Your Point-Of-Sale software in AMigaVision sounds interesting!! Betty
Did you say $5 per HOUR for the 900 number? Most of them charge by the minute – and at $5 a MINUTE, boy, would that ever be costly!! $5 an hour is cheaper than long distance calls, though. Betty
I don't really object to it either to be honest. I think it will keep the flow of calls who are calling to find out how to put a picture on the screen to a minimum as that is clearly documented in the manual. -mark=
$5/hour? That's a pretty good price for support! Steve
Mark, In re the 900 number: If it's only $5/HOUR..that's quite reasonable…I wouldn't object to that at all. Don

[ continuation ] marginal speed improvements and a bit more disk space. It also makes these floppies harder to read to those who do not have 2.0 or want to mess with mounting a FFS floppy under 1.3. Video Computer Resources has gone into Beta testing with our Point-of-Sale software.…

Message #3162
I did get a few answers and a few scratches on the head. I called CATS today. In case you folks were not aware, Kathy Godfrey is the contact person at Commodore for bugs in AmigaVision. John Campbell is her immediate supervisor, (in charge of the AmigaVision 2.0 project with…

Helloooo….
Message #3155
Thanks, Bob. I knew about the DiskChange, and I've heard a bit about the RigidDiskBlock, but its purpose had passed me by. That makes lots of sense, and I had wondered what had changed that made the difference. The thing I keep wondering about is that I read a great…
another Qmouse surpruse
Message #119044
Don, I think I found a second Qmouse caused or aggravated problem; for a long time now, the 'software' clock on my Ami (as shown by Screenx or whap) has gained about one minute per one hour of real time elapsed. I've just noticed that with Qmouse's screen shuffler turned…
Ethan: A friend from Japan sent me a set of OS disks which not only altered the system fonts, but made them entirely Japanese! Along with that he sent a MAC Japanese telecomm setup and word processor. It all works just fine with AMAX! (i.e. ALL menus, etc., on the…
Oops sent that to the wrong Mike, Guess I better work on understanding Ci$ first
Don't be such a legal begal. Sheesh next thing you will want us to attempt to decipher the weirdnesses of Bix?
Betty, Thanks! It was about 7 weeks that I've been off line. I have been in SE Asia and Bali, it was challenging and interesting. I'll go back. Good to be home, however. …Dave
I really don't want to alter the foint that way – Just need the Arabic System Script from Khalid. Tryg
Mike, please do. Always glad to have new versions of good stuff uploaded. .Betty
I know someone who claims he managed to alter the mac system font. It wasn't a pretty sight. It took a lot of hacking directly into the system. Of course, I try not to follow the Macintrash line too much! 8) — Ethan
Make sure that you can upload it here – C= is very tight about uploading their stuff to places other than Bix. In any case, SetPatch2.0 should more or less do the trick for ya, but you should eventually get the latest from C=. -Mike
Welcome back, Davey. It's been a LONG time! .Betty
Mike: I downloaded SetPatch2.0 from Bix. If it's wanted, I could upload it here. -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
36.143 is the latest at the moment. From what I've heard, it fixes some file system bugs, and a few other things. There's a SetPatch2.0 floating around which fixes most of the 36.141 problems, but I'm not sure how you'd get that (call C=, I suppose). -Mike
Thanks for the info, I will check with my dealer and see what happens. But it does seem CBM should mail out information on updates since most of us do register our machines when we send in the warranty cards.
Hmmm…. I wonder what the KickStart 36.143 corrects, mine is 36.141. My WorkBench rev number is the same. Now if I just had 10 mmegs more harddrive space like SOME people have… 🙂 (grin)
#Dirutil on 2.0?
Message #118707
Khalid, I've been out of the country (Bali) for 7 weeks. Did your new requestor come out whilst I were gone? …Dave
Well, it is not _urgent_ but I need a foreign set of system software and the example in my doc is set up for Arabic (I can't seem to alter the system font to a nonroman font). I just need the Apple – label system disks (In the US version…
Tryg, sure.. no problem. I can't do anything now, though, till I get back home. Remind me of it in a couple of weeks, ok? Otherwise if it's really urgent I could get someone to pick up a copy and send it. Khalid.
As a dealer we always check new machines for updates in the software. The last batch of machines (A3000) came with a newer kickstart 1.43. Your dealer may have it and not know it! -mark=
#Mac Arabic Sys Software
Message #118618
Khalid, I realize that this is the wrong forum to ask this, but I would really appreciate it if you could get me a copy of Apple's Arabic Macintosh System Software. I am unable to get it here as it only available in the Middle East (Even for a developer)…
Just as an aside, I picked up my A3000 one week ago and have Kickstart version 36.143 and WB 36.68. It also came with a 50 meg HD instead of the 40 meg that I expected (grin).
#When 2.0 for 2000???
Message #118572
Every so often I call the store where I got my A3000 and ask about any 2.0 updates, the answer is allways 'we haven't had one yet'. I bought this 3000 the last week of June and has Kickstart version 36.141 and Workbench version 36.68. If the latest version 2.0…
John, I'm not sure why that problem occurs. It's fairly common, several folks have reported it. And I've noted nothing in common other than it's opening the color window that causes problems. I've never seen it occur the other way around (color ok, mono messed up). Don
Don Yes I was aware of this. I have been using Rad: in a minimal configuration (just enough to reboot and remount my hard drives and Vd0:) and use Vd0: as a replacement for Ram: I have a A1000 with a Lucas/Frances 4Meg and a A2058 Ram board in a…
I recently received a PD Basic Compiler that I was going to get working but it kept asking for two additional math files that I couldn't locate on any of my disk…thanks for the help
Thanks Don, I appreciate the reply…all is well but don't really know how I got into this mess in the first place. John
I'm sure that the latest version of ASDG's VD0: would be in their library over in AmigaVendor. .Betty
I don't know if the older version of ASDG's VD0: is here in the library. The difference in the latest one is it's smaller by 4k or so (not a big deal) Plus, its supposed to clean itself more often than the older version. Since I haven't run the latest…
Well, it sounds as if it OUGHT to be a record number of hunks! I wonder how much actual code is left once you take that hunk overhead away. Not to mention the relocation info it engenders.
#Lots of hunks
Message #118237
I note that Innovatronic's Program Module Dismemberer reports that "setclock" is comprised of no fewer than 17 hunks. Is this a record for a 4884 byte file? THol() { cout
MATH LIBRARIES
Message #118233
In other words, you already own the mathffp.library objects. They are in your Amiga's ROM. The mathffp.library is documented in the ROM Kernel Library, page 549ff. What are you trying to accomplish, and in what language? THol() { cout
MATH LIBRARIES
Message #118227
It is built into kickstart.

