4into sprite files for use by any other programs.
4Mr. J. Robbins.

4change it to another? Well here's the solution. 22 different colour
4sets
4Stuart Ford. v1.01.


!AMPCALC
4AmpCalc has many interesting and useful features.  A few of these
4are:
4+ Calculations with decimal places (rounded if not in decimal
4mode)
4+ Follows Style Guide
4+ SWI number<>name conversion.
4+ Correctly copes with OS_WriteI+num and OS_WriteI+"A"
4(OS_SWINumberFromString doesn't...)
4+ ASCII code<>character conversion.
4+ Bytes<>Kbytes quick conversion.
4+ Sprite multipliers for raw sprite data.
4This application is Shareware but registration is free.
4Ainsley M. Pereira © 1993,1994. v1.77.


!BANNER
!Banner is inspired by a plea in the DataFile catalogue for a
4program that will display banners for a predetermined time just like
4Impression does. The brief stated the need to display a sprite on
4the desktop with the ability to overlay text in any font and at any
4size upon the sprite. !Banner is designed to be placed within the
4directory of an application that needs a banner displayed.
4!Banner acheives this using a script 'Language' which allows all
4these paramters to be changed easily and quickly in a seperate Text
4file whose name can be specified by the user and is placed within
4!Banner's directory. The sprite to be displayed is contained within
4a file whose name can be user-defined as can the name of the sprite
4to be displayed. The size of this sprite is determined and a window
4is created to fit the sprite and centred upon the screen and
4displayed for a period of time defined in the script file.
4!Banner is supplied with an application that allows you to easily
4and quickly produce script files.
4Brian D. Marsden.  v0.10.

4selected and bred together, or a single specimen can be bred
4from asexually.  The 12 specimens then become the parents
4plus 11 or 10 offspring. These can then be selected and
4bred from etc. John Hedley.

4the day (it reads the internal clock to detiemine the rate that is
4currently operative!)
4Dave Walsh.


!CLONE
4!Clone breaks protection designed not to be able to be copied, ie.

4Glyn Furlong.  Risc OS 3.1 or greater.


!DBASSIST
4DBAssist is a small utility program to aid debugging desktop
4programs.  Instead of having to use Wimp_ReportError to display
4variables etc. whilst debugging, or writing them to a file which
4possibly could be corrupted if the software crashes the machine, it
4should send a wimp message to DBAssist, which will then display the
4line in a window and optionally write it to a file also.
Keith Hall. V1.02.


!DISCTRACK
4The program is a DEMO VERSION of DiscTrack. It is a fully functional

LINKS
4Link is a versitile utility to emulate the ‘ln’  command on UNIX.
4The ‘ln’ command provides a facillity for providing a ‘softlink’
4between files ie when you run the link file the system runs the
4program it is linked to. This is useful for large programs used
4on a network, everybody can have their individual link to the
4main program without having to copy it. Also, in education, you
4can  provide the pupils with a disc of links which will load up
4a program off the harddisc, thus avoiding the horror of the
4pupils messing about inside your harddisc…

4the textfile icon, found under save, on to the Printer icon, in
4the usual way.  Version 2 is rewritten, and contains many new
4features. Old MarksFiles will need to be converted to use with
4this program, using a small utility called !MarkConv. To complete
4the suite is another application called !YMarks, which receives
4up to 7 MarksFiles, and sorting and searching can be done on
4them. Output can now be made in CSV format, as well as textfile.
