
characters is now done correctly, a problem with macro file requesters
was solved. All beeps everywhere in the program now correctly
DisplayBeep.
Tunes - by a Dutch programmer by the name of DJ. Cannot be used with Sonix
Apparently can only be used on an A500 or 2000. 1000 owners cannot use

FuncKey - is a tool that will put an end to the uselessness of
the ten function keys sitting atop the Amiga keyboard. This
'hotkey' utility allows each function key to be programmed
with up to five different keyboard equivalent strings, each
string able to hold up to 79 characters and may contain control
escape sequences as well as left- and right-Amiga sequences.
The five possible strings are accessed by combinations of Shift,
Alternate, Left-/Right-Amiga, and the function keys.
Please note that FuncKey requires at least version 1.2 of AmigaDOS.
CtoMod - is a program designed for those who would like to translate
C source code into Modula-2 source code. This program should help
in the translation process. C keywords are translated into Modula-2
keywords, as well as most of the punctuation type characters, i.e.,
"{" are converted to "BEGIN", "}" to "END", "=" to ":=", "==" to "="
etc. Indentation is also added to the output, as well as the beginning
and ending "MODULE" statements. Module name is taken from the name of
the input file.
BlitLab - is a program which lets you experiment with the blitter to
your hearts content, in relative safety. It opens up a workbench
window with gadgets for all of the registers of the blitter, and allows
you to manipulate individual registers and perform blits on a magnified
bitmap. This documentation is sketchy, but it probably won't get much
better.
SCalc4.1 - is a look-a-like version of a simple supercalc which was ported
from Unix. No great hopes here.
GreekFont - This is a full Greek alphabet font. EXECUTE install.exe to

This allows you to capture the printer output of many applications
(including screen dumps) in a file.
IconMaker - Iconmaker builds icons for files that were created without them.
However, if the program does have an icon file available, then it is
a rather simple matter to clone it. Iconmaker takes this approach.

last year.
TITLCD - The purpose of this program is to put the current directory
into the Title Bar of your CLI window(s). The program sits in the
background, watching all your CLI's, and if you change the current
directory in any CLI, that window gets updated with the new
current directory.
TRUNCANIM - This program was written in response to a request by a local
DPaint3 user. When you create an ANIM file in DPIII it appends
the first 2 frames of your anim to the end, so that it will loop.
This is fine except when you don't want the ANIM to loop there is
no way to kill this "feature". This program does that.

Ever since I first had my Amiga, I always wondered why there were
no music-pianos for it in the PD. It seemed to me that it woulnd't be
too difficult to make a piano-keyboard on screen that would play back

Planet - this program will map any IFF picture around a sphere (hence forth
referred to as a planet). The planet is then shaded based on the
location and size of a light source. The mapping is done by equating
constant latitude and longitude lines around the planet with constant

This is version 1.1 of my hard disk PERFormance TEST. It is a CLI based
program, so don't bother trying to use it from WorkBench. This program
was written because I needed some way of evaluating hard drive
performance. Basically, I wanted a program that would see just how
fast a hard disk & controller would transfer raw data, and I wanted to
see how much effect an overscan screen would have on the same system.
CheckFit - determines the size of the file and the free space remaining on
the given device. The device can be a floppy drive, hard disk, or the
recoverable RAM device VD0:, however it will not work on the RAM: device
because that device does not return a proper value for the number of
blocks available.
Toggrx - The program is of use to PAL owners mostly. The program will
toggle the NTSC or PAL mode for you, report the current grafix mode or
force to one mode or the other.
NotBoingAgain - The original images were generated using Sculpt 3D, a
commercial ray-tracing program. There are 135 images total, which is
about 14 megabytes of information in the uncompressed form. After
compression and assembly with Byte-by-Byte's public domain sequencer,
MOVIE, the finished animation file is 394450 bytes long, which will run
easily in a 1 meg Amiga. The sounds were digitized with Perfect Sound
fron SunRize.
Mandlpic - Mandelbrot picture. What can one say. It looks nice if you are
appreciative of the subject.
ClockDr3 - Will reset a clock that is stopped or speeding. Checks for
clock virus symptons i.e. stopped or very sl...ow.
Timer - replaces your prompt with a timer showing the no. of seconds
required to complete a task.

