Scheme2C A Scheme compiler which accepts the language defined in the
essential portions of Revised Report on Algorithmic Language
Scheme, with minor constraints and some additions. The
compiler produces C source files which are then compiled
using the system's C compiler (Lattice C 5.10 on the Amiga)
to produce conventional object and executable files. Because
of the size of the distribution, it has been split onto three
disks as follows: source and documentation archives on 556,
M68000 binary archive on 557, and M68020 binary archive on
558. This Amiga port was done by Mike Meyer, based on the
28-Sep-90 version of the translator.

DataPlot A program that plots data and algebraic functions in 2D. The
user simply clicks on an option screen to select various
options, such as type of marker, log or linear axis, auto vs
manual scaling, gridlines. The macro language makes similar,
repetitive plots easy to do. Data points can be transformed
by an algebraic function prior to plotting. A macro can be
automatically executed upon startup-up. Plots in any resolu-
tion from 320x200 to 640x400. Plots can be saved as macro
commands and IFF ILBM files. Prints directly to Epson compa-
tible printers, or to any Preferences supported graphics
printer via the PLT: device. This is version 2.16, which now
includes a Legend command, and is now freeware. Fixes several
bugs, including the optimizer for DrawFunction. Update to
version 2.1 on disk 532. Source available from the author.

Integrates a spreadsheet with hundreds of functions and 18000

by 18000 cell address space, with a complete disk based DBMS,
and functions permitting one to move relations or selections
of relations in either direction between spreadsheet and data-
base. In this way, large relations can be stored on disk, yet
accessed as needed in the spreadsheet, from whence they can be
computed with or plotted. The command language of RIM is fair-
ly close to SQL and documents for it are included. Also sup-
ports GnuPlot to provide flexible plotting. A minimum of 2Mb
of memory is recommended, of which 750K must be contiguous.
Because the full distribution would not fit on a single disk,
it has been split onto two disks, with disk 593 containing the
executable and needed "keypad" command files, and disk 594
containing the source and documentation.
