Ray Sbaitso:

Thanks to everyone involved with DevCon from 2012 through the present. Without the efforts of many members of the Amiga community, the volunteers who donate their time and energy and the sponsors who help make the shows possible this valuable development resource would not be available. Special thanks to Brian Deneen, Steven Solie, Robert Bernardo, Bill Borsari and many others who assist in ways both large and small. Visit the [https://www.amiwest.net/ AmiWest website] for more details on DevCon and Amiwest.

AmigaOS Apps Productivity & Utilities

2021-12-25T22:01:27Z

Ray Sbaitso: Added RNOArchive

AmigaOS offers a wide range of productivity and utilitiy applications to help maximize user experience as well as the ability to highly customize the operating system. The following list highlights just a few of the applications available to assist users in getting the most out of their system.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AbiWord ==

[[File:Abiword.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AbiWord is a professional word processor and part of the Gnome Office Suite. It supports a wide range of file formats such as Word, Open Office and Word Perfect, automatic spell checking, tables, headers, footnotes and more.

Abiword requires the installation of AmiCygnix and can be downloaded from the AmiCygnix webpage.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiCygnix ==

[[File:Amicygnix-base.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiSystemRestore ==

[[File:amisystemrestore.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs.
A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time.
Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).

== Annotate ==

[[File:Annotate.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OnyxSoft webpage]]

A comprehensive text editor written for AmigaOS.

Current features include:

* Syntax Highlighting
* Multi-unit clipboard support
* Unlimited Undo/Redo

== Aorganiser ==

[[File:Aorganzier.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

This is the latest release of a simple to use Diary program. It was originally conceived as an AmigaOS4 replacement for the Digital Organiser but is not intended to be a direct clone of that program. It has a GUI styled on a traditional paper diary and also an Arexx interface.

[http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=office/misc/aorganiser.lha Aorganiser OS4Depot webpage]

== BackUP ==

[[File:Backup.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OnyxSoft webpage]]

This is a simple backup tool, nothing fancy. It simply copies files from one directory to another. Of course it only copies files that are different in some way, like size or date etc.

Current features include:

* Easy to use GUI.
* Ability to backup from one directory to another directory.
* Quick and copies only what needs to be copied.
* Copies files and directories as they are, does not store in some custom backup format.
* Can be used from the boot shell without any libraries installed.
* Copy softlinks as softlinks by recreating the softlinks on the target.
* Copy softlinks by following the links and copy the files and directories.
* Ignore all links completely, including hardlinks.
* Specify sub-directories that should be excluded from the backup.
* Specify large individual files (over 512kB) that should be excluded from the backup.
* Clean the backup from old, previously backed up files that have been removed from the source.
* Can be aborted or paused.
* Can be executed from scripts including all features normally controlled through the GUI.
* Can backup based only on the archive protection bit.

== Cinnamon Writer ==

[[File:Cinnamonwriter.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: Cinnamon Writer webpage]]

Cinnamon Writer is a compact and efficient word processor developed especially
with AmigaOS in mind. Cinnamon Writer has all of the basic functionality expected of a modern word processor. This includes changeable layout style, support of anti-aliased truetype fonts, infinite "intelligent" Undo/Redo history, user defined page setup and file compatibility with other word processors as Word and OpenOffice that can use RTF or DocX files.

[https://desler.be/wordpress/ Cinnamon Writer webpage]

== ComicOn ==

[[File:Comiconshot.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: ComicOn webpage]]

ComicOn displays all your favorite comic strips. Simply select the comic strip and date from the available list and ComicOn displays the strip for you.

[http://evil.bplaced.net/index.php?name=ComicOn&page=start ComicOn webpage]

AmigaOS Apps Productivity & Utilities

Ray Sbaitso: /* RNOXfer */ Changed download site to OS4Depot

AmigaOS offers a wide range of productivity and utilitiy applications to help maximize user experience as well as the ability to highly customize the operating system. The following list highlights just a few of the applications available to assist users in getting the most out of their system.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AbiWord ==

[[File:Abiword.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AbiWord is a professional word processor and part of the Gnome Office Suite. It supports a wide range of file formats such as Word, Open Office and Word Perfect, automatic spell checking, tables, headers, footnotes and more.

Abiword requires the installation of AmiCygnix and can be downloaded from the AmiCygnix webpage.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiCygnix ==

[[File:Amicygnix-base.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiSystemRestore ==

[[File:amisystemrestore.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs.
A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time.
Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).

[[File:mindspace2.jpg|300px|thumb|center|Image Source: MindSpace webpage]]

MindSpace can help you create a wide range of diagrams and drawings. However, its original prime development focus is on the production of MindMaps.

A MindMap is a diagram showing a collection of ideas, themes or keywords. Ideas can be arranged in order or by related groups with lines and arrows showing connections or sequences across the map. Many MindMaps use color and images to reinforce key themes or connections. MindMaps can be used to plan essays, sketch out a presentation, organize a party - just about anything that requires a number of items to be organized, sequenced and then remembered!

MindSpace allows the user to produce:

* Spider Diagrams and Mind Maps
* Flowcharts
* Plans, UML, ER and Use Case diagrams
* Silly little drawings
* Simple DTP and page layout stuff

AmigaOS Apps Productivity & Utilities

2021-12-25T21:29:23Z

Ray Sbaitso: /* RNOPublisher */ Changed download site to OS4Depot

AmigaOS offers a wide range of productivity and utilitiy applications to help maximize user experience as well as the ability to highly customize the operating system. The following list highlights just a few of the applications available to assist users in getting the most out of their system.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AbiWord ==

[[File:Abiword.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AbiWord is a professional word processor and part of the Gnome Office Suite. It supports a wide range of file formats such as Word, Open Office and Word Perfect, automatic spell checking, tables, headers, footnotes and more.

Abiword requires the installation of AmiCygnix and can be downloaded from the AmiCygnix webpage.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiCygnix ==

[[File:Amicygnix-base.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiSystemRestore ==

[[File:amisystemrestore.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs.
A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time.
Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).

AmigaOS Apps Productivity & Utilities

2021-12-25T21:28:07Z

Ray Sbaitso: /* RNOComics */ Changed download site to OS4Depot

AmigaOS offers a wide range of productivity and utilitiy applications to help maximize user experience as well as the ability to highly customize the operating system. The following list highlights just a few of the applications available to assist users in getting the most out of their system.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AbiWord ==

[[File:Abiword.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AbiWord is a professional word processor and part of the Gnome Office Suite. It supports a wide range of file formats such as Word, Open Office and Word Perfect, automatic spell checking, tables, headers, footnotes and more.

Abiword requires the installation of AmiCygnix and can be downloaded from the AmiCygnix webpage.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiCygnix ==

[[File:Amicygnix-base.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiSystemRestore ==

AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs.
A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time.
Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).

AmigaOS Apps Productivity & Utilities

Ray Sbaitso: /* MindSpace */ Changed download URL to OS4Depot

AmigaOS offers a wide range of productivity and utilitiy applications to help maximize user experience as well as the ability to highly customize the operating system. The following list highlights just a few of the applications available to assist users in getting the most out of their system.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AbiWord ==

[[File:Abiword.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AbiWord is a professional word processor and part of the Gnome Office Suite. It supports a wide range of file formats such as Word, Open Office and Word Perfect, automatic spell checking, tables, headers, footnotes and more.

Abiword requires the installation of AmiCygnix and can be downloaded from the AmiCygnix webpage.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiCygnix ==

[[File:Amicygnix-base.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiSystemRestore ==

[[File:amisystemrestore.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs.
A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time.
Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).

AmigaOS Apps Productivity & Utilities

2021-12-25T21:21:21Z

Ray Sbaitso: /* ComicOn */ Removed RapaGUI requirement

AmigaOS offers a wide range of productivity and utilitiy applications to help maximize user experience as well as the ability to highly customize the operating system. The following list highlights just a few of the applications available to assist users in getting the most out of their system.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AbiWord ==

[[File:Abiword.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AbiWord is a professional word processor and part of the Gnome Office Suite. It supports a wide range of file formats such as Word, Open Office and Word Perfect, automatic spell checking, tables, headers, footnotes and more.

Abiword requires the installation of AmiCygnix and can be downloaded from the AmiCygnix webpage.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiCygnix ==

[[File:Amicygnix-base.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiSystemRestore ==

[[File:amisystemrestore.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs.
A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time.
Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).

== ArtEffect ==

[[File:arteffect1.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: Alinea Computer ArtEffect webpage]]
[[File:arteffect2.png|300px|thumb|center|Image Source: Alinea Computer ArtEffect webpage]]

ArtEffect is the first art program that gives the Amiga artists the power they need to do their ArtWork.

ArtEffect unites painting and image processing under a particularly productive user interface. We emphasize on productive functions which are quick and simple to use in your daily work. However not only beginners will like it but also the professionals who are looking for high quality and who want to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

ArtEffect is not "just another" graphics program for the Amiga. ArtEffect is not oriented towards the current "standard" programs on the Amiga, but rather to the classic programs for professional image processing such as Photoshop (TM) and for creative painting like Fractal Painter (TM).

Proven concepts and ideas of these classic products were merged with the uncontested advantages of the Amiga. You see the result before you.

Processing scanned images and graphics of all kind has been the Amiga's domain ever since the machine appeared. Nevertheless the products available for the Amiga have not been widely recognized by the graphics world during recent years. ArtEffect is the first program to provide productive image processing functions under a uniform and effective user interface in the typical Amiga style.

Particularly important are the functions to select certain areas of an image for processing. Of course some filters are often applied to the entire image, but when dealing with image errors it is necessary to select a particular area. So one can retouch a scanned photo in a narrow area without influencing the quality of the rest of the picture.

ArtEffect offers a wide range of selection functions (they are also known as mask functions) such as: rectangle, circle, freehand and specialties like color selection, running masks and "Magic Wand" (selection of connected areas with similar color). With this all cases of selections of certain areas can be done quickly and easily.

ArtEffect offers more than 30 different effects with countless options. All effects are used the same way and they all have the same user interface. Each effect has e.g. a Preview in which the effect is applied to an image section. The range can be zoomed in and out. A progress bar shows the progress of the operation. The options are very extensive so every effect can be adapted to your personal wishes.

ArtEffect is an 68K application running transparently on AmigaOS 4.x.

== Bars and Pipes ==

[[File:barsandpipes.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: Bars and Pipes OS4Depot webpage]]
[[File:tracks.png|500px|thumb|center|Image Source: AmigaOS wiki webpage]]

Bars n Pipes is a MIDI sequencer with some very creative abilities. By dropping tools on to Pipelines, it is easy to experiment without making permanent changes to the recorded song.

MIDI is an acronym for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface", and it allows remote control of synthesizers, audio mixers, and a variety of other production equipment. "sequencer" is simply a device or program that allows recording, playback, and editing of MIDI events.

Bars n Pipes lets you record, edit, and play back musical performances. This is NOT the same as audio recording. In a sequencer, we can make changes to the volume, tempo, and even the instrument being played, even AFTER the recording has been made. This offers a level of flexibility that audio recording does not have.

As an editor, Bars n Pipes lets you view the recorded performance as a list of events, or as "Bars" on a staff, with the length of each bar showing the note duration. You can simply drag notes around to change time, pitch or length, within user selectable boundaries.

The output of each track is represented by a Pipe, carrying the performance to an output. Bars n Pipes will let you drop any variety of tools on to the track to change the output, it does this without making any changes to the actual recording. So you can add an "echo" tool, even while the song is playing, and suddenly you'll hear notes on that track begin to echo. If you click on the tool you just dropped, you'll get a window that lets you control the parameters of the echo effect. Bars and Pipes gives you the tools to duplicate a track, or split high/low from any setpoint, quantize the notes to "tighten up" the timing, or unquantize tools to make the drummer sound a bit drunk. Create inversions, or chords, modify volume, velocity, or any other parameter you can name from a selection of over 80 tools. You can combine tools into patterns of your own design, and create "Macro-Tools" that you can add to your toolbox. If you decide that you want to make permanent changes, you can "toolize" a selected region, track, group, or the entire song. This flexible use of tools allows you to experiment without any fear of making a wrong move. It really frees you up to enjoy the experience.

AmigaOS Apps Productivity & Utilities

2021-04-03T03:21:58Z

Ray Sbaitso: /* ComicOn */ Webpage for software has new URL

AmigaOS offers a wide range of productivity and utilitiy applications to help maximize user experience as well as the ability to highly customize the operating system. The following list highlights just a few of the applications available to assist users in getting the most out of their system.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AbiWord ==

[[File:Abiword.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AbiWord is a professional word processor and part of the Gnome Office Suite. It supports a wide range of file formats such as Word, Open Office and Word Perfect, automatic spell checking, tables, headers, footnotes and more.

Abiword requires the installation of AmiCygnix and can be downloaded from the AmiCygnix webpage.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiCygnix ==

[[File:Amicygnix-base.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiSystemRestore ==

[[File:amisystemrestore.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs.
A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time.
Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).

== AmigaAMP ==

[[File:Amigaamp.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmigaAMP OS4Depot webpage]]

AmigaAMP is a powerful realtime multi format audio player for Amiga computers. It is based on the amp decoding engine by Tomislav Uzelac and can do realtime decoding on 50 MHz processors and up. AmigaAMP is a completely free and non-commercial project. Fraunhofer IIS and THOMSON multimedia grant a free license to use their MPEG Layer-3 audio compression technology for this kind of software.

The player comes with a fully fontsensitive, style guide conformous Amiga GadTools user interface and features multithreaded non-blocking windows for main interface, stream information and playlist. GatTools GUI

Can be made to look and behave like WinAMP just by ticking a checkbox in the configuration window. It can load all the WinAMP skins and can display a realtime spectrum analyzer.

AmigaAMP can do realtime decoding even on slower 680x0 processors using Stephane Tavenard's highly optimized mpega.library. On a 68040-40 you can play Layer3 at half the sampling rate and with reduced quality. Full quality and sampling rate can be achieved with a 68060-50.

[[File:arteffect1.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: Alinea Computer ArtEffect webpage]]
[[File:arteffect2.png|300px|thumb|center|Image Source: Alinea Computer ArtEffect webpage]]

ArtEffect is the first art program that gives the Amiga artists the power they need to do their ArtWork.

