This is disk 558 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents.


BTNtape		A "Better Than Nothing" SCSI tape device handler.  Provides
		flat file access to a SCSI tape drive from application
		programs using simple DOS calls to Read() and Write().  It
		can also be used with the Amiga TAR utility for disk backups.
		Requires a "SCSI-direct" compatible SCSI bus adapter.  This
		is version 2.1, an update to version 2.0 on disk 471.  It
		fixes a number of bugs, and includes some new features such
		as appending files to existing tapes.  Includes source.

DisDF		Program to disable DF0-DF3 to stop that empty drive clicking
		by putting the trackdisk.device tasks in a removed state.
		Can be run from CLI, startup script or WB.  Command line
		options select drives and also remove the File System tasks
		to reduce CPU load a little more.  This is version 1.1, an
		update to version 1.0 on disk 531.  Includes source.

Scheme2C	A Scheme compiler which accepts the language defined in the
		essential portions of Revised Report on Algorithmic Language
		Scheme, with minor constraints and some additions.  The
		compiler produces C source files which are then compiled
		using the system's C compiler (Lattice C 5.10 on the Amiga)
		to produce conventional object and executable files.  Because
		of the size of the distribution, it has been split onto three
		disks as follows: source and documentation archives on 556,
		M68000 binary archive on 557, and M68020 binary archive on
		558.  This Amiga port was done by Mike Meyer, based on the
		28-Sep-90 version of the translator.
