*************************************************************************
Welcome to the AGA software compilation Disk One.
*************************************************************************
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.
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, where stated, remains with the authors of the software
and not with me. Usual disclaimers apply.
AGA TEST:
Shows all the 2^24 colors on an AGA HAM8 screen.
*** Requires: AGA.
AMIGA TO NTSC/PAL: (v39.2/Release 1.2)
Patches graphics.library so it will open DBL versions of the
NTSC or PAL monitors; offering enhanced mode promotion to the
display type of your choice.
*** Requires: KS2.0, ECS
CYCLETOMENU: (v1.10)
Allows you to use popup menus with the standard gadtools cycle
gadjets; allowing easier and faster selection. Includes KS3.0
support for black on white menus.
*** Requires: KS2.04 or greater.
GIF_DATATYPE: (v39.3)
A GIF DataType that allows MultiView or software that supports
WB3.0 DataTypes to recognise GIF 87 & 89 pictures.
*** Requires: KS3.0.
KILLAGA: (v2.0)
Allows demos and some games to be run from your hard disk rather
than rebooting and using the Early Startup Control Menu.
*** Requires: AGA.
PPSHOW: (release 3.0a, or version 39.471)
Shows normal IFF ILBM files or those crunched with
PowerPacker. Also plays standard Op5 ANIMS. Also included is a
patch program to get ASL, ARP and REQ file requestors to use the
REQTOOLS requestors for a more standard requestor across all
software.
*** Requires: KS2.04 or higher.
REND24: (v1.05.50)
Converts all types of IFF files (including 24 bit), GIF,
JPEG into displayable IFF or creates Op5 ANIMS from multiple files.
Also HAME and DCTV support.
*** Requires: Any Amiga.
VIEWTEK: (v2.00.231)
ILBM/ANIM viewer. Recognises IFF-24, GIF, JPEG, and ANIM
Op5 and Op7 formats, amongst others. Includes ANIMOp7
creator. To comply with the distribution conditions, I had
to compress some of the files to include them all on the disk.
Use LHA to decompress them. This will only affect those
people wishing to use the MakeAnim7, FireCracker, IV24, Retina
and OpalVision versions of the software.
*** Requires: KS2.04 or greater.
