Nick – Thanks for the comment about DMII – have you tried the MIDI functionality of it? – Rob. "That's some catch, that Catch-22." on Amiga via AutoPilot "It's the best there is."
LHArc will generate self-extracting archives. Typically they're named somethink like filename.run
Steve – Thanks for your reply. Your opinion of B&P Pro is right in line with the other feedback I've received. Your note sounds (no pun intended) like you have the OSMS board – I gather that you like it. Do you find it easy to use, and would you…
CD-ROM ?s
Message #124238
I'm contemplating adding a CD-ROM to my '030-based A2000, and have a few questions: Given an appropriate file system (like AsimCDFSv2), can CrossPC or PCTask run Messy-DOS programs from the CD-ROM? That is, will CrossPC recognize the CD-ROM as a Messy-DOS device? Assuming a 'standard' CD-ROM drive (NEC or Toshiba,…
internet ques
Message #123977
I've been trying to find a way to get on the i-amiga mailing list from the internet. I have a book which provides the instructions (paraphrased): mail a message to LISTSERV@rutgers.edu containing the line: SUBSCRIBE i-amiga I've tried this, and get an automated response that says: … while talking to…
no MED sound
Message #36324
I have a copy of MED v3.2 that I downloaded at one time or another, and have finally gotten around to trying it out. There are no special instructions in the docs, so I just put it in its own drawer and ran it. It seems to be working, in…

FCII & ENVELOPES
Message #123832
Mark – My pleasure, certainly. It's very nice to have my suggestion actually WORK for somebody! 8^)) P.S. – per the other response to your post, the file PRTENV.LZH in library 6 is the subject macro. – Rob. "That's some catch, that Catch-22." on Amiga via AutoPilot "It's the best…
Mark – A lot depends on if your printer takes envelopes sideways or straight on. If it takes them sideways, you need to have FCII rel 2, which allows landscape printing under Project|Page Setup – when you set the Width to anything larger than 8.5 (9.5 for std. business envelopes),…

#conspiracy
Message #121273
While joyfully skimming through my December, 1993 AmigaWorld, I suddenly found myself experiencing a wierd, metaphysical sens of displacement. Closer inspection of the page at which I had paused, I noted with quirked eyebrows a review of 3D Studio Release 3 for the PC. Wait a minute… for the PC???…
#PPage 4.?
Message #120632
I apologize if this was already discussed at length, but I haven't logged on in a while… Do I understand correctly that Gold Disk has a new version, 4.1, of ProPage out now? Is the upgrade free? Anyone not mind sharing some details? Thanks. /7 //\ob …on Amiga via Autopilot…
Mark – Just post your questions here. You'll receive more answers than you ever imagined. (And if you don't, E-mail me. I'll do what I can). Welcome to the world of FCII (hopefully you bought release 2!) 🙂 /7 //\ob …on Amiga via Autopilot from Northeastern PA…
Frank – Maybe you could use AREXX to use a viewing program like ViewTek, which can handle GIFs with no problem. Please post what you manage to figure out – it sounds like an interesting script 8^). /7 //\ob …on Amiga via Autopilot from Northeastern PA…

Message Houdini
Message #113167
How long do my messages and their responses typically stay active for me to read? I've been trying to get an answer to a question from Gold Disk Tech Support for a while (almost 6 months) but I only log on every two weeks or so, and I cannot even…
PDraw problems
Message #110454
Philip – Hello, and I have a few questions for you… I have done some hard disk re-organization involving moving the PDraw genies out of rexx: and into a separate drawer inside the PDraw drawer. I did modify PDraw.ini appropriately. Something has become screwed up, and I'm not sure exactly…
Steven – Even if Mike doesn't find your comments helpful, there are many others who will!! (Yours truly, specifically) I've been wondering about these questions for a while, without knowing how to voice them. Since you're on such a roll, ma I trouble you further? 1) I have an A2000…
Something I'd find useful is a definitive rundown of all the different CDROM drives -and- formats (and their compatability/usefulness with the Amiga). Also – some kind of 'informed' article on the state of support for the older (i.e. non-AGA) machines would be interesting – not just from C='s perspective, but…
The March, 1993 issue of Amiga News has a review of Phasar 4.08 as the cover story. They give it very high marks, although the reviewer (Michael Tobin, M.D., Ph.D.) does state, "Phasar isn't a financial planning program as such. It's not really set up to follow stocks, bonds and…

