Flat		A filing system handler which implements block-mapped filing
		devices such as available under Un*x.  Read and write calls
		are mapped to low-level system IO operations which allow to
		treat devices such as df0:, dh0:, rad:, etc. as big data
		files.  These `virtual' files can be copied, read and
		written just like any standard AmigaDOS file.  It is even
		possible to copy a whole disk with the CLI `Copy' command or
		to archive disks with LhArc and the like.  Written as a
		supplement for the Amiga `tar' program.  Version 1.3,
		includes source in `C'.

		many additional features and a basic gadtools interface.
		Can be made resident and sports a number of additional
		command line options.  Also included is a code fragment
		which will correctly initialize data media of any size
		(floppy disks or hard disk partitions) which works both

		source in `C' and assembly language.  AmigaOS 2.x required.

FracBlank       A commodities screen blanker written for AmigaOS release
		2.x.  When running will blank the screen and start to draw
		real plane fractals such as described in the September 1986
		issue of Scientific American.  The resulting images may
		remind you of spiders' webs, lace or even the Chladnian
		patterns formed by grains of sand strewn across a vibrating
		surface.  Version 1.4, includes source in `C' and assembly
		language.  AmigaOS 2.x required.

Icon	 	A tool which patches Workbench 2.x online to supply default
		icons for about 45 different file types ranging from LhArc
		archives to object code files.  Enhances the `Show All
		Files' option of Workbench which by default only knows two
		types of file icons: Tool and Project.  If enabled scans
		all files in a directory which do not have an icon file
		supplied and tries to determine their file types.  When
		done, tricks Workbench into believing that there are proper
		icons for these files in the directory.  Includes source in
		`C' and assembly language.  AmigaOS 2.x required.

		fixes and enhancements, an update to version 1.8 on disk
		436.  Includes source in `C' and assembly language.

		source in `C'.  AmigaOS 2.x required.