Scripit - A script language that allows you to automate actions you would
normally have to do manually. Either from mouse or keyboard. Also has an
AREXX port. Very powerful features.
Ultracard - These are the UltraCard Browser stacks. These stacks, along with
the UCBrowser comprise a browser/player version of the UltraCard product.

Pics - A comical pic of a toilet and a 3½" disk in alien surroundings.
Superview is included in the c directory for these pictures.
AMI3270 - Ami3270 is a terminal program based on Jez San's Argoterm. I
wrote it to provide a way of logging on to IBM mainframes running a
VT100 to 3270 protocol converter; the two protocol converters Ami3270
supports are SIM3278 (a software protocol converter) and the PCI
protocol converter. All the VT100 emulators I have tried have at least
one - and sometimes more -problems. The usual one is scrolling of the
display when the bottom line is reached; this is a problem with
SIM3278. Ami3270 avoids the annoyance.
AMIGABBS - his is a program written in Assembly Language for the Amiga
computer to run PACKET radio as a backround task. It uses the Amiga
Serial port to interface to a Terminal Node Controller (TNC). The TNC
is connected to the Amiga thru a RS-232 serial cable, and to a VHF or
HF radio thru Receive audio, Microphone audio, and PTT lines.
ATREE - Atree is a disk utility which imitates similar utilities widely
available on IBM compatibles (PC Tools, XTree, QuickDos, etc.). The
intent is to allow the user a graphic representation of the entire (or
any portion of the entire) directory structure on a disk device,
including the files in each directory, and the capability of moving
quickly through the "tree" to a directory to access its files for
purposes of copying, deleting, moving, viewing, editing, etc.
DISKOPTI - This program will copy all the files on a disk making sure
that the data blocks for each file are consecutive. Depending on the
number of directories and files on a disk, the process can take up to
6 minutes to complete.
FINDDISK - This is a simplified cataloging program for your disks. It
is meant to be small and easily managed, but will handle a large
number of disks.
FIXDISK - FixDisk is a program to recover as much as possible from a
defective disk. I don't claim it is better than 'Diskdoctor' or
'DiskSalv', but it has some features the others don't have - first of
all it can recover damaged (unreadable) tracks, it has functions to
check file integrity, to check the directory structure and functions
to undelete, copy or show (even defective) files, fix corrupted
directory pointers etc. Werner Guenther.
FONZ - This program is similar to SetFont, except that it sets the font
for programs that open their own custom screens.
FUNPAINT - If you enjoy Amiga graphics but you don't want to invest in
a professional paint program, then Fun Paint is just the thing for
you. It allows you to create and edit paintings quickly and easily in
all the Amiga graphic display modes with up to 4096 different colors.
It opens and saves Interchange File Format (IFF) paintings so its
compatible with many other Amiga programs.
IM_EXAMPLE - This is just a very short piece of code that shows how to
open a window and draw into it.
ISPOOL13 - IAMSpooler 1.3 consists of three programs that allows
programs to send printer output to disk for subsequent printing on the
printer. The printing is automatic and in most cases does not require
userintervention.
MAZE12 - The simple little maze game grown up! This one has very
simple mazes for level 1; quite difficult ones for level 2; those I
did not even attempt in level 3. Have fun!
MOUSETRAP - Another maze program. In this one, you can create your
own maze, and then have your "mouse" run through it. The graphics are
nicely done in hi-res. A number of options are available.
Joplin - A selection of famouse Scott Joplin tunes. Sonix `Play' is
supplied.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents Scopedisk87
MV11 - This program is meant to be like the Unix mv command, I
believe. There are extensive docs giving the various commands and
uses, but no simple description of the program. It will rename, move,
delete, etc. - a powerful directory utility. It is NOT a mouse-driven
program.
PACKER - Power Packer takes an executable file and crunches it down as
much as 50% smaller, similar to the way Arc or Zoo does. The
difference is that the file remains an executable file and doesn't
require Power Packer itself to "unpack" and run. You can save a LOT
of space on your Workbench disk by packing everything.
POWERPOKER - This is a game of poker, played onscreen. The graphics
are well -done, and the game seems to work well. (Not exactly up on my
poker. Sorry.)
PRTPIC - This is a utility that will print your pictures and other IFF
files. Prtpic does not display the picture it is printing and
therefore doesn't use up any CHIP memory. It does however require the
1.3 printer drivers. It also accepts multiple filenames and/or
wildcards for filenames.
QED14 - QED is a very fast, full featured text editor for the Amiga
written in Manx C, and 68000 assembly language. QED offers a variety
of options which allow you to customize how each text editing window
behaves. For example, QED has a free -form text editing mode which
allows you to place the cursor anywhere on a line, and spaces are
automatically inserted as needed. Or if you prefer, QED can behave
like a sequential file editor limiting cursor positioning to the end
of a line. QED can handle many fonts, can insert text from files, etc.
QUICPREF - Pop Prefs to the currently active screen, make your
changes, and then move them out of the way.
ROGUE - This game is a classic adventure game that pits you against
the forces of darkness and mystery. You will have to wonder
around in the maze of rooms to collect treasure and other
items that will help you in your travels through the maze.
There are many keys on the key board that will enable you to
accomplish tasks and fight with the monsters that you
encounter. Press the F1 key and it will tell you all about
the active keys. This is a true hacker's game and you will
have to figure it out as you go along.
RUNBACK4 - This version of RunBack has been changed to use the NULL -
device supplied in this ZOO file. (NULL - device by Gunnar Nordmark).
This is a "real" device, so it solve problems with previous versions
of RunBack which used the Nil - "fake" device which caused Crashes....
This is a revision of Dan Barrett's revision of Rob Peck's RunBack.
SCANNER10 - Scanner makes commented C code of all intuition structures
in memory. The structures will receive correct pointers towards each
other. Scanner starts looking at IntuitionBase, and follows all
pointers, storing them in memory. When finished, scanner writes it all
to stdout. Since a structure may be referenced from more than one
spot, I made sure it would never look at it more than once. Stephan
Parmark.
SHOWIZ20 - ShoWiz combines the features of a display program with
those of a slideshow program. This means you can show individual
pictures or a whole disk full!
ShoWiz has 26 different ways to display your pictures and it works
with ALL resolutions, including Overscan. You can even display Text
files, with your choice of colors for the background, text, and
shadows. Type "ShoWiz ?" to see the various options you have.
SID2 - From Mike Berro. SID (System Information Display) displays a
list of Exec Tasks, Libraries, Devices, Ports, Interrupts or
Resources; Intuition Screens and Windows; or DOS Devices, Directories
or Volumes. You can print or save a list to a file. Menu driven, and
useable from CLI or Workbench. This version has added scroll bars and
a few other new features.

