- AMIGA Plus Disk Information
-
- If this is your original disk that came with AMIGA Plus,
- PLEASE MAKE A COPY IMMEDIATELY!
-
- This disk features the following executable programs:
-
- VirusX - Brand-new Version 3.2 of Steve Tibbett's Public Domain virus
- fighting program is in the Utility drawer. The documentation
- is found in the file VirusX.docs. We have included this
- utility because we feel that every Amiga user should be
- protected from contracting and spreading computer viruses.
- Also included in the VirusX package is the stand-alone
- program KV and its instructions, KV.docs, which must both be
- accessed from the CLI. KV will check files or directories for
- infection by the IRQ virus.
-
- SuperView - Version 2.1 of David Grothe's outstanding IFF picture display
- program is in the Art drawer. Instructions are in
- SuperView.doc. This is the most powerful 'show' utility we
- have seen, it is used to display any pictures on this disk.
-
- CalcFFP - In the Programming directory, CalcFFP is the assembled
- executable code from Dr. Dan Wolf's Math library assembly
- language programming article. It will do basic calculations
- using the Amiga floating point math routines, and is small
- enough to fit on a nearly full Workbench disk. The source is
- in CalcFFP.asm. A brief note called ASMRead.me is also
- included. Double-clicking on the MathAsm icon will display the
- source file and notes.
-
- Iff2Geo - A handy utility by Eric Cosky which will convert an IFF
- picture into a 3D object (.geo) file for use with 3D programs
- from Aegis and others. Instructions are in the file
- "Iff2Geo.docs". It is in the Utility Drawer.
-
- FunPaint - A simple paint program by John Casasanta is in the Utility
- drawer. Instructions are in "FunPaint.Docs". This program
- is very small, but will create IFF pictures in any standard
- format (sorry no overscan) including HAM! It will also load
- standard IFF files... sometimes.
-
- ColorText - A small program to fix the system's Text() routine so that
- ColorFonts (tm Interactive Softworks) can be displayed. It is
- in the Fonts drawer. More information is in the file
- "ColorText.Docs" and in the AMIGAPlus article on
- fonts by Lion Kuntz.
-
- Backgammon - In the Gammon drawer, a cute version of a famous game.
-
- The Art directory contains SuperView and its instructions, a script file
- called "Pictures" and its icon, and two pictures. Mex_Triptych is a
- SuperBitMap (3 screens wide!) IFF picture created by Lewis Tilley for his
- Deluxe PhotoLab article. You can scroll it sideways by holding the left
- mouse button while moving the mouse sideways (if SuperView is showing it).
- The right mouse button will close the picture. Unfortunately, this large a
- picture requires alot of memory; users with 512k may not be able to view
- it. WoodLand2 is a ray-traced picture by Louis Markoya to accompany his
- article on 3-D organic object rendering. All the objects in the picture
- were mathematically defined as 3-D objects! Pictures is a script file with
- an icon which will show the pics on the disk automatically.
-
- The Utility directory holds VirusX and KV, the virus hunter programs and
- their docs. Also in Utility are Iff2Geo and its instructions and
- FunPaint with docs.
-
- The Fonts directory contains ColorText and its instructions as well as
- three versions of the Sherbert font: Sherbert 48, the normal font;
- Sherbert 61, a ColorFont; and Sherbert.IFont, an InterFont which is useful
- for structured drawing programs (like CAD or 3-D programs) because it can
- be scaled and rotated without distortion. Read Lion Kuntz' Fonts article
- in this issue of AMIGAPlus for more information. There is also an
- IFF picture, FontPic, which shows you what Sherbert 48 and 61 look like.
-
- The Programming directory contains the assembler file CalcFFP.asm along
- with some notes and the executable. See Dan Wolf's Assembly language Fast
- Floating Point (FFP) article for details.
-
- The Gammon directory has a backgammon game in it, along with all the
- little files it needs in order to run. Just double-click on the
- Backgammon icon to play.
-
- The Drawer directory is empty... but the chest of drawers would look
- pretty silly without that drawer. The "Chest of Drawers" icons (and other
- icons on this disk) were created by icon artist Gary Roseman. Use them
- for your own disks! The chest can be made higher by copying the middle
- two drawer icons and inserting them appropriately.
-
- The entire disk has been processed with Blitz A Disk (B.A.D.) from M.V.
- Micro (distributed by Centaur Software Inc.) in order to speed up disk
- access. The format is the same as all AmigaDOS disks, but the files have
- been reorganized so that the icons are found and displayed very quickly.
