GS.DISK.250
This disk contains indexed listings of the Apple II software on the Golden Orchard CD-ROM. There are six separate listings covering several hundred screens of entries. The files are compressed, with a copy of ShrinkIt included to facilitate extraction.
GS.DISK.251
This disk contains six items:-
RAPIDOGRAF. A demonstration version of a program to produce graphs, bar charts, pie charts, etc, directly from ASCII files of numerical values from a spreadsheet. Up to 32 variables can be handled on one chart and the number of charts available on the desktop is only limited by the amount of memory available. The demonstration charts were generated very rapidly, even without an accelerator in use and switching between charts already open was effectively instantaneous. Chart size could be varied between 1/8 A4 and 8 x A4.
EVIEW. A program for viewing large text files. This was tested by using it to view one of the index files on GS250, which contained about 450 screens. The text loaded rapidly and displayed much sooner than using Hermes for the same task.
MEI. A program to play input to the Ensoniq chip in real time. MEI stands for Monitor Ensoniq Input. Plug a signal into a sound digitiser card and listen to the Ensoniq chip play it. If no signal is fed in, you only hear static crackle, of course. A hook-up problem prevented me testing in stereo, but it certainly produced the sound on one channel, while the aforementioned static remained on the other.
PLASMA. All this does is produce plasma patterns on the screen, along with background sound.
SWITCH 60 HZ. A software switch for the monitor frequency setting.
CDROMSTACK. A request from a Dutch enthusiast for information stacks to be used in compilation of a CDRom, along with information about a disk magazine that he is producing.