ArtEffect unites painting and image processing under a particularly productive user interface. We emphasize on productive functions which are quick and simple to use in your daily work. However not only beginners will like it but also the professionals who are looking for high quality and who want to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

ArtEffect is not "just another" graphics program for the Amiga. ArtEffect is not oriented towards the current "standard" programs on the Amiga, but rather to the classic programs for professional image processing such as Photoshop (TM) and for creative painting like Fractal Painter (TM).

Proven concepts and ideas of these classic products were merged with the uncontested advantages of the Amiga. You see the result before you.

Processing scanned images and graphics of all kind has been the Amiga's domain ever since the machine appeared. Nevertheless the products available for the Amiga have not been widely recognized by the graphics world during recent years. ArtEffect is the first program to provide productive image processing functions under a uniform and effective user interface in the typical Amiga style.

Particularly important are the functions to select certain areas of an image for processing. Of course some filters are often applied to the entire image, but when dealing with image errors it is necessary to select a particular area. So one can retouch a scanned photo in a narrow area without influencing the quality of the rest of the picture.

ArtEffect offers a wide range of selection functions (they are also known as mask functions) such as: rectangle, circle, freehand and specialties like color selection, running masks and "Magic Wand" (selection of connected areas with similar color). With this all cases of selections of certain areas can be done quickly and easily.

ArtEffect offers more than 30 different effects with countless options. All effects are used the same way and they all have the same user interface. Each effect has e.g. a Preview in which the effect is applied to an image section. The range can be zoomed in and out. A progress bar shows the progress of the operation. The options are very extensive so every effect can be adapted to your personal wishes.

ArtEffect is an 68K application running transparently on AmigaOS 4.x.

== Bars and Pipes ==

[[File:barsandpipes.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: Bars and Pipes OS4Depot webpage]]
[[File:tracks.png|500px|thumb|center|Image Source: AmigaOS wiki webpage]]

Bars n Pipes is a MIDI sequencer with some very creative abilities. By dropping tools on to Pipelines, it is easy to experiment without making permanent changes to the recorded song.

MIDI is an acronym for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface", and it allows remote control of synthesizers, audio mixers, and a variety of other production equipment. "sequencer" is simply a device or program that allows recording, playback, and editing of MIDI events.

Bars n Pipes lets you record, edit, and play back musical performances. This is NOT the same as audio recording. In a sequencer, we can make changes to the volume, tempo, and even the instrument being played, even AFTER the recording has been made. This offers a level of flexibility that audio recording does not have.

As an editor, Bars n Pipes lets you view the recorded performance as a list of events, or as "Bars" on a staff, with the length of each bar showing the note duration. You can simply drag notes around to change time, pitch or length, within user selectable boundaries.

The output of each track is represented by a Pipe, carrying the performance to an output. Bars n Pipes will let you drop any variety of tools on to the track to change the output, it does this without making any changes to the actual recording. So you can add an "echo" tool, even while the song is playing, and suddenly you'll hear notes on that track begin to echo. If you click on the tool you just dropped, you'll get a window that lets you control the parameters of the echo effect. Bars and Pipes gives you the tools to duplicate a track, or split high/low from any setpoint, quantize the notes to "tighten up" the timing, or unquantize tools to make the drummer sound a bit drunk. Create inversions, or chords, modify volume, velocity, or any other parameter you can name from a selection of over 80 tools. You can combine tools into patterns of your own design, and create "Macro-Tools" that you can add to your toolbox. If you decide that you want to make permanent changes, you can "toolize" a selected region, track, group, or the entire song. This flexible use of tools allows you to experiment without any fear of making a wrong move. It really frees you up to enjoy the experience.

AmigaAMP can do realtime decoding even on slower 680x0 processors using Stephane Tavenard's highly optimized mpega.library. On a 68040-40 you can play Layer3 at half the sampling rate and with reduced quality. Full quality and sampling rate can be achieved with a 68060-50.

AmigaAMP 3 is completely AmigaOS4 native giving you the performance you'd expect from a fast PowerPC system. It can play MPEG Layer-2, Layer-3, OGG, M4A, FLAC, AIFF, WAV and MOD/S3M/XM/IT through built-in decoders and lots more via TuneNet plugins.

In addition to the 68k decoder AmigaAMP 2 comes with two PPC native decoding engines one for PowerUP and one for WarpUP. Both engines feature high quality realtime decoding of Layer2 and Layer3 streams, graphic equalizer settings and full visualization.

On a PPC604e-200 you can play two 128kbps Layer3 streams with equalizer switched on and crossfade between the two without taking much CPU load! The realtime analyzers will continue to run smoothly without any latency problems at all.

AmigaAMP uses the widespread AHI Audio System at device access level. You can use it with any AHI compatible soundcard as well as with the original Amiga audio chipset.

Current Features include:

* MPEG Layer-2, Layer-3, OGG, M4A, FLAC, AIFF, WAV and MOD/S3M/XM/IT playback
* TuneNet plugin support
* Visualisation plugin system
* ReAction based user interface
* Alternatively WinAMP compatible user interface
* Workbench application (you can drop icons on its window)

[[File:arteffect1.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: Alinea Computer ArtEffect webpage]]
[[File:arteffect2.png|300px|thumb|center|Image Source: Alinea Computer ArtEffect webpage]]

ArtEffect is the first art program that gives the Amiga artists the power they need to do their ArtWork.

ArtEffect unites painting and image processing under a particularly productive user interface. We emphasize on productive functions which are quick and simple to use in your daily work. However not only beginners will like it but also the professionals who are looking for high quality and who want to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

ArtEffect is not "just another" graphics program for the Amiga. ArtEffect is not oriented towards the current "standard" programs on the Amiga, but rather to the classic programs for professional image processing such as Photoshop (TM) and for creative painting like Fractal Painter (TM).

Proven concepts and ideas of these classic products were merged with the uncontested advantages of the Amiga. You see the result before you.

Processing scanned images and graphics of all kind has been the Amiga's domain ever since the machine appeared. Nevertheless the products available for the Amiga have not been widely recognized by the graphics world during recent years. ArtEffect is the first program to provide productive image processing functions under a uniform and effective user interface in the typical Amiga style.

Particularly important are the functions to select certain areas of an image for processing. Of course some filters are often applied to the entire image, but when dealing with image errors it is necessary to select a particular area. So one can retouch a scanned photo in a narrow area without influencing the quality of the rest of the picture.

ArtEffect offers a wide range of selection functions (they are also known as mask functions) such as: rectangle, circle, freehand and specialties like color selection, running masks and "Magic Wand" (selection of connected areas with similar color). With this all cases of selections of certain areas can be done quickly and easily.

ArtEffect offers more than 30 different effects with countless options. All effects are used the same way and they all have the same user interface. Each effect has e.g. a Preview in which the effect is applied to an image section. The range can be zoomed in and out. A progress bar shows the progress of the operation. The options are very extensive so every effect can be adapted to your personal wishes.

ArtEffect is an 68K application running transparently on AmigaOS 4.x.

== Bars and Pipes ==

[[File:barsandpipes.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: Bars and Pipes OS4Depot webpage]]
[[File:tracks.png|500px|thumb|center|Image Source: AmigaOS wiki webpage]]

Bars n Pipes is a MIDI sequencer with some very creative abilities. By dropping tools on to Pipelines, it is easy to experiment without making permanent changes to the recorded song.

MIDI is an acronym for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface", and it allows remote control of synthesizers, audio mixers, and a variety of other production equipment. "sequencer" is simply a device or program that allows recording, playback, and editing of MIDI events.

Bars n Pipes lets you record, edit, and play back musical performances. This is NOT the same as audio recording. In a sequencer, we can make changes to the volume, tempo, and even the instrument being played, even AFTER the recording has been made. This offers a level of flexibility that audio recording does not have.

As an editor, Bars n Pipes lets you view the recorded performance as a list of events, or as "Bars" on a staff, with the length of each bar showing the note duration. You can simply drag notes around to change time, pitch or length, within user selectable boundaries.

The output of each track is represented by a Pipe, carrying the performance to an output. Bars n Pipes will let you drop any variety of tools on to the track to change the output, it does this without making any changes to the actual recording. So you can add an "echo" tool, even while the song is playing, and suddenly you'll hear notes on that track begin to echo. If you click on the tool you just dropped, you'll get a window that lets you control the parameters of the echo effect. Bars and Pipes gives you the tools to duplicate a track, or split high/low from any setpoint, quantize the notes to "tighten up" the timing, or unquantize tools to make the drummer sound a bit drunk. Create inversions, or chords, modify volume, velocity, or any other parameter you can name from a selection of over 80 tools. You can combine tools into patterns of your own design, and create "Macro-Tools" that you can add to your toolbox. If you decide that you want to make permanent changes, you can "toolize" a selected region, track, group, or the entire song. This flexible use of tools allows you to experiment without any fear of making a wrong move. It really frees you up to enjoy the experience.

Blender was first conceived in December 1993 and born as a usable product in August 1994 as an integrated application that enables the creation of a diverse range of 2D and 3D content. Blender provides a broad spectrum of modeling, texturing, lighting, animation and video post-processing functionality in one package. Through its open architecture, Blender provides cross-platform interoperability, extensibility, an incredibly small footprint, and a tightly integrated workflow. Blender is one of the most popular Open Source 3D graphics applications in the world.

Aimed at media professionals and artists world-wide, Blender can be used to create 3D visualizations, stills as well as broadcast and cinema quality videos, while the incorporation of a real-time 3D engine allows for the creation of 3D interactive content for stand-alone playback.

Originally developed by the company 'Not a Number' (NaN), Blender now is continued as 'Free Software', with the source code available under the GNU GPL license. The Blender Foundation in the Netherlands coordinates its ongoing development.

Between 2008 and 2010, Blender has been entirely re-coded to improve its functions, workflow and interface.

How to open and use the exec debug interface

Next step in my small series concerns itself with how to open and use the "secret" (but very useful) debug interface. Thanks to Steven Solie and Thomas Frieden.

Probably the best way to trap exceptions from within your code is to use the debug interface, that is "hidden" inside exec.library. The main problem with this interface is, that it is not very well documented. My main source of documentation on this issue is the amigaos-nat.c file from Thomas Friedens [[GDB_for_Beginners|GDB]] sources. These can be found inside [https://sourceforge.net/projects/adtools/ the adtools project on sourceforge.net].

The following code just plainly opens the interface, attaches a debug hook to itself, causes an exception and tells you what has happened. Normally you wouldn't attach the hook to your own process. Rather you would open whatever code you want to debug with fx. LoadSeg(), run it with CreateNewProc() (or some other way) and attach the debug hook to it. To keep things simple, though, this code just attaches the hook to itself.

= Introduction =

The idea for this tutorial came from when we was playing with Dopus5 source code and wanted to make one single function from the 68k version of dopus5.library to work from native AmigaOS 4 code. While we have all kind of auto generation tools to build all kind of protos/interfaces/inlines/stubs/etc, it still wasn't clear to me how to do what I needed.

Since the beginning a very helpful article was Thomas Rapp's [http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/ppclib.html How to create PPC stubs for M68K libraries] where he shows how to use fd2pragma and IDLTool to build a jpeg.l.main stub from a 68k jpeg.library, as well as helpful answers from Fredrik Wikstrom. In the end, all this information was important to write down so I put everything into this tutorial. I hope other developers will find it useful.

= PowerPC->68k Glue Stubs =

While 68k libraries are old and almost all libraries on AmigaOS today are PowerPC native ones, there are still some old AmigaOS 3.x libraries which are necessary and have no native PowerPC replacement. In that case we need to create for them necessary PowerPC->68k glue stub files, so we can call those 68k library routines from native, PowerPC code, or, we can use EmulateTags(). The latter makes it easy for your code to use both PowerPC and 68k native libraries transparently with only a small bit of small overhead; just a few instructions. But this only works when the PowerPC native code is available and when there are just a few functions in the library. Quite often, you just don't want to deal with all this because of the large number of functions in a 68k library and the different ways of using them from the code. In this case, creating of PowerPC->68k stubs is a simpler and faster way.

For a better explanation of what a PowerPC->68k stub is, refer to the [[Migration_Guide|Migration Guide]]. In short, if you have, let's say, the 68k version of dopus5.library and want to use it from native AmigaOS 4 binaries then you need to create dopus5.l.main. When code in your native binary needs to interface to a old AmigaOS3 library, the system (ramlib to be more precise) will automatically scan its library search path for the file "dopus5.l.main" and if found, it will open it and obtain the interface from there. That l.main file is pure non-startup code which contains the necessary stubs. You do not need to write the stubs from scratch manually. This is a job for different set of tools (fd2pragma, fdtrans and IDLTool). The library.l.main code consists of 2 files if you auto generate them: PowerPC->68k cross call stubs and vectors. Of course you can write them from scratch manually, but its a pain and there are already tools which do it for you.

The name of the file in general does not matter. A library does not necessarily have to be named ".library" and could be named ".module" or whatever. Ramlib will search for the first "." in the library name, starting from the end, the first part up to and including the dot plus one more character, usually the 'l' in library, is used, another dot is appended, then the interface name is added. It then calls the exec function.

For example, if the interface name is 'main' and the library name is 'foobar' then this is what it looks for:

foobar.library -> foobar.l.main
foobar.blabla -> foobar.b.main
foobar.module -> foobar.m.main

{{Note|text=Because of the way RamLib parses glue-stubs names, you can't call your glue stub for "foobar.library" as "foobar.library.main". It is understandable from the explanation above, but it can be misleading when you run for example "snoopy" and can see how it tries to search for "foobar.library.main", but it didn't tries to search for a file, just for "resident" code in memory. The real file ramlib will look for is only foobar.l.main when the main library is called as foobar.library.}}

{{Note|text=You can't put your glue stub files in directories other than PROGDIR:, PROGDIR:Libs or LIBS: as RamLib will not find them. If you have let's say a directory "modules" where you store some of your plugins (which in reality are libraries), then you can't put your glue stub files in the same "modules" directory, but to the place mention above.}}

= pragmas/fd/sfd/protos =

Often, old 68k libraries were not done with GCC. On old m68k machines, SAS/C was the popular C compiler and pure assembler was even more popular for everyday needs. So many of those old libraries were provided with includes for SAS/C only or for assembler (like .i files) or a mix of the two. You may have such library with which you have only a pragma file and a bunch of proto files for functions which are present in more than one proto file (i.e. no .fd file at all, no single include with all protos). The first thing to do is to create a single proto file from those different proto files you have in different places, manually make your .fd file from pragma (check all offsets and order how they are placed in pragma file, and in the same order put them to your new .fd). Then when you have only one proto file and one .fd file, you can generate a .sfd file and an .xml one with fd2pragma. Then generate from it all includes/vectors/stubs and only after that you can generate lib.l.main :) Usually its not that hard, and most old libraries have .fd files and a single proto include file, but sometimes you will have to do it for difficult libs, so you will know what to do.

All we need to know now is that libraries have a jump table. Jump tables are a list of library functions at specific offsets. Offsets can't be changed because they are function offsets in the library that your code will call. Be it with the old SAS/C, an assembler or the new GCC on AmigaOS 4, if we work with a 68k library and create any fd/proto files from scratch then the offsets should always be the same.

For example you have dopus_pragmas.h file and dopus.fd files (fd files are a standard way to describe the interface for libraries) and dopus_pragmas entries look like this:

<syntaxhighlight>
#pragma libcall DOpusBase RemovedFunc0 1e 0
#pragma libcall DOpusBase Random 24 001
#pragma libcall DOpusBase Atoh 2a 0802
....
</syntaxhighlight>

It means that the first "user" library function in a jump table starts at offset 0x1e (30) and then multiply by 6 for every function. So first function is at 30 (0x1e), second one is at 36 (0x24), the next one is at 42 (0x2a) and so on for all the functions. That means that if for example function Atoh() in the jump table is placed at offset 0x2a, then every single code and includes file which we will generate for AmigaOS 4 should respect that jump-table offset.

If we look at the dopus_lib.fd file we see:

<syntaxhighlight>
* "dopus.library"
##base _DOpusBase
##bias 30
*
* Support routines for Directory Opus and associated programs
* (c) Copyright 1995 Jonathan Potter
*
##public
RemovedFunc0()()
Random(limit)(d0)
*
Atoh(str,len)(a0,d0)
....
</syntaxhighlight>

This means that public functions start from offset 30 (bias 30), and they are placed in the same order as they are in the pragma file. So if you change the order of function names in the FD file you will end calling a function instead of another one, which of course means crashes, bugs and problems.

So respect offsets in the jump table.

Note that .sfd files work like .fd files but with more possibilities. You won't find them in old 68k dev archives of libraries as its something new. They contain a lot more information than .fd and are easier to use. But more or less they follow the same logic, the same respect for offsets, etc. To see a full description of .fd and .sfd formats check the fd2pragma guide.

= Now What? =

We have 2 methods to build lib.l.main and required includes. But for both of them you need .fd file as a minimum (if you have .sfd its even better), and a proto file which will describe all (or not all) your functions. While .fd/.sfd should be done by the original developer, you still can make them from scratch if you have a pragma file with lib calls (you make this file with the same order and the same offsets). If you don't have one proto file, but many in different includes, then you can make your own one, just copy one by one all the protos from all the include files, while all your FD entries will not have necessary proto descriptions in proto file (by the way, if you don't have proto for some functions, then entries from the fd/sfd file will be reserved when you will auto generate AmigaOS code/includes, so respect offsets).

Let's say we have dopus_lib.fd and only protos in different includes in different places. We then create proto file from all those includes (in referring to the dopus_lib.fd), and then auto-tools time coming. As I say we have 2 ways:

== Method 1: fdtrans + sfd ==

1. generate a .sfd file:

ram:> fd2pragma dopus5_lib.fd clib our_proto.h special 112
SourceFile: dopus5_lib.fd
ResultFile: dopus5_lib.sfd

2. generate xml and ppc->68k crosscall stubs via fdtrans:

ram:> fdtrans dopus5_lib.sfd -x -s

Change manually in the cross call-stubs file (dopus5.c) "main_vectors" in "main_v1_vectors", as it seems some typo between different tools. No other changes is needed, fdtrans automatically insert including of interface (while fd2pragma will skip it, see later).

3. generate proto/interface/inline (i.e. includes) and vectors:

ram:> idltool -p -i -n -c dopus5.xml

4. build dopus5.l.main
ram:> gcc -Iinclude -nostartfiles dopus5.c -o dopus5.l.main

5. build a test program to use one function from dopus5.library, here StrConcat()

<syntaxhighlight>
#include <proto/exec.h>
#include <proto/dos.h>
#include <proto/dopus5.h>

struct Library *DOpusBase;
struct DOpusIFace *IDOpus;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
TEXT buffer[256] = "First part-";
CONST_STRPTR concat = "Second part";

// Need dopus library
if (!(DOpusBase = IExec->OpenLibrary("PROGDIR:dopus5.library", 1))) {
IDOS->Printf("Can't open library\n");
}
else {
if (!(IDOpus = (struct DOpusIFace*)IExec->GetInterface(DOpusBase, "main", 1, NULL))) {
IDOS->Printf("Can't get interface\n");
}
else {
IDOpus->StrConcat(buffer, concat, 36);
IDOS->Printf("Result=%s\n", buffer);

IExec->DropInterface((struct Interface*)IDOpus);
}

IExec->CloseLibrary(DOpusBase);
}

return 0;
}
</syntaxhighlight>

ram:> gcc -Iinclude testcase-native-fdtrans.c
ram:> a.out
ram:> Result=First part-Second part

It works!

== Method 2: fd2pragma + fd ==

1. Create an XML file:

ram:> fd2pragma dopus5_lib.fd clib proto.h special 140
SourceFile: dopus5_lib.fd
Resultfile: dopus5.xml

2. generate ppc->68k crosscall stubs:

ram:> fd2pragma dopus5_lib.fd clib proto.h special 141
SourceFile: dopus5_lib.fd
Resultfile: dopus5.c

In the result file (dopus5.c) manually add including of interfaces/dopus5.h file and replace value "main_vectors" with "main_v1_vectors"

3. generate proto/interface/inline (i.e. includes) and vectors:

ram:> idltool -p -i -n -c dopus5.xml

4. build dopus5.l.main

ram:> gcc -Iinclude -nostartfiles dopus5.c -o dopus5.l.main

5. build a test program (its a bit different compared to the previous test program because the name of the interface is a bit different (big/small letters, 5 at end, etc) :

<syntaxhighlight>
#include <proto/exec.h>
#include <proto/dos.h>
#include <proto/dopus5.h>

struct Library *DOpusBase;
struct Dopus5IFace *IDopus5;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
TEXT buffer[256] = "First part-";
CONST_STRPTR concat = "Second part";

// Need dopus library
if (!(DOpusBase = IExec->OpenLibrary("PROGDIR:dopus5.library", 1))) {
IDOS->Printf("Can't open library");
}
else {
if (!(IDopus5 = IExec->GetInterface(DOpusBase, "main", 1, NULL))) {
IDOS->Printf("Can't get interface");
}
else {
IDopus5->StrConcat(buffer, concat, 36);
IDOS->Printf("Result=%s\n", buffer);

IExec->DropInterface((struct Interface*)IDopus5);
}

IExec->CloseLibrary(DOpusBase);
}

return 0;
}
</syntaxhighlight>

Then hard-reboot is needed if you did the previous test with dopus5.l.main done from fd2trans as it is still in memory (and it can freeze the OS because of different code of the same stub libs), and then:

ram:> gcc -Iinclude testcase-native-fd2pragma.c
ram:> a.out
ram:> Result=First part-Second part

It works as well!

== Conclusion ==

Which method is better? In my opinion, the fdtrans one because:

# You need less changes (no need to manually include interfaces/dopus5.h file).
# The code of stubs from fdtrans look better and cleaner in comparison with the code of stubs from fd2pragma. For example even small things like comments saying what values in hex mean in your offset jump table is pretty nice (especially when you work manually with pragmas, where hex offsets are present).
# Size of dopus.l.main done from fd2pragma output is larger in comparison with the size of dopus.l.main created from fdtrans output.

= I want one single function to work =

Now for something interesting. You may want to check if it all works from AmigaOS 4 and with your new lib.l.main and native AmigaOS includes, code, etc. You then choose any "simple" function from the library and make a simple AmigaOS 4 native test program for it. Let's say it will be the StrConcat() function from dopus5.library, which is described in the pragma file as:

<syntaxhighlight>
#pragma libcall DOpusBase StrConcat 47a 09803
</syntaxhighlight>

and in dopus_lib.fd like:

<syntaxhighlight>
StrConcat(s1,s2,len)(a0/a1,d0)
</syntaxhighlight>

We then simply calculate:

1. 0x47a = 1146<br>
2. 1146 / 6 = 191<br>
3. 191 - 4 (i.e. 30/6 from beginning 5, but 30 is our first one, so -4) = 187<br>

i.e. entry in jump table for StrConcat is 187. The entry in the dopus_lib.fd file for Strconcat is also 187 in the list of functions (+ header of .fd)

In other words you can build your .fd file from scratch, which will look like this:

<syntaxhighlight>
* "dopus.library"
##base _DOpusBase
##bias 30
*
* Support routines for Directory Opus and associated programs
* (c) Copyright 1995 Jonathan Potter
*
##public
aa()()
aa()()
aa()()
aa()()
.... 186 entries to fill the gap in jump table ....
StrConcat(s1,s2,len)(a0/a1,d0)
....
##end
</syntaxhighlight>

Obviously, you can go the more elegant way and use .sfd instead, which have "reserved" keyword, so no need to put all those empty-functions like:

<syntaxhighlight>
==id $Id: dopus5_lib.sfd,v 1.0 2013/03/29 09:24:08 noname Exp $
* "dopus5.library"
==base _DopusBase
==basetype struct Library *
==libname dopus5.library
==bias 30
==public
==include <exec/types.h>
==reserve 186
BOOL StrConcat(char * s1, char * s2, int len) (a0,a1,d0)
==end
</syntaxhighlight>

And when you will generate all necessary stuff via fd2grama/fdtrans/idltool from .fd or from .sfd, offsets will be respected. When you will call IDopus->StrConcat(blablab) from your code it will work because StrConcat will be found in the jump-table at the right offset.

= Final words =

As usual, there is nothing hardcore in here. This is just a short article about the problems which I encountered. I hope that it can be of any help for new developers. Thanks to Fredrik Wikstrom for hints about offsets calculation, Colin Wenzel for explaining how RamLib works when it scans paths for stubs, to Jeffrey Gilpin for his knowledge and many others for proofreading and grammar corrections.

= Introduction =

Back in the past, I wanted to make the smallest possible executables on UNIX-ish operating systems (SunOS, Tru64, OS9, OpenVMS and others). As a result of my research I wrote a couple of small tutorials for various hacking-related magazines (like Phrack or x25zine). Doing the same on AmigaOS naturally became a topic of interest for me - even more so when I started seeing, in Amiga forums, questions like "Why are AmigaOS binaries bigger than they should be?" Therefore I believe that producing small AmigaOS executables could make an interesting topic for an article. Further in the text I'll explain how ldscripts can help the linker make non-aligned binaries, and cover various other aspects associated with the topic. I hope that at least for programmers the article will be an interesting and thought-provoking read.

Before you go on, please note that it is assumed here that you have basic programming skills and understanding of C and assembler, that you are familiar with BSD syntax, know how UNIX and AmigaOS work, and that you have the PPC V.4-ABI and ELF specification at hand. But if you don't, there's no need to stop reading as I'll try to cover the basics where necessary.

= The Basics =

To begin with, let's present and discuss some basic terms and concepts. We'll also dispel some popular myths.

== The C standard library (libc) ==

Thirty years ago, when the C language developed so much that its different implementations started to pose a practical problem, the American National Institute of Standards (ANSI) formed a committee for the standardization of the language. The standard, generally referred to as ANSI C, was finally adopted in 1989 (this is why it is sometimes called C89). Part of this standard was a library including common functions, called the "C standard library", or "C library", or "libc". The library has been an inherent part of all subsequently adopted C standards.

Libc is platform-independent in the sense that it provides the same functionality regardless of operating system - be it UNIX, Linux, AmigaOS, OpenVMS, whatever. The actual implementation may vary from OS to OS. For example in UNIX, the most popular implementation of the C standard library is glibc (GNU Library C). But there are others: uClibc (for embedded Linux systems, without MMU), dietlibc (as the name suggests, it is meant to compile/link programs to the smallest possible size) or Newlib. Originally developed for a wide range of embedded systems, Newlib is the preferred C standard library in AmigaOS and is now part of the kernel.

On AmigaOS, three implementations of libc are used: clib2, newlib and vclib. The GCC compiler supports clib2 and newlib, the VBCC compiler supports newlib and vclib.

=== clib2 ===

This is an Amiga-specific implementation originally written from scratch by Olaf Barthel, with some ideas borrowed from the BSD libc implementation, libnix, etc. Under AmigaOS, clib2 is most often used when maximum compatibility with POSIX is required. The GCC compiler distributed as part of the AmigaOS SDK uses Newlib by default (as if you used the -mcrt=newlib switch). An important note: clib2 is only available for static linking, while Newlib is opened at runtime (thus making your executables smaller). Clib2 is open source, the latest version can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/clib2/

=== Newlib ===

A better and more modern libc implementation. While the AmigaOS version is closed source (all adaptations and additional work is done by the OS development team), it's based on the open source version of Newlib. The original version is maintained by RedHat developer Jeff Johnston, and is used in most commercial and non-commercical GCC ports for non-Linux embedded systems: http://www.sourceware.org/newlib/

Newlib does not cover the ANSI C99 standard only: it's an expanded library that also includes common POSIX functions (clib2 implements them as well). But certain POSIX functions - such as glob(), globfree(), or fork() - are missing; and while some of them are easy to implement, others are not - fork() being an example of the latter.

Newlib is also available as a shared object.

=== vclib ===

This library was made for the vbcc compiler. Like clib2 it is linked statically, but only provides ANSI C/C99 functions (i.e. no POSIX).

= Myth #1: AmigaOS behaves like UNIX =

From time to time you can hear voices saying that AmigaOS is becoming UNIX. This popular myth stems from three main sources. First, many games, utilities and libraries are ported over from the UNIX world. Second, AmigaOS uses genuine ELF, the standard binary file format used in UNIX and UNIX-like systems. Third, the OS supports, as of version 4.1, shared objects. All of this enables AmigaOS to provide more stuff for both programmers and users, and to complement native applications made for it. Today, it is quite normal that an operating system provides all the popular third-party libraries like SDL, OpenGL, Cairo, Boost, OpenAL, FreeType etc. Not only they make software development faster but they also allow platform-independent programming.

