Need 'compare' program
Message #613
Greg, If you use Lattice (SAS) C, they have a 'diff' in their 'c' directory. I don't know about any here in the LIBs, but then I haven't looked, as Lattice kindly supplied me with one. Victor A. Wagner, Jr.
I certainly hope things turn out. Victor A. Wagner, Jr.

#ProPage & Adobe
Message #608
Hello, all! I have ProPage by Gold Disk, and I've got some Compugraphic Fonts. I was commissioned by a co-worker (should be set off by commas, sorry) to convert the Franklin Gothic Adobe typeface from IBM to Amiga-usable formats. There's a package out there that helps (PSFont, by Canadian Software…
Frank, Copy stand is sold already. Sorry.
LaserJet question
Message #606
The laserjet technology creates an entire page "in its head" before it prints the page, so, the memory in the computer won't help a bit. Wouldn't it be nice?

Don – That particular line appears to be supurfluous anyway. When I last changed the s-s, something began making the T directory in RAM: and assigning it. I'm not sure what is doing it at the moment, but I did have to take out my MAKEDIR command for it to…
Mike; Where do you get 8520's for only 50 cents each? 73, bill
Kelly; Can't believe that I can't find anyone in this area with a ground rod driver. Sure don't want to pound that thing into the ground with a hammer! 73, bill
Dom; I had a feeling that I "blew it" when I put in the stuff about how the forums "work." Wasn't sure but thought that I had seen your name before. Oh well, good luck with the new system anyway. 73, bill
If your daughter doesn't know what to do with Amateur radio, she'll fit right in. Most of us had no idea what we wanted to do when we started, only that it seemed an attractive way to waste er spend time. I'm a new ham and have recently started exploring…

MC68010 use???
Message #600
You can do likewise with the Mega Midget Racer. It plugs into the 68000 slot, and the 68000 plugs into it. It provides socketing for 68020/030 and 68881/82 as well as 500 K of 32-bit ram and a card connector to add more 32 bit ram. The card does not…

#Horizontal-Only Mouse
Message #599
I had a mouse that would only move horizontally. Suspecting the 8520, I swapped the chips. Then it would only move vertically. Turned out both 8520s were busted. I also had a bad Fat Agnus; I don't know if that caused/was caused by/contributed to the problem. 8520s are less than…

MPlan Update Disappoints
Message #598
My experience is that the help files are unavailable because the system does NOT do a CD to the directory the program is in. I wrote a one-line script file to run the program and execute the script file from an icon using ICONX. ICONX does do a CD to…

Message #594
Howdy Dude! Haven't been to active the past few weeks. Do have the amplifier working – putting out about 350 watts, with about 20 watts from the rig going to a 6 dB attenuator, so about 5 watts going to the amp. Works pretty good so far. After you plant…
I'm sure I'll be accused of being 'unprofessional' (or worse..) for saying this but…… Certainly it sounds like Go's been jerking you around a bit, and it's understandable that you're upset about that. But it makes no sense to me that SAS will send a free 5.1 to Go who…
Dom – I define an independent systems integrator as an individual or company who takes components from various manufacturers and integrates them into a single overall system (ie, basic system from Manufacturer A, monitor from company B, graphics board from company C, etc.). Jeff Schweiger

Don't Go-Amigo!!
Message #591
Roy, You keep forgetting that until today they were saying that they would charge a restocking fee and only after providing a return authorization number without which they would refuse shipment. Since I was no way going to pay a restocking fee, I certainly wasn't going to send the compiler…

#Don't Go-Amigo!!
Message #590
Vic, I finally got ahold of a "grunt" at Go-Amigo who followed up on my call to SAS and is setting up a swap to 5.1. Its beginning to look like a manager who is too tired of the business to be in it anymore and a sales person who…

Don't Go-Amigo!!
Message #589
J, The other is the Gold Disk method – charge $69 for a "full year fo free upgrades", upgrad the program once (major revision) and say that it is not covered by the update. That way you get the money to do the update work then you get to charge…

#Don't Go-Amigo!!
Message #588
Mike, I checked with SAS. They will not deal with me accept on a $40 fee for upgrade basis. To get the "free" upgrade to cover stale shelf product I have todeal with the retailer who in turn deals with SAS. Their rules, not mine or Go-Amigo. Go doesn't want…
Michael – I find that the VT100 program (I use version 2.8, though I believe it's now up to version 2.9B) has an effective Kermit protocol implementation. Jeff Schweiger
The other files are for the convenience of registered users who are updating. They do not contain the doc or the auxillary files that new users will need. So, no, as a new user, you do not need them.

Wayne – I guess you have tryed every possible route and it does appear that Go-Amigo is acting like real dumbsh*ts. You certianly SHOULD NOT have to pay a restocking fee – that is insane. And why the manager doesn't call you back is beyond me – company's that don't…

Tony – You got me. And you have good points. I don't use 1-2-3 so have not really examine that feature. But I was waiting for it. In all the discussions we had before on this prg. no-one ever mentioned the 1-2-3 export functions. (Can you try to Import the…
Betty, I agree with your assessment of the situation. The machine definitely is new in terms of prior usage. I suspect that Commodore had some old machines left over with the old boards in them that they hadn't sold. I'm fairly certain that you couldn't buy the old boards separately,…

Bill, Thanks for the reply. I'm working on straightening out the mixup and obtaining the documentation. I appreciate your help. Just for the record, however, I am not new to the Amiga, nor this Forum. I've owned an Amiga 500 for over 2 1/2 years and been a member of…

Hi Mark, I seem to have missed the first part of this thread (don't know how that happened). Could you elaborate a bit on the DeskJet 500? I presently own a Desk Jet Plus. Regards, Allen

Bill, Bill…move your 'assign t: ram:t' line in your startup-sequence so that it comes above the execute line (right above the assign t: line). When you execute one script from another…a temporary file is written to t: so you want T: in ram: before the execute to speed thingsup. Don

RODIME DRIVE
Message #575
A number of Amiga users have experienced problems with the Rodime hard drive and 2090A controller. These problems include unexpected drive freeze or shutdown, uncertified bad sectors, unusable disk space, etc. The shutdowns are only fixed by a cold boot – not much of a fix for RAMDISK users -…

FontManager Problems
Message #572
Chris, I downloaded it, decompressed it and it's working just fine here. I even renamed my arp.library to verify it isn't using it. It isn't. I also verified that it would work with a minimal stack (2000). I have no idea why it isn't working for you. Perhaps some other…

Roy, I have the notes. I have also done all you suggest. The difficulties are the manager conveniently is never there (I'm beginning to think he doesn't exist as I can't get a name, even). The return authorization they will be happy to give me as long as the "restocking"…

Vic, Two programs that consistently fail are IntroCAD and UltraCAD. Both of them fail while rendering drawings on-screen. Almost everything else runs fine. (I frequently have files in RAM: that are at least 1 week old. – generally, I only reboot by choice for a specific reason.) Hope this rings…

Thanks, Don. I MUST recommend that to my daughter. She has only recently become interested in listening in – even thinking of getting a license for sending as well. I don't know when she plans to do it, considering the kind of schedule she keeps – but at her age,…

FontManager Problems

Dom, Mine just came with the 2091. The controller card can take 2M (I think it is 2) of 16 bit memory, and the accelerator card can have 4M of 32-bit memory. I have not added any memory to mine, though – keep thinking I'll put more on that '030…
