- Well, here we are up to disk number 14, just before Christmas. With this
- volume, we are back to the more mundane world of useful utilities. Here we
- go:
-
- A68k - An optimising 68000 assembler. Does a very good job, and
- includes complete source (for Manx C).
-
- Blink - Just in case, here's version 6.9 of Blink, which was the
- last PD release of this now famous linker.
-
- Compu-Calc! - A neat calculator, not especially feature-loaded,
- but includes complete source (in assembler).
-
- DirWin - A useful utility, especially if you look at directories a
- lot. Will automatically bring up the directory for a disk
- inserted in drive DF0:
-
- DME - An Extra good programmer's editor, allowing remapping the
- keys (and even the Mouse buttons!) to any other key or even
- a command sequence. 128 possible mappings PER KEY make
- this an EXTREMELY powerful editor. Also allows multiple
- files in multiple windows, etc.
-
- FFont.v2 - Version 2 of Darren Greenwald's Fast Font routines,
- allowing up to 600% speedup over conventional text
- routines.
-
- FFormat - A fast disk formatter, used to format the original of
- this disk. Includes the capability to install your disk
- immediately after format, thereby replacing both Format
- and Install in your C: directory.
-
- Resident - The resident command, plus several support files. Read
- the docs to find out uses for this.
-
- Riley - Several files from Mark Riley (author of MusiCraft, which
- later became Sonix). Included are a program packer with a
- twist (packed files unpack themselves!), an IFF SMUS song
- player which can be used from CLI or Workbench, and a
- program to turn off the filter in the Amiga sound section
- (on the A500 & A2000 only). Also includes some Christmas
- songs to play with the Player.
-
- SClock - I know; "Not another clock program!" This one will do
- something a little different...it will make sure it stays
- on the top screen, even custom screens put up by such
- programs as Shanghai and various terminal programs.
-
- SmallLib - A small library which can be used to replace amiga.lib
- in most cases. Included to help with A68k.
-
- SpeedUp - A file from Germany which will change the drive step
- delay in the trackdisk.device for your drives. Does show
- noticeable improvement in disk access speeds.
-
- Wordwright - A word processor that rivals many being sold for $100
- or more! Includes an outliner, mail merge, and multi
- file capability, just like the commercial jobbies.
-
- Whew! Hope that holds you for a while. Try everything, you never know
- what might strike your fancy.
-
- Have fun!
