Disks 791-800 are now available.  Shipping to all those who have preordered
is now complete as of 12-Jan-92.

Note that you can get a copy of the catalog (2 disks) of the complete library
contents by sending $3 for disks, postage, and mailer to:

	Fred Fish
	Catalog Disk Requests
	1835 East Belmont Drive
	Tempe, Arizona  85284
	USA

Thanks to all who submitted new and interesting material.  If you submitted
something in the past and it has not yet appeared in the library, please
feel free to resubmit it, particularly if it was several months ago.  I
sometimes hesitate to include material submitted more than about six
months ago because of some vague feeling that as soon as I include version
1.01 submitted many months ago, I'll see version 5.23 posted on usenet.

For those wishing to submit material for possible inclusion in the library,
here are a few simple guidelines that will make my job of organizing the
material MUCH easier and GREATLY increase your chances of having the material
accepted for inclusion:

1.	Don't submit bootable disks or disks with any other sort of
	proprietary material included, since I then have to go examine
	each file to decide if it is distributable or not, and if not,
	what effect removing it might have.  Unless the material is
	particularly interesting, I frequently just toss such disks
	into the recycling bin.

2.	Organize the distribution in a manner similar to my disks.  I.E,
	place all files related to a particular submission under a single
	directory on the disk.  If there is more than one submission per
	disk, place each submission in its own directory.

3.	Try to write a simple entry for my "Contents" listing that
	summarizes your submission.  It should be about 3-10 lines, and
	include the current version number, the version and disk number
	of the most recent version (if any) that was last included in the
	library, whether or not source is included, and an "Author" list.

4.	Ensure that your submission will run correctly from its sub-
	directory and if necessary, supply a script runnable from workbench
	(via :c/xicon or c:iconx) that makes all necessary assigns, copies
	fonts and libraries, etc.

5.	Send your submission in a sturdy envelope with sufficient padding.

Thanks!!!

CONTENTS OF DISK 791
--------------------

HSV		A small color palette utility that contains both RGB and HSV
		sliders for adjusting your screens colors.  If the screen has
		4 bitplanes or less, you can also save the palette to 'ENVARC:
		palette.prefs'.  Requires AmigaOS2.xx, version 0.99, includes
		source.
		Author:  Frank Ederveen

RADBack		A shareware utility that can make a backup of a RAD disk to a
		normal 880K Amiga disk, regardless of its length - bigger RADs
		are saved on more disks.  Can be started from the Workbench as
		well as from CLI.  Version 1.0, binary only.
		Author:  Sandi Tomsic

Replex		REPLace EXecutable. This handy patch substitutes program names
		that are about to be executed, e.g. if an icon default tool
		specifies ":c/MuchMore" and you prefer to use "c:TextRead",
		you can have it defined as such, so you never have to change
		the icon.  Intuition interface allows up to 8 such definitions.
		Compatible with all known OS versions.  This is version 1.0,
		binary only.
		Author:  Ekke Verheul

ScsiTape	A Scsi-Direct tape handler that implements fully asynchronous
		double-buffered read and write operations.  If you have disk /
		tape drives which support reselection then the handler will be
		able to operate on the tape concurrently with disk accesses
		meaning that an archiver such as Tar will not 'freeze' while
		tape operations are in progress.  Includes source.
		Author:  Matthew Dillon

SKsh		A Unix ksh like shell for the Amiga.  Some of its features
		include command substitution, shell functions, aliases, local
		variables, emacs and vi style editing, I/O redirection, pipes,
		Unix wildcards, a large variety of commands, and coexistence
		with scripts from other shells.  Well documented.  Version 2.1,
		an update to version 2.0 on disk 672.  New features in version
		2.1 include true piping between internal and external commands,
		background functions, aliases, and other shell constructs,
		enforcer clean, several new commands, cross filesystem file
		and directory moves, and more.  Binary only.  Requires Amiga
		Dos 2.04.
		Author:  Steve Koren

CONTENTS OF DISK 792
--------------------

AmigaBase	A hierachical, programmable, in-core database.  Features
		include two display methods, filter datasets, search datasets,
		print datasets, and many more.  Nearly everything can be real-
		ized by programming AmigaBase.  Datatypes can be Integer, Real,
		Boolean, String, Memo (Text), Date and Time.  Number of data-
		sets is only limited by available memory.  Lacking documenta-
		tion, (available with shareware submission) but full Intuition
		interface make many operations quite obvious.  Also includes
		some example projects.  Runs under OS 1.3 and 2.0, shareware,
		binary only.
		Author:  Steffen Gutmann

DragIt		Allows you to move or size a window without having to use the
		drag bar or sizing gadget.  Press on  the configurable quali-
		fier, while holding it, press  your selected  mouse button,
		and move the mouse.  You'll  see the  window  border appear,
		and  you'll be able to drag or size it.  Requires OS 2.0,
		supports localization with locale.library and the new style
		2.1 (or 3.0) preference.  Version 2.01, binary only.
		Author:  Steve Lemieux

ModHPLJD	A Rexx program that creates a modified version of the HP_Laser
		Jet driver.  The modification changes the 'initialize' string
		so that the font chosen from the printer menu (rather than
		12pt Courier) can be used and the number of lines per inch can
		be specified.  Version 1.01.
		Author:  Michael Tanzer

TClass		An "Intelligent" file identifier.  Has the ability to "learn"
		new types of files by simply scanning groups of known types of
		files, and checking the first 20 bytes for similiarities.  It
		then reports on the matching accuracy and adds a "definition"
		for the filetype to a brain file.  Version 2.9, binary only.
		Author:  Sam Hulick

WBPat		Creates random 3D patterns for your 2.04 WorkBench windows.
		A pattern can be shifted or changed, tested, used and saved.
		Version 1.0, includes source in C.
		Author:  Ekke Verheul

		system date is earlier or too much later than the stored date,
		the user is notified by a requester.  Version 1.01.
		Author:  Michael Tanzer

ReflexFinal	A game which tests your addition, subtraction, division, mul-
		tiplication, percentage, and algebra skills.  The goal is to

		only.
		Author:  Jason Lowe

Snap		A tool for clipping text or graphics from the screen, using
		the clipboard device.  Snap finds out character coordinates

		anywhere on the screen.  One of nine copperlists can be added
		in one register without loss of speed. Version 0.8, binary
		only.
		Author:  Ekke Verheul

ReqTools	A standard Amiga shared runtime library which makes it a lot
		quicker and easier to build standard requesters into your pro-
		grams.  Designed with CBM's style guidelines in mind, so that
		the resulting requesters have the look and feel of AmigaDOS
		2.0.  Version 2.1a, lots of enhancements since release 1.0d on
		disk 623.  Includes a demo and glue/demo sources.

		converts them to PostScript files.  If you don't have access to
