Message #134360
Saul, Any of the Epson series printers will work fine with the Amiga, as will any other 'normal' printer. Don

Message #134358
Don't be sorry. That was an accurate description of the situation. One of the better and less blantantly biased ones we've seen around here lately.

Message #134356
My comment was made more in jest then anything else. The problem I had was in editing the message I'd just written. I did a search and replace and it appeared to work until I previewed the message. No correction had been made. The editor I'm using is the one…

Goodbye, old forum. I feel like I did when Crosley Field closed. Don W.
#134230-#TID compiler
Message #134349
Well, I'd like to put in my 3 cents worth. Before TDI came out with the Amiga M2 compiler, I was forced to use C, which was alright, but I was not happy with it. When TDI M2 came out for amy, I was very excited and used it for…

Well, at least Benchmark M2 works with your debugger! (and I use it all the time. I can't stop raving over your product, Vic! MetaScope's the best symbolic debugger I've seen!) – Steve –

Thanks so much for the help, I think I will go somewhere and take a look at them although, the ST sounds like it might die in a couple of years, (hope there arn't any ST fans hanging around!). If I need any more help, I'll start our conversation up…

Hello Don! Thank you for responding to my message. I just got this Excuse the unwanted characters, I need to figure out how to edit (how do I delete the L?). Oh well, I will be going over to AMIGATECH and AMIGAVENDOR to see where to hang out. So if…

Copy Protection
Message #134328
The best way to 'vote' for (or against) anything in the marketplace is with your pocketbook. If the preceeding statement is true, then it behooves each of us who disapprove of CP to NOT buy products that are protected. That's the best and fastest way to make the point. /^o^\

Kurt, CIS has 400,000 users or so – Amiga Forum 10,000+. You can always type GO FEEDBACK to complain about not having a local CIS node. Also, check GO PHONES frequently as CIS is always adding new access numbers. Marlene

Ok, what the hell gives. All over this country I am seeing messages that have to do with WB1.3. I'm seeing startup-sequences that call commands like resident, pure (small example)and the like that Amiga developers are getting to use. Now I don't mind so much that they are getting the…

Portable?

Mark, Have you ever seen a program called DISK+ from PCSG? It interfaces the M100 with another computer so you can use the drives of the other computer via the F-Keys of the M100, real slick!…Dave
CON: help?
Message #134311
Scott, WShell is one of my commercial products — a much-enhanced command shell with resident commands, built-in commands, aliases/abbreviations, configurable prompt and titlebar variables, U*IX-style piping, an ARexx interface, and so on. If you'll send me your address I'd be happy to send you a flyer. -Bill

Message #134310
Mark: INFO Magazine #20 (May/June 1988) carried this story (p. 100): PORTABLE AMIGA! We've just found out that a portable Amiga *is* under development, but it *won't* come from Commodore. Dynamac, a third-party company that builds Macintosh portables, has begun R&D on a portable Amiga based on the A500. Our…

Paul, Try them at 1-416-537-7222. (I hope that's not the number you've been trying as it's the only one I have). I too have been trying to get through to them as they say I owe them money, but I can't get them to call me back (you will get…

I currently have 4 amiga's around. I am attempting to use a Mimetic's AmiGen GenLock. The GenLock works well (very well) on my Amiga 1000, and 500. I also have 2 B2000's. The genlock functions correctly on one of the B2000, but not at all on the other one. Just…

Message #134305
Joel, I am very interested, as long as it truly is pd/shareware. I'll definitely put it thru its paces, and let you know what I think. I still need the printer ability, but I am curious – its the first Amiga VT220 emulator I've heard of. Ron

Good question. I don't remember what was said in the article, but for some reason somewhere around the end of the year seems likely.. + Phil +
Dr T's
Message #134285
Last time I spoke to the programmer he was planning on developing a module to read/write IFF files. He was also planning to do a module to allow KCS to drive the Amiga's internal sound channels. I realize that magazine lead times make life difficult, but I do wish writers…

In case anyone forgot, I'm the person who asked the original question that started this thread off n' running! I guess my main question at this point is this: If I wrote a program that relied on arp.library (NOT THE WHOLE ARP COMMAND SET… just the library) residing in your…

I understand what you }isay about if being difficult to tell between a compiler bug and a library bug. Our new product will be aimea the non-expert market so I hope it will be more to your liking. Phil Camp.

Painter Programs
Message #134256
First let's clear up one misconception you have. IFF and HAM are orthogonal to each other. HAM is a display mode, IFF is a representation of (I presume you mean ILBM here) a display on an external file. I own both DeluxePaint II and Digi-Paint. I have used DeluxePaint substantially…
#TID compiler
Message #134253
Phil, I'd like to take this opportunity to make my position perfectly clear to you. I am not an expert M2 programmer, and have no time to fight compiler bugs. Because of this, and because I have spent money on both a developer version and an upgrade to same, without…

There isn't one. There will be a Navigator-type program for the Amiga tho. (TapCIS clone? With that horrendous user interface? No thanks!)
#134241-#No RUN
Message #134248
Well, that's my point Larry. If you don't like Lisp, that shouldn't be the only way to do IPC, ditto with anything else, including ARexx. None of my comments should be construed as criticism of ARexx's performance, which I am sure is probably excellent, considering who wrote it – I…

Nevin, Set the recorder to LINE video. Most recorders have a switch that switches between TUNER and LINE video (sometimes called CAMERA). Also, make sure you are on the video IN plug, not the video OUT. Don
#No RUN
Message #134241
Scott, ARexx may not implement IPC in what you consider the 'right way', but it does provide IPC for any program, and more so if the programs have an ARexx interface. It does this now, and does it well. As far as i know, there are no other packages that…
#This editor
Message #134235
Erv, I'm not sure what you mean. You have a choice of two editors here, as well as many different editors on your Amiga. The editors here are of two different capabilities, and EDIT is the more powerful of the two. You do need to learn it of course, like…