PALBOOT - This program installs a special bootblock which allows PAL
programs to be seen fully on NTSC Amiga's fitted with the
SUPER AGNUS Chip.
Icon$ - This is a small sample of the collection of icons I created to
personalize my home budget in Gold Disk's "Desktop Budget".
Included here are seven of the more generic and therefore more
widely useful symbols
IconMaster - For creating and modifying icons. You are able to utilise
brushes from art programs for your icon creations.
IPP - IPP was written to take advantage of both sides of a piece
of paper, cutting those long text file printouts in half
and making your listings much easier to read. Because IPP uses
your Preferences Printer specs for page length, varied and
customized 'Book type' printouts are possible with YOUR printer.
M2Du_V4.03 - DirUtil in Modula-2 - handles up to 1000 files per directory
CLI or WB
Mostra - A Universal IFF Viewer. There are many utilities for viewing IFF
ILBM files, but none I'd seen until now met the goal of displaying every
IFF picture; each had its idiosyncrasies.
Snap_V1.4 - Frame what you want to type and Snap will transfer the frame
contents to your window. Saves typing. Useful
WebSpread_V1.6 - is a simple spreadsheet with fairly limited rows and
columns but will do for simple requirements
XColorV1.2 - XColor is a program designed to change the colours of any screen.
But it's more than a palette - You can also ADD and SUB bitplanes and
you can change the screen. It also handles HAM and EHB screens
Contents ScopeDisk111
AIndex - will automatically create an index of selected words in a
document. It keeps track of the location of the selected words
by chapters and/or pages of the document by inserting dot commands
into the document.
ClickDOS II - is an AmigaDOS enhancement utility. It allows you to
do DOS-like actions with the mouse instead of typing commands at
a Command Line Interface (CLI). It adds a great deal of
functionality for the "Click-n-Go" user which is not available in
the Workbench environment. It also makes some of the tasks which
are very cumbersome to do at a CLI or Workbench, such as moving
or deleting a large number of files, much easier to perform.
ClickDOS II is a dream for "cleaning up" floppy or hard drives or
for browsing through disks of public domain software sorting out
what you wish to keep. These are, however, only two of the many
uses for ClickDOS II.
DB - This is a very basic database program. It allows you to create a
database with up to 5O fields. Each field can be from 1 to about
3OOO characters. There can be a maximum of about 1.2 Million
records to a database. Each record can be a maximum of about
3OOO characters long. This means that if you create a field of
1OOO characters that there are only about 2OOO characters remaining
for the other fields in the record.
DiskLabelV1.2 - A disk label prog. No docs
FileFind - is a CLI utility which will search for files on filing
devices using wildcards. The MS-DOS wildcards "*" and "?" can
be used as well as the AmigaDOS wildcard "#". The drive specifier
is optional and if not supplied the currently logged drive is used.
An optional directory specifier may also be used which limits
the search to the specified directory and all sub-directory levels
under it. Multiple arguments may be supplied to search on more than
one drive for a particular file, or to search for multiple files
on multiple devices. Ctrl-C may be used to immediately terminate
the search and return your CLI prompt to you. Version 1.5 is pure
and as such can be made resident under AmigaDOS 1.3 or under
AmigaDOS 1.2 using ARP.
Icons - Yet more but good icons for every purpose.
KeyBiz - Havn't tried it but connect up the stereo and type away!!!
'Liner -In essence, what 'Liner does is to let you type into an outline
form, allowing you rearrange blocks of text without having to
renumber everything. It does not have some of the features of
commercial outliners, such as showing only certain levels in the
outline, or having more than one line of text per number.
SuperView3.O -SuperView is a program that will display IFF pictures of all
types on the Amiga. The program supports the following features:
multiple files on one command line. WorkBench (icons) are supported.
All display modes supported.
Auto Overscan
Color Cycle ( DPaint and GraphiCraft types) CRNG CCRT
AmigaBasic ACBM type files Author chunk is supported

