Here is the Amigan Apprentice & Journeyman
Freely Re-Distributable Disk Number 20.
For a copy:
In the U.S. or Canada, send $6 to: The Amigans
This includes first class postage. PO Box 411
Overseas, send $7 to: Hatteras, NC 27943
This includes airmail overseas postage.
This disk may be freely redistributed, but please keep any ARCed
files configured as they are!
The contents are:
AZComm - Version 1.00, a modification of COMM 1.34 added to implement
ZModem protocol, 3/7 wire handshaking, and to work at
rates over 19.2K bits/sec. Modified by SS. Patel.
Eliza - A version of the famous Artificial Intelligence simulation
written in 1965 by Joseph Weizenbaum of MIT. Written in
68000 assembler by Jeff Lavin and Richard Albers.
FileInjector - This is a super file requester which runs in the background
and will 'inject' a filepath and name into the input stream
of any program (which has a window)! It will sort by date,
size, or alphanumerics. It is configurable and fun to play
with. By Justin V. McCormick.
HandyIcons - Extends the WorkBench with a new menu item which permits the
user to run various Tools from the menu! Currently only Tools
are supported. By Alan Rubright.
HEd 1.0 - HEd is an editor similar to ED, but enhanced with mouse functions,
file requesters, and other useful items. There is not much
other documentation except for the on-screen help and menus
it provides. By Hal Carter.
HodgePodge - An interesting exercise done by Robert Smith after an article
by A. K. Dewdney in the August 1988 SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. It
will change a field of random pixels into patterns on the
screen.
JimUtils - A collection of Jim Cooper's favorite SMALL program utilities.
Includes Avail, DFree, FreeMem, Prefs, Scoot, Sweep, and Winsize.
All were done in assembler and all are resident compatible as
well.
LightningLogger - By Robert T. Shaw, a demo version of his file 'catalogger'
which works for hard disks as well as floppy disks. This
one keeps track of the filenotes and volume size and date
information as well as the usual file info.
MultiView 2.0 - A picture file viewer that will allow you to show MacIntosh
and Atari ST filesin addition to the standard Amiga file
formats. It will also allow you to save them in any of the
above formats! By Wayne Hogue.
NewZAP 3.18 - The latest version of John Hodgson's multi-purpose file/sector
editor utility. You can edit a file in hexadecimal or ASCII
sector by sector. Handy for those little patches and tweaks
one needs to do occasionally.
PointerAnimator - Includes two programs - the animator and the animation creator.
The animator comes with some sample data to get started and
a means to create your own using your own graphic editor.
By Tim Kemp.
Semaphore Tutorial- A programming example in the use of exec semaphores. Brought
to us by Rico Mariani from UseNet.
WesUtils - Includes a word counter and a file to unlock the current
directory and sets the lock to the root of the startup
disk. Both by W. Wesley Howe.
Templates - The templates for all V1.3 commands, from Jim Butterfield.
Asterisks mark all new and revised commands.
Syscheck - A CLI program in assembler to check all revised Workbench
disks for the final programs issued with V1.3, again from
Jim Butterfield.

And by the way...
The program QView is on the root directory of this disk. Instead
of TYPE-ing files, QView them, like so:
QView <filename>
QView will also work from the Workbench, using the standard methods.
PLEASE read QView.doc to find out all the commands.
Please feel free to offer software and/or comments about this
disk to:
