Looking for work!
Message #15050
I resigned from Croftward and my last day there was Jan. 31. I was the last employee. It now consists of Jeannie. That's all! I don't know what will happen in future. Your guess is as good as mine. I can clear up one mystery though: The mags are not…
#MPS-1000
Message #85751
After two years of only printing PostScript, I finally hooked up my CBM MPS-1000 to the Amiga. I get ASCII printing, no problem. But I can't get any graphics printing. Not from ProPage, not from Graphic Dump. I used CMD to divert the bytes to a file and hex'd that…
Hi Dale: I just sent you an Easy to that effect. Just DEL it. 🙂 Malcolm

Things not recieved
Message #10588
OK, Dale: I'll show your message to the downstairs folks and get back to you. Malcolm
Thanks again, Betty. The 800 number was set up for orders only. I suspect that the lady in TX who answers the phone is entirely unaware of anything but the cost of a subscription. As some kind of a technical point… Tim and I (and our new Asst. Ed., Paul…
Hi Peter: Which (if either) of those names is really yours? No, wait. What name is on your sub label? Send me an Easy, please. Malcolm
Hi Joe: People DO get replies from Transactor. When Transactor has information to convey. Of course, when I say "Transactor" I mean me. I'm getting close to my deadline on the 8-bit mag and I took the Amiga back to the office. I'm back to using the 64 to catch…
Hi Mike: I'll send you a copy of 2:2 in the morning. Malcolm
OK, Michael: I'll send you a 2:2 as well. Malcolm

Transactor magazine
Message #9425
Hi Betty: Right about both Forums! CBMPRG and CBMCOM are my regular hangouts. I have sent Emery an Easy in this regard. FYI, I put 4 mags in the mail to you today. To your old address. JimB said it would get too you. Malcolm

Transactor magazine
Message #9424
Hi Dave: Some of us are hooked on both. 🙂 Malcolm
Hi John: Glad to hear you got your mags. We had a problem for a while with our disk duplicators. They couldn't copy our disks! I shudder to think what would happen if we used copy protection! 🙂 They finally got straightened away on the Amiga disk and we got…
>Not with the editors. Betty. Thank you. Thank you SO much. I needed that. Malcolm
Hi Gary: I'm back from WOC LA and I'm here.I answer messages here. And I get on fairly regularly. Malcolm

AMNews has reappeared. We've been getting it at the office. It DOES have a snazzy interface.

Late Issue 4
Message #4968
Yeah, I've been wondering about them. I bet they're over the limit for 2nd Class (but they probably tell the Post Office they're not >snicker

#Late Issue 4
Message #4967
I think that only a certain range is allowable under 2nd Class permit regulations, Steve. There may even be differences on this score between the U.S. and Canada. I'm not really sure (but you can bet that Croftward IS now) This isn't the first mail snarl either. Who could forget…
#Late Issue 4
Message #4934
The most amazing things happen to us…. On Friday we got a phone call from the Post Office in Buffalo. They had been holding all the magazines CAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE WAS ADS!!! I do not make this stuff up, folks… We told them. They mailed them. This…

#Back issue
Message #4449
Hi Betty: Good point! We normally include a "This is your last issue" notice in the last issue. When we were bimonthly and subs were prompt, that probably worked out OK but now that we're monthly we may have to make some adjustment. Sounds like it's time for an office…

Back issue
Message #4448
Hi Bill: I just checked the sub base and found a matching name in San Diego. It's a valid sub and all so if you're not receiving anything I begin to suspect a addressing error. Please leave me an Easy with your full address and zip and we'll see what's…

Message #2821
As it turns out, we weren't "bought" outright. We have an agreement to produce the mags for the publisher. This works out well since Nick, Chris and I will be doing the stuff we do best, the stuff we love to do – creating magazines. The others will take care…
Who is that certain someone? Who could it be? Could it be SOMEONE?!! Pardon my church lady (my newest impersonation and I've been doing it a lot). On Friday they called and said they were definitely buying. On Monday they called wanting to be partners. I'm going to stop echoing…
Hi Jeff: Just what's going on: It's true that there is a message on the phone that we are looking for a buyer. Fact is, we've found several BUT we wanted to be sure that the buyer would: Assume the liabilities of Transactor Publishing Inc. Honour our commitments to the…
Hi Mike: Actually I sent the sub rates to the enquirer via EasyPlex. Ahem, in an ideal world… Our rates are $15/6 issues, $55/6 disks. That'd be in terms of US $. Our address is: 85 West Wilmot, Unit 10 Richmond Hill, ON Canada L4B 1K7 As I type, this…
When I bought the Power C compiler for the C64/C128, there was a card that had Spinnaker's name and address and "Place stamp here" on one side. The other side had Spinnaker's name and address and "Place stamp here"
Hi Steve: If you've got issues 1 & 2, you've got it all. Issue 3 is done but our printing company is giving us a hard time again. We hope that things will be straightened out and the mag on the streets in a couple of weeks. I understand your…
Hi Mike: Transactor for the Amiga is available at Waldenbooks among others, btw. Our address is: 85 West Wilmot, Unit #10 Richmond Hill, ON L4B 1K7 Malcolm O'Brien, Asst. Ed. TransAmi

Writers' Guide
Message #1478
Things have changed a lot. The old writers' guide talk about our typesetting. That's out. We do everything with ProPage now so…we've got new writers' guides. One for each magazine. I think you'll like them as much as the old one and they're completely in line with T as it…

68020 format
Message #682
I haven't read the article and don't know anything about it. I did see the schematic today but I didn't look at its properties. I was just scanning it for print quality. Nick has been writing a program to convert Aegis Draw files to PostScript. The program is about 98%…

When?
Message #638
The T Classic that was supposed to be the July issue has regrettably become the September issue. We had a real snarl with the company that does our printing. Street date on Classic V9I1 is today (Aug. 9). I've been away sick so I don't know if they've come back…

68020 format
Message #637
Yes, there's data on an accelerator system but NO! we DON'T do IBM format. I think the originals were done with Aegis Draw. I'll convey your request for machine-readable schematics. Since this is my first message here, I should introduce myself. I'm Asst. Ed. at Transactor.
