Here is the Amigan Apprentice and Journeyman
Freely Re-Distributable Disk Number 15.
For a copy, send $6 to: The Amigans
PO Box 411
Hatteras, NC 27943
This disk may be freely redistributed, but please keep any ARCed
files configured as they are!
The contents are:
Iff2Ps Useful shareware program to convert IFF pictures
to PostScript files, for use on laser printers.
By William Mason and Sam Paolucci
MR Menu Runner - a menu bar clock, dynamic
free memory reporter, and program execution
utility all rolled into one. Shareware
by J.L. White
ClickToFront A double click into any window instantly brings
it to the front; no more hunting for page gad-
gets. If you work with lots of windows, this one
saves time. By Bryce Nesbitt.
DefDisk Handy program that will remedy the need to use
the DOS Assign command repetitiously in your
Startup-Sequence to reassign the six standard
assignments (SYS:, C:, etc.) to another path
such as a hard disk. With source by J. K. Levie.
DOSKwik Makes an image of an entire ramdisk (or suvi-
vable ramdisk) in one gulp on disk--and will
copy that image back to ramdisk (complete with
all directories) in another gulp. Over twice
as fast as COPY ALL. Great for fast boots--or
for saving ramdisk entire at 2 a.m. in the
morning so you can load it again when sober.
By Gary Kemper
NewCon A handy little utility to provide 'keyclick'
audible feedback from the Amiga (provided
you have your speakers hooked up). Also
has a screen blanking function (who doesn't,
anymore?) Shareware by Bob Crow.
ScreenSizer A utility to allow you extra rows and columns
of text in a CLI window. Provides all functions
that 'MoreRows' does and also makes the current
(usually Workbench) screen realize the changes
without rebooting. Includes source. By Thad
Floryan
SuperView The best picture viewer so far? You decide.
will show almost ALL current picture types
on the Amiga, including Overscan, the first
frame from an ANIM file, and even AmigaBASIC
.ACBM pictures! By David Grothe
RunBack Will run a utility in the background, allowing you
to close the CLI window. Handy when you don't want
to clutter the screen with uneeded windows (or tie
up a CLI which really isn't needed). Not needed if
a program has been created to automatically run in
the background--but many haven't.
APL.util A series of utilities for those who use Spencer
APL on Amiga. Covers basic functions. By Amigan
John Koch
Keep For telecommunication junkies. You can review
downloaded files off-line and save only those
you want. By Tim Grantham.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
And by the way...
The program LESS is on the root directory of this disk. Instead
of TYPE-ing files, LESS them, like so:
LESS <filename>
LESS will pause at the end of each screen page until you press
a key (the spacebar is easiest). Also, LESS will allow viewing
the previous page and other handy functions. Just LESS a file
and look at the title bar for the window.
Please feel free to offer software and/or comments about this
disk to:
