This is disk 5 of the freely distributable AMIGA software library.
It contains many of the programs, written by Commodore-Amiga people,
that were included in disk number 1. However, they have been cleaned
up so that they compile cleanly on the AMIGA, return resources
allocated, etc.
cons Console device demo program with supporting macro routines.

freemap Creates a visual diagram of free memory. Comes with
custom icon so can be run from workbench screen.

input.dev In combination with hander.interface.asm (supplied),
lets a user trap keyboard or mouse events before they
get to Intuition and if desired, install new (phony/
generated/other-devices-mouse-simulations) into the
input stream. Handler.interface.asm is needed to convert
the calling sequence performed by the input.task for
the input stream management into something that a
C program can understand.
