This is disk 588 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
FifoLib FIFO: is like PIPE: but is based on fifo.library rather
than its own implementation. Fifo.library is a general
fifo library implementation that supports named fifos,
writing to a fifo from a hardware exception, multiple
readers on a fifo with each getting the same data stream,
efficient reading, and automatic or manual flow control.
Programs that require non-blocking IO can access one side
of a FIFO: connection via the fifo.library instead of the
FIFO: device. Version 3.4, an update to version 3.1 on disk
519. Includes some source.

FracBlank A commodities screen blanker written for AmigaOS release
2.x. When running will blank the screen and start to draw
real plane fractals such as described in the September 1986
issue of Scientific American. The resulting images may
remind you of spiders' webs, lace or even the Chladnian
patterns formed by grains of sand strewn across a vibrating
surface. This is version 1.8, an update to version 1.4 on
disk 535, and includes numerous bug fixes and enhancements
(such as multicolor mode). Includes source in `C' and
assembly language.

MandelSquare Yet another program to generate images from the Mandelbrot
set, different from most implementations in that it runs
only under AmigaOS 2.x, requires an '020/'030/'040 CPU and a
numerical coprocessor. The calculation routines were
written in '881 assembly language for maximum speed and
precision. Also included is a `movie mode' which allows
generation of long camera zooms to spots in the Mandelbrot
set. The resulting animations can be saved in ANIM-opt-5
format, allowing to replay them using `MandelSquare' or
standard animation software. Version 1.3, includes source
in `C' and assembly language.
