Contents:

conquest:
You control an interstellar empire, decide which star systems to explore, which planets to colonize, etc. The computer will also be building its own empire and competing with you for resources. The one with the greatest population at the end wins. Executable only, no source.

dehex:
Simple little program to convert hex format file into a binary file. Reads lines of hex characters on stdin and writes 8 bit dehex'd bytes to stdout.

filezap:
Patch program for any type of file. Executable only, no source available.

fixobj:
Strip extraneous garbage off end of object files transfered with xmodem. Does not require preknowledge of actual file length, uses knowledge of Amiga file structure.

iff:
Routines to read and write iff format files. Includes program to display iff files made by DPaint. Also see the DPSlide program on disk 11.

ld:
I presume this stands for "list directory". Lists contents of specified diretory or disk, using inverse video and colors to group objects by type.

ls:
Minimal implementation of UNIX ls. Demonstrates use of UNIX style filename pattern matching code.

sq.usq:
Squeeze and unsqueeze, from the CPM world. Works, but "compress" from disk 6 runs almost twice as fast and produces even smaller files.

trek73:
A Star Trek game. This one is just crying out to be Amiga'ized by some ambitious hacker.

yachtc:
Dice game.
