========================== Contents of Disk 100 ==========================
This is disk 100 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
Berserk This animation, unveiled at the September 87 meeting
of the First Amiga Users Group, got Leo a standing ovation.
It is a "must see" for every Amiga user, and ranks up
there with "Juggler" as a premier demo for the Amiga.
Author: Leo Schwab
Conman Extremely useful replacement for the standard console
handler, that provides line editing and command line
histories completely transparent to any application program
that uses CON: windows. This program is shareware, and well
worth a donation to the author. Version 1.0, binary only.
Author: William Hawes
WBLander Another interesting Workbench display hack. This one
is really a game in disguise. Previously released
on disk number 85 as "Rocket", this one has been
upgraded to have sound effects. Binary only.
Author: Peter da Silva
========================== Contents of Disk 101 ==========================
This is disk 101 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.

MicroSPELL MicroSPELL is a standalone spelling checker which scans
text files and reports on misspelled words. It has a 1000
word "common word" list, a 43,000 word main dictionary, and
supports multiple user dictionaries. Also interfaces quite
nicely with MicroEMACS 3.9, with an emacs macro to step
through the source file, stopping at each suspect word and
allowing the user to dispose of it in different ways.
Version 1.0, includes source.
Author: Daniel Lawrence
Midi A midi library and utilities set. This looks like a
very complete package, though I have no way of testing
anything since I have no midi hardware. The midi utilities
include a midi monitor to display incoming midi messages
to the console, a routing utility, a midi library status
utility, and more. Also includes source.
Author: Bill Barton
PsIntrp A postscript interpreter that reads postscript files and
previews them on an Amiga screen. Interactive input and
output takes place in a small window. The page to be
show is composed behind the window in an interlaced screen
with 16 colors. Can also take input from a file. Includes
source in assembler.
Author: Greg Lee

========================== Contents of Disk 104 ==========================
This is disk 104 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
This disk contains a copy of Glenn Everhart's large and powerful
spreadsheet program called AnalytiCalc, submitted to me directly by
Glenn for inclusion in the library. The remainder of this file
is Glenn's "Abstract.txt" file that describes AnalytiCalc.
Source and documentation is included on the disk in arc'd form because
it otherwise would not all fit on the disk.
====================
AnalytiCalc Abstract:
AnalytiCalc is a large and powerful spreadsheet program with
sufficient extra features to have some pretentions of acting as an
"integrated system". It is a virtual memory system supporting up to
18000 columns and 18000 rows, multiple equations per cell, an outlining
system, built-in cell annotation, and datafile access from any cell(s)
of the sheet, plus an array of functions not present in most commercial
spreadsheets. This disk represents the initial Amiga port of AnalytiCalc,
and as such the console interface is somewhat crude and in addition requires
use of a custom keymap (one such is supplied) for sensible operation. This
will be improved upon, but meanwhile the program is released with complete
sources, documents, and executables. The graphics program and the DIF
file access program are not yet ported; these will be released when
they are ready. AnalytiCalc for the Amiga uses files compatible with those
for AnalytiCalc on MS-DOS, VMS, or RSX-11M or IAS. An example project
planner spreadsheet is included in the distribution to show off some of
the things you can do. More example sheets will be forthcoming in the
future. AnalytiCalc also supports matrix math, FFTs, infinite windowing,
linear regression, date arithmetic, internal and external macros, LOTS
of cell addressing modes, goal seeking in up to 8 dimensions, and more.
AnalytiCalc requires perhaps 600K of RAM memory, at least one
360K diskette drive, and AmigaDOS 1.2, plus a larger than default stack.
Display sizes supported can be up to 132 characters wide by up to 76
lines long. Sorry; I don't think AnalytiCalc supports proportional
fonts very well, though it should manage not to be totally brain damaged
with them. The manual requires an 80 column printer.
To see the documentation you need either a printer 80 columns wide
to print it, or an 80 column screen to view it on.
SOME DO-NOT'S
1. DO NOT use AnalytiCalc until you have read the documentation.
2. DO NOT forget to make regular backup copies of your database.
3. DO NOT exit (X) the progam without saving your work if you
want it saved. (You will be asked to confirm you really want
to leave, however.)
GETTING STARTED.
If you haven't already printed the documentation, please do so
before trying to operate AnalytiCalc. Then, READ IT! You should
also make sure that you have placed a "write-protect" tab on your
AnalytiCalc distribution diskettes, so that they can't be
accidentally erased or overwritten.
You should now make a copy of your AnalytiCalc disks. These will
also serve as your "run-time" system diskettes.
De-archive AnalyExe.Arc and AnalyDoc.Arc at least onto a blank
disk and read the document files and release notes. You'll need
a bit of AmigaDos familiarity to set things up (read how to use
the ASSIGN command and the SETMAP command and ASSIGN something as
DK:; also set your stack large with the STACK command.) If you
are using disk file memory, FACC is a good thing to use also. PLEASE
READ THE MANUALS though, to save us all a lot of headaches.

To Be Done:
Future plans for AnalytiCalc:
1. Add TAN, ASIN, ACOS, and 2-argument ATAN (one argument ATAN
is present now). (Done in VAX version; trivial mod.)
2. Interface to raw: device instead of con: device and add more
flexible parsing of keystrokes so custom keymaps can be junked.
3. Allow data files to be on a logical device. (Actually, FACC
may make this need obsolete).
4. Minor cleanups to XQTCMD and a couple other places to clean
up and more thoroughly bullet proof the code.
5. Fix bugs as they are discovered.
6. Allow use on non-interlaced screens by redoing the two command
and display windows as pseudo-requestors.
Auxiliary files:
1. Port DIFDB (DIF to database or AnalytiCalc saved format and
back converter) to Amiga.
2. Port PCGRAF to Amiga.
3. Port some of the BASIC graphics packages to Amiga. Possibly
compile some of them.
4. Supply the Business Expense Report, manpower planner, and
income tax templates as extra examples. Possibly do a game of
LIFE template too, just for fun.
Other programs:
Port the RIM relational DBMS to Amiga as a companion piece. (This
has already been done porting from CDC to VAX to MSDOS (the last
by me), and should be straightforward).
I have found that Absoft Fortran 2.3 is a stable and usable compiler and
would like to acknowledge gratefully its contribution. He who wants to
add to or modify AnalytiCalc needs Absoft Fortran 2.3 (or later, I suppose)
to build it with. Anyone who has Absoft Fortran-020 for the 68020 is
invited to recompile this program to use the faster chips. I didn't have
either money or machine to try a 68020/68881 version, but see no reason
why it would fail.
