DImpWin		A GUI interface for Disk-Imploder (included) by A.J. Brouwer.
		DImp is one of the most efficient disk archivers available
		for the Amiga.  It offers 7 different levels of compression,
		the ability to create self-extracting archives, MULTIPLE
		CYLINDER RANGES, ability to work with any floppy compatible
		device (such as RAD: & FMS disks) and it can also add a text-
		file to the archive that will be displayed during extraction.
		Via the GUI interface,  DImp-Win will invoke DImp and tell it
		what to do.  DImp-Win version 1.0, DImp version 2.27.  Requires
		AmigaOS 2.04+.  Binary only.

StatRam		Stat-RAM or 'SD0:' is a very fast recoverable ram drive that
		takes advantage of FFS under WB2 or FFS International under
		WB2.1 or 3.  This work is based on ASDG's 'VD0:'.  ASDG-RAM
		has been reliable for many years since it was placed in the
		PD.  However it has always been slow because it uses OFS, or
		old file system.  On an accelerated machines, SD0: is up to 7
		times faster, and averages 5 times faster than the original
		VD0:.  It's also 4 to 5 times faster than RRD.  It survives
		the deepest re-boot, even the ColdReboot of rekicking a KS
		file.  Version 1.5, binary only.

		icon at a possibly user defined position on the WorkBench

UnivConq	A strategy game where two human players battle for control of

		ually updated to allow the player to concentrate on strategy,
		not statistics.  Includes digitized pictures and sound.
