PO Message #43398
From: Marlene Zenker The Amiga Forum · Off the Cuff December 11, 1986 10:13 PM
Raymond, calm down. Take Bri's advice and get in touch with Feedback. Also, even though this is after the fact, you should try to download only at late hours (or early morning hours) when there are considerably less users on the system. There's a file in DL1 called SAVMON.HLP -…

Larry, I'm going to use DVII and a color camera…no use in getting the B&W now since their new software filters out the grainy stuff caused by the color camera. Thanks tho for the info. Marlene

Jeff, one other thing, seems that the only people I have heard of who received upgrade cards from EA were unprotected disk owners. Is that true, and if so – why? Marlene

From: Marlene Zenker The Amiga Forum · Hot News & Rumors December 9, 1986 9:42 PM
Jeff, a friend of mine called EA the other day and they told him $57 for unprotected. Is that for a protected AND unprotected disks? Or was it just mis-information. Hope they send him a refund if what they said was wrong! Marlene

Thanks for the info Larry. Seems the best bet is a used security camera (the ones used in banks, stores, etc.). Marlene

Digi-Paint/DView2 Message #41974
From: Marlene Zenker The Amiga Forum · Videophile December 3, 1986 10:28 PM
I saw a demo of Digi-Paint (formally Hambone) tonight – really nice program. You can put one picture in front of another and then scrape away the front picture revealing the one in back. It has a cut and paste feature, and animation – for eg. you can spin the…

From: Marlene Zenker The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work December 3, 1986 10:20 PM
Robert, are you sure there's enough room on the disk in df1? There's no logical reason why ARC would work on one disk and not the other unless there isn't enough room or there's something wrong with the disk. Marlene Have you tried deARCing in RAM?

If you guys weren't so far from Wall St. – I'd be there more often. Won't you consider moving at least to mid-town??? (grin) Marlene

#41843 FontEditor Message #41854
From: Marlene Zenker The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work December 3, 1986 12:17 AM
Ken, FONTED.ARC is in DL9 – perhaps the doc file (if there is one) is embedded in the archive. BTW, there is a font editor (FED) in 1.2 Marlene
#41839 amiga 1.2 os Message #41846
From: Marlene Zenker The Amiga Forum · Hot News & Rumors December 3, 1986 12:10 AM
James, 1.2 is out – it's available at Amiga dealers for $14.95. For the zillionth time – CBM is not crumbling – they're doing better than they have in a long time. AND speaking of IBM – SideCar is now available in Canada. Marlene

Mark, I have an Avatex 1200 ($80-$120) it is almost fully Hayes compatible (if that's important to you) and there is another Avatex that is fully Hayes for a few more bucks. I go up to Boston a few times a year and I found a great store in Wellesley…

From: Marlene Zenker The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work December 2, 1986 11:54 PM
Robert, I believe that ARC has to be on the same disk as the file you are deARCing. Solution: put arc on the disk in df1:. If you want to deARC in ram: – do the same thing put arc and the file in ram:. I don't think it's recommended…

Chip, I don't recall if ArgoTerm has a capture feature (sorry Jez), but if it doesn't you can use Starterm (DL4) to capture the messages. Set capture on – do whatever you do to capture messages (whether you read them by categories or the whole message base), type NS after…

Jeff, Leigh's Computers in NYC has 1.2 or at least they did. They're in the 80's on 3rd Ave. Marlene BTW, if they are out of 1.2, I believe they are allowed to make copies for you and you can backorder for their next shipment – the $14.95 charge is…

Jon, you can be sure that CIS will release a statement to all users stating their policy clearly – as this whole thing has gotten out of hand. Instead of speculating – let's wait to hear the real thing from the horses' mouth. Marlene

Gwen, try using the information in Appendix C of the DVideo manual to create 8-color versions of the pictures in DPaint. Make sure you are using the same 8 colors for each picture. Then you'll be using 'CURRENT' instead of 'BEST' when you get the requestor in Framer. If this…
