Hello Rick, 1) I'll check up on what's happening with your disks tomorrow. 2) If your friend didn't get the coupons, I'd guess that he didn't send in his registration card. I believe that in order to get the coupons you needed to send in your registration card and proof…
#Opal Paint, Processor
Message #166176
Hi Martin, Had a couple questions for you about Opalvision. 1) I wanted to get my Opal Paint disks updated instead of downloading the updated version. I Called Opalvision and was instructed that I could send in my disks to get them updated. I did so. After sending them it…
Time Tracker/Keep
Message #166123
Thanks for the info on TimeKeep it sounds closer to what I am looking for. I just downloaded it and I'll check it out and let you know. Rick Figley 73537,420
Michael, I did wonder where the heck release 2 went, but since it basically works, I wasn't complaining. All of my problems are in the plotting area, and I don't use that much any more. It'd be nice if it were free, but I'll hold my breath (and my VISA…

Childrens Software
Message #166069
I have an early Amiga 500 that I let my kids use. I have experienced trouble finding local software sources and am leery of buying mail order without some advice from those who are experienced with a particular software title. I need a mail order source for children's educational software.…
Brian, I was told last year that, due to them not releasing Release 2 for Amiga, that we would get the upgrade for free. When I talked to the man (Jose Korpus) a week or two ago that he "thought" we would still be getting the free upgrade. Since I…
HI. I am using TimeTracker as one of my 'bootup' programs. I am only using this for a schedual/nag type of utility though. I have come across a program that may be of some help to you: TimeKeep ——– —————————–(From the docs)————————– TimeKeep is a time-clock utility for keeping track…
You'll find MUIDEV.LHA in the Libraries library of AmigaTech Forum.
#muixxdev.lha
Message #166034
Hi! Does anyone know where I can find muixxdev.lha? I have the mui21usr.lha but it seems I also need the above file. I would appreciate any help. Thanks Barry ** Barry Balderston AMIGA 2000/2.1 ** ** 2144 Golf Links Road, Sierra Vista, AZ 85635 **
Michael, did Maple Waterloo give you any idea on the upgrade cost?
>>When you refer to the "Test editor" are you refering to the >>journal/diary capability? Yes, the "Call Notes", "Notepad", "To-Do" and "Scheduler" are all just editing windows with scrolling capability. In fact, they are all identical except the scheduler which opens its window with a time line like this: 8:00…

Thanks for the info, I was almost ready to buy it but now I'm not so sure. When you refer to the "Test editor" are you refering to the journal/diary capability? Also, is your version 1.1? Not that it really matters except that my information tells me that 1.1 has…

#Maple
Message #165760
I called Maple Waterloo Software to ask about the progress of Release 3 of Maple V. The man told me it is scheduled now for November release. He went on to tell me that future support of Amiga would be dependent on how the CBM situation works itself out, which…
Laurie, I don't have any other details … why don't you ask him? His user id is 75166,2531 -sja
Malcolm – I guess I made a poor attempt at pointing out the irony of discussing a legal point when the organization in question is in a different country than my current residence. Besides, I'm a Joseph Heller fan. – Rob.. on Amiga via AutoPilot
The VoRecOne won't even come close to doing what your friend would like to do with it. It has to be trained by the person who is trying to use it, and it would take a *really* long time to get it to function even very very very crudely. It's…
Richard — thanks for your note. — Dan

QB 6.0.1 Upgrade Patch
Message #165567
Does ANYONE have the Quarterback 6.0.1 patch they could U/L here? It was on the Central COast/New Horizons forum just before they went belly-up, and I didn't get it. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Phil Combs
David, Thanks for your reply. I am currently using a form created on my PC Wordperfect to log my daily activities. Other than scheduling which I know it does, I would like to be able to enter my daily activities and categorize them as well as calculating the amount of…
Dan, VOREC will not do what you have in mind. Do you remember the famous "Clapper" advertised on TV a few years back. You plugged it into the wall socket and connected a light or what have you to it. Clap your hands … lights on. Clap them again….lights off.…

Rob, Gold Disk lives, moves and has its being in the province of Ontario, Canada. What's to figure? Malcolm
I have Time Tracker, but I can't say I'm an expert at using it. Shoot me a question and I'll try to answer it (I can always look through the manual). David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407

