A summary of what is on this disk follows the disclaimer below. A directory
listing in full, with notes, is found at the end of this file.
We suggest you read this file in an editor in 80-column mode.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following caveat was written by Fred Fish to apply to his library of
Amiga public domain software. It applies so well to the AMIGAN library
as well that I am using his version rather than re-write it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To the best of my knowledge, materials in this library are freely
redistributable. This means that they have met one or more of the
following conditions:
(1) The materials contains explicit copyright notices permitting
redistribution.
(2) The materials were posted to a publically accessable electronic
bulletin board and did not contain any copyright notice.
(Such materials will be removed if it is subsequently shown
that copyright notices were illegally removed.)
(3) The materials were posted to a widely disseminated electronic
network (such as usenet), thus implying that their author/poster
intended them to be freely distributed. This applies only if
they contain no notice limiting distribution.
(4) The materials contain an explicit notice placing them in the
public domain. This is not the same as condition (1).
=======================================================================
The Amigan Apprentice and Journeyman PD software library to date:
Disk #1 - DPSLIDE, a utility for viewing IFF format pictures
MicroEMACS 3.6, a full-screen editor
Screendump, a screen-printing program
TrueCIO, a C routine to give true one-character-at-a-time I/O
to Lattice C for the Amiga
Disk #2 - Amiga HACK v1.03D - a Dungeon adventure. Graphic icons replace
characters in this version.
Disk #3 - C-KERMIT, a file transfer protocol. Includes server mode.
Disk #4 - MAKE - a software development utility
BLINK - a faster replacement for ALINK, the Amiga linker
POPCLI - blanks the screen when not in use and hotkeys a CLI on
demand
ICONEXEC, SETALTERNATE, SETWINDOW - Icon management tools
ARC - File archiver, compatible with PC ARC
FIXOBJ - fixes brain-damaged object files downloaded with XMODEM
TSIZE - gives size of all branches of a file system

Disk #5 - FASTCHOP - faster program to replace FIXOBJ (disk 1)
SECMAP - displays a sector allocation map of a disk drive
CLUE - the board game
MISSILE - a missile defense game, in assembler
MEMWATCH - background program which 'guards' against low-memory
trashing. Useful for development.
CLOCKS - various computerized timepieces
JUGGLER - fantastic ray-traced animation
WBRUN - fakes programs into thinking they are run from workbench
MEGBOARD - instructions on building a 1-meg memory expansion board
STAT - replacement for the AMIGADOS STATUS command
MEMGRAB - allocates all available fast memory. Useful for taming
poorly-written programs that don't know the difference.
SCRIMPER - Perry Kivilowitz's famous screen dumping utility
Disk #6 - LARN - Amiga port of the UN*X game, with graphics. Very
similar to HACK.
