>>I have always beeen somewhat amused by the high price of the shareware fee. In fact, the shareware fee is double what we end up with for GPFax after it goes through the distribution chain!
Chinon CDX431 Dipswitch
Message #192241
I asked this question a couple of years ago, got the answer, and have now mislaid it. So once again: Could somebody please give me the dipswitch settings on the Chinon CDX431 CDROM Drive? I promise I'll put the information someone safe this time. Pete
Different strokes for different folks! I much prefer the Major. Pete
Fred, Il s'agit d'un euphemisme pour un autre mot fort utilise en anglais, mais pas admissible sur Compuserve. Pete
Philippe, John Chang, who is also on this forum, should be able to help you, since I believe Nico now works for Scala. Pete
Jim, Any midi interface will work with the Miracle software. Pete
Dan, Can you give more info on the problem you are having in sending Final Copy files to GPFax? Normally, if you have GPFax running with the printer option turned on, then simply PRINTing from Final Copy will cause GPFax to intercept and create the fax. Pete
>Wasn't he just kicked out the country???< Nice one! LOL! Pete
Thanks for the description. Now I understand the name better Eight ball as in the game of Pool. Never seen one, though I expect that they are available in Europe. Pete
Niels, Off the thread subject, but you use an Amiga and you live in Belgium, so I just had to introduce myself! Are you in Brussels. Pete, Sterrebeek
John, What are Magic 8 balls? Enquiring minds want to know! Pete

#ShowJpeg Lib
Message #186332
Louis, It's a lib that comes with the PicassoII graphic board. Do the docs say that ShowJpeg is for the Picasso only or something? Pete
Gary, 1950 dot pitch is 0.31mm. Pete
Tom, >>Are you kidding. Sure they do. The Brits are world class masters at that "Orson Welles War of the Worlds" kind of tongue in cheek. I love them, who else could have done "Quest for the holy grail"? I even married one!
Ron, A propos your signature tag, I saw a question today: "if you tie some toast, butter-side up, to the back of a cat and throw them both in the air, which way will they come down?" Pete
Christopher, Thanks. A small error on my part. The file is called GTLAYOUT.LIBRARY. I tried it in libs: but it made no difference. A text file in the archive stresses that gtlayout.library must be in the same directory as Term. I have TERM 4.0, which also has a gtlayout.library in…
Steve, You are right, of course, I should have said gtlayout.library! (I got some of the letters right. ). I did put it in libs: just to make sure, although the small text file in the archive stresses that it should be in the same directory as term, but it…
Steve, Thanks. As the other Steve pointed out, the file is called GTLAYOUT.LIBRARY.I tried putting it in libs, but it made no difference. The small text file which accompanies term says that GTLAYOUT.LIBRARY must be in the same directory as term. I have TERM 4.0, also with GTLAYOUT.LIBRARY (different version)…
#Term 4.2
Message #181885
I have just downloaded Term 4.2 and installed it on my hard disk. When I try to run it, I get the error message "Failed to open GTDISPLAY.LIBRARY" despite the fact that this file is (as per instructions) in the same directory as Term. All suggestions appreciated. Pete Jones, flying…
>>Pardon my ignorance, but is this message in response to something I asked?!?
Werner, Thanks for the info. I assume that John, who posted the original query, will read you reply. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
John, I think DynaCadd is the name of the company you are looking for. I reviewed it for a British mag a few years ago. I don't know whether it is still supporting the Amiga, though. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Sorry, Paul, but Dale made no reference to whether the secretary was male or female. You made an assumption and are therefore in danger of the hot iron! Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Hi, Lieven, Yes, I remember the meeting. That was also a time when I could write about the Amiga in a general publication like Computer Magazine! I shall log on to Nightbreed this evening and check it out. Thanks for the information. Tot ziens, Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from…
Lieven, What BBS do you use, If I may ask? Pete, Sterrebeek
I have a Microway flicker fixer complete with manual and software sitting in its box doing nothing at the moment. Your monitor is not mentioned (manual is too old, I think) but what might be of interest is that for other Sony monitors it stresses that you should NOT use…
Steve, You are both right. Inventory: 1. A complete listing of merchandise or stock on hand, work in progress, raw materials, finished goods on hand, etc, made each year by a business concern. 2. The objects or items representated on such a list, as a merchant's stock of goods. Random…
Mike, I tried the Oktagon Hdinstall program with the CD drive on and a disk inserted. No joy. Could I ask you to talk me thru exactly how you proceeded and remind me what CDROM software you are using? Many thanks, Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Dale, I believe it is the second CD ROM, and yes, It is only for the MSDOS or Mac. It sells in the U.K. for around 500 pounds, as against about 1700 pounds for the books! Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Dale, The second edition of the OED, all twenty volumes of it, is now available on ONE cd-rom. It will run on the PC or the Mac. It's on my wish list, but I want the books as well! (I have the full, 17 volume first edition) Pete Jones, flying…
Sean, You are obviously someone who, like me, has a love of our English language. I also look in on the Court Reporters Forum, not because that is my profession, but because they have a section on language and its use. It is also refreshing to talk to people who…

