This is a followup to the previous message concerning availability of
new Snail Mail disks of public domain ST software.

Note:

All disks are single-sided.  Disks are available for $3 (or $4 Canadian),
for requests within North America.  This includes the cost of a single-sided
disk, postage, and handling.

To pack as much software on each disk as possible, all files are stored in 
standard ARCed form, except for an archive extracter program.

You can get disks from the following people:

Jim Turner				Rob DeMillo
c/o Imagen Corp.			120 S. Angell  #4
2650 San Tomas Expressway		Providence, RI
Santa Clara, CA				02906
95052-8101

Gordan Palameta				Joel Plutchak
1001 Main St W  #104			2929 Monroe St
Hamilton, ON				Madison, WI
Canada   L8S 1A9			53711

Disk 4

*****
This disk contains the AIM image processing programs (from the University
of Delft (?) in the Netherlands)... works in low or high rez.  Note the
ARC file is fairly large, so to unARC it, it's best to have a DS disk drive
(or 1M of memory, with a 512 k RAM disk).  I believe help files are included,
and possibly some sample images.

Note this has just been posted to comp.binaries.atari.st (in several dozen
fragments) so you can get it from there as well if you don't mind 
reassembling and uudecoding.

*****
BICLOCK.ARC
	Easy date and time setter, suitable for AUTO folder.
BINHEX.ARC (version of 860613)
	Simple utilities for converting binary files to hex dump and vice
	versa, with C source code.
DCOPY17.ARC
	Multipurpose utility program (copy/erase/format/display/directory/
	rename/diskcopy/ARC functions) all in a very small size.
DISASMBL.ARC

FKEYLAB.ARC
	Prints a strip of labels on standard (Epson-compatible) printers,
	for placement above the ST function keys.
GEMSOFT.ARC
	Includes AUTO folder program GEMBOOT, which appears to be a genuine
	40-folder bug fix.  Also includes some utility programs for peeking
	at internal GEMDOS memory structures.
HDSCAN12.ARC (version 1.21)
	Useful multi-purpose utility, especially for hard disks.  User
	interface is something of a cross between a shell and the desktop.
LESS.ARC
	File displayer, like Unix "more" with added capabilities.  Scrolls
	forward or backward, search capability, built-in help.
MEMTEST.ARC
	Memory tester diagnostic program, checks for bad RAM.
MISCUTIL.ARC
		Miscellaneous small utilities (a few K each):
	CLICKOFF - turns off keyboard click
	COLDBOOT - does a cold boot (reboots and removes accessories)
	DRFLOPPY - Dr Flop E. Disk sector editor
	DVORAK -   reconfigures keyboard to Dvorak layout
	GCLOCK -   displays time in upper right-hand corner of screen
	HI25/HI50 - set screen lines to 25 or 50 (monochrome only)
	KEYTEST -  prints out ASCII code and scan code for any keyboard key
	MUSHROOM - prints out marginally useful information after a crash
	NOBLINK -  turns off cursor blink in VT52 mode
	QFORMAT -  "fast" format utility (small size makes it convenient)
	STARTGEM - enables GEM programs to be used in AUTO (not tested yet)
	VEROFFON - turns floppy disk write verify on or off
	VOLUME -   lets you read or modify floppy disk volume label
SEEKTEST.ARC
	Floppy disk diagnostic program, checks drive's seek capability.
SPEED.ARC
	Floppy disk diagnostic program, measures drive's rotation speed.
TURTLE.ARC (version 2.8)
	Hard disk backup utility, one of the most reliable and extremely
	fast (uses a built-in RAM disk).  Needs at least 1M of memory.
*****

Disk 6

*****
MG1BBIN.ARC
MG1BSRC.ARC
	Micro Gnu Emacs version 1b.  This version incorporates bug fixes,
	and provides bindable function keys and numeric keypad keys.
	Executable programs and source code included.
STEDT.ARC (version 4.2)
	An editor which emulates EDT (the standard VAX/VMS editor).  Also
	includes some EMACS features like multiple buffers and windows.
STWRITER.ARC (version 1.70)
	A public domain word processor program.  Non-GEM, non-WYSIWYG
	(what you see is what you get), but quite fast.

Disk 7

*****
This disk consists mainly of game programs.  However, they are not modern
games with sophisticated graphics and sound; rather almost all of them are
of the CRT-based ASCII graphics variety.  A number of them are ports of
mainframe games (like Rogue, Startrek, Adventure) to the ST, and will appeal
mainly to those who misspent countless hours playing them on mainframes (and
maybe to a younger generation as well).

BATLSHIP.ARC
	A version of the classic Battleship game.
ELIZA.ARC
	This is a version of the classic Eliza computer psychiatrist
	program originally written by Joseph Weizenbaum in the 1960s
	(hailed at the time as an example of "artificial intelligence"!).
	Unfortunately, this version is not very sophisticated, but...
LARN.ARC
	A variation on the classic Unix "rogue" game.
OGRE.ARC
	The game of OGRE.  Defeat the ogre before it destroys your
	command post.
ORGADV.ARC
	The classic original Adventure game ("Colossal Cave").  Based on
	the original Fortran source code (ported to C), this is an
	exceptionally faithful port that plays just like the mainframe
	version.  From the Austin Atari Computer Enthusiasts (AACE).
SPACEW31.ARC
	A version of the Spacewar game (two orbiting ships fight it out).
	The original version of Spacewar ran on a PDP-1; this version is
	not directly based on it.
STSPEECH.ARC
	This program makes the Atari ST sound chip talk English sentences
	(perfectly intelligible but weird).  Includes a program that lets
	it read a script from a file.
