CONTENTS OF DISK 42
-------------------
To quote the "Read Me First" file:
This diskette contains the Amiga version of MicroGNUEmacs (MG),
a small but powerful text editor that 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.
From the "Read Me Second" file:
This is the fourth Beta distribution of MicroGnuEmacs. Beyond the
work of Dave Conroy, author of the original public domain v30, this
contains the efforts of:
[email protected] Mike Meyer
[email protected] Mic Kaczmarczik
[email protected] Bob Larson
[email protected] Dave Brower
A very nice job guys! Congratulations.
This disk is essentially unchanged except that I have added the usual
README.dist and README.list files, along with changing the volume name
to AmigaLibDisk42. The original volume name was "MG 1a".
CONTENTS OF DISK 41

CONTENTS OF DISK 40
-------------------
Note that many of the programs on this disk are shareware/freeware.
This means that if you find them useful, you are morally obligated
to send a small donation to the author to help support his efforts and
fund further development. I hope that by including them in this
library I have furthered the author's goals of widest possible
distribution and thus maximum return. Also note (for those that
like to split hairs) that I am distributing this disk as a "freebee".
To receive a copy, just request it when ordering any other disks from
the library.

CONTENTS OF DISK 37
-------------------
It is port of Timothy Budd's Little Smalltalk system, done by Bill
Kinnersley at Washington State University.
The disk is unchanged except for the following:
(1) I have added this file, README.list37.
(2) I have added the standard distribution info file,
README.dist.
(3) In order to make room for the above two files (the
disk only had 2 free blocks) I filtered all the text
files in the sources, docs, and examples directories
through a program to remove extraneous CR (^M) characters
from the end of each line. This also makes the files
conform to standard Amiga and Unix line delimiter
conventions. I hope this didn't break anything else
in the process...
(4) I have added the file sources/Makefile to help people
who want to recompile the sources. It uses my cc
frontend. I was able to compile and link an executable
that was almost the same size as the one Bill provided
(100 bytes smaller) using Manx 3.20B in 16-bit int mode,
but it aborted immediately with an error message, so
beware.

CONTENTS OF DISK 35 (tentative)
-------------------
This disk is still under construction but should be finished in the next
couple of days. One thing this disk will have, and **YOU WANT THIS**
is a public domain release of the Triclops Invasion game by Geodesic
Publications. This was previously a commercial product (see page 105 of
Sept/Oct Amiga World for ad), and the publisher has decided to release
it as PD to help promote their new version currently under development.
Just got it today, and it is by far the best available public domain
graphics oriented game that I have seen for the Amiga (I'm talking here
about action games, not necessarily strategy games like Hack).

on the AMIGA using a special loader. Binary only.
CONTENTS OF DISK 23
-------------------
This disk contains a significantly enhanced version of microemacs based
on the version 30 release posted to usenet's mod.sources newsgroup.
Previous versions of microemacs released on these disks derived from
a very old version of microemacs. Since that old release, the author
has cleaned up lots of loose ends and restructured major parts of the code.
Other people have already added support for termcap, ports to other machines
and operating systems, and a limited GNU emacs compatibility option.
Because recipients of this disk might wish to run this new microemacs
on other machines in addition to the Amiga, I have encluded all sources
that were available to me at the time of release. The subdirectories
which give alternate implementations are:
Sys/Vms System modules for VAX VMS
Sys/Atari System modules for Atari ST
Sys/Msdos System modules for MSDOS
Sys/Cpm86 System modules for Cpm
Sys/Amiga System modules for Amiga
Sys/Ultrix System modules for Ultrix/BSD4.2
Sys/SysV System modules for Unix System V
Tty/Atari Terminal driver for Atari ST
Tty/7300 Terminal driver for AT&T Unix PC (7300)
Tty/Intuition Terminal driver for Amiga using Intuition
Tty/Termcap Terminal driver using termcap for Unix
Tty/Ansi Terminal driver using Ansi codes
Tty/Amigados Terminal driver for Amiga using just Amigados
Tty/Heath Terminal driver for a Heath terminal
There currently is a major effort underway on usenet, led by Dave
Brower, to standardize microemacs and bring the many variations under
one common implementation. Please send any enhancements to rtech!daveb,
or send them to me and I will see that he gets them.
CONTENTS OF DISK 22
-------------------
This disk contains two new "strains" of microemacs, both derived from
early releases of Dave Conroy's microemacs. There is currently an
attempt on usenet, lead by Dave Brower, to coordinate an effort to
merge features from the different versions into a single supported
microemacs. In the meantime, perhaps you can find a feature you need
in one of these...
Lemacs Microemacs version 3.6 as enhanced and supported
by Daniel Lawrence. This version works and has been
tested on Unix V7, BSD 4.2, Amiga, MS-DOS, and VMS.
Enhancements include overwrite mode, support for Amiga
function keys, reverse video status line, numeric
arguments using <ESC><number>, replace, buffer specific
editing modes, word wrap mode, goto-line, buffer rename,
insert-file, execute named command, describe bindings,
startup files, and more.
Author: Dave Conroy, enhancements by Daniel Lawrence
Pemacs Microemacs as enhanced by Andy Poggio. New features
include use of <ALT> keys as Meta keys, default buffers
on buffer switch, mouse support, higher priority to
improve interactive response, creation of backup files,
paragraph fill, word wrap, query replace, and support for
function keys.

No speekee basic so if these don't work, call someone else.
CONTENTS OF DISK 12
-------------------
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.

----------------------
disk7 The "Hack" games disk, derived from sources on disk 8.
Version 1.0.1. This also contains some icons and other files
that are not reproducable from the contents of the source
disk (number 8), so number 7 and number 8 should really be
ordered as a set. Both disks are almost full. It's huge!

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.

| Thanks for posting .0 I sent the file out to a laser printer and
plan on using it as a reference for PD programs .This way if I see
something I like I can look for it on PLINK where you can search
by name for files you want to download. This will save me some time
looking through the file discriptions online .
