ABasic Term Prog
Message #12881
I haven' uploaded anything for the Amiga yet Larry, as I only have Maxicomm, and it doesn't seem to want to do xmodem uploads. If I clean it up enough, I'll send it 'text' mode. I am also going to try to upload my simple 'strip' program, using binary xmodem.…
#ABasiC Program Size
Message #12880
What is the size limit for ABasiC programs? I am geting "PROGRAM TOO LARGE" at a source code size of 60100 bytes (as determined by fre(0) before and after loading) on a 512k machine. It seems that a 90k language should support a program size a little bigger than 60k.…
Intuition Structures
Message #12870
AUE CONTRAIR. ONE WOULD END UP LEARNING MUCH MUCH MORE ABOUT THE AMIGA BY LEARNING EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEEDED TO INCLUDE AND EXACTLY WHAT YOU COULD GET AWAY WITHOUT. I AGREE WITH YOU, HOWEVER. ONE DOES NOT WANT TO DO _MAIN() UNLESS ONE HAS AN AXE TO GRIND. FOR ME…

#ABasic Term Prog
Message #12854
Stop and think about what you are doing — integers are 32 bits -or 4 bytes. Think about it and the Guru error won't seem all that strange. *** There is a reply: 12925 Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
#v1.1
Message #12847
Sorry 'bout that. I remembered seeing someone say it would be out 11/15. I thought it was someone who would know, but…. *** There is a reply: 12969 Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
#Okimate-20 printer
Message #12840
If you were referring to the parallel Okimate-20 printer with white lines in the graphics printout, my manual says switch 5 is NOT used for anything. Regardless, turning switch 5 'on' did not remove the white lines and I doubt that a Rom change will either. After taking the printer…
Bob, I work in a law office. Actually a lot of law offices – word processing temp speciallizing in law (the most $, don't you know). As a result, I do most of the dirty work involved – such as diary entering, etc. If I could be of any help,…
cli help
Message #10711
The use of 0Ah to terminate character strings is a UNIX convention. "The UNIX system is unusual in its approach to representing control information, particularly its use of newlines to terminate lines. Many systems instead provide 'records', one per line, each of which contains not only your data but also…
Joe, Not sure…I'll let Randy Weiner reply to this…he's a bit closer to the front lines. Jeff Porter Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
Carlos: Don't think there's any such thing as a 13" XBR. They only come in 20 and 25" varieties. Stick with the 20", or ask Steve Ahlstrom about the monitor he's using. Given the bigger picture, you'd expect to lose some picture quality. Funny thing is, you don't and I…
Turbo PASCAL
Message #10596
I will – I would also like to talk to you soon. I represent more than myself, but would rather speak directly. Could you send me a number (business, preferably) I could call Monday? Thanks, Bob James 72325,1615 Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
#Upgrades
Message #10589
Dave, I've heard from dealers and others that MSBasic and maybe OS 1.1. is coming on November 4. Whats the scoop? Are they ready? Will they go thru the dealers or direct to owners? With documentation? Anything else you can toss in info-wise would be greatly appreciated… Joe *** There…
CLI 'EDIT'
Message #10573
Can anyone out there enlighten me as to the commands f 'EDIT'? I have the commands for ED but I'm having dificulty with 'EDIT' and my UNIX V templates are ncouragement. Thanks. Enter command, N for next message or for menu : n
When will it be out? Your guess is as good as mine. How much? Price lists I've seen say about $100. Is it worth $100? Ask a dealer for a demo and decide for yourself. It's described as an "entry" level application. Depends on your needs, wants, and LUST factor…
#SONY XBR-13
Message #10502
Bob, By now you are probably tired of answering this question but here it goes.. How does the SONY XBR 13 inch compare to the Amiga 1070 monitor. I like the fact that, as you once mentioned, the XBR has an alternate, longer lasting use. Given that there is a…
Function Libs
Message #10497
Bob, The process is fairly straight forward: Say you have a set of compiled functions funca, funcb and funcc in a file called lib1.o. Now you wish to add functions funcx and funcy to the previous set and form a library. You compile funcx and funcy into say lib2.o. Now…

Disk access
Message #10477
When I was examining an Amiga the other day, I noticed that if I had the machine up and running, and I wanted to use a new disk, all I had to do was plug it in, the OS read the directory for me, and placed the disk icons on…
