This is disk 325 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.


Batchman	A program that allows the user to execute CLI programs
		and batch files simply by clicking on a gadget.  It can
		be used as the center of a turnkey system, where the
		user simply clicks on gadgets to launch applications.
		Version 1.1, includes source in Modula-II.
		Author:  Michal Todorovic

DClock		A "Dumb Clock" utility that displays the date and time
		in the Workbench screen title bar.  Uses only about 2
		percent of the CPU time and about 10Kb of memory.  Also
		has an alarm clock feature and audible beep for programs
		that call DisplayBeep.  This is version 1.12, an update
		to version 1.5 on disk 298, with many enhancements and a
		few bug fixes.  Includes source.
		Author:  Olaf Barthel

DoRevision	This program implements easy creation of source code
		revision headers (very similar to the log headers to
		be found at the top of the Amiga 'C' include files). 
		Version 1.0, includes source.
		Author:  Olaf Barthel

FAM		A File Access Manager for the Amiga that allows multiple
		ARexx programs to access a buffered version of a directory
		in a consistent and serialized manner.  It buffers all the
		names, dates, sizes and so on, for quick access.  This is
		version 1.1 and includes source.
		Author:  Darren New

FarPrint	Debugging functions for programs which don't have any
		links to their environment.  FarPrint consists of two
		major parts; a harbour process open to receive and
		distribute messages and requests, and a set of C functions
		to be linked into any program wishing to communicate with
		the FarPrint main process.  This is version 1.5, an update
		to version 1.3 on disk 281, and adds a shared library as
		well as linker libraries for both Lattice and Aztec C.
		Includes source.
		Author:  Olaf Barthel

KeyMacro	A keyboard macro program, configurable via a text file,
		that also supports hotkey program execution.  You can map
		up to eight functions to each key, including keys such as
		cursor keys, the return key, etc.  Version 1.0, includes
		source.
		Author:  Olaf Barthel

LifeCycles	Some sort of biorhythm type program.  No docs included.
		Version 2.0, binary only.
		Author:  Michal Todorovic

MemGuard	MemGuard is a MemWatch-like program which has been
		rewritten in assembly language for maximum speed and
		efficiency. Unlike MemWatch MemGuard does not run as
		Task in a dummy loop but rather as a low-level interrupt
		routine which is capable of trapping memory thrashing even
		before exec might know of it and even while task switching
		is forbidden. In fact the low-memory area is checked each
		frame. Virtually no processing time is wasted, the
		interrupt routine does the check in about half a raster
		scan line's time.  This program was contributed by Ralf
		Thanner, who spent three weeks programming & debugging it.
		In this program Ralf uses some very delicate tricks to
		let his interrupt routine work with Intuition alerts.
		Version III, binary only.

RexxHostLib	This is a shared library package to simplify the ARexx
		host creation/management procedure.  Rexx-message parsing
		is also included making it possible to control ARexx from
		programs such as AmigaBASIC (can you imagine AmigaBASIC
		controlling AmigaTeX?).  Includes source.