TypeTut - Improve your typing skills with this tutor. There are many
practice exercises to help you improve. Good luck.
Spy - Spy lets you examine the state of some other task on the system.
It continuously displayes the tasks running state and its software
context (the CPU registers' value for that task).
DMake - This is Matt Dillon's Make and Make-maker. It has all sorts
of switches, dependencies, macros, and other such goodies. For those
who are already familiar with MAKE. There are extensive docs, but
only to tell you how this MAKE compares with other MAKEs.
X10Ctrl - The X10 USA company manufactures a series of low cost
devices which enable an electrically controlled device to be
controlled remotely. The controller (CP290), is available from DAK,
Sears, Radio Shack, Heathkit, and others, for about $30-40. This
software lets you manage that controller with your Amiga.
Amrtization - Prints out an amortization schedule. Several options.
The icon says you must use CLI, but the program will run if you just
click on the icon. Very nice schedules, and can go to the screen or
to a printer.
ZapMap - ZapMap13 contains the equivalent of AmigaDos 1.3 .bmap files
(accounting for it's size). Running the program is all that a BASIC
programmer will need to use the Amiga's LIBRARY Functions. Programs
written using ZapMap can be compiled with Absoft or HiSort compilers
to create truly stand-alone programs. Very nice addition to the BASIC
toolkit.