problem with VD0:
Message #118180
John, RAD: has one distinct advantage over vd0:…under AmigaDOS v1.3 and above, you can boot FROM RAD: rather than a hard drive or floppy drive. To do this, you need an A1000 with 1.3 KS, or an A2000 or 500 with the 1.3 ROM installled. Don

Janus error
Message #118177
John, Remove the file sys:pc/system/sidecarsettings.table wait a few seconds for the disk to update completely re-boot All should now be well, but you will have lost your saved settings for the PC Windows. You'll have to re-select them and save them. Don
Thank you! It's about time somebody has the same problem! Everybody I talked to at my last user group meeting couldn't get it to work on a 500 either, but everyone here seems to have gotten it to work, except you and I. Maybe nobody has 500s anymore? Is there…
Bruno, ARexx V1.10 is still my current release. There's a slightly different version that Commodore is shipping with Amiga 3000s under a licensing agreement. I expect to send out an update to current ARexx customers later on this year, so if you've registered your copy you'll receive a notice (or…
What is the latest version of Arexx, I have 1.10 and was wondering if I'm behind? Bruno Kochan 76665,376
I had the same problems when the 2kb version of VD0 first came out! Finally after some talking to Perry, I came to the conclusion the the latest VD0 will NOT work on an Amiga 500 with 1 meg of ram (512k chip and 512k of C00000 semi-fast memory) Plain…
I think I can hang on, but I'm starting to chain smoke and stare at the calendar. I wanna play! Thanks for the response, and I'm glad it sounds so optimistic. Don Weed
Tom, Thanks for your response. I played with 2.0 once in a store when I got my monitor (stores are tough to get to where I live). I loved it dearly, loved the look of it, the extra features, the high resolution — everything! I know the Beta versions have…
I know about the 3000 and AmigaVision (have AmigaVision, dream about the 3000). I didn't know networking was late (jitter!). The replies, and there are several, give me hope for September, but I don't think I'll run and buy Windows 3 if it's late. Don Weed
Thanks, Betty. From all I've seen and heard about 2.0, it feels like Christmas is coming — hence the impatience. Don Weed
Sounds excellent, though. Thanks!
