Heres our third collection of (AGA) Utilities for Workbench 3.0 machines
(A1200 amd A4000/030 and 040 machines). More utilities will follow as and
when released.
CPUCLEAR v3.200
CPUClear is a small hack, inspired by CPUBlit, that replaces the
BltClear()-Routine of the "graphics.library" with a highly optimized 68020
(or higher) version. This gains (in a simple test) approx. 60% speed and
should be even faster on an A3000, because the CPU works more efficiently
with 32-Bit ChipRAM.
DEGRADER v1.30
You upgrade your system and what happens? The idiots who wrote your
favorite program didn't follow the guidelines and it no longer works. This
is where degrader comes in, it will try to degrade your system so that the
old brain dead program will work on your machine. You can also just use it
to boot off floppy drives other than DF0:, force your machine to PAL or
NTSC, turn the audio filter on or off and other things. Please note that
many of Degrader's functions are hacks in that they may not work on future
versions of the Amiga hardware or software. The Early Startup Control
provided in Kickstart 3.0 (just hold down both mouse buttons at reset to
use) will help getting old software to work as well. Use its options where
possible as they are more likely to work.
DISKMATE v4.0
DiskMate will perform the following tasks Multitasking, Multi drive
Diskcopier Dos/NonDos, Multi drive Disk formatter Multi drive Disk eraser,
Disk Installer, Floppy disk Checker and Floppy disk Cruncher (DMS)
FASTGIFF II v1.01
FastGIF II is The GIF viewer. This new version has been rewritten, now
there is a real user interface, a file-requester, gadgets, and also
short-cut, now you can display picture in a screen as before and in a
WorkBench window. FastGIF II takes advantage of the new AGA chipset. It's
always the FASTEST GIF viewer on Amiga.
QDISK v1.00
QDisk is a workbench program to display the space usage of your AMIGA DOS
devices. Although Qdisk will work from the CLI I recommend it be used from
the workbench. QDisk will not accept arguments from CLI.
THE DISK UTE v2.0
The Disk Ute is a multitasking copier/formatter written with ease of use
and speed in mind. The program supports high density Amiga disks and works
happily on an A4000/3000/1200/2000/600/500. It requires Workbench 2.0x
upwards. It is easy enough to use that I will give only a brief
explanation of the various functions.
WBGENIE v1.02
WBGenie is a WB program launcher with a difference. It is intended to be a
WB interface to a set of WB programs (which I am in the process of writing)
to make performing housekeeping chores on the Amiga simple. There are
already shareware and public domain programs which perform housekeeping
functions. You may very easily configure WBGenie to use any of these.
(i.e. WBGenie will launch any WB program, not just those I supply.) The
underlying philosophy behind WBGenie is that the programs it launches
should have simple intuitive interfaces which can be passed parameters via
the WB.
WBVERLAUF
WBVerlauf lets you create nice color effects for a selectable pen color
number on the Workbench screen, using the whole 16 million color range of
the AGA chips.
YAPS v1.0d
is (yet another) Program to open and close Public Screens. The main
feature of YAPS is that you can use ALL (even the new A4000/A1200)
Amiga-Screenmodes. Therefore Yaps generates a list of the available modes
to choose from.