DMCS 2.0??
Message #28816
Has anyone heard anything about a new version of DMCS coming out? The March issue of AMIGA NEWS had a blurp about it in the Rumors section- Supposedly The Dreamer's Guild will be releasing DMCS 2.0, but the date listed in ANews is a March release?? /7 //\ob …on Amiga…
David – This may not be of any use to you, but no one else has responded to you yet, so here goes… You stated that you're using the driver that comes under WB2.0 – C= didn't offer a HP500C driver until 2.1, so could you be using the HP500…
Am I the only one who noticed (and found quite disappointing) the main sign located outside the building, pointing into the show? It was a green chalkboard with a handwritten "World of Commodore Amiga–>" written on it. I feel like all those people who call the Amiga a 'cult' machine…
PPage 4.0 A?
Message #95050
Philip – It was a pleasure to meet you at the NYC WOCA show last weekend. It was encouraging to see Gold Disk's "show of force" in support of the Amiga marketplace. You mentioned something that day about PPv4.0A versus 4.0… I have received (from GD) two versions of the…
FCIIv2

Ric – Two questions: 1) Could you list which of the features of FCIIv2 require WB2.1 and which will work with WB2.04? 2) Is FCIIv2 shipping yet? Thanks in advance, /7 //\ob …on Amiga via Autopilot from Northeastern PA…

Message #52799
Ric – Whoa, back up just a second… The release st the start of this thread (about FCIIv2) sound great, and I'm reaching for my checkbook when I come upon this message, which has a few 'stipulations' in it: etc… Is WB2.1 required to get ALL the features of rev…
Scott – I am experiencing the same phenomenon with my A2000, FCII and DJ500C, running with the C= 2.1 driver. If you figure something out, holler. I'll do the same. /7 //\ob …on Amiga via Autopilot from Northeastern PA…
#Algorithms wanted
Message #32592
I'm starting a somewhat ambitious project, and am looking for some information to help me down the road. In essence, I want to build and program an Amiga-driven robot. The hardware is not really a problem – most everything I planning to do can be accomplished with parts available at…
Doug – Thanks for the lesson – I'll need to reread it a few times to digest it, but I'll understand all this yet. /7 //\ob …on Amiga via Autopilot from Northeastern PA…
Mark – The key phrase in your note that is the big bone of contention is the "It only takes $400 **more** to have a brand new computer…" That More is a real brick wall for some. /7 //\ob …on Amiga via Autopilot from Northeastern PA…

Two things: First, the latest upgrade of AmigaDOS (2.1, I think?) comes with a driver for the HPDJ500C… The upgrade is around $45 (you need the 2.04 ROM, first). Second: If your friend with the Amiga has CrossDOS, there's no problem. You can download the file onto your IBM, onto…
Kelly – I am using AmigaDOS 2.04. (After upgrading from 1.3, I wouldn't be without it! You're right that the results of F-S dithering are a little different on the 300 dpi DeskJet, but the contrast is so much better than either ordered or halfbright – I find that I…

Does Gold Disk's Professional Page, version 3.0, support Floyd-Steinberg dithering, particularly as it relates to the HP DJ500C? – Rob.
#CPU chip
Message #29722
I found an old MC68000 16-bit microprocessor user's manual at a library book sale. The book was published in September, 1979. Can anyone tell me if this is the same chip that's in my unaccellerated A2000?
