CONTENTS OF DISK 6
==================
compress Compress reduces the size of the named files using
adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding. The amount of compression
obtained depends on the size of the input, the number
of bits per code, and the distribution of common
substrings. Typically, text such as source code or
English is reduced by 50-60%. Compression is generally
much better then that achieved by Huffman coding (as
used in "pack") or adaptive Huffman coding (as used in
"compact"), and takes less time to compute. Great for
saving disk space, or reducing transmission time over
phone lines! Also includes "btoa" and "atob" for
converting binary files to ascii, and then back to
binary (for transmission over links that do not support
8 bits). Author: Thomas Spencer, with improvements by
others
dadc A digital computer impersonating an analog clock
impersonating a digital clock. Author: Perry S.
Kivolowitz
microemacs An upgraded version of microemacs originally
distributed on disk number 2. I don't have an exact
list of changes but the new executable is about 25%
larger, so there must be something in there! One
enhancement is that some functions are now also bound
to function keys. Author: Dave Conroy, with
enhancements by Jack Roose.
mult Mult reads the input comparing adjacent lines. In the
normal case, the second and succeeding copies of
repeated lines are output, and the remainder of the
lines are removed. Repeated lines must be adjacent in
order to be found. Options are present to output the
first of multiple lines, for comparing adjacent lines
by field only, and for specifying the field separator
character. Kind of the opposite of the Unix "uniq"
program. Author: Dennis Bednar
scales Demonstrates use of the Audio functions in the ROM to
produce four voice sound. It uses a simple waveform
(sawtooth) with no amplitude control (ie, envelope) or
frequency variation (ie, vibrato), but these can be
easily implemented. Also includes considerable
documentation on audio device. Author: Steven A.
Bennett
setparallel Allows the CLI user to dynamically change any
particular parallel port parameter. Author: Keith
Stobie and Tom Pohorsky
setserial Allows the CLI user to dynamically change any
particular serial port parameter. Author: Keith Stobie
and Tom Pohorsky
sortc A quicksort based sort program, using separate driver
and sort modules. Originally from a DECUS C
distribution. Claims to be fast, but when operating
entirely out of ram takes 93 seconds to sort its input
file, sort.c, while AmigaDos's sort takes only 43
seconds under the same conditions. Author: Dave Conroy,
Martin Minow, and Ray Van Tassle
stripc Strips comments and extraneous whitespace from C source
files. Useful for compacting the C header files to
increase usable disk space. Author: Chris Metcalf

BBS Stuff Note that this disk contains a number of programs
apparently available only in executable form. I am not
real happy with this trend, but had no way of getting
in contact with the authors who posted these programs
to various BBS's to request source. I have no reason to
believe that any of these executable only postings
contain any deliberate "misfeatures", but you should
always use such programs cautiously.

differently here, or not exist. Hopefully, you'll find
the added features MG provides to be worth the trouble
it takes to make the switch. This is the fourth Beta

CONTENTS OF DISK 51
===================
Bison A replacement for unix "yacc" command. This is from the
GNU (GNU is Not Unix) effort, and was obtained from the
Free Software Foundation. This is a working update to
the version on disk number 4, provided by Johan Widen.
Author: Bob Corbett and Richard Stallman
Compress This is an update to the compress version released on
disk number 6. It is tested and seems to work well
except for a couple glitches noticed at the last minute
(see the README file). Compress reduces the size of the
named files using adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding. The
amount of compression obtained depends on the size of
the input, the number of bits per code, and the
distribution of common substrings. Typically, text such
as source code or English is reduced by 50-60%.
Compression is generally much better then that achieved
by Huffman coding (as used in "pack") or adaptive
Huffman coding (as used in "compact"), and takes less
time to compute. Author: Thomas Spencer, with
improvements by others
Cos A "Wheel Of Fortune" style game in AmigaBasic. Author:

MicroGNUEmacs This diskette contains the latest Amiga version of
MicroGNUEmacs (MG 1b), a small but powerful text editor
that also runs on many other computer systems besides
the Amiga. One of MG's major goals is to be compatible
with its "cousin" GNU Emacs, so certain features you
may have seen in other versions of MicroEmacs may work
differently here, or not exist. Hopefully, you'll find
the added features MG provides to be worth the trouble
it takes to make the switch. As well as the commands
available on *all* systems MG supports, Amiga MG has
many Amiga-specific features: the Amiga mouse (with 24
different functions!), Intuition pull-down menus, the
Browser (a very nice way to select files), Amiga
function keys, a full-screen editing window, and
support for using a different text font in the editing
window. The current version is known to run on the
following systems: 4.2 & 4.3 BSD Unix, Sun 3.2; Ultrix-
32 (BSD Unix); OS9/68k; VMS; Amiga; System V; Eunice;
Primos; Cpm/68k; Atari ST MicroGNUEmacs is based on the
original work of Dave Conroy, author of the public
domain v30 version. It has been greatly enhanced
through the efforts of the following people:
mwm@ucbopal.berkeley.edu (Mike Meyer),
mic@ngp.utexas.edu (Mic Kaczmarczik), blarson@usc-
eclb.arpa (Bob Larson), rtech!daveb@sun.com (Dave

