========================== Contents of Disk 290 ==========================
This is disk 290 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
DPlot A simple display program for experimental data, with the
goals of supporting paging through lots of data and
providing comfortable scaling and presentation. This is
version 2.0, an update to version 1.0 on disk 237, and
incorporates several significant enhancements. Binary
only.
Author: A. A. Walma
IPC An IPC (Inter-Process Communication) package, with the
goal of creating a standard for IPC on the Amiga that
is flexible enough to handle the widest possible range
of applications. The protocol used addresses different
problem areas than ARexx, and emphasizes different aspects
of the communication process, such as fast communication
and preservation of data structure. Includes source.
Author: Pete Goodeve and Peter da Silva
KillReq A small program which disables Intuition's AutoRequest
function. In particular, this prevents AmigaDOS from
putting up system requesters, which is useful if you are
operating your Amiga remotely and can't use the mouse to
click CANCEL. Unlike similar utilities which affect only
a single CLI, KillReq disables ALL requesters. This is
version 1.0 and includes C source.
Author: Eddy Carroll
Xicon Xicon lets you use icons to call up scripts containing CLI
commands. This is version 2.5, an update to version 2.01
on disk 157. New features include automatic selection of
the correct execution directory, the option to have
keyboard interaction, and the use of IF, ELSE, etc DOS
commands. Binary only.
Author: Pete Goodeve
========================== Contents of Disk 291 ==========================
This is disk 291 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
GMC A console handler with command line editing and function
key support. GMC provides extended command line editing,
function key assignment in four levels, extended command
line history, online help for functions in the handler,
and an iconify function. Version 4.0, binary only.
Author: Gotz Muller
Keyboard Functions to translate RAWKEY Intuition messages into
usable keycodes. Includes source.
Author: Fabbian Dufoe
Sim A simulator for register-transfer nets, which are used to
describe hardware systems. This version also provides
a compiler to define new devices in addition to Sim's
internal devices. This is version 4.2, an update to
version 4.0 on disk 229. Binary only.
Author: Gotz Muller
SKsh A ksh-like shell for the Amiga. Some of its features
include command substitution, shell functions with
parameters, aliases, local variables, local functions,
local aliases, powerful control structures and tests,
emacs style line editing and history functions, I/O
redirection, pipes, large variety of built-in commands,
Unix style wildcards, Unix style filename conventions,
filename completion, and coexistence with scripts from
other shells. Very well documented. Version 1.2, an
update to version 1.0 on disk 279, where it was called
ash. Binary only.
Author: Steve Koren
========================== Contents of Disk 292 ==========================
This is disk 292 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
Devstat Assembly code example of locating and listing information
about all mounted devices. Includes source.
Author: Fabrice Lienhardt
FileRequest Assembly code example of a file requester. This is
version 2.0, an update to version 1.0 on disk 173, where
it was called FileSelect. New features include 3 speed
scrolling of filenames and ghosting of unavailable
devices. Includes source.
Author: Fabrice Lienhardt
MultiPlot A package for making 2D plots conveniently. Tim Mooney
wrote the original program, which was then enhanced by
Alan Baxter with a nicer user interface, support for
the PLT: device, and support for file conversions. Rich
Champeaux and Jim Miller wrote the PLT: handler which
emulates a plotter by accepting HP-GL commands, creating
a raster image, then dumping it to any preferences supported
graphics printer. This is version XLN and includes source
to MultiPlot. Update to version 1.2 on disk 231, where it
was called just "Plot". This version is 2D only.
Author: Alan Baxter, Tim Mooney, Rich Campeaux, Jim Miller
========================== Contents of Disk 293 ==========================
This is disk 293 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
ClockDJ A utility which combines a clock, mouse accelerator,
screen blanker, window manipulator, function keys, and
macros into a single program, written in assembly
language for maximum efficiency. Includes an ARexx
port. Version 4.07, binary only.
Author: David Jenkins
CrcLists Complete CRC check files for disks 001-292 using the brik
program. These were made directly from my master disks.
I have switched to brik, from the crc program used to make
the lists on disks 133, 146, and 173, because it has more
features and because source is available. This is an
update to the lists on disk 233.
Author: Fred Fish
========================== Contents of Disk 294 ==========================
This is disk 294 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
DNet A link protocol that provides essentially an unlimited
number of reliable connections between processes on
two machines, where each end of the link can be
either an Amiga or a Unix (BSD4.3) machine. Works
on the Amiga with any EXEC device that looks like the
serial.device. Works on UNIX with tty and socket
devices. Achieves better than 95% average throughput
on file transfers. This is version 2.10.13, an update
to version 2.0 released on disk 220. Includes sources
for both the Amiga and Unix versions.
Author: Matt Dillon
FmsDisk A file based trackdisk simulator, useful for creating
a floppy-like partition on your hard disk (so you can
diskcopy to a floppy) without actually having to create
a special partition for it. Also useful for testing
new filesystems and such. Supports up to 32 units,
with either the old filesystem or the new fast filesystem.
Includes source.
Author: Matt Dillon
========================== Contents of Disk 295 ==========================
This is disk 295 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.
GnuGrep The grep program from the GNU project. Replaces grep
fgrep, egrep, and bmgrep. Currently does not expand
Amiga style wildcards, so if you wish to scan multiple
files you will need to use it with a shell that does this
for you. This is version 1.5, an update to version 1.3
on disk 204. Includes source.
Author: Many (see README file)
Lhwarp A program which will read tracks directly from your floppy
disk, compress them using adaptive huffman encoding, and
output them to a file. The resulting file can be used by
lhwarp to reconstruct an image of the original disk. This
is version 1.03 and includes source.
Author: Jonathan Forbes
MandelMountains
A program that renders three-dimensional images of
blowups of the Mandelbrot set. Includes several example
images. Version 1.1, shareware, binary only.
Author: Mathias Ortmann

the design goal of combining the modern structured
approach of Pascal with t