Yet getting close to UNIX or Linux in terms of software or programming tools does not mean that AmigaOS behaves in the same way as regards, for example, library initialization, passing arguments or system calls. On AmigaOS there are no "system calls" as they are on UNIXes, where you can simply pass arguments to registers and then use an instruction (like "int 0x80h" on x86 Linux, "trap 0" on M68 Linux, or "sc" on some PPC/POWER CPU based OSes), which will cause a software interrupt and enter the kernel in supervisor mode. The concept of AmigaOS is completely different. There is no kernel as such; Amiga's Kickstart is actually a collection of libraries (of which "kernel.kmod" is just one module - a new incarnation of the original exec.library). Also, an AmigaOS program, when calling a library function, won’t enter supervisor mode but rather stays in user mode when the function is executed.

[[File:HackingWayPart1-1.png|center]]

Since the very first version of the OS that came with the Amigas in 1985, you must open a library and use its vector table to execute a library function, so there’s no "system call" involved. The pointer to the first library (exec.library) is always at address 4 and that hasn’t changed in AmigaOS.

When you program in assembler under AmigaOS, you cannot do much until you initialize and open all the needed libraries (unlike, for example, on UNIX where the kernel does all the necessary initialisation for you).

= Myth #2: AmigaOS binaries are fat =

This misunderstanding stems from the fact that the latest AmigaOS SDK uses a newer version of binutils, which now aligns ELF segments to 64K so that they can be easily loaded with mmap(). Binutils are, naturally, developed with regard to UNIX-like OSes where the mmap() function actually exists so the modifications make sense - but since mmap() isn’t a genuine AmigaOS function (it’s just a wrapper using AllocVec() etc.), this kind of alignment is not needed for AmigaOS.

Luckily, the size difference is only noticeable in small programs, like Hello World, where the resulting executable grows to 65KB. Which of course is unbelievable and looks like something is wrong. But once you start programming for real and produce bigger programs, the code fills up the ELF segments as required, there’s little need for padding, and so there’s little size difference in the end. The worst-case scenario is ~64KB of extra padding, which only happens (as we said) in very small programs, or when you’re out of luck and your code only just exceeds a boundary between two segments.

It is likely that a newer SDK will adapt binutils for AmigaOS and the padding will no longer be needed. Currently, to avoid alignment you can use the "-N" switch, which tells the linker to use an ldscript that builds non-aligned binaries. Check the SDK:gcc/ppc-AmigaOS/lib/ldscripts directory; all the files ending with an "n" (like “AmigaOS.xn” or “ELF32ppc.xbn”) are linker scripts that ensure non-aligned builds. Such a script will be used when the GCC compiler receives the “-N” switch. See the following:

<pre>
7/0.RAM Disk:> type hello.c
</pre>

<syntaxhighlight>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("aaaa");
}
</syntaxhighlight>

<pre>
6/1.Work:> gcc hello.c -o hello
6/1.Work:> strip hello
6/1.Work:> filesize format=%s hello
65k
6/1.Work:> hello
aaaa
</pre>

<pre>
6/1.Work:> gcc -N hello.c -o hello
6/1.Work:> strip hello
6/1.Work:> filesize format=%s hello
5480
6/1.work:> hello
aaaa
</pre>

= Genuine ELF executables =

Just like libc, the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) is a common standard. It is a file format used for executables, objects and shared libraries. It gets the most attention in connection with UNIX but it is really used on numerous other operating systems: all UNIX derivatives (Solaris, Irix, Linux, BSD, etc.), OpenVMS, several OSes used in mobile phones/devices, game consoles such as the PlayStation, the Wii and others. PowerUP, the PPC Amiga kernel made by Phase5 back in the 1990s used the ELF format as well.

A more detailed description of the ELF internals will be given later; all you need to know for now is that the executable ELF file contains headers (the main header, and headers for the various sections) and sections/segments. The ELF file layout looks like this:

[[File:HackingWayPart1-2.png|center]]

AmigaOS uses genuine ELF executables versus relocatable objects.

The advantage of objects is that they are smaller and that relocations are always included. But there is a drawback as well: the linker will not tell you automatically whether all symbols have been resolved because an object is allowed to have unresolved references. (On the other hand, vlink could always detect unresolved references when linking PowerUP objects because it sees them as a new format.) This is why ELF shared objects cannot be used easily (though it’s still kind of possible using some hacks), and it explains why the AmigaOS team decided to go for real executables.

By specification, ELF files are meant to be executed from a fixed absolute address, and so AmigaOS programs need to be relocated (because all processes share the same address space). To do that, the compiler is passed the -q switch ("keep relocations"). Relocations are handled by the MMU, which will create a new virtual address space for each new process.

If you look at the linker scripts provided to build AmigaOS executables (in the SDK:gcc/ppc-AmigaOS/lib/ldscripts directory), you’ll find the following piece of code:

<pre>
ENTRY(_start)
....
SECTIONS
{
PROVIDE (__executable_start = 0x01000000); . = 0x01000000 + SIZEOF_HEADERS;
[...]
</pre>

As you can see, AmigaOS executables look like they are linked to be executed at an absolute address of 0x01000000. But this is only faked; the ELF loader and relocations will recalculate all absolute addresses in the program before it executes. Without relocations, each new process would be loaded at 0x01000000, where it would crash happily due to overwriting certain important areas, and because of other reasons. You may ask why 0x01000000 is used at all, considering that it’s just a placeholder and any number (be it 0x00000000, 0x99999999, 0xDEADBEEF or 0xFEEDFACE) can be used instead. We can speculate and assume that 0x01000000 was chosen because it is the beginning of the memory map accessible for instruction execution. But anyway, the value is currently not important.

To perform a test, let’s see what happens if we build our binary without the "-q" switch (that is, without making the binary relocatable):

<pre>
7/0.RAM Disk:> type test.c
</pre>

<syntaxhighlight>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("aaaa");
}
</syntaxhighlight>

<pre>
shell:> gcc test.c -S -o test.s
shell:> as test.s -o test
shell:> ld test.o -o test /SDK/newlib/lib/crtbegin.o /SDK/newlib/lib/LibC.a /SDK/newlib/lib/crtend.o
</pre>

When you run the executable, you get a DSI with the 80000003 error, on the 0x1c offset in _start (i.e. the code from the crtbegin.o). Ignoring the error will produce a yellow recoverable alert. The crash occurs because we have compiled an ELF file to be executed at the 0x01000000 address, and as no "-q" switch was used, the remapping did not take place. To better understand why it happens you can check the crtbegin.o code, i.e. the code added to the binary at linking stage, which contains all the OS-dependent initialisations. If you know nothing about PPC assembler you can skip the following part for now and return when you’ve read the entire article:

<pre>
6/0.RAM Disk:> objdump -D --no-show-raw-insn --stop-address=0x10000d0 test | grep -A8 "_start"
</pre>

<pre>
010000b0 <_start>:

10000b0: stwu r1,-64(r1) #
10000b4: mflr r0 # prologue (reserve 64 byte stack frame)
10000b8: stw r0,68(r1) #

10000bc: lis r9,257 # 257 is loaded into the higher half-word (msw) of r9 (257 << 16)
10000c0: stmw r25,36(r1) # offset into the stack frame
10000c4: mr r25,r3 # save command line stack pointer
10000c8: mr r27,r13 # r13 can be used as small data pointer in the V.4-ABI, and it also saved here
10000cc: stw r5,20(r9) # Write value (257 << 16) + 20 = 0x01010014 to the r5 (DOSBase pointer)
</pre>

The address in the last instruction points to a data segment starting at 0x010100000. But the address is invalid because, without any relocation, there is no data there and the MMU produces a data storage interrupt (DSI) error.

Of course it is possible to make a working binary without relocation, if the program doesn’t need to relocate and you are lucky enough to have the 0x1000000 address free of important contents. And of course you can use a different address for the entry point, by hex-editing the binary or at build-time using self-made ldscripts. Making a non-relocatable binary will be discussed further in the text.

= PowerPC assembly =

In case you are not familiar and have no experience with PowerPC assembly, the following section will explain some basic terms and concepts.

== Registers ==

The PowerPC processor architecture provides 32 general-purpose registers and 32 floating-point registers. We’ll only be interested in certain general-purpose registers and a couple of special ones. The following overview describes the registers as they are used under AmigaOS:

=== General-purpose registers ===

{| class="wikitable"
! Register
! AmigaOS usage
|-
| r0 || volatile register that may be modified during function linkage
|-
| r1 || stack-frame pointer, always valid
|-
| r2 || system reserved register
|-
| r3 || command-line pointer
|-
| r4 || command-line length
|-
| r5 || DOSBase pointer
|-
| colspan="2" | The contents of registers r3-r5 is only valid when the program starts)
|-
| r6 - r10 || volatile registers used for parameter passing
|-
| r11 - r12 || volatile registers that may be modified during function linkage
|-
| r13 || small data area pointer register
|-
| r14 - r30 || registers used for local variables; they are non-volatile; functions have to save and restore them
|-
| r31 || preferred by GCC in position-independent code (e.g. in shared objects) as a base pointer into the GOT section; however, the pointer can also be stored in another register
|}

Important note: This general-purpose register description shows that arguments can only be passed in registers r3 and above (that is, not in r0, r1 or r2). You need to keep that in mind when assembling/disassembling under AmigaOS.

=== Some special registers ===

{| class="wikitable"
| lr || link register; stores the "ret address" (i.e. the address to which a called function normally returns)
|-
| cr || condition register
|}

== Instructions ==

There are many different PowerPC instructions that serve many different purposes: there are branch instructions, condition register instructions, instructions for storage access, integer arithmetic, comparison, logic, rotation, cache control, processor management, and so on. In fact there are so many instructions that it would make no sense to cover them all here. You can download Freescale’s Green Book (see the Links section at the end of the article) if you are interested in a more detailed description but we’ll just stick to a number of instructions that are interesting and useful for our purposes.

; b
: Relative branch on address (example: "b 0x7fcc7244"). Note that there are both relative and absolute branches (ba). Relative branches can branch to a distance of -32 to +32MB. Absolute branches can jump to 0x00000000 - 0x01fffffc and 0xfe000000 - 0xfffffffc. However, absolute branches will not be used in AmigaOS programs.

; bctr
: Branch with count register. It uses the count register as a target address, so that the link register with, say, our return address remains unmodified.

; lis
: Stands for "load immediate shifted". The PowerPC instruction set doesn’t allow loading a 32-bit constant with a single instruction. You will always need two instructions that load the upper and the lower 16-bit half, respectively. For example, if you want to load 0x12345678 into register r3, you need to do the following:

<pre>
lis %r3,0x1234
ori %r3,%r3,0x5678
</pre>

Later in the article you’ll notice that this kind of construction is used all the time.

; mtlr
: "move to link register". In reality this is just a mnemonic for "mtspr 8,r". The instruction is typically used for transferring an address from register r0 to the link register (lr), but you can of course move contents to lr from other registers, not just r0.

; stwu
: "store word and update" (all instructions starting with “st” are for storing). For example, stwu %r1, -16(%r1) stores the contents of register r1 into a memory location whose effective address is calculated by taking the value of 16 from r1. At the same time, r1 is updated to contain the effective address. As we already know, register r1 contains the stack-frame pointer so our instruction stores the contents of the register to a position at offset -16 from the current top of stack and then decrements the stack pointer by 16.

The PowerPC processor has many more instructions and various kinds of mnemonics, all of which are well covered in numerous PPC-related tutorials, so to avoid copying-and-pasting (and wasting space here) we have described a few that happen to be used very often. You’ll need to refer to the relevant documentation if you want to read more about the PowerPC instruction set (see Links below).

== Function prologue and epilogue ==

When a C function executes, its code – seen from the assembler perspective – will contain two parts called the prologue (at the beginning of the function) and the epilogue (at the end of the function). The purpose of these parts is to save the return address so that the function knows where to jump after the subroutine is finished.

<pre>
stwu %r1,-16(%r1)
mflr %r0 # prologue, reserve 16 byte stack frame
stw %r0,20(%r1)

...

lwz %r0,20(%r1)
addi %r1,%r1,16 # epilogue, restore back
mtlr %r0
blr
</pre>

The prologue code generally opens a stack frame with a stwu instruction that increments register r1 and stores the old value at the first address of the new frame. The epilogue code just loads r1 with the old stack value.

C programmers needn’t worry at all about the prologue and epilogue because the compiler will add them to their functions automatically. When you write your programs in pure assembler you can skip the prologue and the epilogue if you don’t need to keep the return address.

Plus, a new stack frame doesn’t need to be allocated for functions that do not call any subroutine. By the way, the V.4-ABI (application binary interface) defines a specific layout of the stack frame and stipulates that it should be aligned to 16 bytes.

= Writing programs in assembler =

There are two ways to write assembler programs under AmigaOS:

; using libc
: all initializations are done by crtbegin.o/crtend.o and libc is attached to the binary

; the old way
: all initializations - opening libraries, interfaces etc. - have to be done manually in the code

The advantage of using libc is that you can run your code "out of the box" and that all you need to know is the correct offsets to the function pointers. On the minus side, the full library is attached to the binary, making it bigger. Sure, a size difference of ten or even a hundred kilobytes doesn’t play a big role these days – but here in this article we’re going down the old hacking way (that’s why we’re fiddling with assembler at all) so let’s call it a drawback.

The advantage of not using libc is that you gain full control of your program, you can only use the functions you need, and the resulting binary will be as small as possible (a fully working binary can have as little as 100 bytes in size). The drawback is that you have to initialize everything manually.

We’ll first discuss assembler programming with the use of libc.

== Assembler programming using libc ==

To illustrate how this works we’ll compile a Newlib-based binary (the default GCC setting) using the –g switch (“include debugging information”) and then put the [[GDB_for_Beginners|GDB]] debugger on the job:

<syntaxhighlight>
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
printf("aaaa");
exit(0);
}
</syntaxhighlight>

<pre>
6/0.RAM Disk:> gcc -gstabs -O2 2.c -o 2
2.c: In function 'main':
2.c:6: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit'

6/0.RAM Disk:> GDB -q 2
</pre>

<pre>
(GDB) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x7fcc7208: file 2.c, line 4.
(GDB) r
Starting program: /RAM Disk/2
BS 656d6ed8
Current action: 2

Breakpoint 1, main () at 2.c:4
4 {
(GDB) disas
Dump of assembler code for function main:
0x7fcc7208 <main+0>: stwu r1,-16(r1)
0x7fcc720c <main+4>: mflr r0
0x7fcc7210 <main+8>: lis r3,25875 ; that addr
0x7fcc7214 <main+12>: addi r3,r3,-16328 ; on our string
0x7fcc7218 <main+16>: stw r0,20(r1)
0x7fcc721c <main+20>: crclr 4*cr1+eq
0x7fcc7220 <main+24>: bl 0x7fcc7234 <printf>
0x7fcc7224 <main+28>: li r3,0
0x7fcc7228 <main+32>: bl 0x7fcc722c <exit>
End of assembler dump.
(GDB)
</pre>

Now we’ll use [[GDB_for_Beginners|GDB]] to disassemble the printf() and exit() functions from Newlib’s LibC.a. As mentioned above, Newlib is used by default, there’s no need to use the –mcrt switch unless we want clib2 instead (in which case we’d compile the source with “-mcrt=clib2”).

