I knew there was something else you had to do to get the C= NewShell working, glad you found it. Betcha if you keep that one on your fingertips, somebody else will have the same problem real soon and you can fix 'em up-
#Alias
Message #29490
After reading your last message to me I started back at trying to figure out how I could get command history of the shell but not be able to get the alias feature to work (as per your notations). First thing I did was type the resident command and it…
What's MachII? — Ethan
Thanks again, Khalid! I'll check it out! Bye for now…. + Phil +
Thanks Khalid. Let me know when you have a name for it….I'll check it out. + Phil +
Have you tried MachII? I gave up PopCLI and the other 'TSRs' (yuck – a 'blue' word) as soon as I saw MachII. It does everything.
John, NO space between the > and the 'nil:' so it should look like: run >nil: gomf3.0 Now, as to the r/w error…is that disk ok? Try copying another file onto it and see if you get the same error. leave the current version of gomf there. In fact, just…
#Gomf3.0
Message #29434
Allstartup-sequence as manual shows (stack 1000 , run > nil: gomf3.0 ,stack 8000) then I attempt to copy Gomf3.0 onto disk…the copy goes about 3 secs. then I get a READ/WRITE error prompt that connot be stopped without re-boot… but upon re-booting the disk reads fine, no error messages, and…
VirusX3.10
Message #29416
Jim, I checked your upload of VirusX3.10, added a file of information from Stan Kalisher's upload, and added another program, SYSCHK.ARC that may be helpful in controlling this virus. Then I arced that and put it in LIB 14. Our thanks to you, to SteQibbetts, and also to Stan, to…
Ethan, It's very easy to get PopCLI to invoke a Shell, rather than a CLI. Assuming that you are starting PopCLI from your startup-sequence, edit that particular line to read something like this: C:PopCLI 600 Newshell NEWCON:0/10/640/190/PopShell Specifying where PopCLI is located (in this case its C:, for me it's…
Betty, I did something unheard of, I read the manual. It says that the syntax for PopCli is as follows. PopCli command refers to what command is executed when the hot key is pressed. Scan code is optional. So I just typed PopCli 300 NewShell >NIL: See what a little…
You can set PopCLI to use the shell instead of the CLI. I did this from DMouse, but DMouse uses POPCLI to do that job. With DMouse, I only had to add the command -CNewShell. Sorry – I don't know exactly how it is done with PopCli. Perhaps someone here…
Will look tonight, Khalid. Sorry it hasn't been merged yet. BTW, Khalid, would you tell me more about your SX500? I have an SX64, too. Betty
Dan, Lib4, ARC.EXE. Betty
Dan, That Bridge card was more than most hard drive systems. 🙂 -larry
Ron, That doesn't surprise me at all…the A500 is a much lower cost machine than the lowest Mac and the A500 sold more than the A2000 by a wide margin. Don
I found that qmouse using left amgia escape can have its command line set to use the shell, if that helps you any. Ron
Now, if I remember that earlier message, that there were about 200 thousand some Mac's sold, sounds like Amiga did extremely well by any standards. Ron
Ah ! I wondered much the same thing myself. A kludgey but easy answer is to have the CLI-Startup file in you SYS:s directory perform the e desired ASSIGNments and then RUN NewShell. Voila ! The ,major drawback is that this does take longer than the usual POPCli, but it…
#PopCli/Shell
Message #29319
Does anyone know if there is or will be a version of PopCli which will open a shell instead of cli under WB1.3. PopCli is a great utility, but that would definitely improve it. — Ethan
Betty, I use it a lot, too. I have uploaded a much better version to DL13 called HELP.ARC around 3 days ago. It's hasn't been merged yet. Maybe you'd like to have a look at it. Khalid.