CONTENTS OF DISK 104
====================
AnalytiCalc AnalytiCalc is a large and powerful spreadsheet program
with sufficient extra features to have some pretentions
of acting as an "integrated system". It is a virtual
memory system supporting up to 18000 columns and 18000
rows, multiple equations per cell, an outlining system,
built-in cell annotation, and datafile access from any
cell(s) of the sheet, plus an array of functions not
present in most commercial spreadsheets. This disk
represents the initial Amiga port of AnalytiCalc, and
as such the console interface is somewhat crude and in
addition requires use of a custom keymap (one such is
supplied) for sensible operation. This will be improved
upon, but meanwhile the program is released with
complete sources, documents, and executables. The
graphics program and the DIF file access program are
not yet ported; these will be released when they are
ready. AnalytiCalc for the Amiga uses files compatible
with those for AnalytiCalc on MS-DOS, VMS, or RSX-11M
or IAS. An example project planner spreadsheet is
included in the distribution to show off some of the
things you can do. More example sheets will be
forthcoming in the future. AnalytiCalc also supports
matrix math, FFTs, infinite windowing, linear
regression, date arithmetic, internal and external
macros, LOTS of cell addressing modes, goal seeking in
up to 8 dimensions, and more. AnalytiCalc requires
perhaps 600K of RAM memory, at least one 360K diskette
drive, and AmigaDOS 1.2, plus a larger than default
stack. Display sizes supported can be up to 132
characters wide by up to 76 lines long. Sorry; I don't
think AnalytiCalc supports proportional fonts very
well, though it should manage not to be totally brain
damaged with them. The manual requires an 80 column
printer.

Vlt VLT is both a VT100 emulator and a Tektronix (4014 plus
subset of 4105) emulator, currently in use at SLAC
(Stanford Linear Accelerator Center). Although the
VT100 part was originally based on Dave Wecker et al.'s
VT100, many enhancements were made. The program
requires ARP, and it has an ARexx port. XMODEM 1K/CRC
and Kermit protocol support also included. Other
features include support for additional serial ports,
external file transfer protocols, and "chat" mode. The
Tektronix emulation allows saving IFF files, PostScript
files, and printing bitmaps to the printer. This is
version 4.226, an update to version 4.065 on disk 245
and version 4.036 on disk 226. It comes in two
versions, one with Tektronix emulation, and one
without. Other changes include full XPR version 2.0
support, and a scrollback/review/history buffer. Binary
only. Author: Willy Langeveld

subset of 4105) emulator, currently in use at SLAC
(Stanford Linear Accelerator Center). Although the
VT100 part was originally based on Dave Wecker et al.'s
VT100, many enhancements were made. Features include
use of ARP, an ARexx port, XMODEM 1K/CRC and Kermit
protocols, support for additional serial ports,
external file transfer protocols (XPR), a "chat" mode,
and scrollback/review/history buffer. It comes in two
versions, one with Tektronix emulation, and one
without. The Tektronix emulation allows saving IFF
files, PostScript files, and printing bitmaps to the
printer. This is version 4.428, an update to version
4.226 on disk 257. The major change for this update is
a rewrite of the Tektronix emulation to support almost
all of the Tektronix 4105 escape sequences. Binary

MemGuard MemGuard is a MemWatch-like program which has been
rewritten in assembly language for maximum speed and
efficiency. Unlike MemWatch MemGuard does not run as
Task in a dummy loop but rather as a low-level
interrupt routine which is capable of trapping memory
thrashing even before exec might know of it and even
while task switching is forbidden. In fact the low-
memory area is checked each frame. Virtually no
processing time is wasted, the interrupt routine does
the check in about half a raster scan line's time. This
program was contributed by Ralf Thanner, who spent
three weeks programming & debugging it. In this program
Ralf uses some very delicate tricks to let his
interrupt routine work with Intuition alerts. Version

OPS5c OPS5c is a compiler for the expert system language
OPS5. The compiler takes OPS5 source code as input and
creates a C source code file to be compiled to create
an executable. Arbitrary C code may be linked with the
executable and executed as a result of firing rules.
The system's strong point is its speed and as a result
it sometimes has large executables and large memory
requirements. At least 1 Meg. of memory is suggested.
Binaries only for compiler and run-time library.
Version 1.08a. Requires a C compiler. Authors: Bernie
J. Lofaso, Jr, Dan Miranker and Arun Chandra.
