Help with DPaint Palete?
Message #217206
Hi All, I wonder if anyone can help with a problem i have with DPaint IV (aga). I want to stamp a brush onto a background as a shadow. I know how to do this using F5 and selecting the colours in the background as a range. But this particular…

Steve, DARN!! I knew I'd run into problems not having a CD-ROM drive!! Sigh… Well, hopefully by the time I'm ready to upgrade from the SE version I should get with my A4000T/060, I'll have installed a CD-ROM drive in that beastie…..:) Asha @}–,–`–
Richard, I purchased an old version from a CIS member and then ordered the upgrade directly from Waterloo Maple Software! I got their telephone number from the posting Micheal Shea put on CIS — try (519) 747-2373. I'm pretty confident that if you want to purchase the complete package directly…
Ed, Where do you order Maple? -Richard
John, The transitions and animations on the Windows side just aren't smooth when compared to the Amiga. I am hoping the Amiga can grab some attention over here where I work, but I am not pushing anymore. I am finding myself becoming more of a cross-platform worker. Good Luck on…
John, You said and I quote: >>I would love to get Scala MM300, and I may still someday. I an keeping my Amiga purchases to the minimum for the time being.>Although I render on the Amiga, I compile to .AVI and play the presentations with CBT Express from AimTech. Sorry…
Brian, Ordered my Maple V R3 less than 5 days ago and already recieved it! Cost was $149.00 plus shipping and customs. I'm not really sure what the shipping and customs charges are but I'm sure that when my credit card statement shows up I'll know ! Discussing the future…

MPeg's
Message #216650
Does anyone use MPeg's or AVI's with AmigaDOS 2.1? I've tried two programs from the Aminet, for MPeg's, that are supposed to work on ALL Amigas, but they don't work on mine. I've got an A500, DOS 2.1. Soon to recieve my 030/33mhz. If you know of something that works,…
> any idea on the cost of the upgrade to Maple V Release 3? I have not heard, because I am supposed to get my upgrade free. About two years ago I have promised Release 2 in a "couple of months". When I called them back and they told me…

Michael, any idea on the cost of the upgrade to Maple V Release 3? Brian Been there…. Done that…. Better.
Al, Try Chris Fenwick in the NewTek forum. Chris doesn't work for NewTek or Innovision, but regularly answers AlphaPaint questions there and is very knowledgeable. Regards, Norman Austin 70743,1535
A friend of mine has Alpha Paint installed on his Toaster 4000 system and it seems fast enough to me, although we haven't done much with it yet. He has a WarpEngine 4040 accelerator and 32MB of ram so I'm sure that helps. An accelerator and plenty of memory will…
You might try AmigaArts Forum.

Michael, Any idea what the pricing is for Maple V. I've always wanted this program but it was a little steep for something I really don't need for anything. -Richard
Auto/AmiTCP
Message #215550
Thanks Steve, however I am still ret triving my mail on Comm1.34. I do have AmiTCP installed bu t it hangs up on line one of Configuration File. Will try to scan the Form Forum on Comm1.34 until I can figure out how to do it on AutoPilot.
Boy, do you have good timing. Below is press release I found in AmigaReport #318. It is about Maple V Release 3, the only commericial Computer Algebra program available for Amiga. It is also better than MathCad and Mathematica, IMHO, although each program has its strengths. I have be using…
#Symbolic Math Programs
Message #215448
Help! I am feeling an acute need for a symbolic manipulation (computer algebra) program for my AmigaDOS 2.1 system with 68020, 68881 math coprocessor, mmu, and 5 MB memory (total). Does anyone know how I can get one, especially a good one, similar to MathCad or Mathematica? — Charles Reed
Paul, > It sure does. I have imported categories, budgets, and account information directly from Quicken (had to get it out of the PC and into the Amiga first). This seems like the best program on the Amiga so far. That's good to know. Now all I have to do…

Dan, It sure does. I have imported categories, budgets, and account information directly from Quicken (had to get it out of the PC and into the Amiga first). This seems like the best program on the Amiga so far.