PLT - is a file-handler that accepts HP-GL commands, produces a
raster image, then dumps it to your printer. The handler
inquires from Preferences your printer's current resolution in order
to maximize your plot quality. There is also an ability to preview
a plot in order to see what it will look like on paper before
you waste the time printing it. When previewing a plot, a separate
screen appears that illustrates your plot's layout relative to the

Finish - Hate that crunching noise your floppy drive makes when it
multitasks? Ever wish you could stop drive multitasking in your
startup-sequence and improve its performance? Well, now there's an
easy solution to the problem: the Finish command.
LabelBase - LabelBase is a mini database program. It will also print out
your records in label format, so it is useful for doing mailing lists
(like for Xmas)! You should have AT LEAST 512K to use this.. since the
records you enter are kept in RAM until you save the file to the disk.
This makes the program very quick! You can create files that will hold
up to 3,000 records, but, of course, this depends on the amount of RAM
you have.
LD - The purpose of the program is to quickly dial a phone number and wait
just long enough for you to hear if the phone is busy or if it rings.
In the case that it is busy, the program will hang up and re-dial.
If the phone rings, it is your responsibility to first pick up the
reciever of the phone (you do have one don't you?) and then click on the
HOLD gadget to stop the program from re-dialing. You can then talk to
the person (the D.J.) on the other end
UEdit2.5d - One of the most powerful editors for the Amiga. Totally

ClickDOS II - is an AmigaDOS enhancement utility. It allows you to
do DOS-like actions with the mouse instead of typing commands at
a Command Line Interface (CLI). It adds a great deal of
functionality for the "Click-n-Go" user which is not available in
the Workbench environment. It also makes some of the tasks which
are very cumbersome to do at a CLI or Workbench, such as moving
or deleting a large number of files, much easier to perform.
ClickDOS II is a dream for "cleaning up" floppy or hard drives or
for browsing through disks of public domain software sorting out
what you wish to keep. These are, however, only two of the many
uses for ClickDOS II.
DB - This is a very basic database program. It allows you to create a
database with up to 50 fields. Each field can be from 1 to about 3000
characters. There can be a maximum of about 1.2 Million records to a
database. Each record can be a maximum of about 3000 characters long.
This means that if you create a field of 1000 characters that there
are only about 2000 characters remaining for the other fields in the
record.
DiskLabelV1.2 - A disk label prog. No docs
FileFind - is a CLI utility which will search for files on filing
devices using wildcards. The MS-DOS wildcards "*" and "?" can be used

directory specifier may also be used which limits the search to the
specified directory and all sub-directory levels under it. Multiple
arguments may be supplied to search on more than one drive for a particular
file, or to search for multiple files on multiple devices. Ctrl-C may be
used to immediately terminate the search and return your CLI prompt to you.
Version 1.5 is pure and as such can be made resident under AmigaDOS 1.3 or
under AmigaDOS 1.2 using ARP.

If you have ever accidentally formatted your hard disk drive, you are
probably searching for an equivalent to the small black write protect
tab used by floppy disks. If locked, FastFileSystem rejects all write
requests, but that still is not enough since you can still go directly
to the device driver and ask to format a track. 'LockDevice' installs
a patch at the device driver level to reject all icoming write and
format requests thus reducing the chance of accidentally formatting
the hereby protected data media.
LPatch - V3.O by John Toebes.

well as checksumming information to ensure the validity of the patch.

for making backup copies, or for packaging up a set of files to move
them to another system.
