Cando 2.5 stuff
Message #76341
I've got a few problems with Cando 2.5. I've been trying to figure out ClipRegions but the examples given with the program don't work. Here's the script that's supposed to set up the ClipRegions for the deck "Boxes". Nop ; lets make it so we don't draw on the borders…
Juan, hey, it's nice to be remembered! I don't know how long I've been away from CIS but it must have been MONTHS! Yeah, the MERLIN … :^)) :^(( :^| … etc. It's really not _that_ bad, isn't it? Quite good, actually, but the intuition emulation is still too slow…
Hi Jon, >> Why anyone wants to run a 256 colour workbench screen is beyond me… then you have 256 colours available (e.g. PhotoWorx). Isn't possible to put the upgrade here on CIS? it would be easier to everyone that is registered!! Juan 🙂 APflying with EGS-Spectrum-turbo (and 256 colours…
Hallo Christian, nice to see you again on CIS. Thanks for the reply. So I think we are many with this kind of problem. My compi does freeze completely when this bug occur and I must reboot always. BTW I have (had) also an MERLIN 4MB. Since I got the…
#@&!! Gigamem
Message #76110
Dear INNOVAtronics, I've tried repeatedly to get help with Gigamem. No response. I'm giving it one more chance… I'm running an A2000 with a GVP G-Force '040 and 18 MB RAM. I've installed Gigamem as per the manual. When I try to run the software, a shell opens and I…
The problem with the configuration program crashing on a 256 colour workbench screen has been fixed in version 4.12 – call for an upgrade (it should be free). Why anyone wants to run a 256 colour workbench screen is beyond me, but anyway.. 🙂 The problem with MagicMenu is with…
I have experienced the 'freezing' during/after move/delete actions as well, even back with the 3.41 version… Sometimes a (multiple action) operation starts, tries to open a window for progress indication or whatever and just locks up after having painted the border or so… It doesn't happen very often and most…
thanks for your info Karl, so, I'm no longer alone 🙂 and let's wait for a newer version Juan

Good luck to you! GT
I am having the same kind of trouble (though not nearly so bad) with a Picasso board. DirOpus doesn't seem to like non-standard sceens anywhere on the system. -Karl Speaking from the Rubble.
#DirOpus4.11
Message #75632
I have following failures utilising DirOpus 4.11: – When I'm in a 256 WB-Color-modus and DirectoyOpus is configured to open on the workbench, everytime I try to open the configuration programm, a (empty) window opens and the computer crash. I must reboot. This doesn't happens in a p.e. 16 color…
With your problem go to GVP also in Vendor. I have the same Problem with the GFORCE 040. I think this come not from 68040 Library. With Enforcer install this Programm will bether run but slow and with hits. Andres Staeubli ID 100333,3017 Switzerland
#Gigamem Problem
Message #75358
I recently posted a query about Gigamem that has, apparently, gone unanswered. Is there anyone out there using Gigamem with Lightwave? I have an A2000 with a GVP '040 and 18MB RAM. When I try to run Gigamem, I get a prompt saying: "unsupported MC68040 configuration. " The program will…
Gigamem
Message #74981
Dear INOVAtronics Tech Support: I recently received Gigamem 2.0 mail order from you (REG. # G1000001132). I have yet to get my registration card in the mail, but I have a question. Firstly, after setting up everything in the prefs section, I ran the program and received an error message…
Yes, You are correct sir, I spoke w/ a INOVAtronics rep. on the phone and he said exactly what you said. It's no problem with an updated user but it's been a bit confusing trying to run through the tutorials (the control panel seems to have been changed a bit)…
Hi Dale, I have both the versions and I seem to think INOVA… just added the amigaguide document to include updates to the manual. As there isn't much to the update as new commands etc it was obviously more cost effective. Hope that helps. Charles * Thirsk – North Yorkshire…
#Wrong CanDo manual???
Message #74514
I have just purchased CanDo ver. 2.51 but I think I may have got the wrong manual with it. On the page titled CanDo Legalities one line says CanDo Manual version 2.0 – Produced with Tomas rokicki's AmigaTEX Is this the manual for a previous version? The screens shown in…