Larry, I'd do everything from the AMIGA side if I could afford the peripherals etc. I will get ARC from the library – too bad about PKPAK though I liked the self extracting achive feature. Aloha, Dan
Don, Thanks, I think I saw ARC while rooting through the libraries. Aloha, Dan
Eli, For what it's worth, I'm having the same problem on my AMI 1000 with 1 Meg Insider Board and clock. I'm also "viewing" the files via Diskmaster. My problem seems to have begun right after New Year. BR — Canton, Ohio
#WB/CLI Interface
Message #29271
Ron, If you believe CBM's statements…about 600,000 sold in '88. Don
Thanks for the info Betty – I don't have TransAmi #4 yet either – (sigh). Marlene
Khalid, That WordPerfect help program is very good. I'm using it regularly now – much easier than searching the little keyboard strip. Thanks. Betty
Marlene, The answer lies in using EXECUTE with 'delete'. TransAMi #4 has an article on doing CLI work from AmigaBASIC, and this information is explained in that article – but I do not yet have a copy of that magazine. If you can get hold of a copy, it should…
That's bizarre; I've not heard of the like either. Do any other music/score programs (like Sonix proper, DMCS, etc.) work properly? Does ANY non-audio/music program show a similar symptom? Rick
True, and conceeded. Rick
As I said, we won't come to terms on this one, as our outlooks are somewhat different. I respect you for your viewpoint. It just isn't mine. Rick
Phil, I just checked. STAMP.ARC is already up on DL14. I hope it's what you need. Khalid.
#29128
wBG's
Message #29166
Jamie – you don't need to use "defdisk" if you've got the ARP Assign command as you can give multiple ASSIGN pairs to the ARP Assign and have it do everything with one execution of ASSIGN in your startup-sequence. Just use something like: Assign C: DH0:C L DH0:L LIBS: DH0:LIBS…
Slow music problem
Message #29158
I hope someone will be able to help me with at problem I've got with my Amiga 2000. It works OK with most things, however with a Sonix player program, it plays the notes at about 1 note every 30 seconds. If I open another window, it will play a…
Cheath, Other than having "ALIAS" problems, all of my arp commands work fine as do my 1.3 commands. I have made Shell-Seg resident with the 1.3 version of resident, I have mounted newcon and I currently have all other capabilities of the shell. Unfortunetly I *KNOW* that the problem with…
Rob, I thought I had, but after checking it looks like I didn't! Anyway, I'll dig it out and upload it. I just found a better version that does the same thing in a book called 'Amiga System Programmer's Guide.' This version is more reliable. Thanks for reminding me. Khalid.
#Disable mem. program
Message #29152
Khalid- I was just wondering, did you ever upload your program for disabling extra memory? Rob
Eli, Some program seems to turn up with this problem almost every January – and especially when a leap year is involved. Maybe things will go well for the next three years, at least. Betty
Yes, Khalid's utility is an ideal solution. Yes XICON, IXECUTE, and a couple others all do the same thing. Just make sure it is in your C; directory. Then create a batch file with your editor, save it with an icon and use the INFO option from workbench to view…
Phil, I polished up the program a bit and just uploaded it to DL14 as STAMP.ARC. I guess it'll take a day or so before it gets merged. I also added a 'copy' option to it which will copy the file and then stamp the copy. Khalid.
Phil, I just do programs that I feel I need. Anyway, I'll upload that program to DL14. Should be up in a couple of days. Hmm.. dunno what I'll call it yet. Khalid.
Dennis, Amiga World strikes again….as usual, their information is wrong, the new JANUS software is not out yet. Don
Sounds interesting, but I wouldn't want to delete the old file….as a matter of fact, that is one of the problems. I logon again, the term opens up the SAME capture file again, and OVERWRITES the old one. I wanted to rename it to a name with the current date/time…
YES! VERY interested! Sounds just like what I was looking for! Boy, Khalid…..your always coming up with the most *useful* little software, eh? + Phil +
Rick, Any publisher that puts out a software package had better beta test it themselves. If they don't….they are just as responsible as the author. Don
Dennis, I don't think the new version is out yet. It doesn't surprise me that AW says it is though. -larry
#New Janus?
Message #29098
Don, By the way, the Feb '89 AW says, in the Help Key column; "The 1.3 Amiga operating system upgrade contains a new version of the Janus library and a new set of PC Tools to work with it.". The PC Tools are on the Extras disk, but I haven't…
Jon, Thanks so much for your assistance. I'll check over what I'm doing again and try out the Forth forum. I had a Professor in college that was very active with some Forth groups. It was his idea for my project of the forth interpreter back then (~6years ago). I…
I disagree. If you use a shareware product, you should pay for it. Using it and refusing to pay for it for whatever reason is less than honest and is the reason why (with very few exceptions) the shareware concept is not working.
Then we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I absolutely agree that considering a price too high does not give someone a right to steal. I'm dead-set against piracy, and have never owned a stolen piece of commercial software in my computing lifetime. Shareware, to my mind, is…