A-Max IV 800K disks
Message #165780
Norm, I wrote a review a few months ago on A-Max IV. (I am the Amiga Editor for a Belgian magazine). A reader has remarked on my comment that 800K disks won't work, and given a work-around. I haven't been able to try it, since the card is still with…
Joe, I get it spasmodically, Perhaps four or five times in the last month. Pete Jones. flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Eberhard, Thanks for the info and quick response. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot in Brussels, Belgium
Eberhard, Sounds interesting. Can you give me details: price, address of OSAmatic etc.? Thanks. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium

Message #165167
John, I think that the carriage return and the CIS response to the "Host Name" question is common to all CIS nodes. Certainly here in Brussels, I had to do just that when I logged on with a terminal program. Now that I am using AP, it takes care of…
Mike, I have exactly the same problem with the Oktagon 2008. I have tried three difference cdrom software packages to no avail. I just saw a reference to the fact that the Oktagon card won't work with cd. I thik it was in Amiga Format. I'll check. Pete Jones, flying…
Marty, I agree that SASG service is pretty good. I got Magicwb and MUI back in about a week from Germany. However, I think the CompuServe SWREG is the most transparent and hassle-free way of registering software and wished more authors used it. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot(SWREGed, of course)…
Norm, I am trying to recall how I got Amax-IV up and running. It was around Christmas time and the memory has faded. I was using the system 7 that comes with the mac powerbook, and there were several different options from which to choose. I seem to remember that…
Norm, The Mac models I was referring to were the early ones after they had got away from the classic monitor/computer in one box. I can't remember the model numbers, but think there was an 'x' involved. "tot siens"? Is that family knowledge, or time spent over here? Pete Jones,…
Brian, To be fair, I did also say (in another message, I think) that I remember some of the genuine MAC models were also very finnicky with 800K disks. I see it as a fairly minor annoyance, since everything for the Mac seems to come on 1.4. Pete
Barbara, I have been running AMax IV with 3.1 on my A4000/40 since the beginning of the year with no problems, except the inability to read 800K Mac floppies. HD floppies are fine. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Bill, In fact, Pleasance has borrowed the american term that you use in college and extended the meaning to business. It's the type of linguistic cross-fertilization of which I approve. 🙂 Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Jim, I have the CT670. Perhaps I will try it, but be prepared to be disappointed. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Norm, I am running 3.1 and AmaxIV and I cannot read mac 800K floppes… period! To be fair, however, I seem to remember HD Macs were also finnicky with 800K disks. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Jim, Yeah, except the keyboard you mentioned (Casio) was the one I have. 🙂 Pete

Jim, Thanks for the info. I was intending to make the experiment. You've saved me some time. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
