Amibroker250E.lha (352K)

Amibroker is one of those financial programs, to keep track of your stocks, when to buy, when to sell, etc. But sheesh! What can you say about this one? Where Agraph was simple, Amibroker has a feature list several screens long! Take it from me, folks, this thing means serious business! When started, it opens up a high-res interlaced screen, with a list of stocks, like Intel, MS, Motorola, etc. Also on-screen, are some very detailed graphs of those stocks, updated to the Amibroker's release date, about half-way '97. The stocks you choose to follow can be updated by ASCII, or even by Teletext! One of those Teletext decoder things will probably be needed for that feature, though. At first, Amibroker is pretty overwhelming to say the least, but it can be operated by a Classact style button bank, if you wish, or by the standard WB menus. This makes things more bearable already. There is also a good Amigaguide included with the program, so the author has definitely gone out of his way to make it as usable as possible, while keeping the program immensely powerful. Having compared it to the commercial PC program other members of my family use to keep track of stocks, Amibroker still doesn't seem to lose out, so if you want to seriously keep track of stocks on your Amiga, I'd suggest you download Amibroker, register it, and get going. If I have to name a flaw, it would be that you can't download the latest stock developments from the net, but surely the author is working to rectify that. Amibroker represents real power at a minimum price, so a definite 9 mark can be awarded here.

ASpice.lha (156K)

ASpice is a circuit simulator, and unfortunately not an Amiga Spice girl emulator. Hmm. ASpice is based on the Spice 2G.6 program written by the University of California at Berkely, and therefore way way over my head. I think you input a circuit diagram or something, and it tests it for you, outputting the results in a text file for reading in any text editor, like Emacs, or even Ed. It seems to work, and looks pretty powerful, so I'll give a 7.

Bud111.lha (156K)

Bud is a small budget management program. It allows you to keep track of all your incomes and expenses including taxes etc. You can plan what you expect to earn, to spend, and it will produce that in graphs, where you can see what you planned to spend, did infact spend, etc. For simple budget management, and for people who can never keep track of where their cash has gone, it's just the ticket. Otherwise, you are likely to find this slightly featureless, when you get to the tricky stuff like calculating your taxes etc. Basically this is for keeping track of things only. Mark:7

EO230.lha (430K)

EO, or Everyday Organiser, is a full suite of programs designed for you to manage your day- to-day activities, and plan your time, etc. It consists of a main suite of 3 programs, and an extras suite containing four more, so it certainly should cover everything. The main suite is made up of On-time, a program to manage all kinds of events you may have every day, Alarmist, the main program, which when used in conjunction with On-time will tell you when somehting's coming up so you don't forget, and Locate, a program to keep track of adresses, notes, etc. The extras suite harbours Timeprefs, a replacement for the WB time prefs which directly supports On-time and alarmist, Talk, a say replacement, Sam, a small CLI datatype sound player, and Coder, a small CLI program to encrypt files. All need MUI to run. Everday Organiser is quite a remarkable suite, with a lot of programs all supporting eachother. Using the suite approach instead of a single program has worked quite well here, with alarmist keeping you on track, and On-time to keep a kind of diary. The extras suite gives it some extra gloss, to really round off a good product. Mark:8
