#29503-#Bruce Dawson Review
Message #29705
Oh, THIS one is no drag. It's an Amiga product and it's gonna be HOT (at least for those people who need one of these puppies). The hardware is almost finished, the software about 50%, and we've had the system in operation for a couple of months. It gets exciting…

#29352-#New VirusX soon?
Message #29626
The IRQ virus will only show it's name on the title bar about 3% of the time. 50% of the time it will infect the C:DIR program, and 50% of the time it will inspect your startup-sequence and infect the first program found there. Possible scenario: – Download program from…

#29573-GVP questions
Message #29618
Somewhere (I believe in the mountlist file itself) I read a comment that GVP had stored a copy of the mountlist in an area called the Rigid blocks for the use of the Autoboot ROMs. Well… I may as well switch over to a single 40Meg partition, then… –>Steve Bennett

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-

#29491-#GVP questions
Message #29573
GVP creates their own reserved cylinders, similar to the 2090A. With their autoboot ROMs, the all user partitions can be FFS. I have a 20 meg disk with one partition that is all FFS. I suspect, though, that you will have to completely re-initialize your disk when you do install…

Message #29491
Well, right now I don't have the autoboot, so that isn't the problem. I had originally created three partitions on my hard disk (1 small one for whenever I decided to add autobooting, so that most of my stuff would still be on a FFS partition… Hmmn… Does the GVP…

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…
#29475-Manx linker hangs
Message #29479
Martin, You know, when I fired up CAPE for the first time, and decided that the editor was not for me, I went looking through the manual for information about running it from a CLI. At that time, I read somewhere in the manual that there were only two command…

#29324-A1000, SCSI, DMA
Message #29478
Michael, Cltd will shortly have available and autobooting, fast SCSI Host/Controller for the A1000. It should cost around $300.00 or so retail. Keep an eye on Abel Supply's price list where it will probably become available for about $200.00 or so (based on old pricing of the current model). I…

#29213-Insider for A1000?
Message #29477
Dean, too summarize. I have tried the following: 1. Booting normally using addmem (the one supplied on Insider disk) Mounting RAD: and putting the required startup files on RAD: Remove disk from df0: and warm boot. The machine automatically defaults to request to insert WB disk. 2. Same procedure as…

Gosh …. Well, first I went with a name I knew. I already owned a Microbotics 8-UP board, and it performed well. The engineering and layout of the board as well as the concept impressed me. As for the HardFrame, with a transfer speed of 5 megabytes per second, it…

Message #29474
DMCS tries to close the Workbench screen. Try Left Amiga-N from DMCS. If the Workbench screen doesn't appear DMCS has closed it. If you are running a program that opens a window on the Workbench (other than a drawer window. something like a CLI) DMCS can't close the Workbench screen.…

#29336-#Turbo/Ami Pascal, Bridge
Message #29467
Borland advertised TurboPascal in the very first AmigWorld, then they changed their minds and decided to shift their efforts to ANOTHER computer system rather than Amiga. I never thought Borland would be a vaporware company… Maybe eventually they'll come back and finish the job. (Don't hold your breath…)

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.

#Modem 2400 BPS Lynker's
Message #29465
I just replaced my 1200 bps modem with a new 2400 Lynker's modem. When I call compuserve or Plink, it refuses to connect in the 2400 bps mode and just locks up with a connect 1200. I am setting my terminal (Diga) properly, I believe. It connects to a local…

#29448-Aztec C vrs 1.3!
Message #29462
Actually, I've never used Lint in the Amiga programming environment. Whenever I have used it, it was in programming under UNIX. As I said, for me and the way I code and test my programs, it's of very little use to me. I've programmed in C for quite a while…

I have DIGA! and the easiest way to edit the contents of the buffer is to save it first either to RAM: or to disk using a specified filename. You can then edit it at your leisure.

Message #29457
Dave, Sorry about the name. Either there is another 'Hankins' with first name Dan, or I have somehow had it wrong all along. Yes, I've played with Gimpel's lint, and yes, I know you can selectively turn off error messages. The problem I see with that approach is that many…

Marlene's response to you is correct, and gives you the typical BROwse output, including Dispozition! prompt so you can specify further actions. In some cases, however, one might only need to look at the file description or keywords. Or perhaps you want to capture the listings for several files fitting…

Steve, I use A68K almost exclusively, the only time I don't use it being when I have to assemble someone elses code on a particular assembler to help with an assembler dependent problem. A68K is available here in the ASM LIB, though there is another version imminent, with better speed…

#29417-#Sidecar Help
Message #29453
Don, I think you may be thinking of the second 512K board that was supplied with the German designed A2000. It apparently fit the memory slot under the drive in the sidecar. It was an 86 pin board that went into the coprocessor slot in the A2000. -larry

Mike, The verdict on interlaced, overscan screens impacting the 2090 is definitely not in yet. It would seem that it is dependent upon the program that is being used. For example, if UShow is showing a hires, interlaced picture, you can fire up another USahow and load a similar picture…

Message #29449
Steve, I'd highly recommend CAPE from Innovatronics. Please be aware that this opinion is somewhat biased since OTG Software has a marketing agreement with Innovatronics – still, I think if you ask around, most everyone who has used CAPE will recommend it over any other assembler currently available for the…

Message #29448
Steve, I must take exception to your comment about Lint. If you program with Lattice C, I'd agree with you. However, Manx C does not yet support prototypes, and will let you get away with murder in your code – Manx assumes you know what you're doing, oftentimes to your…

Larry, the "D" in "D Hankins" stands for "Dave", not "Dan" . Have you had an opportunity to play with Gimpel Lint for the Amiga? You can selectively turn off error/warning messages that you don't care to see. As I see it, the biggest advantages that assembly has over C,…