<pre>
(GDB) disas printf
Dump of assembler code for function printf:
0x7fcc723c <printf+0>: li r12,1200
0x7fcc7240 <printf+4>: b 0x7fcc7244 <__NewLibCall>
End of assembler dump.
(GDB)

(GDB) disas exit
Dump of assembler code for function exit:
0x7fcc7234 <exit+0>: li r12,1620
0x7fcc7238 <exit+4>: b 0x7fcc7244 <__NewLibCall>
End of assembler dump.
(GDB)
</pre>

You can see that register r12 contains some values depending on the function - they are function pointer offsets in Newlib’s interface structure (INewLib). Then there’s the actual jump to __NewLibCall, so let’s have a look at it:

<pre>
(GDB) disas __NewLibCall
Dump of assembler code for function __NewLibCall:
0x7fcc7244 <__NewLibCall+0>: lis r11,26006
0x7fcc7248 <__NewLibCall+4>: lwz r0,-25500(r11)
0x7fcc724c <__NewLibCall+8>: lwzx r11,r12,r0
0x7fcc7250 <__NewLibCall+12>: mtctr r11
0x7fcc7254 <__NewLibCall+16>: bctr
End of assembler dump.
(GDB)
</pre>

Of course you can use "objdump":

<pre>
6/0.RAM Disk:> objdump -d 1 | grep -A5 "<__NewLibCall>:"
</pre>

<pre>
01000280 <__NewLibCall>:
1000280: 3d 60 01 01 lis r11,257
1000284: 80 0b 00 24 lwz r0,36(r11)
1000288: 7d 6c 00 2e lwzx r11,r12,r0
100028c: 7d 69 03 a6 mtctr r11
1000290: 4e 80 04 20 bctr
</pre>

But using [[GDB_for_Beginners|GDB]] is more comfortable: you don’t need to scroll through the full objdump output, or search in it with grep, etc. You can, too, obtain assembler output by compiling the source with the –S switch but [[GDB_for_Beginners|GDB]] makes it possible to get as deep into the code as you wish (in fact down to the kernel level).

We will now remove the prologue (because we don’t need it in this case) and reorganize the code a bit:

<pre>
.globl main
main:
lis %r3,.msg@ha #
la %r3,.msg@l(%r3) # printf("aaaa");
bl printf #

li %r3,0 # exit(0);
bl exit #

.msg:
.string "aaaa"
</pre>

<pre>
6/0.RAM Disk:> as test.s -o test.o
6/0.RAM Disk:> ld -N -q test.o -o test /SDK/newlib/lib/crtbegin.o /SDK/newlib/lib/LibC.a /SDK/newlib/lib/crtend.o
6/0.RAM Disk:> strip test
6/0.RAM Disk:> filesize format=%s test
5360
6/0.RAM Disk:> test
aaaa
6/0.RAM Disk:>
</pre>

When we compile our Hello World program in C (with the -N switch and stripping, of course) it is 5504 bytes in size; our assembler code gives 5360 bytes. Nice, but let’s try to reduce it some more (even if we’ll still keep libc attached). Instead of branching to the functions themselves (“bl function”) we’ll use function pointer offsets and branch to __NewLibCall:

<pre>
.globl main
main:
#printf("aaaa")

lis %r3,.msg@ha # arg1 part1
la %r3,.msg@l(%r3) # arg1 part2
li %r12, 1200 # 1200 - pointer offset to function
b __NewLibCall

#exit(0)

li %r3, 0 # arg1
li %r12, 1620 # 1620 - pointer offset to function
b __NewLibCall

.msg:
.string "aaaa"
</pre>

<pre>
6/0.RAM Disk:> as test.s -o test.o
6/0.RAM Disk:> ld -N -q test.o -o test /SDK/newlib/lib/crtbegin.o /SDK/newlib/lib/LibC.a /SDK/newlib/lib/crtend.o
6/0.RAM Disk:> strip test
6/0.RAM Disk:> filesize format=%s test
5336
6/0.RAM Disk:> test
aaaa
6/0.RAM Disk:>
</pre>

The size is now 5336. We’ve saved 24 bytes, no big deal! Now let’s get real heavy and try to mimic __NewLibCall using our own code:

<pre>
.globl main
main:
lis %r3,.msg@ha #
la %r3,.msg@l(%r3) # printf("aaaa");
li %r12, 1200

lis %r11,26006
lwz %r0,-25500(%r11)
lwzx %r11,%r12,%r0 # __NewLibCall
mtctr %r11
bctr

li %r3, 0
li %r12, 1620 # exit

lis %r11,26006
lwz %r0,-25500(%r11)
lwzx %r11,%r12,%r0 # __NewLibCall
mtctr %r11
bctr

.msg:
.string "aaaa"
</pre>

It crashes but why? Because lis %r11,26006 and lwz %r0,-25500(%r11) load a pointer from 0x010100024. In the original __NewLibCall code this is a read access to the NewLib interface pointer. But as we already know, we cannot read from the absolute address 0x01010024 because it’s illegal, and the ELF loader must relocate this address to point to the real NewLib interface pointer (INewlib). We didn’t see that before because we used objdump without the "-r" switch (which shows relocations), so let’s use it now:

<pre>
7/0.RAM Disk:> objdump -dr 1 | grep -A7 "<__NewLibCall>:"
</pre>

<pre>
01000298 <__NewLibCall>:
1000298: 3d 60 01 01 lis r11,257
100029a: R_PPC_ADDR16_HA INewlib
100029c: 80 0b 00 24 lwz r0,36(r11)
100029e: R_PPC_ADDR16_LO INewlib
10002a0: 7d 6c 00 2e lwzx r11,r12,r0
10002a4: 7d 69 03 a6 mtctr r11
10002a8: 4e 80 04 20 bctr
</pre>

So we’ll rewrite our code using the normal interface pointer, and turn the __NewLibCall code into a macro:

<pre>
.macro OUR_NEWLibCALL
lis %r11,INewlib@ha
lwz %r0,INewlib@l(%r11)
lwzx %r11,%r12,%r0
mtctr %r11
bctr
.endm

.globl main
main:
lis %r3,.msg@ha
la %r3,.msg@l(%r3) # printf("aaaa");
li %r12, 1200

OUR_NEWLibCALL

li %r3, 0
li %r12, 1620 # exit(0);

OUR_NEWLibCALL

.msg:
.string "aaaa"
</pre>

Works now! Still, after stripping, the size is 5336 bytes but at least the code is fully in our hands and we can play with instructions. It’s time to read some good stuff like the Green Book (see Links below) if you want to do real beefy hacking.

By the way, when we debug our binary, you’ll notice that GCC has put a strangely-looking instruction right before the call to a libc function: crxor 6,6,6 (crclr 4*cr1+eq). This is done in compliance with the ABI specification, which says that before a variadic function is called, an extra instruction (crxor 6,6,6 or creqv 6,6,6) must be executed that sets Condition Register 6 (CR6) to either 1 or 0. The value depends on whether one or more arguments need to go to a floating-point register. If no arguments are being passed in floating-point registers, crxor 6,6,6 is added in order to set the Condition Register to 0. If you call a variadic function with floating-point arguments, the call will be preceded by a creqv 6,6,6 that sets Condition Register 6 to the value of 1.

You may ask where on Earth we got the numerical values (offsets) for the libc functions, i.e. “1200” representing printf() and “1620” representing exit(). For newlib.library, there is no documentation, header files or an interface description in the official AmigaOS SDK so you have to find it all out yourself. There are a couple of ways to do it:

# Write the program in C and obtain the numbers by disassembling the code (using [[GDB_for_Beginners|GDB]] or objdump). Not much fun but at least you can inspect what arguments are used and in which registers they are stored.
# If you only need the list of function offsets you can disassemble the LibC.a file using objdump:

<pre>
shell:> objdump -dr SDK:newlib/lib/LibC.a
</pre>

The library only contains stub functions, and output will look like the following:

<pre>
---- SNIP ----

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <realloc>:
0: 39 80 01 64 li r12,356
4: 48 00 00 00 b 4 <realloc+0x4>
4: R_PPC_REL24 __NewLibCall

stub_realpath.o: file format ELF32-AmigAOS

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <realpath>:
0: 39 80 0c 00 li r12,3072
4: 48 00 00 00 b 4 <realpath+0x4>
4: R_PPC_REL24 __NewLibCall

stub_recv.o: file format ELF32-AmigaOS

---- SNIP ----
</pre>

You can write a simple script that will parse the disassembly and give you the list in any form you wish.

== Assembler programming without libc ==

If you want to write programs without using the C standard library, your code should do what runtime objects would normally take care of: that is, initialize all the necessary system-related stuff. It is almost the same as on AmigaOS 3.x, only with some AmigaOS 4.x-specific parts. This is what you should do:

* obtain SysBase (pointer to exec.library)
* obtain the exec.library interface
* IExec->Obtain()
* open dos.library and its interface (if you want to use dos.library functions)
* IExec->GetInterface()
... your code ...
* IExec->DropInterface()
* IExec->CloseLibrary()
* IExec->Release()
* exit(0)

As of now, we can no longer use printf() because it’s a libc function - if we want to produce a really small binary, we cannot afford the luxury of attaching the entire libc to be able to use printf() only! Instead, we need to use the AmigaOS API: in this particular case, the Write() function from dos.library.

There is a Hello World example written by Frank Wille for his assembler 'vasm'; I’ll adapt it for the GNU assembler ('as') in order to make the article related to one compiler. (Both the original and the adapted version can be found in the archive that comes with the article):

<pre>
# ExecBase

CALLOS %r30,CloseLibrary

release_exec:
# IExec->Release()
CALLOS %r30,Release

# exit(0)
li %r3,0
mtlr %r31
lmw %r28,8(%r1)

blr

.rodata

dos_name:
.string "dos.library"
main_name:
.string "main"
hello_world:
.string "Hello World!"
hello_world_end:
</pre>

If you did assembler programming under AmigaOS 3.x, you can see that the logic is the same, just the assembler is different and some AmigaOS 4.x-specific bits and pieces (the interface-related stuff) have been added. Now let’s compile and link the source and then strip the binary to see how our “slimming diet” works:

<pre>
6/0.Work:> as hello.s -o hello.o
6/0.Work:> ld -q hello.o -o hello
6/0.Work:> strip hello
6/0.Work:> filesize format=%s hello
4624
</pre>

Right, so we got down to 4624 bytes. A little better when compared with the libc version (which was 5336 in size), but still too much for a Hello World program.

To obtain the numerical values that identify system functions, you need to study the interface description XML files that are provided in the AmigaOS SDK. For example, for exec.library functions you need to read the file “SDK:include/interfaces/exec.xml”. All interfaces contain a jump table. The offset for the first interface "method" is 60, the next one is 64 and so on. So you just open the appropriate interface description XML file, start counting from 60, and add +4 for any method that follows.

= Hacking it for real =

== Linker scripts (ldscripts) ==

Every time you perform linking to produce an executable, the linker uses a special script called ldscript (pass the “-verbose” argument to see which one is used by default). The script is written in the linker’s command language. The main purpose of the linker script is to describe how the sections in the input file(s) should be mapped into the output file, and to control the memory layout of the output file. Most linker scripts do nothing more that that, but – should you have the need – the script can also direct the linker to perform other operations, using the available set of commands in the command language. To provide your own, custom script to the linker, the "-T" switch is used. (By the way, the "-N" switch, mentioned earlier and used to make non-aligned executables, also affects the choice of the default linker script.)

What does all of that mean for us and how is it related to this article? Well, when you read the ldscripts documentation (see Links below), you can build your own ldscript that will only create the necessary sections. That is: we can produce a minimum working executable and thus get rid of parts that even 'strip' wouldn’t be able to remove.

So following the first-test example from the ldscript documentation, we’ll write our own script now:

<pre>
SECTIONS
{
. = 0x00000000;
.text : { *(.text) }
}
</pre>

But why did we put 0x00000000 here as the entry point of the code? Well as we discussed earlier, the address is just a placeholder so it has no real meaning under AmigaOS (the ELF loader will perform relocation and calculate the proper address). Nevertheless, the address value is used when the ELF binary is created, and it can make a difference as regards the executable size because of paging. So, let’s compile our non-libc assembler code and provide our custom linker script:

<pre>
shell:> as hello.s -o hello.o
shell:> ld -Tldscript -q -o hello hello.o
shell:> stat -c=%s hello
=66713
</pre>

OMG! 66 kilobytes! But that was quite expected, considering the entry point address we have provided. You can now play with the address value to see what difference in the executable size it makes. For example, if you try 0x11111111, the size of the binary is 5120 bytes; 0xAAAAAAAA will result in 44440 bytes. Apparently, this generally meaningless address does make a difference because it affects paging. So all we need to do is choose a value that will, hopefully, avoid any kind of paging. We can consult the ldscripts manual again and we’ll find this:

SIZEOF_HEADERS: Returns the size in bytes of the output file’s headers. You can use this number as the start address of the first section, to facilate paging.

This looks like the thing we need, so:

<pre>
SECTIONS
{
. = SIZEOF_HEADERS;
.text : { *(.text) }
}
</pre>

<pre>
shell:> as hello.s -o hello.o
shell:> ld -Tldscript -q -o hello hello.o
shell:> stat -c=%s hello
=1261

shell:> strip hello
shell:> stat -c=%s hello
=832

shell:> hello
Hello World!
shell:>
</pre>

832 bytes of size and works!

