From: Betty Clay/SYSOP AmigaTech Forum · Expansion Hardware November 5, 1990 7:28 PM
Martin, Library 5 of AmigaUser has a program called ARCHLP.EXE that is a tutorial on how to unpack files using all of the forms used in these libraries. You might want to get it, along with LHARC.EXE, ARC.EXE, and ZOO.EXE. It will teach you to use them. Betty
#3126- Exp'd C Pro for hire Message #3142
From: Syndesis AmigaTech Forum · Video Hardware November 5, 1990 7:25 PM
I know ASDG is looking for someone – and they're in Madison, just up the road from Chicago. Depends on what you plan to make, per year. 🙂
#1446- Devkit? Message #1601
From: Mike Koch AmigaTech Forum · Video Hardware October 7, 1990 3:08 PM
Mike, I've also been using the CygCC programs from AC, which worked great until I got the 5.10 upgrade from Lattice. After that, the ReadErrors() module no longer works properly. The error lines no longer get output to the Compiler_Window view, although it does seem to catch the errors. Just…
Library Access Message #1600
From: Alan Engebretson AmigaTech Forum · Forum Business/Help October 7, 1990 2:48 PM
I just read my latest copy of Amiga World and noticed some potentially interesting stuff in AmigaTech libraries 13 & 14, however I can not access those libraries. What gives?
Lattice/SAS C++ ?? Message #1599
From: Sylvain Duford AmigaTech Forum · Video Hardware October 7, 1990 2:00 PM
I'm looking for some info on the Lattice C++ package. Is it any good? Is it stable? Is it still supported? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Sylvain, Portage, Manitoba
#1353- Maps Message #1598
From: Khalid Aldoseri AmigaTech Forum · C Programming October 7, 1990 1:19 PM
Ash, best way is probably to download the maps in GIF format and then use a GIF viewer to see them. I've tried it and it works. Khalid.

#1448- SAS C from Workbench Message #1592
From: Khalid Aldoseri AmigaTech Forum · Video Hardware October 7, 1990 12:57 PM
Mike, one of the things I really liked about CEDPro when I changed to it was the ability to define its keys… I just cutomized it and made it feel like the editor I was using before it… well, function-key-wise, that is. (grin) Khalid.

Hi. I'm hoping somebody here can help me. I'm trying to do a LoadSeg() follwed by a CreateProc(). Basically, it doesn't work. I keep on Guruing. If I fake out a LoadSeg (re: Leo Schwabs program) it works file till my process exits, then I get a software failure. I…

Keith … I've played a lot with ISTEL and know of its frustrations. I also live in England (Welwyn Garden City) and should be able to help, although probably best directly as CServe costs quite a lot 🙂 However, I'm currently visiting with Betty Clay (SYSOP of this parish) and…
#1584 No access? Message #1586
From: Steve Pietrowicz AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade October 7, 1990 10:05 AM
We went through a forum reorganization to expand our Amiga support. You can get MOVSSP.LZH, ANTIFL.LZH, MSDOS1.LZH and POPUPM.LZH from library 11 of AmigaTech. Steve
#1567 Library Access Message #1585

MOVSSP.LZH, ANTIFL.LZH, and MSDOS1.LZH are all available in library 11 of AmigaTech. A lot of people around here use the program WHAP! to call CompuServe. It's a program that can automatically log in, get only the messages and files that you want, and then log off. It can also upload…
#No access? Message #1584

There are a few files in Libraries 13 & 14 that I would like to download, which I say in AmigaWorld Magazine. But it says that I am not authorized for those libraries? Why am I not allowd to download these files?

From: Tim Devlin AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade October 7, 1990 2:03 AM
My wife DID order the A3000 and BB through the educational package offer and CBM shipped us both of them. CBM also claims in its ads for the system that it will work with BB's! I have owned everything from a Pet to a C64 to a 128 to an…

Once I put the "path lc: add" in my startup-sequence BEFORE loadwb, the LSE icon started working correctly (previously I was doing the path in my shell-startup, but I can't remember why I put it there). I started using the icon environment on a real project tonight, and it's working…

Mike, But the A1000 has the same pinouts. I checked in the original hardware manual (the original developer documentation from 1985). Don
From: Alan Bland AmigaTech Forum · Video Hardware October 7, 1990 12:38 AM
When you use -rr to compile with registerized parameters, you MUST have a function prototype for every function you call. That means including the proto/whatever.h files (or proto/all.h if you're lazy). And, you must define prototypes for all of your functions. Set the option that requires function prototypes and you'll…
From: Alan Bland AmigaTech Forum · Video Hardware October 7, 1990 12:34 AM
I think the getcwd problem in 5.04 was a bad pragma. I never checked, but now that I understand how the pragmas work, I can easily see how a bad pragma could cause the problem Alan
#1556 A3000 tech questions Message #1572
From: Don Curtis/SYSOP AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade October 7, 1990 12:34 AM
Steve, Right…I ran an HD that way for quite a while (running a cable and power feeds out the back). I also had the drive unmounted in any case, so yes…it does work just fine. Don
To ALL: Can anyone confirm the manufacturor of the CBM 1080/1084D monitors. I know the 1084/1084S is made by Magnavox and I have heard the 1080/1084D's were made by either Hitachi or Tohsiba (spelling?). Anyone have any definite knowledge on this?

#1253- HD Recovery help. Message #1570
From: New member AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade October 7, 1990 12:22 AM
The "ReFormat" was a stupid blunder. I weformatted a tiny portion of the drive. DiskSlav managed to recover the majority of its files.

I noticed you said you were using Trump card. May I ask if it is the 2000 version? I have been "attempting" to use one with my XYXIS stuff and no go at all. GURUs and random r/w write errors to beat the band. I guess I have a bad…

From: Steve Pietrowicz AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade October 6, 1990 8:31 PM
Certain libraries here are reserved for future use. Some of the libraries and files that were here in AmigaTech and in AmigaArts were moved around when AmigaUser was created a last month. Was there anything in particular you were looking for? Steve

#1529- #SAS/C 5.10 Compiler Guru Message #1561
From: Ethan Solomita AmigaTech Forum · Video Hardware October 6, 1990 12:41 PM
With getcwd, would that be caused by a bad pragma? I'm trying to get familiar with SAS/C and the way amigatized programming works. — Ethan

Alan, one problem that I'm having with Lattice 5.1 that is probably just my stupidity is this: I'm trying to compile with registerized args. I use -rr in the lc command but I get undefined stub functions. When I do it in two steps, linking with lcr.lib amiga.lib I still…

Tim, this is primarily your dealers fault. He should have known. That's what a dealer is for. Someone posted (I think on usenet) that he had ordered the A3000 and BB via the educational discount plan and that Commodore REJECTED his order for the BB because the two didn't work…

Hi Knox! ANTIFL.LZH is a compressed file. You'll have to uncompress it using LHARC.EXE which is available in library 5 of AmigaUser. If you haven't used archiving/conpression utilities on the Amiga before, you might want to download ARCHLP.EXE, which is a tutorial on how to use them. If you need…

Let me add to what Davey said; if you have an old 2000 built for use with the Cherry keyboard but you have a newer keyboard, those two capacitors must be clipped. I have my original Cherry keyboard and it works fine. Ron
