Disks 111 to 118 are now ready for release. The official release will occur at the World of Commodore show in Toronto tomorrow (I've got a flight to catch in a couple hours). Mailing of preordered disks should begin on Monday after I get back, and be complete by about Wednesday of next week. These disks contain a fair amount of the material from the Badge Killer Demo Contest, but I still have about half of the dozen or so disks to go through, not to mention a box full of stuff that people have sent me recently, and all the material that has come across Usenet in the last couple of months. So if your favorite goodie hasn't shown up yet, keep the faith just a little longer... :-) :-) Each time I post an "availability" message for a new release, I get a flood of email inquiries about how and where to get disks, and requests for a catalog of the existing disks, thus I'll include the info here again for new Usenet readers. To get a copy of the catalog disk, which contains a database of all current disks and ordering information, send a blank disk and two loose first class stamps to: Fred Fish Catalog Disk Request 1346 West 10th Place Tempe, Arizona 85281 USA One last note; I get frustrated when I get email from people and then can't get a message back to them because of some sort of braindamage in the return path. Please don't assume that just because you never saw a bounced message, that it actually got through to me, or even if it did, that I ignored it. I DO RESPOND TO ALL MY MAIL. I don't spend ANY time trying to figure out how to work around bad paths if my response gets bounced back. For best results, include your phone number in case the email route fails completely. Thanks! Below is a listing of the contents of disks 111 to 118: CONTENTS OF DISK 111 -------------------- AmyLoad A graphical monitor of cpu, blitter, and memory use. Includes two components; load.device, which monitors system parameters, and amyload, which is the user interface and display program. Includes source. Author: Jeff Kelley AssignDev Assigns multiple names to a given device. For example, allows the names "df0:" and "df3:" to refer to the same physical device. This is a modified version of the original released on disk number 79. Includes source. Author: Phillip Lindsay, mods by Olaf Seibert Gauge Continuously displays memory usage in a vertical bar graph, similar to the workbench "fuel gauge" type display for disk space. Binary only. Author: Peter da Silva HeliosMouse Another "sunmouse" type program. Automatically activates a window simply by moving the mouse pointer into the window. Version 1.1, an update to the version released on disk 94. Includes source. Author: Davide Cervone Labels Alphabetic and numeric ordered cross reference lists of defined system constants. Recommended for debugging purposes only, use the symbolic values in programs! Author: Olaf Seibert Mandel Another mandelbrot generator program, with bits and pieces of code from C. Heath and R.J.

For more laughs, try in conjunction with Viacom or Ds (Dropshadow). Includes source. Author: Bryce Nesbitt CONTENTS OF DISK 113 -------------------- AmiCron A simple Unix "cron" type program, which is a background task that uses a disk-resident table to automatically run certain tasks on a regular basis, at specific times. Version 2.3, includes source. Author: Steve Sampson, Amiga port by Rick Schaeffer Dme Version 1.28f of Matt's text editor. Dme is a simple WYSIWYG editor designed for programmers.

Schaub CONTENTS OF DISK 114 -------------------- CDecl English to C (and vice versa) translator for C declarations.
