This is disk 3 from the "Gold Fish" series, which is a collection of some of
the best games, programs, examples, demos, etc from the Freely Distributable
Amiga Software Library (aka "Fish disks").
Disk 3 contains a selection of some of the more useful utilities for
enhancing the Amiga software development and execution environment.
ASDG-rrd Extremely useful shareware recoverable ram disk.
This AmigaDOS device driver implements a completely
DOS compatible disk device in memory that survives
resets, guru's, and crashes. An absolute must for
those with lots of ram. Binary only, from disk
number 58.
Author: Perry Kivolowitz, ASDG Inc.
AuxHandler Example of a dos handler that allows use of a CLI via
the serial port. Source available on disk number 79.
Author: Steve Drew
ClickToFront ClickToFront extends the user-interface so that
a double-click into a window brings it to the front.
Now as long as you can see any part of a window you can
bring it to the front without having to hunt for the page
gadgets. Version 1.1, source available on disk number 86.
Author: Bryce Nesbitt
Cmd Cmd redirects the serial.device or parallel.device output
to a file. Useful for capturing print jobs for debugging
or "offline" printing. Version 4, source will be on a
disk after disk 90.
Author: Carolyn Scheppner
Commodities Commodities Exchange, an Amiga exec library which can be
opened and used by application programs to gain access to
input in a very flexible way. This is a "minimal, binary
only" copy. Source may be available on a future disk.
Version 0.4, from disk number 87.
Author: Jim Mackraz
DiskSalv Program to recover files from a trashed AmigaDOS disk.
Can also "undelete" files deleted by mistake, so long
as they have not overwritten by further disk activity.
Requires two disk drives. Source available on disk
number 20. VERY useful...
Author: Dave Haynie
DropShadow A program that makes your WorkBench windows have
dropshadows. This is version 2.0, source available
on disk number 87.
Author: Jim Mackraz
HardCopy A neat little program that creates a hardcopy transcript
of any CLI session (like the unix "script" program).
Source available on disk number 75.
Author: Davide Cervone
IconExec These two tools allow execution of a program from an
& SetWindow icon without having to recompile the program. Source
available on disk number 12.
Author: John Toebes VIII

Types are Disk, Drawer, Tool, Project, Garbage, and Device.
Source available on disk number 69.

ID-Handler An AmigaDOS device handler, that generates unique
identifiers. Generates a new unique 16 digit decimal
number each time it is opened by an application.
Version 1.0, source available on disk number 87.
Author: Ed Puckett
LowMem Another fine freely redistributable product from ASDG.
This one is a low memory server, which is a compact shared
library which allows arbitrary processes to register their
desire to be notified of impending memory shortages. This
allows good citizen programs to free up memory that they
may not need, so other programs can use it. Binary only.
From disk number 85.
Author: Perry Kivolowitz
MemWatch Memwatch is a program intended to sit in the background
and watch for random trashing of low memory by an
application under development. If it detects a write
to low memory, it repairs it to what used to be there,
then puts up a requester indicating what damage had been
done. Very useful! Version II, source available on
disk number 87.
Author: John Toebes
MoreRows A program to make the workbench screen larger than normal.
The number of additional rows and columns are set via command
line arguments. Binary only, from disk number 54.
Author: Neil Katin and Jim Mackraz
NewZAP A third-generation multi-purpose file sector editing utility,
from the author of FileZAP. Displays and edits full 512-byte
sectors via a 106 character wide internal font. Includes
a search feature to find specific strings or hex digits,
forwards or backwards. Version 3.0, source available on
disk number 58.
Author: John Hodgson
PipeHandler An AmigaDOS pipe device which supports OPEN, CLOSE, READ,
WRITE, LOCK, EXAMINE, and EXNEXT. Thus you can have
"named pipes". It also supports "taps" on a pipe, to
capture all data flowing through the pipe. Version 1.2,
source available on disk number 84.
Author: Ed Puckett
PopCLI Provides a simple way of starting another CLI at any
time without having to load workbench or exit whatever

screen when there has been no input for a specified
period of time. Version III, source available on disk
number 84.
Author: John Toebes

a primary image, and a possibly completely different image

Spool The SPOOL system consists of 3 programs: A queue manager,
a printer driver, and a SPOOL request program. The SPOOL
system demonstrates the power of the Amiga's mutitasking
abilities in a very practical way. It makes extensive use
of Amiga Exec's message passing facilities and list-handling
primitives. Version 1.2, source on disk number 69.

SunMouse Makes your mouse behave like the Sun Microsystem's
