1812.ARC DMCS version of the 1812 Overture. Requires some non-DMCS
instruments.
ANIM.ARC A program for viewing animations.
BERSERK.ARC Remember the Juggler? Some people think this is better!
BURGER.ARC Have a Big Mac Attack and get this icon. Use ICONTYPE to
change it. Right now its a DISK.INFO icon.
CANON.ARC Canon PJ1080A printer driver.
COLORCUBE.ARC A simple way to determine RGB codes for screen colors.
This utility makes it easy to set the foreground,
background, bold, and cursor colors of Wecker's VT100 or
Leibow's VT200 emulators.
EIGHT.ARC Yes Virginia, an eight color Workbench can be a reality
in just two minutes.
EPSONLQ.ARC This is a fine LQ800 or LQ850 printer driver that supports
the four graphics densities that these printers are
capable of. I use it with my LQ850. Densities are set
in Preferences through different combinations of the
LETTER/DRAFT and 8 LPI/6 LPI settings. The READ.ME file
explains it all. A driver for the LQ1000 or LQ1050 is also
included.
ICONTOOLS.ARC Contains ICONTYPE, ZAPICON, and ALTICON along with docs.
All the tools you need to create animated icons and change
the function of existing icons.
KAHNANKAS.ARC An extraordinary animation of clacking steel balls.
LABELS.ARC A simple labelmaker utility for standard-sized
(2 1/2" x 15/16") tractor-fed labels. Selectable for
one, two, or three labels across. This utility is
ideal for generating labels for monthly bills, since
it will optionally print sequential MmmYY in the upper left
corner of each label. I use it all the time.
MACH16.ARC The latest mouse accelerator, with hotkeys, sun mouse,
click-to-front, call coster, clock, and much more.
MICROVAX.ARC An IFF and PS picture of the new MicroVAX 3500 and 3600.
MOVIE.ARC A utility to play all those neat animations like KAHNANKAS.
NEWZAP.ARC V3.1 of the best PD disk editor around.
RUNBACK.ARC Use this to execute tasks in the background without tying
up a CLI window. Great for running out of your
startup-sequence. See START.ARC for a sample.
SHELL207.ARC Drew's latest Amiga Shell with documentation.
SNIPIT.ARC A great cut and paste utility that you should have for
your Workbench.
SOUNDS.ARC Nice PD sound editor with sample sound files.
SOLITAIRE.ARC No Amiga hacker should be without this nice PD game.
Runs under AmigaBASIC.
START.ARC My DF0:S/STARTUP-SEQUENCE file.
TIMSAV.ARC Program that you call from your startup-sequence file to
automatically set the time on your Amiga 1000 even if your
Time Saver is turned OFF. Also sets the time without the
need for a warm reboot after starting from power-on as is
the case with current Time Saver firmware.
VT100.ARC The latest version of Wecker's "Hall of Fame" terminal
emulator (V2.8) with lot's of third party extras.
VT200.ARC Leibow's infamous VT200 terminal emulator (V1.0).
FOR DEC INTERNAL USE ONLY!!
VT201.ARC Leibow's latest VT200 terminal emulator (V1.1).
FOR DEC INTERNAL USE ONLY!!
WIZ.ARC A well done CLI utility.
WW.ARC An excellent public domain word processor with nifty
outline feature and TOC generator. Complete with
user's guide.

Automatically paginates and places a header at the
top of each page. The header includes the date,
filename, and page number in bolded characters.

TCP1.UUE TCP software for the Amiga. Hams on Packet - get these
TCP2.UUE two files!

titlebar. Instruction are in the first few lines -- so edit
them out before UUDECODEing.
USA1.UUE Just in case you want to purchase an Amiga 2000 keyboard
for use with your Amiga 1000. You'll need this keymap.

NEWZAP.ZOO Same as NEWZAP.ARC 'cept this file is ZOO'ed.
STEP.ZOO Speed up your disk drive head step rates considerably
with this fine utility. 1500 ticks is a good choice.
It also dramatically reduces drive-head chatter during
accesses. I run it out of my startup-sequence.

| 1233.1 | some pesty questions... | WJG::GUINEAU | Do you know we exist? | Wed Mar 09 1988 11:38 | 8 |
Whats TCP? (I know it's some kind of communications program, but what does it do?) And is MACGAG.EXE any good? John | |||||
| 1233.2 | AUTHOR::MACDONALD | WA1OMM Listening 52.525 | Wed Mar 09 1988 13:31 | 4 | |
Dunno about TCP, I don't use it.
MACGAG is merely a widget that causes windows to open and close
similar to the Mac.

| 1233.3 | Latest List from PAULY"AMIGA":: | DICKNS::MACDONALD | WA1OMM Listening 52.525 | Thu Apr 28 1988 00:31 | 195 |
The following list reflect public domain files currently stored on this
system. COPY files directly to your VMS account. Then download them to
your Amiga. DO NOT attempt to download to your Amiga directly from
PAULY"AMIGA"::. Thanks and have fun.
