CRYSTL.ZIP
Message #97645
Hey Jeff, I uploaded a file called CRYSTL.ZIP quite a while ago. I just did a search for it and couldn't find it. Did it go thru? The file is for crystal eyes hardware are doing stereographic stuff. Ang
Gemuetlich
Message #97638
Langenscheidts Taschenwoerterbuch, English, Neubearbeitung 1990: Gemuetlich: Comfortable, cosy, snug, pleasant. While I didn't list every possible translation of the word, I don't think multiple variations qualifies it, for an instant, as "difficult to translate". The authors of Langenscheidts, I would hazard to guess, have come across much more difficult translations…
SMARTDRV
Message #97625
And you thought this thread was finished. Well it would have been but after your last comment regarding different versions of SMARTDRV I felt there was still some confusion regarding the use of SMARTDRV. As a result I contacted Microsoft and apparently the default settings for the various versions since…
John, It was an item under the "What's New" sign-on message. Apparently CServe has put together a CD on stuff?? It is not much money and has the obligitory $10.00 usage credit. I forget the go command but it is probably "GO CD" You order it from the CompuStore. Fred
Gee, I dunno, I think the Comics RoundTable is pretty slick, if I do say so myself (says COMICS-ASST of GEnie ). And their SF section is second to none, with over a gross of professional SF novellists, actors, producers, etc. on-line at last count. Speaking of Lancaster, I HAVE…
Marion wants us to project a unified image. I am on GEnie though, and my name there is "COMICS-ASST."
What's this Compuserve CD about?
PMJI Here's wishing mom, dad & daughter well and hope that she sleeps thru the night and doesn't cry too much.

Your BBS Protocals???
Message #97563
Murph': Thanks for your note. Sorry about your awful connects, I think you may be right about the modem. >>Can you Recommend a better Modem? I always thought US Robotics stuff was very high quality. Saw a 14.4 internal sportster at sams for $150. What's the best buy in an…
Steven, Yes getting into the book further I noticed the contributions of Alan and John. Nice job all.
Robots
Message #97492
I seem to remember someone talking about Robots and other Hobby type gear. It occured to me I've got two fully functional Heith/Zenith Factory Assembled Hero Jr. Robots that are just sitting here Charging on their transformers most of the time…. If anyone is interested in one or both of…
John, I had been rendered electronically mute for the past few days due to a modem problem. I finally get online and find your great message waiting for me. Thanks a lot! We worked hard to make Inside 3DS as good as possible. I'd also like to add that Alan…
ThanX Michele & Martin, She's pretty….looks nothing like me..this is a good point gh
Michele, that's great news! Congratulations Garry and I hope mother and daughter are doing well.

Yo Joe, My software doesn't reset mess. numbers. I have to go in manually and do it & since it's all LD for me & I don't know the mess. number to reset to, I would appreciate, if & when you have the time to put in a lib (which…
#Garry's baby
Message #97420
A big congratulations to Garry Hargreaves, who had a baby girl two weeks ago. (Okay, his wife did it, but Garry did all the worrying.) Way to go Garry! Hopefully she will not inherit your physique. Michele
Judy: Right you are and many thanks. PC Connection is staffed with some excellent folks. I think they're in New Hampshire, this would explain it as I believe Ted Boardman is also from NH. :-} I had the program in my hands and installed in less than 24 hours! Bob
Illuminator Pro
Message #97357
>> I got my Illuminator Pro 4meg card today…
Fred, Very intresting observations. I agree about the "Net", but there's a lot of information going throught it. 3DS Bashing, BAH! Only by idiots that don't know what they're talking about. Nobody I know or have ever heard of that bought 3DS didn't like it. I'm sure there's a few…
>>On another note, isn't it interesting that this generation (twenty year old's) have grown up with Star Trek and are psychologically prepared to meet aliens from other worlds, while at the same time the space shuttles are not capable of geo-synchronous orbit. Most curious world we live in
John, Good points, all. I tend to use the "C" (catch-up) key code alot. I find the 'Net' to be rather borish as compared to this cyberspace haven. This forum seems to be alot more focused then the newsgroups. I need only point to the recent message about 3DS bashing.…
PC Connection has it available for a discount – I think they are selling it for around $550. Judy
Fred, >> We may be the first generation to see our childhood fantasies come to life…
John, How many MIPS were the Mainframes running at ten years ago? This industry is unbelieveable. We may be the first generation to see our childhood fantasies come to life. Dick Tracey wristwatches, Lost in Space (that poor cosmonaut), TV Walls, automated kitchens (ala Jetsons) these things are already here…
have fun, i miss the classicism, the East Wing galleries, the smithsonian… i haven't ever been to the vietnam memorial ever so this is an important trip for me. but you're to young to remeber that era i just realized. The family Kinkos at UCI is going to have Internet…
I don't know about the Lincoln Memorial. I'm planning on spending a bunch of very late nights out. Evan
Fred, Phar Lap FrontRunner is apparently only designed for Windows. I guess they figured NT didn't need it. I don't follow Microsoft's naming scheme. Somehow that doesn't really suprise me. I imagine it is Cairo Illinois but then why would they back track from Dayonta to Cleveland to Boise. Next…
John, You know I questioned myself on the Gates name for quite a while. I must know a Gary Gates, of course, you are right it is Bill. I must be aging faster then I think. That might be part of the philosophy, but Cairo(?), is that Illinois or Eygpt.…
Joseph, I just now downloaded and unzipped the FEBTXT.ZIP file. It worked fine for me. It's possible that you have a problem that I ran into but it went away without me knowing exactly what I did. I have two machines, and one would download, then be unable to unzip…
John, Pharlap for Windows should actually be called DOS for Windows as it provides a stable DOS environment for working in Windows amoung other things. Basically its a shell for launching Windows apps with an emphasis on full DOS in Windows support. No floating windows which for me is a…
Is that the case? I don't have much time for any other on-line "fun" other than good-'ole ASOFT, here, but it sure makes sense. I'll slightly revise your sports car analogy and say it's probably like a bunch of kids comparing *stolen* sports cars that they have no licence for,…
What's PharLap for Windows?
