Lines: 321 Keywords: "Fish disks" Hi everyone, time for another new batch of disks. If you sent me material for my library since the last batch of disks, and it doesn't show up here, don't panic! I'm still digging out from under the pile and expect to release another batch in a week or so (along with some of the contents of the Badge killer demo contest). Then I get to start sorting through the 10 megabytes of usenet stuff that has come in since the last batch. Talk about a flood of goodies! For those that are new to this newsgroup, or the Amiga in general, you can obtain a catalog disk, listing the contents of the entire library, by simply sending me a blank disk and a couple of loose first class stamps. Send to: Fred Fish Catalog disk request 1346 W. 10th Place Tempe, Arizona 85281 USA Mailing of preordered disks begins tonight and should be complete by this weekend. So watch your mailboxes... Below is a list of the contents of disks 103-110: CONTENTS OF DISK 103 -------------------- AvlTrees Library and test program that implement routines for creating and using balanced binary trees (AVL trees) held entirely in memory. Includes source. Author: Paul Vixie Calc A programmable calculator program with similarities to a hand-held RPN calculator. Can run either interactively or in "script" mode by reading programs from a file. Version 1.0, shareware, binary only. Author: Bob Brooks Cref A C cross referencer program. Includes source. Author: Mike Edmonds; Amiga port by Joel Swank DosKwik A pair of programs which allow you to save files, or a group of files, to one or more floppies for quick loading (loading up a ram disk for example). Does not store files in DOS format, which is why it is faster. Binary only, shareware. Author: Gary Kemper IntuiDOS IntuiDOS is a program to give improved control over, and handling of, the material on all diskettes in the 'CLI-area' by employing a multi-disk, scrollable directory and using Intuition techniques to issue DOS commands. Written in assembler. Binary only. Author: Lennart Sandin MFF-Update A text import utility for MicroFiche Filer (demo version released on disk 89) and updates to some PD disk library databases. Binary only. Author: Gary Samad Pack-It Pack-it will take all the files and directories on a disk and pack them into a single file for electronic transmission via modem. Binary only, shareware. Author: Gary Kemper Sol Amiga version of solitaire game posted to usenet some time ago and modified to use Amiga console control codes in place of curses calls. Includes source. Author: David Goodenough; Amiga port by Joel Swank CONTENTS OF DISK 104 -------------------- This is disk 104 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. This disk contains a copy of Glenn Everhart's large and powerful spreadsheet program called AnalytiCalc, submitted to me directly by Glenn for inclusion in the library. The remainder of this file is Glenn's "Abstract.txt" file that describes AnalytiCalc. Source and documentation is included on the disk in arc'd form because it otherwise would not all fit on the disk. AnalytiCalc Abstract: AnalytiCalc is a large and powerful spreadsheet program with sufficient extra features to have some pretentions of acting as an "integrated system". It is a virtual memory system supporting up to 18000 columns and 18000 rows, multiple equations per cell, an outlining system, built-in cell annotation, and datafile access from any cell(s) of the sheet, plus an array of functions not present in most commercial spreadsheets. This disk represents the initial Amiga port of AnalytiCalc, and as such the console interface is somewhat crude and in addition requires use of a custom keymap (one such is supplied) for sensible operation. This will be improved upon, but meanwhile the program is released with complete sources, documents, and executables. The graphics program and the DIF file access program are not yet ported; these will be released when they are ready. AnalytiCalc for the Amiga uses files compatible with those for AnalytiCalc on MS-DOS, VMS, or RSX-11M or IAS. An example project planner spreadsheet is included in the distribution to show off some of the things you can do. More example sheets will be forthcoming in the future. AnalytiCalc also supports matrix math, FFTs, infinite windowing, linear regression, date arithmetic, internal and external macros, LOTS of cell addressing modes, goal seeking in up to 8 dimensions, and more. [lots more stuff deleted for this posting -- Fred] CONTENTS OF DISK 105 -------------------- AsmProgs Some misc assembly tools, programs, etc. "AsmFilter" (actually in AmigaBASIC) turns the output of the Metacomco disassembler into a file that can be re-assembled. "AddKickMem" adds the KickStart memory to your free memory on an Amiga 1000 with Kickstart in ROM. "Clear" fills unused areas of memory with a specific byte pattern. "L" is a replacement for the BCPL "list" program, but with some graphics enhancements. "SharpFont" is an 8 pixel non-proportional font. "Stack" is a replacement for the BCPL stack program. Includes some source. Author: Glen McDiarmid and Kirk Davies BasicProgs Some more AmigaBASIC programs. LeastSquare solves least squares problems and graphs the results. Curves is a demo of one use for LeastSquare (find curves to fit a set of points). Freud is a Freudian analysis program. Includes source, needs AmigaBASIC from Extras. Author: George Trepal Bison A replacement for unix "yacc" command. This is from the GNU (GNU is Not Unix) effort, and was obtained from the Free Software Foundation. This is an update to the version on disk 51, with some more bug fixes provided by Fred Walter. Includes source. Author: Bob Corbett and Richard Stallman. Bug fixes by Johan Widen, Doug Leavitt, & Fred Walter DrunkenMouse Another cute program in the tradition of "display hacks". Includes source.

When activated, allows the keyboard and mouse inputs to be locked out until a password is entered. Shareware, binary only. Author: Alex Livshits GravityWars The object of this game is for one player to hit the other player's ship with a missle, before being hit yourself. The ships and planets don't move, but aiming the missle in the presence of gravity fields and black holes makes hitting your target difficult. Version 2.0, shareware, binary only. This is an update to the version on disk number 84. Author: Ed Bartz IPo2C A utility to write a C-language definition of the current intuition pointer to a file, which can then be used in a program via SetPointer to mimic the intuition pointer. Includes source. Author: Alex Livshits Pere-et-Fils Example of creating and using reentrant processes. Includes source. Author: Jean-Michel Forgeas Record-Replay A program that records a sequence of mouse and keyboard events as they occur and stores them in a file. The file can be played back to cause the same sequence of events to occur again. Very useful for creating demonstrations of programs or documenting repeatable bugs. This is version 2.0, an update to the version on disk 95. Shareware, binary only. Author: Alex Livshits and J-M. Forgeas CONTENTS OF DISK 106 -------------------- FuncKey A shareware function key editor, submitted by the author for inclusion in the library.

Author: Richard Lamb, Stuart Lynne, Jeff Lydiatt CONTENTS OF DISK 110 -------------------- A68k A 68000 assembler originally written in Modula-2 in 1985 and converted to C by Charlie Gibb in 1987. Has been converted to accept metacomco-compatible assembler source code and to generate Amiga objects. Includes source. Author: Brian Anderson; C translation and Amiga work done by Charlie Gibb Pdc An optimizing C compiler for the 68000 processor. This is an update to the version first released on disk 53, though apparently not based on the code from that disk. Major porting work was done by Jeff Lydiatt to get it to the point where it would compile and execute simple programs on the Amiga. This version now generates metacomco- compatible assembler source code, which can be assembled by the assembler also provided on this disk and then linked by the freely redistributable linker "blink" (also provided). Includes all compiler source and some library and startup source code. Requires amiga.lib from developers kit to generate complete running example executables.