AREXX SCRIPTS
Message #214987
Help! I need an AREXX to control a BCD 2000 card with a BETA SP player and Video Toaster (ver. 3.1) to do sequence Frame Capture of video for use in animations. I would be most appreciative of anyone who can help me write a script for this or provide…
Hi Alan, Do you mean HTML? If you do, you don't need a compiler. Its just text with embedded "Tags" which describe the graphical effects. I use a text editor, though there are HTML Editors which have buttons for entering the tags (sorry I haven't yet found one). Ciao, Terry…
Paul- Well, one thing that really ticks me off is that all trims done to a scene are destructive to that scene, even though the footage doesn't get touched. I.e. you can't set in/out points that will be used everywhere including the timeline. So basically, all editing has to be…
Paul, >Now I'm just gonna have to write a bloody ARexx front end for it. Sounds interesting. What are you planning! *Watching the sun set over Candlewood Lake CT* -Paul Gerhardt-

SBase4Pro
Message #210216
To anyone who has had experience with Sbase 4 Pro, or equivalent: How does one construct a query to write a disk file of a limited number of records. For example, the database I am working with has over 28k records, but I want to print a disk file of,…
Joseph, I'm sorry, but I don't know about Ken Kirkpatrick's Birthday Almanac. I notice, however, that you are in the UK. I suspect this software would be in the Amiga library of the ICPUG computer club – but you'd have to be a member in order to get it. Seems…
Naw, I got a beta 2.5 awhile back. I called Eric, so 2.6 should be arriving soon. Now I'm just gonna have to write a bloody ARexx front end for it. 🙁 Mr. Zombie
John, On that bad audio pop at the start of a timeline audio track, try double clicking on the new scene after you put it on the timeline. This brings up an "Edit Audio Data" window. Pick "EDIT ENVELOPE", then "Split". Place the crosshairs near the beginning of the scene…
Paul, Check the titlebar at the top of the program. They are shipping 2.6 on disks labelled 2.5. It seems that the program was released in Germany as 2.5, but then they found a few loose bugs and revised it again. Dale
Joseph, Sorry…I've not heard of that software. Perhaps someone else can remember it. Don
#Information1
Message #210087
Can you help me.I'm trying to locate a particular piece of software for the PC, i have been informed that this particular piece of software or something like it was done for the AMIGA. I do'nt know if it's shareware or commercial, but it's something like KEN KIRKPATRICK'S BIRTHDAY ALMANAC.…
TurboCalc
Message #210012
TurboCalc is a really nice spreadsheet for the AMiga. IT seems to do everything my Lotus spreadsheet does and it only cost 50 dollars.
NeuroPro is indeed a (the only commercial) neural network AI program for Amiga. 3-layer backpropagation 'textbook' but nifty, with a complete color display of network operation and connections. Accepts inputs (256 neurons per layer, adjustable from 1 to 256 in each layer) as text strings, little 8×8 or 16×16 2-color…
>>I've talked to Eric about this as well. They sure could use as much exposure as possible.
Dale, >You are Summit Graphics, right? Yep, that's me. All the stuff on the Amiga Gang tape was limited by the fact that I had to fit an entire shot in memory to play the anim through DCTV. Now with VLAB-M those limits are history! Add to that the fact…
Well, sounds about like 2.5, which is what I have. But I'll get it anyway. Mr. Zombie
Thanks Dale, I'll be calling to get the full MovieShop 2.6 release soon :^) I've been wanting to start a thread here to get some help with the audio settings with MS. I've been using a Gamma vers. for a while (MS 2.5G11) under WB 2.04 :^( The online help…
Paul, You are Summit Graphics, right? I got both Amiga Gang tapes, and I saw some of your work. I use those tapes as a kind of inspiration… when I get tired of wrestling with learning the software, I usually put one of those tapes in the VCR. I hope…
Dale, Yep! Got mine today. Still having fun exploring it. 🙂 *Watching the sun set over Candlewood Lake CT* -Paul Gerhardt-
>Still no waveform though, right? No, no waveform within the MovieShop program. Music videos cut to the beat would be a little more difficult, but not impossible. The audio recording and audio cutting tools do display timecode, which could be used as a reference. You can also split the audio…
