Chris, No – I don't know all of the reasons, but mostly, there was simply not enough money to keep publishing. Several setbacks were just too much for them to overcome. The final blow came when the magazine was offered for sale, it was bought by an English company, and…

Mark, If the A500 is stealing signifigant sales from your attempted A2x00 series sales than one of two things is happening (more likely a combination of both). Either your dealership is not attracting the appropriate customers to purchase the A2x00 series, or your dealership is doing a poor selling job.…
Workbench has nothing to do with it. Have 2 interlace and 1 non-interlace screen up… and you'll duplicate the problem.
Harry, I tried it…having the WB up didn't make any difference. Don
Ben, If you had said, "for the bug to show up, you've got to load the WB" or some such…I'd have replied differently. I presumed you were just suggesting to me that I use the WB also. However, based on what Harry said, I did in fact just load up…
Steve, I'm not saying the problem isn't CBM's…I'm saying I can't duplicate it. Harry left me a message earlier saying he thinks that WB must be up and running for the problem to show up. I'll try that later and see what happens. I don't normally have the WB up…so…
Harry, That's very possible…I'll try it later on and see if having WB up makes a difference. Don
Bill, Ok…there's obviously some difference…I've never seen the problem, and last night…I specifically tried to re-create it. I had 3 screens overlapping on the CRT. 2 interlaced, one non-interlaced. I switched back and forth between them, "fronted" them in rotation and so forth. No problems. Yes, part of each screen…
Um, I beleive it's targetted in the same time frame as the AmigaWOrld one… shoul dbe interesting, neh? BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]
I hope to see it soon. BTW, I mentioned to my dad that I was speaking to a writer of the late Transactor (you, that is) and he wanted to know why tthe magazine folded. Do you know why? Chris
Chris, I have no odea, and I'm not sure that the price has been set yet. The AmigaWorld Tech Journal will come with a disk included each month, so it will probably cost a bit more than AW. It costs to make a disk and mail it out. So -…
It will be interesting to see if they do one. Have you heard much about their plans? When could we expect to see the first issue? Betty

Martin, I frequently use JRComm, and although your description was not specific enough for me to be certain, the most likely problem with downloading I can think of would be an incorrect d/l path. In the General Parameters screen there is a text requester for the path that JRComm uses…
Gotcha BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]
Ok, you dont' have the problem. :^) Good! BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]
Yes, I know…. we were talking about OS bugs, and finding them. You said you couldn't find them. I suggested you load the portion of the OS you don't normally use, so that you could experience the REST of what CBM supplies to the users. Never mind. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]
Don, The problem is CBM's and is demonstrable. Have 2 interlaced screens and 1 non-interlaced screen up — then flip 'em – you'll guru. Thre is a PD program available that fixes the problem (I forgot the name but it's been in my startup-sequence for a couple of years. I…
Don – I _think_ the screen-to-front bug (with on non-IL and two IL) is a bug in Workbench, which you wouldn't see as you don't use it. I use Workbench and I see it whenever I'm not careful enough 8^). I _have_ found that I can have that one-and-two setup…
You should try and work out the problems with downloading over on the Practice Forum. You can practice downloading things over there, and it's free! Connect charges are suspended when you're in that forum, so you can take all the time you want to figure out how to download. Steve
How much do you think the subscription will cost? I am already receiving Amiga World. Do you think they will send out free copies of the first iissue to Amiga World subscribers? There is a magazine called Amazing Amiga. It sometimes has quite a lot of information. I was looking…
Ben; That may well be true, I seldom have less than two interlaced screens up at one time. 73, bill
Don; I am inclined to think so….. Most of the gurus that I have seen in recent years have all occured when switching screens. I am running conman and wshell. I have recently started trying MachIII and it MAY have increased the frequency slightly but I'm not sure. I do…
Ben, Oh…again for clarity..that PCWindow runs on it's own screen in 8 colors. Don
Ben, Ok…did that too…while on-line here. I've got the 640×400 terminal running, behind it a 640×400 CLI and then opened a PCWindow (640×200). I flipped between them…no problems, I moved them each down a bit so all 3 were visible at once and clicked between them. Popped the non-interlace screen…
Ben, Why load something I don't want or need? It's an option, one that I choose not to use. Don
Amazing is also talking about running a tech mag up the flagpole. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

Hey Don… try one non-interlace, and two interlace. My memory is prodding me that that's how one wakes that particular insect up. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

I *think* that bug may be 2 interlace screens and one non interlace screen… I truly don't remember. But it's _there_ BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

Mark, I don't live in a glass house, and I'm good at catching stones, from which follows I don't mind of you (or anyone else) throws them. I don't write bugfree code, nor do I profess to. Nor is it relevant. And Mark, as the primary designer of most of…

Perhaps you should load WorkBench. It is part of the OS, you know. :^) And those crashes are well known, so it certainly isn't me. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]
Chris, AmigaWorld has announced that they will have the AmigaWorld Tech Journal, beginning in March. I know that they are hard at work getting it ready, and I think you'll find it quite technical. I've heard rumors of others, but I know that this one will appear. Betty

Bill, I don't know what to tell you. Right now, I've got a 640×400 CLI up in the background (and thus in interlace) and in the foreground I'm running a terminal program in 640×200 (thus non-interlace). I just jumped back and forth between the screens a bunch of times…no problem.…

Ben, I wonder.. would you appreciate the harrasment if say your work was the target of criticism like your own? Perhaps if users were to rake you over the coals for bugs in the paint system for HAM-E, and perhaps the AVT software? Have you risen so high that you…
Thanks Betty. Sometimes I don't know what I'd do without you all. Since I'm still having trouble D/LOADing it might prove useless. But I'm going to keep trying. Thanks again MARTIN

I miss that magazine, too. The contents were mainly for techies, but it was interesting to have a technical manual for Commodore computers at our finger tips. I had just begun to receive the new Amiga Transactor when it went. Anyhow, I hope that'll find another replacement soon. Are there…

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

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…

I DLed VD0: from ASDG's library in AmigaVendor. It works exactly as I want. According to my Quarterback HD backup SW, which displays all hard drives on the system (those not scrammed on boot, nor removable, like floppies), VD0:'s driver is like a HD, and therefore is not touched during…
