1. Requierement, notes

Most of these softwares work with medium and high resolution and texts are written in French or often English.

These programs were made using a ATARI 1040 STf, TOS v1.02, with a color screen and sometimes a monochrom screen emulator. Made from 1989 to 1992.

The screen pictures were made from shareware versions. Download links are at the bottom of this page.

2. Softwares list

Depack D

- Allow to decompress easily datas files packed with : PACK ICE v2.11, v2.12, or v2.31, and ATOMIK CRUNCHER v3, or v3.5 (file containt start with the "Ice!" or "ICE!" or "ATOM" word).

- Tell the packer used to compress on a datafile.

- Can be used with scripts files (.SCR) that contain the list of files to unpack, it's its principal advantage to uncompress multiple files. 

It's the DEPAKICE successor with a GEM interface.

ASCII Hunter

Demos makers and sometimes game makers (and crackers) write hidden messages (and jokes) on the floppy disks. These texts are only readable with a disk editor (ie : Mutil, Disc Doctor, ...) but it's a pain to do. So, ASCII HUNTER search automatically 10 words at the same time ! (usual English words, ex: "TO, YOU, FOR, IF ..." ) it search them in little and capital letters. You can change these words. When ASCII HUNTER has found one of these words, it stop searching and display an ascii dump of the disk.



 

 

 

BIP Off

- With the packer SPACKER + (made by SPIRAL) : it remove the bell sound this packer add to all programs compressed.


- Bip Off  also allow to depack .PRG files packed with the old "Happy Computer Packer". This prg is in french only but quit  simple to understand.

Hidden Files Hunter

- Search hidden files on ALL the floppy disc (all folders, whole disc).
- Allow to hide files, unhide files.
- Totally delete a file (fill it with zeros then delete it). 



 

Dadu demo

Sources Changer

- Tool for GENST2 (part of DEVPAC assembler). When a programmer put only 1 space before an asm instruction, DDS_CHNG replace the space per 1 tabulation (makes the source more readable).

- Tool for "EASY RIDER 2" (disassembler) : convert a .S source file (as most as possible), to be compatible with GENST2 in order to reassemble it. And add a line before each RTS or RTE instruction. 



 

Dadu Picture Show

Little and powerfull pictures slide-show software for low resolution. Made because because the existing slides were not enough complete for me. DUP_SHOW is used by the programmers, and people that need more than a simple pictures displayer.

Some functions:
- Can search the pictures in absolutely ALL the folders of any drive.
- Can display only 1 folder (useful when the pictures are sorted).
- Supported pictures formats: .PC1 .PI1 .NEO .TNY .TN1 . It can also load PC2 and PI2 in medium resolution.
- You can choose the files extensions to load (ie .BIN ...).

During the show:
- TAB key, you replace the text bloc (it's the name of the picture) by the picture one (to see the entire draw).
- BACKSPACE, you load the previous picture (you can see ALL previous pictures until the first !).

- DUP_SHOW can be configured as waiting for a key press to show the next pic, or a timer that after X seconds load the next pic.


If you press HELP:
- You can see the entire name of the file (eg: A:\VARIED\COMPUTE\ST.PI1 ), it's bytes length (eg: 4700 bytes), and in low resolution: the palette !.
- You can delete the picture file.
- You can call a file selector (for ex: UIS, to move a file).
- The number of pictures is displayed (ex: 7/60). You can see all the pictures names in use. You can jump to the picture number that you want (ex: from 7th to 50th, or from 41th to 8th ).
- You can see the list of the pictures files that were and will be displayed.


- This software only works with a color screen.



 

 

 

 

 

SASHOW: Samples shower

A "slide show" software for the audio samples files. Useful when you have got a disk full of samples, to search fast a  sound (ie: to use it with your soundtracker software ;-) ).

- Files supported : it use .SPL .AVR .SAM .MOD.
- Search in ALL the folders of the disk selected.
- You can change the restitution frequency (5 to 45 KHZ), delete the used sample, print displayed informations
- Compressed files supported : packed  PACK ICE v2.3 or ATOMIK CRUNCHER v3.x



 

 

 

 

 

Unlink-D

Software to divide a big file in many little files from a specific header.


It's useful to divide CHUNCKeds files (AUTOMATION PACKER, ...). Only give a header (ex: ICE!, LSD!, FIRE, ...).  UNLINK-D produce a file list that you can depack with DEPACK-D. 

Text Graphist

Permit to draw with the mouse, pictures and titles with ASCII characters.

Drawing functions: BOX, VECTOR, POINT, FILL, ... The pictures files are saved using ASCII format. You can then insert it in your Word Processing program (if it allow it of course). End of the long work with text editors ! :-).

This software was made using STOS BASIC v2.6. The 0.91 version was tested in ATARI MAGAZINE #21 (French magazine, March 91 ), page 59.
