Short: AGA Software Compilation. Disk 4, rev.2. Architecture: m68k-amigaos ************************************************************************* Welcome to the AGA software compilation Disk Four. ************************************************************************* All programs will work on AGA/KS3.0 equiped Amigas, some will work with ECS/KS3.0, ECS/KS2.04 or (even!) OCS/KS1.3 Amigas. All doc files have icons but not all programs were supplied with icons so I did not add any. More (the standard text reader) must be in the WorkBench Path to view the docs (ie if you are reading this then it probably is!). More is found in the SYS:Utilities drawer. AmigaGuide documents have their tooltype set to MultiView. If you only have KS2.04/2.1 it will need to be changed to AmigaGuide (after you install it of course!). The "*** Requires:" field outlines the MINIMUM requirements of Operating System Software and/or Amiga Hardware required. Also, this disk is formatted with the FastFileSystem. Only KS2.04 or greater supports FFS on floppys, so don't wonder why the disk is unreadable on a KS1.3 or less system! I hope you find some of these programs useful. Thanks must go to the various authors of the programs for getting AGA supported software out so quickly. Copyright remains with the authors of the software and not with me. Usual disclaimers apply. AGA_Hardware_Guide An AmigaGuide reference manual to all the new AGA features. Includes hardware registers list. Very comprehensive. BigAnim (v3.5) An animation player that is able to play animations that are too large to be loaded into memory directly. Supports AGA. Supports Anim types 5 & 7. *** Requires: An Amiga. BMP_DataType (v39.3) Allows Multiview and other DataType aware programs (such as WBPattern) to read BMP graphics (ala Windoze 3.1). Source inc. *** Requires: KS3.0. DOUBLEX: (v1.00) Promote all screens to a DBL equivalent, regardless of the type of screen they request. *** Requires: AGA. JPEG_DataType (v39.1) Allows Multiview and other DataType aware programs (such as WBPattern) to read JPEG images. *** Requires: KS3.0. MOSTRA (v2.0/v37.12) An IFF ILBM viewer that can process any IFF ILBM file, including nested types. Also PCHG support. AGA support. Localisation etc. *** Requires: KS2.04. PKLUDGE: (v1.0) Promotes any graphics mode or named screen to any other resolution optionally setting size and position. *** Requires: KS3.0. PPrefs (v1.1) A Screen Promotion Utility. For those who like the GUI of ForceMonitor but need more flexibility. *** Requires: KS2.04 or greater. ProcurePens (v1.00) Locks and/or Procures palette pens under v39 graphics.library. *** Requires: KS3.0 or greater. QuickGrab (v1.1) A screen grabber that works with 2.0/3.0 and AGA graphics modes. *** Requires: KS2.04 Reset1200 (v1.0b) An fix to the CPU's RESET instruction which stops the authors Hard Disk from being recognised upon next boot up. *** Requires: Amiga 1200(?) RunShit (v1.03) Similar to programs like RUNBACK except turns off AGA to allow some badly written programs to work on the A1200 or 4000. *** Requires: AGA. Speed Ramsey (v1.2a) Removes a wait-state from RAM on the A4000 if you have 60ns or faster RAM installed. May work with 70ns. All A4000's as shipped have 80ns. Speeds RAM access by up to 15%. *** Requires: A4000 with Rev.G Ramsey chip. TPD (Tron's PCX DataType) (v39.1) Allows Multiview and other DataType aware programs (such as WBPattern) to read PCX graphics (ala PC & compats). An alternative to the one on Disk Three. *** Requires: KS3.0. Window_Blender (v39.28) An interesting piece of mind-candy! Opens a window, fills it with a mapping using a given formula, and cycles the colors using the given cycling method. Quite psychedelic! *** Requires: KS3.0. WBVERLAUF: (v2.0) Creates background copper lists on the WorkBench screen. *** Requires: AGA Chip Set. ZGif_Datatype (v39.7) A replacement for the other GIF datatypes around (see Disk One) The main improvement is speed, being at least twice as fast as the others. *** Requires: KS3.0, 68020+.
