CODEHEAD UTILITIES UPDATE
-------------------------
Press Release
=======================================================================
CodeHead Software Announces CodeHead Utilities - Release 4
FEATURING:
- RESET-PROOF PRINTER AND DISK SPOOLING
- KEYBOARD ENHANCER FOR HANDICAPPED USERS
- TT COMPATIBILITY
- DESK ACCESSORY TEXT EDITOR
- RESOURCE FILE CONVERTER
The fourth release of CodeHead Utilities is now available! It brings
you many exciting new features as well as new and previously-unreleased
programs.
Release 4 comes on two disks. The second disk contains the latest
versions of all Little Green Footballs Software and demos of all other
CodeHead products. Between the two disks there are 34 programs, more
than ONE AND A HALF MEGABYTES OF SOFTWARE!
Here's what you get:
CODEHEAD RAM DISK:
The CodeHead RAM Disk has some new and exciting features. You can now
install two different drives in the same RAM disk. And you can
configure the RAM disk to contain a RESET-PROOF PRINT SPOOLER!
You can now perform a printing operation and reset your computer without
losing a single character...the printer will pick up exactly where you
left off without missing a beat. Plus, you can save your printer data
to a standard disk file that can be printed at any time, with or without
a print spooler!
This means you can save the raw printer data of a DTP document and
reprint it at any time WITHOUT EVEN RUNNING YOUR DTP PROGRAM AGAIN!
ART GALLERY:
Art Gallery is our picture viewer and slide show utility which runs as
either a program or a desk accessory. It is now fully compatible with
Mega STe and TT030 computers and is also compatible with large screen
monitors. If you have a large screen monitor, you can view any type of
picture that matches the current resolution, or has the same number of
planes but lesser pixel resolution. This allows you to view ST high-res
pictures on a Moniterm monitor and ST medium and low res pictures on an
ISAC or other large screen color monitor.
There's new support for all TT resolutions, including Prism Paint
pictures as well as the previous Neochrome, Degas, Art Director, and TNY
modes. Using a color monitor on the TT you can view pictures in any of
5 resolutions no matter what your current resolution is.
STICK SHIFT:
Stick Shift is a new desk accessory specially designed for handicapped
people. It changes the function of the shift keys (Left Shift, Right
Shift, Control, and Alternate) into toggled keys. This allows
complicated shift-key combinations to be typed by a single finger, or
even a mouthstick. When Stick Shift is active, a symbol will appear in
any of the four corners of the screen (your choice) to show which keys
are currently "stuck" down.
CODEHEAD ED:
Included as freeware with CodeHead Utilities is CodeHead's special desk
accessory version of MicroEMACS, the popular progammer's text editor.
At CodeHead Software, we've been using CodeHead ED for years. Now you
too can access the power of EMACS as a desk accessory. CodeHead ED uses
the GEM file selector for loading and saving files and has been
optimized in many other areas to help make your text editing tasks as
easy as possible. You can bind commands to different key combinations
to customize it to your own preferences, and the powerful EMACS command
language lets you create macros and command routines to do extremely
complex tasks.
RSC -> ASM CONVERTER:
We've finally released another of our development tools -- RSC_ASM
allows you to convert a resource file into assembly language source
code. We've been using RSC_ASM for a couple of years now to embed
resource files into our programs. A unique system of labelling allows
you to save both time and instructions by being able to access objects
and strings directly without using system calls to find addresses, and
without tedious and error-prone indirection.
CODECOPY:
CodeCopy is our disk mastering program which is tailored to the task of
making disk copies (we use it at CodeHead to make all our master disks).
It features full verification of every byte on your disks plus the
ability to save an entire disk as a single "image" file. It can be
fully controlled either manually or from the command line.
FONT TRICKS:
Font Tricks allows you to customize your system by changing the system
screen font. You can also print ASCII files to Epson-compatible
printers using the custom fonts. Almost two dozen fonts are included.
Font Tricks is now TT compatible.
AUTO ORGANIZER:
Auto Organizer lets you change the order of execution of your AUTO
folder programs. Its interface is intuitive and extremely fast,
performing the actual reorganization almost instantaneously. Auto
Organizer is TT compatible along with a couple of bug fixes.
OTHER UTILITIES:
MultiFile is the granddaddy of MaxiFile. It gives you a basic scaled
down set of file and disk functions. It runs as both a desk accessory
and a program.
Our stand-alone print spooler can be configured to any size through a
separate program. It will spool a screen dump and its buffer can be
cleared with a keystroke.
ZeroDisk lets you erase all of the files on a floppy disk in one quick
operation.
CapsLock is an accessory that shows the current state of the CapsLock
key. It can be installed in the upper left or right corner of the
screen.
Lens is a recursive graphics toy which lets you examine the effects of a
recursive system and have fun at the same time.
FREEWARE:
The new version of ShowMem4 works with the TT to show you memory blocks
in fast RAM. It now works correctly the first time on all ROM versions.
There's a new version of Leonard6, the system bomb handler, with a
special option for BBS operators. You can set Leonard6 so that it will
reboot upon a system error so that the BBS will automatically be
reinitialized.
Siren.ACC is fun little police car which drives across the bottom of
your screen at predetermined configurable intervals.
A patched version of Poolfix4 is included which fixes a bug in its reset
-resident routine for handling the cookie jar.
NoClear lets you remove the screen clear commands from your AUTO
programs so that they will scroll nicely up the screen when you boot up.
Sentinel watches for disk write errors and lets you know if there's a
problem such as a full disk. This takes the worry out of working with
programs that fail to inform you of errors.
