There are many Happy fitted drives around but how many
folks have found public domain utilities to enhance their use? Here you
have a good set of utilities to get the best from your drive. HAPPY XL
is a software patch for the XL/XE that allows high speed data transfer
between the computer and your Happy drive. HAPPY SUPER-BOOTER allows you
to run many commercial boot disks at high speed, increasing data
transfer from 19,200 baud to about 52,000 baud! Any program that
accesses the drive, whether text adventures, word processors or
databases will benefit from this extra speed of access. As well as these
major utilities you also have a new TRANSLATOR to run old software
together with a number of smaller utilities including LOADFONT which
will display custom fonts. RAMOS which will give you extra protected
space in RAM to store character sets, SHOWSET to display the entire
(redefined) ASCII character set on screen and a few more. As well as all
this you get good documentation and the source code to most of the
utilities. You'll be even Happy-er!