== Getting rid of relocation ==

Now, lets see what kind of sections our 832 bytes binary has:

<pre>
7/0.Work:> readelf -S hello
There are 7 section headers, starting at offset 0x198:

Section Headers:
[Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al
[ 0] NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0

I (info), L (link order), G (group), x (unknown)
O (extra OS processing required) o (OS specific), p (processor specific)

7/0.Work:>
</pre>

As you can see there are some sections that should be relocated:

# .rela.text - relocations for .text.
# .rodata - data (our strings like "helloworld", "dos.library", etc)

And the next three sections (.shstrtab, .symtab and .strtab) are stanadard in the AmigaOS implementation of ELF, as the AmigaOS ELF loader requires them. Usually the linker ('ld' or 'vlink', does not matter) would remove .symtab and .strtab, when the "-s" option is used at linking stage, but whilst that is true for UNIX, it's not true not for AmigaOS because the AmigaOS ELF loader needs the _start symbol to find the program entry point, so we can't delete those two sections. As for .shstrtab, we can't delete it either because we still need the sections (we will discuss why later).

So what about .rela.text and .rodata? Well, they can be removed by modifing our code a bit, to avoid any relocations (thanks to Frank again). We place the data to the .text section, together with the code. So the distance between the strings and the code is constant (kind of like base-relative addressing). With "bl initbase" we jump to the following instruction while the CPU places the address of this instruction into LR. This is the base address which we can use:

<pre>

6/0.Work:> hello

6/0.Work:>
</pre>

644 bytes of size, and still works. If we check the sections in the binary now, we'll see that currently it only contains the .text section and the three symbol-related sections that are required in AmigaOS binaries:

<pre>
6/0.Work:> readelf -S hello
There are 5 section headers, starting at offset 0x184:

== The ELF loader ==

If you want to understand the internals of the ELF format, the best book of reference is the ELF specification (see Links), where you can find everything about headers, sections, segments, section headers and so on. But of course it is only a specification and so it does not cover ELF loaders and parsers, which are implemented differenty on different operating systems. While the implementation does not vary too much among UNIXes, the ELF loader in AmigaOS is rather specific.

Let's briefly cover the parts an ELF executable contains:

* ELF Header
* Program (segments) header table
* Segments
* Sections header table
* optional sections (certain sections can sometimes come before the sections header table, like for example .shstrtab)

Although it may seem that sections and segments are the same thing, this is not the case. Sections are elements of the ELF file. When you load the file into memory, sections are joined to form segments. Segments are file elements too but they are loaded to memory and can be directly handled by the loader. So you can think of sections as segments, just you should know that segments are something that executes in memory, while sections is the material from which segments are built in memory.

This is what our 644-byte Hello World example looks like, with the various parts defined by the ELF specification highlighted in different colours:

[[File:HackingWayPart1-3.png|center]]

Every part of an ELF file (be it the ELF header, segments header, or any other part) has a different structure, described in depth in the ELF specification. For a better understanding, let‘s describe the ELF header (the first part in the image above, highlighted in dark green):

<pre>
db 0x7f, "ELF" ; magic
db 1,2,1 ; 32 bits, big endian, version 1
db 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ; os info

db 0,2 ; e_type (for executable=2)
db 0,0x14 ; 14h = powerpc.
db 0,0,0,1 ; version (always must be set to 1)
dd 0x10000054 ; entry point (on AmigaOS it makes no sense)
dd 0x00000034 ; program header table file offset in bytes
dd 0x00000184 ; section header table file offset in bytes
db 0,0,0,0 ; e_flag - processor specific flags
db 0,0x34 ; e_ehsize - size of ELF header in bytes

db 0,0x20 ; e_phentsize - size of one entry in bytes, of program header table (all the entries are the same size)
db 0,2 ; e_phnum - number of entires in the program header table.

db 0,0x28 ; e_shentsize - section headers size in bytes
db 0,5 ; e_shnum - number of entires in the section header table
db 0,2 ; e_eshstrndx - section header table index of the entry assosiated with the section name string table
</pre>

When you try to execute a program, the ELF loader first checks if it's a genuine ELF binary or not. Depending on the result, the loading of the executable is either allowed or denied. Once loaded in memory, code from the respective segments is executed. As I said before, the necessary fields are parsed differently on different operating systems. For example under Linux, the loader parses the ELF structure going into greater depth compared to the AmigaOS loader. Still there is some common ground; on both OSes you can, for instance, write anything you want to the "os info" field. On AmigaOS you can fully reuse more fields, and here is how the AmigaOS ELF loader parses the ELF headers:

<pre>
* magic (first 7 bytes): db 0x7f,"ELF", 0x01,0x02,0x01 (100% required)
* all the subsequent fields are not parsed at all and can contain any data, until the loader reaches the section header tables' file offset in bytes field (required)
* then again there can be any data, until e_phnum (the number of entires in the program header table, which is required as well)
* and then the next 8 bytes of info (4 fields) about section headers/sections are required
</pre>

Take a look at the image below, which shows an ELF header in which all unparsed bytes are marked by "A" letters. You can use these bytes for anything you want.

[[File:HackingWayPart1-4.png|center]]

But please bear in mind that doing so would breach the specification. The fact that it works now doesn't mean it will also work with the next version of the ELF loader, as the AmigaOS developers could use the currently unparsed fields for something meaningful in the future.

The ELF header is not the only place where you can insert (at least with the current version of the loader) your own data. After the ELF header there come program headers (i.e. headers that describe segments). In our particular case we have one program section header for the .text segment. And here comes the suprise: the AmigaOS ELF loader does not parse the program headers at all! Instead, the parsing is done in sections and section headers only. Apparently, the AmigaOS loader does something that on UNIXes is normally put in the ELF executable and the loader just gets data from it. But under AmigaOS this is not the case. Although the ELF binary produced by GCC is built correctly and according to specification, half of the sections and many fields are not used under AmigaOS.

So the programs section headers can fully be used for your own needs. We can remove section names completely (and give them, for example, an "empty" name by writing 0 string-offset in the sh_name field of each section header entry). But .shstrtab must still be kept, with a size of 1 byte. A NULL section header can be reused too (you can see that a NULL section header comes after the .shrstab section, so we have plenty of space). Check the file "bonus/unused_fields/hello" to see which areas can be reused (these are indicated by 0xAA bytes).

Now it‘s clear that we can manipulate sections (i.e. delete empty ones and those ignored by the ELF loader) and recalculate all the addresses in the necessary fields. To do that you will really need to dig into the ELF specification. For example, you can put the _start label to any suitable place (such as the ELF header, or right at the begining of an ignored field) and then just put the adjusted address in the .strtab section offset field. This way you can save 8 bytes, so the size of our binary is now 636 bytes. Then there is the .symtab section at the end of the file, which is 48 bytes long. We can put it right in the place of .shstrtab (34 bytes in our case) and in the following part of the NULL section header (so as to squeeze the remaining 14 bytes in). Just like this:

[[File:HackingWayPart1-5.png|center]]

As a result, the size of our binary becomes mere 588 bytes, and the executable still works of course. Tools like 'readelf' will surely be puzzled by such custom-hacked ELF files, but we only need to worry about what the ELF loader thinks about them. If the loader is happy, the binary is working and the code is executed in memory.

In the bonus directory that comes with this article, you can try out an example binary the altered structure of which is depicted by the image above. In the binary, .strtab (the _start symbol) is moved to the program section header, and .symtab is moved on top of .shstrtab + the NULL section header (see directory "bonus/shift_sections").

= Final Words =

The article, of course, aims at encouraging learning. If you are an application programmer, you'll probably never need to use assembler directly or construct ELFs from scratch byte per byte. But the knowledge of how things work at low level can help you understand and resolve many problems that may turn up from time to time and that are related to compilers, linkers and assembler-code parts. Also, it can give you a better overview of the AmigaOS internals so when you start a project, it will be much easier for you to get rid of problems: without asking questions in the forums and losing hours fiddling with the basics.

Ray Sbaitso: /* Help wanted */

== Documentation for Editors ==

This section contains information and guidance for wiki editors.

== Help wanted ==

This wiki is a semi-private wiki which only allows approved editors to make changes. If you would like to become a wiki editor, please contact us at the [https://www.amigaos.net/content/129/contact-us AmigaOS Web Site]. Everyone has their own areas of expertise. Do not be shy about helping out even if you believe your contribution would be minor.

== What to work on first? ==

There are probably thousands of places to start editing and creating more content on this wiki. Editors can use any approach they are comfortable with. However, we suggest you use a more focused approach and start in a more or less contained area.

The most important thing to change first is what programmers have questions about. If you see a question in a web forum about some aspect of the an AmigaOS system that is a perfect place to start. For example, if a programmer is having trouble figuring out how to create a GUI based on Window Class then add a section about Window Class. It doesn't have to be 100% complete either. Others can expand on what you start with. The most important thing is that you started.

But don't repeat yourself. If something is already written in the autodocs or include files try to refer to them. Don't just copy and paste what is already written in an autodoc. The wiki should be used to describe how to put all the various function calls together into a useful program. It should not just describe the functions-that is what autodocs are for.

== What not to work on ==

What is not needed are collections of links to 3rd party web forums, libraries and tools. Such lists may seem useful but they become out of date very quickly and are difficult to maintain.

The wiki may include information about 3rd party contributions to AmigaOS like DvPlayer or IBrowse.

== Spelling and grammar ==

If you see a spelling or grammar error then fix it. The last thing we need is editors wasting time emailing each other about how bad their spelling and/or grammar is. Small typos should be fixed immediately before you forget about them. Be good community members and help each other out with such errors. Not everyone is an English expert and many of our editors are not native English speakers.

== Written permission ==

Material for this wiki may come from various sources such as the AmigaOS development team or third party sources. It is always important that written permission is obtained from the author(s) before material is used.

It is equally important that written permission be obtained to modify all submitted material on this wiki. AmigaOS will continue to evolve and thus so will any of the material on the wiki.

== AmigaOS naming ==

In the past, version 4.x of the Amiga operating system has been known by many names including OS4, AmigaOS4, etc. For consistency, editors should always label the OS as "AmigaOS" only. Everything on this wiki is assumed to apply to version 4.x of AmigaOS or higher. When it is important to distinguish between versions of the operating system, add an explicit version number or range like so: "AmigaOS 3.1" or "AmigaOS 4.x". Note there is a space after the "AmigaOS" label in all cases.

== AmigaOS component naming ==

There are a lot of AmigaOS components in the system. Some are resident in other components while others are contained in their own individual files. It is important to keep the name of the component separate from its logical manifestation. For example, "Intuition Library" is how we refer to the manifestation which is actually in the intuition.library.kmod file.

Depending on the context, you may need to refer to the actual file names. Which file contains the utility.library is very important when working on an installer for example. The utility.library is actually contained in the kernel.kmod file. However, when we are referring to the library in the general documentation it is referred to as the Utility Library.

Mixing of the component names and the component's logical manifestation should be generally avoided.

== Information prior to AmigaOS 4.0 ==

The focus of this wiki is AmigaOS 4.0 and higher. Material which exclusively pertains to prior versions of the AmigaOS should be removed. For example, there exists text which describe the 3D look of buttons, etc. as "new" which is clearly no longer the case. Such sections should be reworded or even removed entirely because in 4.0 the 3D look is assumed to be present.

== References to AmigaOS clones ==

This wiki is intended to cover the official AmigaOS only. Any references to clone systems should be removed. However, sometimes a clone system may have a well established defacto standard (e.g. TD64) which is also supported by AmigaOS. In those cases, it may make sense to describe the defacto standard in terms of a clone system.

== Code Beautification ==

Source code examples can be beautified (pretty printed) using [http://qbnz.com/highlighter/ GeSHi]. The default language is assumed to be C. See [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi SyntaxHighlight GeSHi] for more information on how to use this extension.

=== C Example ===

}
</syntaxhighlight>
</pre>

produces

Ray Sbaitso: /* Welcome to AmigaOS */

== Welcome to AmigaOS ==

AmigaOS was born in 1985 and delivered what contemporary personal computer operating systems could only dream of. As the first "multimedia" operating system, it was trivial for AmigaOS computers to display animations while playing music and reading data from disks. Such multimedia and multitasking finesse drew many people to this system. Some of them are famous: [https://www.warhol.org/exhibition/warhol-and-the-amiga/ Andy Warhol], Sir Arthur C. Clarke, [http://www.polyphoto.com/upchug/AEcastro.html NASA], Hollywood and the TV broadcasting industry, and many others that thought [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWeO5IkCssk only Amiga makes it possible].

Today many people still think AmigaOS has something special that makes it more interesting and rewarding than other systems. This system allows the user to control the computer, not the other way around. It is a system you fully understand that is easier and more flexible to use. In other words, AmigaOS is '''more fun'''.

=== AmigaOS: The flexible operating system ===
AmigaOS is an operating system: a collection of efficient programs written to start the computer, let the user control the computer, and present feedback to the user.

AmigaOS is designed with ease of use and flexibility in mind. To begin with, AmigaOS provides a clear view of your computer, your applications and files. A number of methods are available to let your computer serve you, whether graphically with a mouse, using the "Shell" command line, or by some other means the user prefers.

AmigaOS strives to avoid stupid limitations that can be found on other systems. AmigaOS users can organise their files the way they like. There are few limits on file hierarchy, locations and file names. Drives don't have to be named with a letter or cryptic names (such as C:, or sda1), your files don't have to reside in your "Documents" folder and your hard drives aren't hidden from you. If you're not writing to drives and you want to "shut down", why wait for the OS to allow that? With AmigaOS, just hit the power switch. Done.

An Amiga does not start with pre-installed applications serving some sales conglomerate, marketing organization or their big brother. AmigaOS does not do actions behind the user's back. As unique as it is today, the AmigaOS computer serves the user and not the other way around. With one of the largest proportions of user-programmers around, the trustworthy AmigaOS user-friendly ethic is mirrored in AmigaOS applications.

Since the first versions more than twenty-five years ago, AmigaOS has also been designed to serve efficiently. Optimizing applications and OS code has always been the goal of programmers and developers of this operating system. The result is an operating system and applications that take less space on your hard drives, waste less time loading, consume less memory, require less processing power, and respond more quickly to the user.

And every update of AmigaOS doesn't demand you must buy newer, more powerful hardware. AmigaOS currently runs on twenty year old 200MHz computers or brand new dual core 1,800MHz computers. It's the user's choice how they want to '''enjoy''' AmigaOS.

=== Some AmigaOS features ===
Here are some of the features of AmigaOS that make it easy to control your computer. Some of these concepts were copied by other operating systems which tend to show they are the correct way of doing things.

