ScreenModeChanger
ScreenModeChanger (short SMC) is a small tool to patch the Openscreen functions of OS2,04 (and
newer) to force other programs to open their screens in the (with SMC) selected screen mode, SMC
can be used only under OS2,04 and newer, With OS2,04 and OS3.0 the user can select different
screen modes, Some modes are not visible on all monitors (some may even destroy the monitor),
and
it's
very annoying
to
have a nice VGA-monitor (like m) and most programs open a PAL- or
NTSC-screen, SMC allows an easy selection (via mouse) of the screenmode which is used to patch
the
Openscreen-function,

The Disk Ute
The Disk Ute is a multitasking copier/formaner/backup utility wrinen with ease
M
use and speed
in
mind,
The program supports high density Amiga disks and works happily on an
A4000/3000/1200/2000/600/500.
It requires Workbench 2.0x upwards. The Disk Ute automatically
recognizes whether the disk is high-density or low-density and will not allow you to mix types, This
formats high and low density Amiga disks, This allows you to backup whole directories to lIoppy, The
advantage of this over DOS copying is that
it is
faster, can split files across disks
(so
HUGE files can
be transferred easily), and doesn't need the disks to be formatted,

Assig n Preferences
This
is
the latest public release of Assigns preferences program, It belongs
in
your Preferences drawer,
along with all your other Prefs programs, and allows you to add, delete, or modify assigns in your
system at any time, Operation
is
prelly straightforward:
just
click on
"Add"
on the Assign side to add an
assign, and
"Add"
on the destination side to point the new assign where it belongs, Also, dragging a
disk or drawer
icon into
the window will cause a new destination to be added, if you wish, And for those
among us who are forgetful (I think that
includes
me, but Idon't quite remember), a comment field
is
included
so you can remember what assign belongs to what program,

Action
Since your Amiga knows the difference between a picture, a
sound
file, a text file and a program,
why doesn't
it
automatically know what to do with them,
If
you choose a picture file, your Amiga
should know to display it... and if
it's
a sound file, your Amiga should play it right? Right! So give
your Amiga a linle intelligence with Action! This program evaluates a file you give it, and does
whatever appropriate actions
you
predetermine.

Aesthetics
Digital Aesthetics is a program for WB2 and up which will simulate an audio environment of your

Noisome
There was a time when every decent computer made beeps when you pressed a key. That was
very
cute, buttoday's computers seem to miss this feature for some strange reason, I don't want
it
to
stay
that
way, so I've made this program that takes you back
in
time and plays any sample you
wish
when
a key is pressed, But that's not all, folks! You can have different samples for different keys,
special samples for the mousekeys, a sample to be played
instead
of the
visual
display-"beep", and
more". To sum up, this is an invaluable tool that adds one or two extra dimensions to your
Amiga-experience.

Boot Picture
Have you removed all output in your 2,0 startup, and only see an empty screen during bootup?
Wouldn't it be nice to have a picture instead? Apicture that disappeared when the Workbench
screen was opened? If so, Pic Boot is certainly a program for you. What
it w
do is to read any
ill
IFF file containing an ILBM picture, and show that picture, As soon as the Workbench screen
appears (or you press any mouse-bunon), the picture will go away,

PowerCache
The Amiga keeps getting faster, Operating systems get more powerfuL and the bonleneck still seems
to be harddrive speed, As files get bigger as graphics get more intense and sound and animation
becames more and more realtime, again the harddrive bonleneck keeps popping up. So how about a
solution that requires no expensive hardware upgrades or
replacements,
How about a solution that
requires no screwdrivers or assembly, The solution is PowerCache, It will easily speed up all your disk
accesses by standing between you and your diskdrives keeping often used data
in
faster RAM!
