============================== README.list65 =============================

This is disk 65 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.

Bawk		Text processor inspired by the Unix awk utility.  Bawk
		searches files for specific patterns and performs
		actions for every occurance of these patterns.  The
		patterns can be regular expressions.  The actions are
		expressed using a subset of the C language.  Unfortunately
		this version always gets a stack overflow no matter what
		the stack is set to, I haven't had a chance to find the
		bug.  Includes source, so you can hunt for it.  Looks
		like it could be a very useful utility for the Amiga.

CloseWB		Simple program for use with MWB (also on this disk)
		to close a current WorkBench screen, and let you
		open WorkBench on a custom screen.
		Author:  Matt Dillon

Cookie		Fortune cookie program.  Includes source.
		Author:  Richard Stevens

JTime		Detailed instructions, including schematics in IFF
		format, for building and installing a battery backed
		up real-time clock.  The clock goes on the joystick
		port (aka mouse port 2).
		Author:  Michael Keryan

MenuBuilder	A program which automates the process of building
		menus.  It takes a simple text file and generates
		a C source file with all the needed structures for 
		linking with the rest of your program.  This is
		version 1.0, and includes source.
		Author:  A. Preston

MWB		A program which will create a new 'WorkBench' screen
		and route by request OpenWindow calls meant for the
		WorkBench to these new screens.  This allows you to run
		programs which normally open windows on the WorkBench
		screen to use a custom screen instead.  Version 1.01,
		includes source.
		Author:  Matt Dillon

NewPackets	Tutorial downloaded from BIX C-A support section, which
		describes some new packets and structures in 1.2 AmigaDos.
		Author:  Carolyn Scheppner

PascalToC	A Pascal to C translator program which is supposed to
		correctly handle function, procedure, and most type
		declarations.  However, this quick and dirty port didn't
		fare too well on even a simple little Pascal fragment from
		Software Tools in Pascal.  I don't know if the problem is
		machine dependencies in the code or bugs.  Looks like it
		could be useful with a little more work than I have time
		to put into it now.  Includes source.
		Author:  James Mullens, enhancements by Dan Kegel

Prep		Version 2.1 of a Fortran preprocessor called 'prep', an
		alternative to ratfor.  Prep has better macro facilities,
		a concise shorthand for array and vector statements, all the
		standard flow control constructs of forth, and is written
		in generic, portable C (I made no source changes).  
		Includes source.
		Author:  Roger Ove

RunBack		A program that allows you to start another program which
		is independent of the CLI window.  This is useful to start
		programs from your Startup-Sequence, load WorkBench, and
		then close the initial CLI (which could not be closed
		otherwise).
		Author:  Charlie Heath, Microsmiths

SunMouse	Makes your mouse behave like the Sun Microsystem
		Sunwindows mouse.  You no longer have to 'click' in
		a window to make it active.  Just move the mouse pointer
		into the window and start typing.  Version 1.0, binary only.