* '''Small footprint:''' AmigaOS can work with 64 MB of memory. On disk, a default installation only takes around 200 MB. The smaller footprint translates into a more responsive user experience given any hardware.

* '''Straightforward operating system design:''' With a clear layout and easy to understand names (Classes, Libs, Fonts, Prefs, Storage, etc.), you can easily understand what everything in AmigaOS is and what it does for you. Nothing is hidden from the user and the user is not restricted by AmigaOS.

*'''User configurable graphic interface:''' Using the provided "preferences editors," the user can dramatically reconfigure how AmigaOS looks, sounds, runs and responds to every user whim.

* '''File recognition based on file content:''' You can name a file '''whatever you want''', even without an extension. Examples: "my file" or "picture of Jay in Santa Clara". There is no need to add an extension to explain what the file is, like ".txt" or ".jpg". AmigaOS really examines the '''file content''' to recognise what type of file it is.

* '''Logical assignments:''' Easily set and use logical names names for directories located anywhere on your system. For example, "Auto:" can point to your directory "car show pictures" buried on your media drive.

* '''Ram disk concept:''' On AmigaOS there is a special disk called the '''Ram disk''' which represents a part of your computer memory. This area is not fixed. It automatically grows whenever you store files in it. For example, it's a great place to unpack files to install from there, greatly speeding up the installation.

* '''Command line and graphical user interfaces:''' Both the the graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface (where you type commands into a window with the keyboard) can be used to manage AmigaOS, its programs and files. Both interfaces are intergated with each other so you can easily use command lines from the GUI or open graphical elements from a command line.

*'''ARexx Ports:''' Throughout AmigaOS and third party programs, "ARexx" message ports let one application talk with others so that apps work together to serve the user. AmigaOS also provides the lightweight ARexx and modern Python programming languages that can control AmigaOS and applications with ARexx ports.

* '''Resident Commands:''' Commands can be made resident, i.e., they are kept in memory so that they can be reused with no loading time.

* '''Restart only the operating system:''' if you feel the need to restart the system, you can do so by restarting '''only AmigaOS''' and not the whole computer.

=== AmigaOS platform targets ===

While the original versions of AmigaOS ran on computers of the eighties using Motorola 68k series CPU chips, the current AmigaOS runs on computers using PowerPC processor chips [http://www.amigaos.net/content/72/supported-hardware hardware]. These can be older Amiga computers (also called "Classic Amigas") with PPC "accelerator cards" or new generation Amiga PPC computers.

In this guide, we will concentrate on the current AmigaOS running on the [[AmigaOS_Platforms|supported hardware]].

Ray Sbaitso: /* twittAmiga */

AmigaOS maintains it's connectivity to an increasingly Internet connected world through a series of applications. The following list highlights some of those Internet related applications users can utilize.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AAMP (Apache, MySql, PHP) ==

[[File:Aamp1.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]
[[File:Aamp2.png|300px|thumb|center|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

This package provides a developer environment to create your web projects on your Amiga. Just like the well known LAMP package for Linux, it includehttp://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/filetool/dopus5.lhas the HTTP (web) server "Apache" with compiled in support for the scripting language "PHP" and the database server "MySQL".

AAMP is not only interesting for web developers. Now you can run web applications locally on your Amiga, for example the database administration tool "phpMyAdmin" (http://www.phpmyadmin.net) or the picture database "Coppermine" (http://coppermine-gallery.net) - just to mention a few.

With the included interpreter for "PHP" you can also create your own tools. "PHP" is easy to understand and with it's extensions it is very powerful.

Finally the database server "MySQL" gives you the opportunity to manage your data and share it with other users. External applications (e.g. IODBC) can use it as a database backend.

== All in One Streams ==

[[File:aiostreams1.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: All In One Streams author]]
[[File:aiostreams2.jpg|300px|thumb|center|Image Source: All In One Streams author]]

All In One streams (aiostreams) is a pack of scripts, written in Python, that can be used to stream and watch videos from different online networks, like Twitch.tv and Mixer.com.

These can be used from the shell, as well as from any web browser that support execution of scripts. It is really easy to configure a link context menu and open the URL with the script. And if "Autoplay" is enabled, then the video will start automatically.

Some of these networks support search, where you can find available streams and videos.

The scripts are based on Python v2.5, so this is absolutely necessary to be installed at your system.

eNewsReader is a ground-breaking program for AmigaOS, which allows you to easily keep track of tens (or even hundreds!) of news sources. You no-longer need to visit many websites every day or week, on the off-chance there might be something new. And by centralizing all your news sources in one place, you will save masses of time, so it's great for people with busy lives. Not only does it keep track of which news items you have read, but it keeps track of items you have seen.

Features:

* Supports Facebook & Twitter, as well as the more traditional RSS & Atom feeds.
* Uses a custom transactional database to efficiently store & retrieve huge amounts of news items.
* Easily see the news items of a single feed, or several feeds at once (or even all of them).
* Organize your feeds by tagging them, and then choose to see only those feeds (and their news items) that have certain tags.
* Individual news feeds can be filtered, hiding news items whose titles contain certain words or phrases.
* Detects & stores updated news items, so you can see the latest version of a news item, as well as the older versions you previously downloaded.
* Search for news items whose titles contain certain words or phrases.
* Written entirely using the PortablE programming language, hence the "e" in eNewsReader.

== IBrowse ==

IBrowse 2.4 is included with AmigaOS, however IBrowse 2.5 is now available. IBrowse is a fast, stable, classic web browser helping you surf the net with your AMIGA®. Features include HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 browsing, TLSv1.3 secure connections, FTP downloads, comprehensive JavaScript 1.6 engine, tabbed browsers (pioneered by IBrowse), a customizable GUI layout, many other customizable features and support for proprietary extensions from other browsers. IBrowse is compatible with AmigaOS® 3.x, 3.1.4, and 4.1FE.

IBrowse 2.5 fixes many bugs, making it the most stable and fastest version yet, but more importantly brings modern SSL/TLS support and a fully native AmigaOS 4.x build. Below is a very brief summary of the key changes since version 2.4:

* Brand new OS4 PPC native version. This is not a simple port, but we have taken great care to ensure it fully utilises of all the relevant new features avaiable in OS4 and as such requires a minimum of OS4.1 Final Edition. Uses the new graphics.library RTG system, dropping CyberGraphX support completely. Other features include faster image rendering using hardware compositing, anti-aliased text rendering and proper daylight saving time handling.
* Support for AmiSSLv4 has been added to IBrowse 2.5, allowing the use of the most up to date SSL implementation available for AmigaOS, including TLSv1.3, based on the most recent versions of OpenSSL.
* Integrated with new MUI 4.0 and 5.0 features, including new context sensitive mouse pointers, support for various built-in MUI menus and other new GUI additions. MUI 3.8 is still supported (although we recommend 3.9 as a minimum).
* Browser spoofing strings can now be customised in a variety of different ways with up to 128 user defined strings available in the preferences.
* All the internal image decoders have been improved, with various fixes, alpha channel handling, and speed optimisations. The JPEG and PNG decoders now fully utilise the decoding improvements and optimisations from the current Warp Datatypes, which also includes AltiVec acceleration in the JPEG decoder.
* Full alpha channel support on >= 15-bit displays (OS4 only).
* 4Gb+ file handling and downloads, with files bigger than 2Gb now being handled properly in the GUI (OS4 only).
* The OpenSearch standard is now supported for allowing search engines to automatically be added to the search bar, in addition to the existing older Sherlock/Mycroft support from IBrowse 2.4.
* TextEditField object has had an overhaul, fixing various issues and adding new features. Rendering is done in a more MUI4/5 compatible manner allowing these objects to inherit your MUI settings. Your mousewheel can now be used for scrolling and various MUI defined keyboard shortcuts are now honoured.
* Improved general stability and memory leaks plugged.
* Hundreds of other minor and major bug fixes + improvements, and increased tolerance of broken sites for better compatibility.

AmigaOS Apps Productivity & Utilities

2020-10-25T20:23:04Z

Ray Sbaitso: /* Cinnamon Writer */

AmigaOS offers a wide range of productivity and utilitiy applications to help maximize user experience as well as the ability to highly customize the operating system. The following list highlights just a few of the applications available to assist users in getting the most out of their system.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AbiWord ==

[[File:Abiword.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AbiWord is a professional word processor and part of the Gnome Office Suite. It supports a wide range of file formats such as Word, Open Office and Word Perfect, automatic spell checking, tables, headers, footnotes and more.

Abiword requires the installation of AmiCygnix and can be downloaded from the AmiCygnix webpage.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiCygnix ==

[[File:Amicygnix-base.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiSystemRestore ==

[[File:amisystemrestore.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs.
A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time.
Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).

Thanks to everyone involved with DevCon from 2012 through the present. Without the efforts of many members of the Amiga community, the volunteers who donate their time and energy and the sponsors who help make the shows possible this valuable development resource would not be available. Special thanks to Brian Deneen, Steven Solie, Robert Bernardo, Bill Borsari and many others who assist in ways both large and small.

AmigaOS Apps Internet

2020-09-04T23:03:48Z

Ray Sbaitso: /* Timberwolf */

AmigaOS maintains it's connectivity to an increasingly Internet connected world through a series of applications. The following list highlights some of those Internet related applications users can utilize.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AAMP (Apache, MySql, PHP) ==

[[File:Aamp1.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]
[[File:Aamp2.png|300px|thumb|center|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

This package provides a developer environment to create your web projects on your Amiga. Just like the well known LAMP package for Linux, it includehttp://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/filetool/dopus5.lhas the HTTP (web) server "Apache" with compiled in support for the scripting language "PHP" and the database server "MySQL".

AAMP is not only interesting for web developers. Now you can run web applications locally on your Amiga, for example the database administration tool "phpMyAdmin" (http://www.phpmyadmin.net) or the picture database "Coppermine" (http://coppermine-gallery.net) - just to mention a few.

With the included interpreter for "PHP" you can also create your own tools. "PHP" is easy to understand and with it's extensions it is very powerful.

Finally the database server "MySQL" gives you the opportunity to manage your data and share it with other users. External applications (e.g. IODBC) can use it as a database backend.

== All in One Streams ==

[[File:aiostreams1.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: All In One Streams author]]
[[File:aiostreams2.jpg|300px|thumb|center|Image Source: All In One Streams author]]

All In One streams (aiostreams) is a pack of scripts, written in Python, that can be used to stream and watch videos from different online networks, like Twitch.tv and Mixer.com.

These can be used from the shell, as well as from any web browser that support execution of scripts. It is really easy to configure a link context menu and open the URL with the script. And if "Autoplay" is enabled, then the video will start automatically.

Some of these networks support search, where you can find available streams and videos.

The scripts are based on Python v2.5, so this is absolutely necessary to be installed at your system.

== Ami-Express BBS ==

Ami-Express was a BBS System that was originally developed by Lightspeed Technologies in the 1990s. This is a rewrite of that system written in Amiga E. It is open source and has new features and bug fixes in addition to aiming for near 100% backwards compatibility with the version 4.x releases. The documentation for AmiExpress has also been updated as many existing features were not properly documented.

Some of the new features that have been added include:

[[File:enewsreader 1.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: eNewsReader webpage]]

eNewsReader is a ground-breaking program for AmigaOS, which allows you to easily keep track of tens (or even hundreds!) of news sources. You no-longer need to visit many websites every day or week, on the off-chance there might be something new. And by centralizing all your news sources in one place, you will save masses of time, so it's great for people with busy lives. Not only does it keep track of which news items you have read, but it keeps track of items you have seen.

Features:

* Supports Facebook & Twitter, as well as the more traditional RSS & Atom feeds.
* Uses a custom transactional database to efficiently store & retrieve huge amounts of news items.
* Easily see the news items of a single feed, or several feeds at once (or even all of them).
* Organize your feeds by tagging them, and then choose to see only those feeds (and their news items) that have certain tags.
* Individual news feeds can be filtered, hiding news items whose titles contain certain words or phrases.
* Detects & stores updated news items, so you can see the latest version of a news item, as well as the older versions you previously downloaded.
* Search for news items whose titles contain certain words or phrases.
* Written entirely using the PortablE programming language, hence the "e" in eNewsReader.

== IBrowse ==

IBrowse 2.4 is included with AmigaOS, however IBrowse 2.5 is now available. IBrowse is a fast, stable, classic web browser helping you surf the net with your AMIGA®. Features include HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 browsing, TLSv1.3 secure connections, FTP downloads, comprehensive JavaScript 1.6 engine, tabbed browsers (pioneered by IBrowse), a customizable GUI layout, many other customizable features and support for proprietary extensions from other browsers. IBrowse is compatible with AmigaOS® 3.x, 3.1.4, and 4.1FE.

IBrowse 2.5 fixes many bugs, making it the most stable and fastest version yet, but more importantly brings modern SSL/TLS support and a fully native AmigaOS 4.x build. Below is a very brief summary of the key changes since version 2.4:

* Brand new OS4 PPC native version. This is not a simple port, but we have taken great care to ensure it fully utilises of all the relevant new features avaiable in OS4 and as such requires a minimum of OS4.1 Final Edition. Uses the new graphics.library RTG system, dropping CyberGraphX support completely. Other features include faster image rendering using hardware compositing, anti-aliased text rendering and proper daylight saving time handling.
* Support for AmiSSLv4 has been added to IBrowse 2.5, allowing the use of the most up to date SSL implementation available for AmigaOS, including TLSv1.3, based on the most recent versions of OpenSSL.
* Integrated with new MUI 4.0 and 5.0 features, including new context sensitive mouse pointers, support for various built-in MUI menus and other new GUI additions. MUI 3.8 is still supported (although we recommend 3.9 as a minimum).
* Browser spoofing strings can now be customised in a variety of different ways with up to 128 user defined strings available in the preferences.
* All the internal image decoders have been improved, with various fixes, alpha channel handling, and speed optimisations. The JPEG and PNG decoders now fully utilise the decoding improvements and optimisations from the current Warp Datatypes, which also includes AltiVec acceleration in the JPEG decoder.
* Full alpha channel support on >= 15-bit displays (OS4 only).
* 4Gb+ file handling and downloads, with files bigger than 2Gb now being handled properly in the GUI (OS4 only).
* The OpenSearch standard is now supported for allowing search engines to automatically be added to the search bar, in addition to the existing older Sherlock/Mycroft support from IBrowse 2.4.
* TextEditField object has had an overhaul, fixing various issues and adding new features. Rendering is done in a more MUI4/5 compatible manner allowing these objects to inherit your MUI settings. Your mousewheel can now be used for scrolling and various MUI defined keyboard shortcuts are now honoured.
* Improved general stability and memory leaks plugged.
* Hundreds of other minor and major bug fixes + improvements, and increased tolerance of broken sites for better compatibility.

