========================== Contents of Disk 140 ========================== This is disk 140 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. SBProlog Volume 1 of the 2 volume Stony Brook Prolog (SBP) distribution, version 2.3.2. This volume contains the executables and libraries. Volume 2, on disk 141, contains the C and Prolog source code. From the SB-Prolog System, Version 2.2 User Manual: "SB-Prolog is a public-domain Prolog system for Unix(tm) based systems originally developed at SUNY, Stony Brook. The core of the system is an emulator, written in C for portability, of a Prolog virtual machine that is an extension of the Warren Abstract Machine. The remainder of the system, including the translator from Prolog to the virtual machine instructions, is written in Prolog." In addition to providing a compiler, SB-Prolog also offers advanced features such as dynamic loading, mixing of compiled and interpreted code, macros, extension tables, a debugging facility offering two levels of tracing, profiling tools, and other utilities.

Authors: Logic Programming Group at SUNY, Stony Brook Amiga port by David Roch and Scott Evernden SmallC An Amiga port of the Small-C compiler, written by Ron Cain and published in Dr. Dobb's Journal, in about 1980. Small-C is a rather small subset of the full 'C' language. However, it is capable of compiling itself, and other small, useful programs. Requires an assembler and linker to complete the package and produce working executables. Includes source and binary. Author: Ron Cain. Amiga port by Willi Kusche. ========================== Contents of Disk 142 ========================== This is disk 142 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. Diff A program that uses the same algorithm as the Unix diff program and also produces context diffs, suitable for use with patch. This is the same version that was distributed on disk 138, but now includes the missing files (including source code). Author: Unknown (Decus C diff) FracGen A fractal generator program that generates fractal pictures from "seeds" that you create. This is unlike any of the other "fractal generators" I've seen. It can be used to load and display previously created fractal pictures, modify existing fractals, or create your own fractals. Version 1.1, binary only. Author: Doug Houck SciSubr The Scientific Subroutine Package from DECUS, ported to the Amiga to run with Absoft Fortran. This is a valuable resource of mathematical and statistical source code for those doing Fortran work on the Amiga. Author: Unknown; ported to the Amiga by Glenn Everhart ========================== Contents of Disk 143 ========================== This is disk 143 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. Rim RIM-5 (Relational Information Manager) is a full relational DBMS that is suitable for VERY large databases using B-Tree data storage. It has a crude (by today's standards) user interface, but since full source code is provided, this can be fixed. Versions of RIM run on a wide variety of systems, small and large, and produce compatible databases. Also includes a built in HELP database and a programming language. Full Fortran source code and documentation included. Author: Various, Amiga port by Glenn Everhart ========================== Contents of Disk 144 ========================== This is disk 144 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 as an update to the version released on disk 104. 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 third version of an initial Amiga port of AnalytiCalc, and as such the console interface is somewhat crude and uses a set of command files in an externally assigned area (assigned to DK:) to handle the function keys. A custom keymap can also be used, which was supplied in the initial version. The program comes with complete sources, documents, and executables, and in addition with the source code for the "auxiliary utilities" which handle DIF format conversion and character graphics. (The executables are not adequately tested on amiga as yet, though they work on VAX, PDP11, and IBM PC.) 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. ** PLEASE read the README.1ST file for brief instructions on setting up a working AnalytiCalc disk. Please read the manual at least once over lightly too... *** 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. See the README.1ST file!!! 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. SOME MAXIMUMS AND MINIMUMS.

THE USER-SUPPORTED CONCEPT. User-Supported Software You are encouraged to copy and share this program with others. If after evaluating this program you find it to be useful, I trust you to send a $10.00 payment. Glenn C. Everhart 25 Sleigh Ride Rd. Glen Mills, Pa. 19342 To Be Done: Future plans for AnalytiCalc: 1. Allow data files to be on a logical device. (Actually, FACC may make this need obsolete). 2. Fix bugs as they are discovered. 3. Allow use on non-interlaced screens by redoing the two command and display windows as pseudo-requestors. Auxiliary files: 1. Check that DIFrw (DIF to or from AnalytiCalc saved format converter) and ACGRAF (character graphics utility) work as specified. Note: Sources to these programs, which compile and link cleanly on Amiga, are present here. However they are not yet tested, so executables are omitted. 2. Port some of the BASIC graphics packages to Amiga. Possibly compile some of them. 3. 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. I have also seen that there are some bugs in Absoft Fortran's handling of con: and raw: windows which I have reported to Absoft. Hopefully this will permit upgrading of user interface soon, as these problems are fixed. (It seems that you CAN do both read and write to CON: windows in Absoft Fortran 2.3, but you must issue a REWIND on the unit between them. This is not always needed in V2.2, but occasionally happens. (This accounts for the occasionally flaky behavior of DTC, which was compiled with V2.2 before I found the foregoing out.) Glenn Everhart 6 November 1987 Also present on the disk is DeskTop Calendar (DTC), a useful little appointment and meeting scheduler and calendar keeper. It will work on either interlaced screens or non-interlaced. AnalytiCalc needs more stack than the 4000 default (I use 65000 but less is probably OK). It also probably needs more than 512K of RAM for operation as currently linked. The routines in AnalyO.Ftn can be overlayed against each other, but this has not been done as yet. Those desperate for a smaller executable, having Absoft's compiler, can rebuild in this way for a smaller executable. Also: AnalytiCalc MUST currently run on an interlaced screen owing to where some CON: and RAW: windows are opened. Move the windows to fit on a non-interlaced screen (via patching the image or editing/recompiling) if you must run it on a noninterlaced screen. You must turn interlace on in Preferences and boot with that set up. The SETLACE program will NOT create things quite right for AnalytiCalc and you'll generate the weirdest system crashes (all the way back to Kickstart sometimes) you ever saw if you try... just use Preferences and all will be well... ) Glenn Everhart November 6, 1987 Enjoy... ========================== Contents of Disk 145 ========================== This is disk 145 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