>> I would look like a better candidate if I know how to use 3DS. Steve. For obvious reasons, I can't disconnect our hardware lock and bring all the software to your place. That would shut me down completely. I've got some heavy duty work all this week and through…
>> [Ridley Scott's] done some real dogs lately. "Black Rain" and "Someone to Watch Over Me" were pretty weak, "Thelma and Louise" (his, I think) was all right, but not his stylized look. I imagine it will be tough for him to ever top "Blade Runner" and "Alien".
Well Phil its quite an achievment, and it cost at least a year of my life just to get into a position where I coul do what I needed to, along with alot of pain and aggrevation. Now things are so much better. Your book and 3DS and you're good…
John, Thanks for the kind words about I3D. When Steve & I planned and organized the book it was exactly for what you are describing. The last thing we ever wanted to do was a paraphrase of the (already quite good) manuals. As for giving up a year of one's…
I got mine directly from the Pyros Group but I understand it is selling at most major bookstores. The publisher is New Riders Publishing, Steven Elliott et al. TR 897.7.I54 -JE
Isn't it funny that the majority of these folks over Internet complaining about 3D Studio don't own _any_ real modeling/rendering package? It's like a bunch of school kids comparing Porshes and Jaguars and Ferraris… Like any of them really knows what they're talking about…
So who IS the "primary user of the forum"?? -Alan Iglesias
People who arbitrarily attack 3DS (or any other well-thought out program or concept for that matter) are usually insecure about their own methods or thoughts. Attacking other entities can help to justify or give some meaning to their own methods (or so they think). If they weren't deathly afraid of…
Joseph, With longer downloads you just increase the chances of errors unless you have one of the newer hardware correcting modems. These new modems are now cheap enough that everyone using the phone lines for file transfers should have one. Just the security of the hardware error correction (which actually…
jeez ev…i just got off the uci connection after about 2 hours and my head is dizzy and then, here you are way up ahead! i just sat and read on line info about veronica and gophering so from what you and they say…i got the concept and am ready…
TRP BBS
Message #97022
I saw your message on our BBS the other day. I had just started the board up, so although the files were there, the directory of areas was still pretty much blank. That's fixed now. We're sort of under construction, but there are still about 500 excellent mesh files on-line…
Rachel: If you can telnet through your UCI access number, you can find gophers all over the place. Here are some good ones: gopher.micro.umn.edu veronica.scs.unr.edu gopher.ncsa.uiuc.edu gopher.tc.cornell.edu gopher.psc.edu gopher.sdsc.edu gopher.micro.umn.edu gopher.uiuc.edu wx.atmos.uiuc.edu bigcheese.math.scarolina.edu athena.sdsu.edu You don't need a client Gopher program (such as NSCA Mosaic) unless you have a direct…
There are always going to be folks who attack things, Izak. Just take a look at Bosnia, South Africa, Israel, Rawonda, Korea, China etc (this week). I've always taken the course of letting our demo reels speak for ourselves, so we don't really need "defending". Let the spears fly! 3DS…
#Bad CRC
Message #96994
I've had a lot of problems with files I've downloaded from you folks for the last couple of weeks. About 50 percent of the downloads have bad CRC when I decompress them; I've had to download them again. Last nite I pulled down febtxt.zip and a couple of other items-…
John were can i get a copy of this book? Tony
Borland BBS #: (408) 439-9096. Check their forum here as well (GO BORLAND). I hate their tools but I like some of their custom controls (the only reason I have it).
Steven, I'm sorely tempted to really jump on your request to borrow 3DS but I'll leave that one alone. (I think that's a no-no!) But what really gets me is that you think you can borrow a package like 3DS and learn it in time to walk into a potential…
