#22509-Single-frame VCRs
Message #22541
Thanks, Peter. I downloaded and read the press release on CineMorph, and it sounded pretty good. Being used to IBM-compatible software prices, I'm constantly amazed at the low cost of high quality software for the Amiga platform! Jerry

Your best bet is call 800 852 8442, tell them what happened, and we'll send a new one, free. No cost to you at any point in this process. We won't EMAIL these things, though. Glad you like the new button classes. We've got more in store before 10.0, and…

Vic & Steven are correct; a call to the publisher is in order. In answer to your question; yes. Word Perfect's "Calendar" program also does not work with the new operating system (2.0) found on the A3000. I use it a lot. My A3000 (a developer's version) allows me to…

The little guy (what's his name, Skippy?) gave my six-year-old a real run for his money at the Egghead store (I was buying a null modem). I had dismissed it as a Pong remake, which goes to show I oughtn't judge a book by its cover. THol() { cout

I hadn't heard that DAS didn't run with 2.0 on the 3000. If _I_ owned it, that would certainly be cause for a phonecall to the company. DAS is a VERY new program and the authors _should_ have known all about the 'gotchas'. Victor A. Wagner, Jr.

Is Shufflepuck Cafe enjoyable? And how! Whether a novice or master, it's great fun because you have a range of opponents, with varying skills, to choose from. And some of their snarling/smirking alien retorts when they smash a puck into your goal just drive you on to blow them away.…

Since the A1000 has a composite video output (unlike the 500 and 2000), all you need is an RF modulator. Radio Shack sells a nice one. If you have a VCR, you can also just connect the composite output to the VCR's video input. Don't expect it to look as…
