PD Utilities listing
Seeing as the main PD demos list takes
rather a lot of space, here are the useful and otherwise utilities
that have been produced and called freeware by various people. There
is also a list of PD games plus some
other things.
The names that have (+D) after or are called '+D something' will only
work on Disciple or +D disk systems, or emulators that will emulate these
interfaces very well (can't promise success for emulators). Also, +3
means it will only work on a +3 - usually because its a disk utility.
Here's a key to those weird symbols I've inserted in the list anyway.
KEY TO TYPES
* = Snapshot (so +D/Spectrum-emulator required)
# = Available via ftp as a .SNA or .Z80 ZIPped snapshot from various sites
128 = Needs a 128K Spectrum/emulator which does it ie a 128/+2/+3/+2A or Z80
emulator/XZX?

As with the other PD list, this is obviously not ALL the programs around
and whenever I get the time to write up things and the site gets updated, it
may grow but, no promises).
