Short: Fish disk 0980 Uploader: Fish Disks Type: misc/fish Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is disk 980 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library. Below is a listing of the significant directories and their contents. APipe The `APipe-Handler' allows you to add the `APIPE:' DOS device to your system. This device acts as a pipe between two programs, but in a different manner than the standard `PIPE:' device does. This handler interprets the text after the `APIPE:' prefix as a command line to execute, and the process/command which opens the file indicated by the mention of `APIPE:' can now read the standard output or write the standard input of the program indicated by the command line depending on whether the `APIPE:' file was opened for reading or writing, respectively. Thus, the opening an `APIPE:' file is analogous to the UNIX `popen()' call, but it is more widely available to the user. Complete source is included and can be used as an example of a handler. Version 37.5, an update to version 37.4 on disk number 783. Author: Per Bojsen HWGRCS A 3 part distribution of an RCS 5.6.0.1 port to the Amiga, currently at patch level 8. Part 1 contains the binaries and documentation in AmigaGuide and "man" format, part 2 contains the source code to RCS, and part 3 contains the source code and binaries for patch and diffutils. The Revision Control System (RCS) manages multiple revisions of text files. RCS automates the storing, retrieval, logging, identification, and merging of revisions. RCS is useful for text that is revised frequently, for example: programs, doc- umentation, graphics, papers, form letters, etc. Included are RCS 5.6, GNU diffutils 2.6 and an LP utility to support paged diff outputs. Part 1 on disk 980, part 2 is on disk 981, and part 3 is on disk 982. Author: Walter Tichy, Paul Eggert, Heinz Wrobel