#Khalids Transputer Bd
Message #165425
Steve, You mentioned in the Turbo Calc thread that Khalid had the Tranputer board released recently. Any more info?? Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Well, I'm interested if Dan doesn't want to try it! I'll offer the $50 if you pay the shipping. Let me know and we can make the arrangements. Bob Comer Cheyenne, Wyoming U.S.A.
Ernie, Okay, I'll send it to you tonight. It's pretty simple — I'm no ARexx guru either 8-{) — and is fairly self-documenting. Let me know if you have any problems or questions. The script just selects a sound file at random and passes its name to another program to…
Dan, VoRecOne was published by Impulse (they are in AmigaVendor) about 3 years ago. I do not believe it is availbel anymore. I got the package on impulse (pun intended!), it sounded cool and was around $150. It comes as a hardware software combo, the hardware plugs into the right…
Malcom – Please do, and share them if all parties are willing. – Rob.. on Amiga via AutoPilot
Michael – > I wonder if someone ever bothered to figure out what the legal position > is in cases like this. Unfortunately (for the consumer), someone has – from the publisher's (Gold Disk's, in this case) perspective, anyway. The fine print of a Gold Disk licensing agreement says: "Program…
Ernie, There is "MAGSEL.LHA" in AmigaUser that will do the job for you, but you need MUI to make it work. I use it on my A3000 with OS3.1 with no problems. It works with WBPattern in OS3.1. There is also "BACKDROPS20.LHA" which works nicely with NickPrefs in OS2.x and…

Alex, In fact it's very realistic. A 15% royalty on a software product that sells for $100 is pretty good. A book author usually gets between 10 and 12% of the "wholesale" price of a book. If it's a hardbound book that sells for $40 retail, the wholesale price will…
I would love to have your ARexx script. I suspected someone had done it, but being an ARexx-boob myself, it was beyond me. (I know that many won't believe that, but it's true.) Usenet: Ernie_Gorrie@mindlink.bc.ca Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada
Ernie, I wrote a very simple ARexx program that will play a sound file randomly selected from ny directory of sound files. If you'd like, I'll mail it you or post it. Darron
Steve — How well does it work. My colleague has dozens of taped interviews. Instead of transcribing them, he would like to find a software program that would do it for him. It might be adequate even if it only functions crudely. That would allow him to scan the text…
Michael, Clearly there's a large difference between publishing good authors and serving customers. FWIW, I did the manual addendum for pp3 and had to finally go there and say, "I know it's out now. Can I have a copy please?" So I understand your point. Malcolm
I was just out in Victoria and visited with them. Chris said, "Hey, we can exchange email addresses." But we forgot to do it! My guess is that they're on something like mindlink in BC but I'll have to find out. Malcolm

#WB Startup Pic Utility
Message #165272
A little while ago, I thought I saw a file in AmigaUser that provided a randomly selected WB backdrop file upon startup. I can't find it now. I remember that it was uploaded in August 1994 and that the name started with "WBP". Can anyone give me help finding it?…
#Want Sound Startup Util
Message #165271
I'm interested in knowing if anyone has the following kind of startup utility. I want to have my (WB21.04) A2000 play a randomly selected IFF sound file at startup from a specific directory. Right now I have a line in my user-startup file to play a specific file, but I…

Michael, I missed the parent to your message to Dan Stets, but I own (a copy) VoRecOne. It was published by Impulse (the Imagine people). While it is still somewhat supported there has been no updates in quite some time. The copy I have is for sale, if interested, it…

Oh well, another one to add to the list. OS3.1 brought us no colour with PPage, another fax, as usual no reply… I wonder if someone ever bothered to figure out what the legal position is in cases like this. The licence agreement does not seem to leave much possibility…
Malcolm, While HyperBook may be a good program, I am getting severe indigestion whenever the name GoldDisk pops up on my screen. No matter what they are publishing for whatever platform, I've had it with them. I know that this is not fair to the authors of some good programs…

Alexander Wiggert writes (about shareware): "Yes, but there's some idealistic idea behind it. Like that it's affordable, that the feedback between the programmer and the customer is much better, faster and more effective, that you can try _before_ you buy, etc." I can certainly vouch for all of that with…
