- 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

- 1{HDiscopy}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Utilities.D.Discopy}
- 4Discopy is a simple bulk disc copier. It has been designed to be as
- 4simple and straightforward to use as possible and to this end, it
- 4has several limitations:
- 4 • Reconfiguration is done via the !Config file. However,
- 4reconfiguration should really be unnecessary due to the way the
- 4application is structured.
- 4 • Perhaps most significantly, it relies on the discs being
- 4formatted first. A correction to this will follow when other format
- 4discs have been added. Discopy uses disc image files (ie. it reads
- 4the entire contents of each disc and saves this in a single file) to
- 4store its data. Because of this, it requires large quantities of
- 4disc space. However, because of the way it has been coded, large
- 4amounts of memory are not needed.
- 4Chris Whitworth. v1.11d. Shareware.
-
- 1{HDiscScan}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Utilities.D.DiscScan}
- 4DiscSCAN’s purpose is to make keeping track of the contents of your
- 4discs easier. This will let you find a file or program faster and
- 4easier then loading a couple of hundred discs only to find that it’s
- 4on the last disc you have to search. DiscSCAN was designed to
- 4replace a card index and as such it will only store the file name,

- 4two sets of sprites: one for 16-colour TV-resolution modes (like 12)
- 4and one for 16-colour high-resolution modes (like 20).
- 4•Some window tools, quite similar to NewLook’s, but with numerous

-
- 1{HNewIcons}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Utilities.N.NewIcons}
- 4DoggySoft's alternative to !Menon. The idea behind IconDir is that

- 4NewsFind is an 'applet' for searching for patterns in messages
- 4stored by Newsbase. Matching articles are copied to a folder so that
- 4they can be read by a newsreader such as TTFN or Messenger. NewsFind
- 4makes use of overview files to speed up searching, so you need to
- 4use Newsbase 0.55 or later and ensure that this feature is switched

-
- 1{HNuWeb}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Utilities.N.NuWeb}
- 4This is a new release of nuweb. In particular it is now written in
- 4ANSI C, and requires LaTeX2e to use; if you don't have either of

-
- 1{HOpenFiles}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Utilities.O.OpenFiles}
- 4OpenFiles is a utility for closing files which get left open when,
- 4for example, an application abnormally terminates when active. When
- 4this happens, sometimes the file becomes inaccessible, giving a
- 4‘file open’ error when you try to access or delete it. OpenFiles

-
- 1{HOSrename}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Utilities.O.OSrename}
- 4If you use a C compiler in combination with the LongFilenames
- 4utility then you may have noticed that the OSLib headers with long
- 4filenames don't #include properly. This is because the FileSwitch
- 4Truncate' configuration option doesn't work when you have
- 4LongFilenames active. So when you include headers such as
- 4'fileraction.h' it should include a file called 'fileractio.h', but
- 4fails. The 'OSRename' Obey file in this directory will go through
- 4your OSLib (release 5.1) directory and give all the neccessary files
- 4their full long filenames. The 'OSRenameB' file will change them
- 4back. You will need to have run the 'SetVars' Obey file
- 4(supplied with OSLib) first.

- 1{HWMS}{JCDFS::PDCD_5.$.Utilities.W.WMS}
- 4Philip's Music Scribe (PMS) is a computer program for typesetting
- 4high quality music. It runs on any Acorn computer running the RISC
- 4OS operating system; these include the Archimedes series, and newer
- 4models such as the A5000, the portable A4, and the Risc PC.
-
- 4PMS operates by reading an input file which contains an encoded
- 4description of the music; such a file can be constructed using any
- 4text editor or word processor, for example, the !Edit application
- 4which comes with every RISC OS system. The music encoding is very
- 4straightforward and compact, and quick to enter.
-
- 4Although such an input method may not be considered as `user-
- 4friendly' as pointing and dragging on the screen, it is generally
- 4acknowledged to be a much faster way of inputting music, once the
- 4format of the input files has been learned. In addition, the usual
- 4facilities of a word processor, such as cutting and pasting, can be
- 4used to speed up entry, and PMS is able to provide text-based
- 4features such as macros and included files.

- 4background, colour 1 the next layer forward and so on. This
- 4enables simple Wowpix! to be generated very quickly. The program
- 4sets the palette of the output sprite such that colour 0 is white
