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!