As a general rule, commercial products are more reliable, if for no other reason that the implied merchantablity requirement that allows you to demand your money back if you buy something and it is not as advertised. Also, in general, commercial products come with at least some usuable documentation (Microsoft…
Commercial programs are almost always more reliable? Surely you jest. I know many shareware and PD authors who put many commercial ventures to shame. Pick a topic and I'll show you a better non-commercial version, docs included. –Paul < Motorola Inside >

Thanks; going to 16 WB colours was sufficient. MikeJ

HiQ A500 Tower

Sorry, the HiQ Tower is no longer being made or sold. Martin Murray
Sorry, but there are no current plans to update PowerWindows. Surely there is something workable in the PD by now for this? Martin Murray
Power Windows
Message #73453
Many moons ago, there was a product called Power Windows, which made it a snap to design screens and windows for Amiga programs. Is this program ever going to be updated? Bill Roberts — Autopilot from Ellettsville, Indiana
Basically yes you do need to obtain a licence in order to distribute CanDo software; however, in the case of public domain or freeware this licence is free. Contact Inovatronics on 1-214-340-4991 for more information. Jon

Try bumping Workbench up to 16 (or even 32 colours), and the config program should open on the WOrkbench screen.

Message #72496
I have Opus 4.03 and would like to upgrade but would like to know what changes have taken place, and if there is and address in the UK in which I can recive an upgrade from or do you provide this service here on Compuserve. Thanks Mark (London UK)……..On Autopilot
Jon Thanks for the reply. I turned promotion on without effect. Could you expand on the shareable pens? Looking at 3.18.2 in the manual suggests I should have the colours the same in both DOpus and WB? Mike
Thanks for the comments. I have tried setting promotion on, it wasn't before, but this has had no effect onthe visibility of config. Can you expand on the issue of the number of shareable pens please? Currently both DOpus and Workbench are on 8 colours. Do I gather these should…
The Config program will always open a default HIRES screen (PAL in your case). However if you don't have promotion turned on it will not be displayable on your monitor. The Config program will also open on Workbench if there are eno [A [B The Config program will also open…

DOpus crashes
Message #71898
Help! I'm using Dopus on a A4000/040, 18Megs RAM, two IDE harddrives, Toaster 4000. I use Dopus. Fine. But when I try to quit DOpus, it hangs my machine! Any suggestions??????!!!!! Please help. Matt
Thanks for nice advice. I am thinking about AMOS's next version which is compatible with AGA. Thanks alot! Y.misawa
I think it's still possible to upgrade Cando 1.0 to 2.5. (the latest version) You should realize though that you will lose a couple of things when you upgrade. First, the help system of the newer versions (2.0 and up) uses Commodore's AmigaGuide. Because of this you no longer have…
#CanDo from1.0 to 2.0
Message #71623
I am user of CanDo 1.0. I think I have not upgraded CanDo1.0 to upper version. But if my registration is still OK, Can I have any special offer for 2.0? Or is that cheeper that upgrade to buy another CanDo2.0. I especially interested in CanDo's compatibility to AGA.
Checksum on 4.11
Message #71504
Hi Pete, sorry about your bad disk. Just call the 1-800 number and they'll send you a new disk out free of charge. Jon
From Australia call 0011-1-214-340-4991. Will Frank Keighley of Desktop Utilities be able to distribute this programme? Regards, Mark
Basically it is free to distribute PD software; you do need to call and obtain the new DeckRunner equivalent. From Australia call 0011-1-214-340-4991. Jon
That's a good question. I'm getting geared up to release two PD programs and I don't even know what to do regarding their new policy. ..DonovaN
G'day guys, About one month ago I requested information re: the distribution arrangements for CanDo V2.51. Things been hetic as they are I've not yet received a reply.
