This is disk 3 from the "Gold Fish" series, which is a collection of some of the best games, programs, examples, demos, etc from the Freely Distributable Amiga Software Library (aka "Fish disks"). Disk 3 contains a selection of some of the more useful utilities for enhancing the Amiga software development and execution environment. ASDG-rrd Extremely useful shareware recoverable ram disk. This AmigaDOS device driver implements a completely DOS compatible disk device in memory that survives resets, guru's, and crashes. An absolute must for those with lots of ram. Binary only, from disk number 58. Author: Perry Kivolowitz, ASDG Inc. AuxHandler Example of a dos handler that allows use of a CLI via the serial port. Source available on disk number 79. Author: Steve Drew ClickToFront ClickToFront extends the user-interface so that a double-click into a window brings it to the front. Now as long as you can see any part of a window you can bring it to the front without having to hunt for the page gadgets. Version 1.1, source available on disk number 86. Author: Bryce Nesbitt Cmd Cmd redirects the serial.device or parallel.device output to a file. Useful for capturing print jobs for debugging or "offline" printing. Version 4, source will be on a disk after disk 90. Author: Carolyn Scheppner Commodities Commodities Exchange, an Amiga exec library which can be opened and used by application programs to gain access to input in a very flexible way. This is a "minimal, binary only" copy. Source may be available on a future disk. Version 0.4, from disk number 87. Author: Jim Mackraz DiskSalv Program to recover files from a trashed AmigaDOS disk. Can also "undelete" files deleted by mistake, so long as they have not overwritten by further disk activity. Requires two disk drives. Source available on disk number 20. VERY useful... Author: Dave Haynie DropShadow A program that makes your WorkBench windows have dropshadows. This is version 2.0, source available on disk number 87. Author: Jim Mackraz HardCopy A neat little program that creates a hardcopy transcript of any CLI session (like the unix "script" program). Source available on disk number 75. Author: Davide Cervone IconExec These two tools allow execution of a program from an & SetWindow icon without having to recompile the program. Source available on disk number 12. Author: John Toebes VIII IconType Change the type of an icon after editing with IconEd. Types are Disk, Drawer, Tool, Project, Garbage, and Device. Source available on disk number 69. Author: Larry Phillips ID-Handler An AmigaDOS device handler, that generates unique identifiers. Generates a new unique 16 digit decimal number each time it is opened by an application. Version 1.0, source available on disk number 87. Author: Ed Puckett LowMem Another fine freely redistributable product from ASDG. This one is a low memory server, which is a compact shared library which allows arbitrary processes to register their desire to be notified of impending memory shortages. This allows good citizen programs to free up memory that they may not need, so other programs can use it. Binary only. From disk number 85. Author: Perry Kivolowitz MemWatch Memwatch is a program intended to sit in the background and watch for random trashing of low memory by an application under development. If it detects a write to low memory, it repairs it to what used to be there, then puts up a requester indicating what damage had been done. Very useful! Version II, source available on disk number 87. Author: John Toebes MoreRows A program to make the workbench screen larger than normal. The number of additional rows and columns are set via command line arguments. Binary only, from disk number 54. Author: Neil Katin and Jim Mackraz NewZAP A third-generation multi-purpose file sector editing utility, from the author of FileZAP. Displays and edits full 512-byte sectors via a 106 character wide internal font. Includes a search feature to find specific strings or hex digits, forwards or backwards. Version 3.0, source available on disk number 58. Author: John Hodgson PipeHandler An AmigaDOS pipe device which supports OPEN, CLOSE, READ, WRITE, LOCK, EXAMINE, and EXNEXT. Thus you can have "named pipes". It also supports "taps" on a pipe, to capture all data flowing through the pipe. Version 1.2, source available on disk number 84. Author: Ed Puckett PopCLI Provides a simple way of starting another CLI at any time without having to load workbench or exit whatever program you may be using. Also has a builtin screen saver mode that automatically blanks the Amiga console screen when there has been no input for a specified period of time. Version III, source available on disk number 84. Author: John Toebes SetAlternate Merge the images from two icons to produce one icon with a primary image, and a possibly completely different image to display when selected. Source available on disk number 12. Author: John Toebes VIII SetFont Program to change the font used by a workbench screen. Version 2.0, source available on disk number 75. Author: Dave Haynie Spool The SPOOL system consists of 3 programs: A queue manager, a printer driver, and a SPOOL request program. The SPOOL system demonstrates the power of the Amiga's mutitasking abilities in a very practical way. It makes extensive use of Amiga Exec's message passing facilities and list-handling primitives. Version 1.2, source on disk number 69. Author: Tim Holloway SunMouse Makes your mouse behave like the Sun Microsystem's Sunwindows mouse. You no longer have to 'click' in a window to make it active.