AmiWest Setup

2020-08-08T19:05:49Z

Ray Sbaitso:

= Setup =

Developing software on and for AmigaOS involves three major components: the '''AmigaOS SDK''' or "Software Development Kit", a source code '''Editor''' and your '''imagination'''.

The first part of this equation, the AmigaOS Software Development Kit or '''AmigaOS SDK''', is a collection of files and tools that will convert your source code into an Amiga application. The SDK consists of a collection of the latest documentation, "include" files, example code, utilities and the GCC compiler. With each major version of AmigaOS a new SDK is issued that allows developers and their applications take advantage of the latest OS features.

The second part of the equation is a means to edit and manage your programming project and its source code. While you can edit source code in the AmigaOS '''NotePad''' text editor, there are much better & easier ways. The most powerful programming environment on AmigaOS is called [http://codebench.co.uk/ CodeBench]. In addition to providing a source code editor that provide syntax highlighting, help as you type and context sensitive help, CodeBench takes care of building "makefiles", runs the compiler, collects & presents errors and can interact to remote source code servers.

Finally there is '''you'''! Obviously, developing AmigaOS applications with the SDK requires a working understanding of the C language. To take advantage of the specific powers of AmigaOS, there are more methodologies and functions to learn. The SDK provides a number of example programs to learn from and a bounty of "autodocs" that document AmigaOS functions. Every day there are new things to learn.

== Installing the SDK ==

The latest version of the SDK can be downloaded from the Hyperion Entertainment [http://www.hyperion-entertainment.biz/index.php?option=com_registration&view=files&parent=30&Itemid=63 SDK webpage].

Once downloaded, you can double-click on the SDK archive file to use the AmigaOS '''Unarc''' utility to decompress the SDK to your RAM Disk. This will create a directory that includes all the SDK files to be installed.

In that directory you will find the '''Install SDK''' installer program. If you run that, it will ask you what you want to install and for a location to install to. Unless you have a severe limitation on hard disk space, it's recommended you make a "Full" install. As part of the install process, a few commands will be added to your "user-startup" script to assign SDK: to your system.

Once the SDK installation is complete, your SDK: path will include the following directories:

* '''Documentation''' - This drawer contains various documentation, AutoDocs, and other information related to the SDK. It also contains documentation on the various tools and compilers.

* '''Examples''' - This drawer contains example source code on how to program for AmigaOS 4.x. Examples are sorted by theme/topic.

* '''Local''' - The Local drawer is our means of isolating the compilers and third-party additions. See SDK documentation PDF file for more information on the Local drawer.

* '''gcc''' - The gcc drawer contains the GNU C/C++ compiler. It is set up in a way that there are no user-serviceable parts inside. This makes it easy to exchange the compiler when later versions become available.

* '''Include''' - This drawer contains system-level include files. Like the gcc drawer, it should not need to be modified.

* '''Contrib''' - The Contrib drawer contains various files that where contributed to the SDK. Among other things, it contains the latest source code for the static C runtime library clib2.

You can test the installation of SDK and its GCC compiler by opening a shell and typing the following command:

gcc --version

This should cause a text to be printed by the compiler, including the version number.

== Testing the SDK ==

Open the '''NotePad''' text editor and type the following text:

<syntaxhighlight>
#include <proto/dos.h>

int main(void)
{
IDOS->Printf("Hello, World\n");
return 0;
}
</syntaxhighlight>

Then save the file to "hello_world.c" and go back to the shell, CD to the directory with your file and enter this command:

gcc -o hello_world hello_world.c

After a few seconds, the gcc compiler should return. As long the source was correctly entered and no errors or warnings were displayed by GCC, then you will have successfully compiled your first Amiga program. Just type "hello_world" into the command line to see it run. Congratulations!

== Installing CodeBench ==

You may have used the '''NotePad''' text editor and your Shell console to create the sample C program above, but there are much better ways to edit and compile C programs. Such development systems provide more specialized editors suited for coding and means for managing compilation, handling warnings and errors, etc.

On AmigaOS we have '''CodeBench''' to improve and automate our coding sessions. CodeBench provides a text editor with "syntax highlighting" which means that it color-codes text on the basis of what it is: comments, commands, strings, etc. CodeBench also provides a GUI for GCC - click a button to compile, review the results in a window. There are even more features for more serious projects.

CodeBench can be downloaded from the [http://codebench.co.uk/downloads.php website] of the developer, SImon Archer. Once downloaded, you can double-click on the archive to open it in the AmigaOS '''Unarc''' utility and decompress the files to your RAM Disk. Once finished, you will find an "Install CodeBench" installer program icon. When you run the installer, it will confirm whether you are upgrading or making a new install and ask you for a location.

Once this process is done, you're ready to start a project in CodeBench. CodeBench comes with comprehensive documentation on itself in web format (that can also be accessed [http://codebench.co.uk/docs/codebench.html here]).

== Testing CodeBench: Hello World ==

The first thing you can do with CodeBench is to start a test project to how things work. At [http://codebench.co.uk/docs/started.html this page] you can find information on on starting a project. Basically, it's a matter of clicking the Start Project button, setting a few names and variables and entering a path for your project.

Once the new project is established, then you can use the "Editor/Create New File..." menu item to start a new source file. If you copy the above "Hello World" source code and paste it into the editor and save the source as "hello-world.c" then you will be ready for compiling.

In the CodeBench tool bar window, click the green "Build" button and CodeBench will automatically prepare, compile and link your project into an executable program.
A Build window will appear that will show the status of the building of your project. Assuming your code compiles without errors, you will then see a Run button with a play icon in the CodeBench toolbar. Clicking that button will bring up a window to let you run your program.

== Testing CodeBench: Hello with a GUI ==

Once you start coding with CodeBench, you will find it provides a number of aids to help with coding: such as highlighting or coloring the source code by type, letting you work with a number of sources at one time, letting you access AmigaOS documents by shift-double-clicking on AmigaOS functions and providing a quick way to track compiling errors into the source code.

With CodeBench you can easily jump into more advanced coding, such as our old "Hello World" program with a modern GUI. Just copy and paste the following source into a new project and try to compile it:

<syntaxhighlight>
#include <dos/dos.h>
#include <classes/window.h>
#include <gadgets/button.h>
#include <gadgets/layout.h>
#include <images/label.h>

#include <proto/intuition.h>
#include <proto/exec.h>

int main(void)
{
// Create a window with a label and button.

Object* winobj = IIntuition->NewObject(NULL, "window.class",
WA_Title, "Hello World Example",
WA_Activate, TRUE,
WA_DepthGadget, TRUE,
WA_DragBar, TRUE,
WA_CloseGadget, TRUE,
WA_SizeGadget, TRUE,
WINDOW_Position, WPOS_CENTERMOUSE,

WINDOW_Layout, IIntuition->NewObject(NULL, "layout.gadget",
LAYOUT_Orientation, LAYOUT_ORIENT_VERT,

AmiWest 2016 DevCon

2020-08-08T18:59:28Z

Ray Sbaitso:

= Getting Ready =

It all starts with downloading and installing the AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition SDK. See [[AmiWest Setup]] for complete details on how to get ready.

= Syllabus =
We are aiming to cover the following topics:

* A detailed tour of AmigaOS 4 with tutorials. We will be going through the Amiga Future programming articles by Michael Christoph. If you'd like to get a jump on them see the [[Tutorials:Main#Amiga_Future_Programming_Articles|Amiga Future Programming Articles]].

* The anatomy of an Amiga disk device driver. We will be [[Anatomy of a SATA Device Driver|dissecting the p5020sata.device]] which is a SATA device driver used in the upcoming AmigaOne X5000. This isn't just any custom made driver. It is melding between [https://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/libata/ Linux libata] and the traditional [[Trackdisk_Device|AmigaOS trackdisk device]] drivers.

* Hans de Ruiter will be presenting his tutorials on Warp3D Nova. For anyone that wants to program for Warp3D Nova be sure to obtain/borrow/steal a card for the DevCon. See the [http://wiki.amiga.org/index.php?title=Warp3D_Nova Warp3D Nova wiki] for assistance on choosing a card.

* Personal Projects. You are encouraged to bring your own personal projects to the DevCon where we, as a group, may be able to help you out.

The DevCon will also be tailored to the group. If something is not interesting we can skip it and move on to something that is interesting. Class participation and feedback during the DevCon is strongly encouraged.

= Schedule =

Here is the tentative schedule for the Dev Con.

== October 5 (Wednesday) ==

Set up your AmigaOS systems and test them out. This is the time to troubleshoot any equipment or Internet access issues.

== October 6 (Thursday) ==

We will start at 09:30 so please be there for 09:00. We'll have a lunch break around noon. We will stop when we run out of energy.

AmigaOS Apps Productivity & Utilities

2020-08-01T19:43:26Z

Ray Sbaitso:

AmigaOS offers a wide range of productivity and utilitiy applications to help maximize user experience as well as the ability to highly customize the operating system. The following list highlights just a few of the applications available to assist users in getting the most out of their system.

=== Disclaimer ===
The following list of applications are neither endorsed by nor supported by Hyperion Entertainment. This list is strictly informational only.

== AbiWord ==

[[File:Abiword.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AbiWord is a professional word processor and part of the Gnome Office Suite. It supports a wide range of file formats such as Word, Open Office and Word Perfect, automatic spell checking, tables, headers, footnotes and more.

Abiword requires the installation of AmiCygnix and can be downloaded from the AmiCygnix webpage.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiCygnix ==

[[File:Amicygnix-base.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmiCygnix webpage]]

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

[http://www.amicygnix.de/ AmiCygnix webpage]

== AmiSystemRestore ==

[[File:amisystemrestore.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs.
A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time.
Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).

== Annotate ==

[[File:Annotate.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OnyxSoft webpage]]

A comprehensive text editor written for AmigaOS.

Current features include:

* Syntax Highlighting
* Multi-unit clipboard support
* Unlimited Undo/Redo
* Macros
* Vertical block selection
* Left-right shifting of text and blocks
* Multi-functional scroll bar
* Printing
* Folding
* Text locking
* Tools menu
* Full-featured Arexx Port

Author: Doug Bakewell
Maintainer and successor: Daniel Westerberg

Annotate has been released under the GNU GPL by request of the original
author Doug Bakewell.

[http://www.onyxsoft.se/annotate.html Annotate from OnyxSoft webpage]

== Aorganiser ==

[[File:Aorganzier.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OS4Depot webpage]]

This is the latest release of a simple to use Diary program. It was originally conceived as an AmigaOS4 replacement for the Digital Organiser but is not intended to be a direct clone of that program. It has a GUI styled on a traditional paper diary and also an Arexx interface.

[http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=office/misc/aorganiser.lha Aorganiser OS4Depot webpage]

== BackUP ==

[[File:Backup.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: OnyxSoft webpage]]

This is a simple backup tool, nothing fancy. It simply copies files from one directory to another. Of course it only copies files that are different in some way, like size or date etc.

Current features include:

* Easy to use GUI.
* Ability to backup from one directory to another directory.
* Quick and copies only what needs to be copied.
* Copies files and directories as they are, does not store in some custom backup format.
* Can be used from the boot shell without any libraries installed.
* Copy softlinks as softlinks by recreating the softlinks on the target.
* Copy softlinks by following the links and copy the files and directories.
* Ignore all links completely, including hardlinks.
* Specify sub-directories that should be excluded from the backup.
* Specify large individual files (over 512kB) that should be excluded from the backup.
* Clean the backup from old, previously backed up files that have been removed from the source.
* Can be aborted or paused.
* Can be executed from scripts including all features normally controlled through the GUI.
* Can backup based only on the archive protection bit.

== Cinnamon Writer ==

[[File:Cinnamonwriter.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: Cinnamon Writer webpage]]

Cinnamon Writer is a compact and efficient word processor developed especially
with AmigaOS in mind. Cinnamon Writer has all of the basic functionality expected of a modern word processor. This includes changeable layout style, support of anti-aliased truetype fonts, infinite "intelligent" Undo/Redo history, user defined page setup and file compatibility with other word processors as Word and OpenOffice that can use RTF or DocX files.

== ComicOn ==

[[File:Comiconshot.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: ComicOn webpage]]

ComicOn displays all your favorite comic strips. Simply select the comic strip and date from the available list and ComicOn displays the strip for you. ComicOn requires RapaGUI which is available free of charge from the Hollywood webpage.

[http://www.amiga5000.de/ ComicOn webpage]

== CPUWatcher ==

[[File:Cpuwatcher1.png|400px|thumb|left|Image Source: CPUWatcher OS4Depot webpage]]
[[File:Cpuwatcher2.png|300px|thumb|center|Image Source: CPUWatcher OS4Depot webpage]]

CPU Watcher is a simple tool to monitor CPU usage, free memory and network traffic.

It works by launching its own idling task (called "Uuno") at priority -127. Task's execution time is measured and the system load is determined, based on how much time "Uuno" got during a time period (which is 1 second).

Current features include:

* Displays the last 5 minutes of CPU usage (green graph)

* Displays the percentage of free public memory (red graph), virtual memory (blue graph) and video memory (light blue graph)

* Displays network traffic (activated with 'n' key), upload speed (upper, red graph), download speed (lower, green graph), current Kilobyte values are shown in Screen's titlebar as well as graphs show the current / peak * 100% value.

== Directory Opus ==

[[File:Directoryopus.png|300px|thumb|left|Image Source: AmigaOS webpage]]

Directory Opus, or DOpus as it is more affectionately known is a dual-panelled file manager.

What sets DOpus apart from all its closest 'rivals' is that it is highly customizable. With a little bit of knowledge you can add support for opening any kind of document that you have a player for.

DOpus is much more than just a 'file-opener' though with it you can perform all manner of operations that make file management straightforward and easy. You can copy, delete or rename files and folders from any device you may have setup; that device could be another computer on your local area network or even a remote site via FTP.

Directory Opus can be found on the AmigaOS Installation CD as an optional install. Additional versions of Directory Opus can also be downloaded.
