Sentry will scan a directory for new files, and perform an action when one is detected). One use for this is to automatically process frames from 3-D programs as the files are created, thereby saving hard-drive space. o And FINALLY, a straightforward, very efficient interface which makes setting up ARexx…

Ben, Imagemaster R/t 1.00 sounds great. Are you releasing the code for the compression format so that PD Viewers can support it? What about us customers that paid for a fully functional upgrade to IM 9.5 ? Does this mean that there will not be a bug fix for IM…

#Imagemaster v9.5.1
Message #56403
Ben, Wow! Thanks for your quick reply(s). How soon can we expect to see "it" fixed? –Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Peter, Where else could the scripts go?…. There is a full explaination of how to use the Anim writer in the documentation file, which I have read. I have also been in touch with tech support to verify the exact procedure of creating anims and flcs. Louis On AUTOPILOT over…
#Imagemaster v9.5.1
Message #56307
Ben, So what's the prognosis on the FLIck and Anim Writers? -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Peter, The first giveaway, was the fact that I had "fed" the FLI writer 60/24bit 752 x 480 frames to scale to 640 x 480. The size of the resulting .FLC was only about 500K….. What .FLC player was the sysop using? I was using AAPLAY.ZIP, which was made to…
Peter, I'm "feeding it" 24bit 752 x 480's or 768 x 480's and scaling to 640 x 480 (vga) or 320 x 400 (mvga) 256 colors. What are you "feeding it" and scaling to? -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Ben, Are you sure it's not the "Multi-Frame Sequence" selector that has the problem? The exact same thing is happing when I try to make Amiga anims. Thanks for your help on everything. The "Auto-Activate" did the job. I'll be in touch Monday. –Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Please explain how you are getting all the files you select in the anims and flc's in IM9.5.1 How many frames are you working with? ==Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Erik, I'm getting the same results as you. All is not o.k at the Circle K corral… stay tuned… On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Ben, The thing I was doing wrong was not rebooting after my last attempt. 🙁 And yes I did get an .flc file in RAM: but…… I'm afraid that I spoke too soon on the results. The .flc file that is created doesn't contain all the frames I put into…
Ben, My apologies on the FLIck writer. I finally got it to work! Yah!! Would still like a reply on the other issues…. By the way, that was a nice touch putting those new gadgets as script writers. Thanks -Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
Betty, Why is ViewTek better that View? =Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…

As I mentioned before, I…
#ImageMaster 9.5.1
Message #56043
Ben, I recieved and installed IM 9.5.1 fix two days ago. Thank you. I deleted 9.5 including all files related to IM and installed 9.5.1 from scratch. I am running IM on a A3000/25 with 16Mb of RAM and WB2.1. I still cannot create FLI anims and now cannot create…
OpalVision 24bit Anims
Message #54927
Pat, Opalvision has an AnimMaker and Player that creates and plays 8, 12, 15, 18, & 24 bit anims with Delta 1 or Raw options. I've gotten playback speeds on my A3000 between 20 – 30 fps with a 24bit display using the delta option. Louis On AUTOPILOT over Chicago…
ProCONTROL
Message #28823
of your script to begin being processed, and a frame number after which the line will once more be ignored. This allows you to use operators only during parts of an anim, for example. It also makes possible complex movement in animations. o ProCONTROL supports file hits from ASDG's Sentry…
ProCONTROL
Message #28822
ASDG is now distributing an extremely powerful new program for Professional Animators called ProCONTROL by the infamous Doug Crane. I have been beta testing it for about a year now and its a killer application for the serious and not so serious Amiga animator. ProCONTROL is a point-and-click front-end for…
drive will run about $1900. He still wouldn't have his "keys" and it would seem that I would be blamed for any of his (new user and maybe other) frustrations. What good quality keyboard/synth would you recommend to get him by with the "bare essentials", while still having a substantial…
David, I could see his reasoning on wanting to get a keyboard/synth first and a computer later. My concern was that he would be dishing out cash for options (bells & whistles) on this particular keyboard, that the set up I recommended would have, and probably do better. He's told…
Chris, You hit the nail right on the head… Louis
Roland vs Amiga help

never get an Amiga. It took me a long time to even talk about computers with him. They seem to itimidate him at times. Any input on this matter would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Louis
Roland vs Amiga help
Message #25326
TO: ALL I have been trying to get my (musician/composer) brother to get an Amiga music set-up for quite some time now. Until last year, he had a keyboard, Tascam 4 track recorder, Roland echo, and some other stuff. Now I'm too familiar with what goes into an set-up like…
#Amiga Coverage
Message #49374
Lee, I had a subscription to Computer Artist. It comes out 4 times a year. They have rarely given writen coverage to the Amiga. Occasionally, they include a lo-res DPaint picture or two in their "gallery" section. I've written the magazine many times to inquire about this, with no reply.…

#EuroMailBomb virus
Message #30381
Has anyone heard or know of the "EuroMailBomb" virus? I use the virus checker "VirusZ v2.12". It tells me that the file I recently downloaded (LATESC.LZH, AmigaUser Lib 9) contains this virus. VirusChecker does not identify this "virus". The docs mention a "MailBomb" virus but not a "EuroMailBomb" virus. It…
Emplant Specs

Yeah, I figured it was too good to be true… Louis Chicagoland AutoPilotl…
Thanks, I'll give it a try…. Louis Chicagoland yes, on AutoPilot…
The one thing we do have in common is that we frequent the same BBS. So yes we did get the files from the same source except for one, Article Editor from Gold Disk's ProPage and AutoCenter from a Fred Fish CD ROM. Have your heard anything about this virus?…
Pete, I've had some good results converting 24 bit images into HAM overscan using ADPro. I've written an ARexx script for ADPro that will do the job. Pick one image that you feel has a good palette representation of your anim as a whole. It's important that you start with…
