Mike, Thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time with me to explain it! JDSoftware Jonathan Schmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Sean, Thanks, I did download that but it seemed very confusing. I wasn't really sure where to start… any suggestions? JDSoftware Jonathan Schmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Thanks Rob! I'll give all that a try! JDSoftware Jonathan Schmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Thanks again for the help! JDSoftware Jonathan Schmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Thanx for the info… I'm not sure if I have an actual UseNet feed or not… I simply type rn for ReadNews and away I go. I'll try UUCP and see what I come up with. As far as UNIX goes, I do have an MMU but for it to…
Internet and Unix Ques.
Message #105581
Hi… I have recently become very active in the Internet service. I have had an ccount for some time but only recently have begun using it a great deal. I was wondering if anyone knows of a program similar to AutoPilot that allows you to automate your NEWS and MAIL…
Slow HD Trans. Rate
Message #35645
Hi, I am looking for a fast caching program for hard drives. I have a 1200/030 at 50 Mhz and am only getting about 200k/sec transfer rate when I feel I should be running faster than this. If anyone has any helpful hints on how to up the rate, please…
Guy, Although the WB 3.0 operating system allows a workbench screen of up to 256 color simultaneously, the icons can only be 8 colors. That is what I said 8 colors compared to 16 colors of 2.0. Why they "degraded" 2.0 to do this, I am not sure. Any colors…
oh… thank you thank you thank you thank you… I hate uudecoding! I can't wait to see it… JDSoftware Jonathan Schmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Sure thing! JDSoftware Jonathan Schmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Hmm… I haven't had any trouble running it on my stock 1200. I have to boot with PAL and ECS mode and disable DF1 in order to get it to run though. Try that and see if it works… it's great! JDSoftware Jonathan Schmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Flashback 4 Sale
Message #104937
FOR SALE… FLASHBACK for AMIGA… will work on 500,1000,1200,2000,3000 or so I am told. Paid $40… will accept $25 and pay for shipping myself. If interested, please leave me E-mail and I will send you my address. This does include all original packaging and disks and manual. GREAT GAME… I…
Jim, They sure do have lower configs… you can get a 40 Mhz or a 33 Mhz EC030 for less… they are not that much less though. The 33 Mhz is around $75 less ($300-$350 are the prices I've seen). Really, the 50Mhz version you can't beat the price/performance ratio.…
Jim, I am just leaving to get my 1230XA. This board will probably be what you need unless, as Bob said, you need SCSI as well. Actually the 12 Guage… at my last check, does not actually come with SCSI yet… it just has the expansion capability to add SCSI…
Well, in that case… thanks! I will certainly try to scrape my cashola together as soon as I can and get it mail order. I was just under a misimpression of what you guys were trying to do. I do love your products! You certainly can't beat the price for…
1230XAUpgradeNotGoodDeal
Message #58562
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that I won't beable to take advantage of your upgrade offer. But it just isn't as good a deal as it sounds. I have a quote from Software Hut for $509 including tax and shipping for the 50 Mhz board with a…
Hey Guys! C'mon! Buy this thing! You can make offers… Jon
MBX-1200z 4 sale CHEAP!
Message #103265
For SALE!!! GOOD PRICE!!! I have a MBX-1200z for sale with the 14Mhz 881 co-processor. I want to upgrade to the M1230XA so I need to off this one really quick. This board is in perfect condition with all original packaging and materials. Only 4 months old! $100 firm plus…
Chris, Thanks for the idea… certainly not a bad one… unfortunately, the main problem is time… I'm sure that a program could be adapted from the one's I have written already but I am kept busy updating, improving, and chasing bugs in the two progs I have written thus far.…
Okay, Robert. That's what I'll do, then… One more question… how many characters should be allowed? 4? 6? 10? In your mind, what is the maximum number anyone would use? Jon
Okay, then… it's settled. I will start working on adding a field for tape number. The topic you speak of sounds like the category on mine. You can use whatever you wish for the topic name (Star Trek or whatever) and then perform a search. The list at the bottom…
Okay, so you're not a programmer… do you think that supplying another field for tape number would be sufficient? It would allow each user to use their own numbering system with unlimited titles per tape number… you could even use number and letter combinations if you want. I know you…
Hmmm… well that blows that idea. Is it okay to upload to the libraries to let other people see if it will work? Jon
#AGA on 500,2000,3000!!!
Message #30185
HI… I have a friend who has discovered a file on the Internet called SoftAGA. This program was developed by PWS (whoever that is). The following excerpt is from a readme file in the archive. I don't know if it is copyrighted or not so I don't want to post…
Robert, Hmmmm… That's a pretty big problem. The database entry numbers are based on the database entries themselves. There would be no way to add more than one movie for each entry because by definition, there would be more entries… (does that make sense?). I'm not even sure how I…
Robert, You are correct. Before I made a submission to the SWREG area, it was explained to me that the users would download the full version at that time. You are, as you say, simply registering the software. I have placed the demo version in this forum and then the…
Lewis, I'm glad it worked for you. I have updated the icon in the archive file and it just needs to be updated in the library so it should work for anybody who should download it now. Thanks again for letting me know about the problem. Hope it works well…
Vidisc/Vidtape Icon Prob
Message #99861
To anyone who has downloaded VDDemo.LHA or VTDemo.LHA… I would like to appologize if you have been having trouble getting the programs to work properly. I goofed when creating the icon for them and set them up as Projects instead of Tools. If you know how to use IconEdit in…
Lewis, I am sorry about that. I had this just reported by another person who downloaded it. I need to check on a couple of things to find out if there is a way to get the program to operate without Deckrunner but if not, it is just another program…
VDDemo/VTDemo in SWREG!
Message #99643
Attention!! The programs: VDDEMO.LHA and VTDEMO.LHA (both in library 13 of AMIGAUSER) are now available for registration in GO SWREG. These are the best movie database programs ever written. The cost is $15 and I will provide full support online or through postal mail. VDDEMO.LHA – ID# 916 VTDEMO.LHA -…

Thanks, Paul! I already sent him a letter. Looking forward to getting info on it.
I take it that IconMaster is a shareware program? If so, you wouldn't happen to know the cost? Even if I don't get that program, at least I now have an idea of how to work around the bug. Thanks for the help!
#AAARRGGHH! Icon 3.0
Message #97831
HELP!!! I am having a HORRIBLE time creating an icon using IconEdit with WB 3.0. I am on a 1200. Every time I save an icon… let's say it is this big… ————– | | | | | | ————– IconEdit will make the icon space the full size… ———————————–…
Thanks, Redmond. Hopefully, it will be competitive to the what I would pay at a dealer. / /_ /_/onathan __/chmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Redmond, I am, in fact, a registered MBX-1200z user. I know that you guys offer pretty competitive upgrade prices and that's exactly what I'd be looking for. The new '030 at 50Mhz with a 50Mhz fpu. If you could pass along the upgrade price, that'd be great. I am assuming…
If I were to order directly from you guys, what would be the price of the 50Mhz with 50Mhz 68882 and no RAM? / /_ /_/onathan __/chmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Wow! I had no idea you had 8 different drivers for the Epson. That's definately a good thing. I will say it again… you guys are great. I think you will certainly be big competition for Quark… They'll be shaking in their boots! Jonathan Schmidt
PG3.0-Wish
Message #54702
Michael, As a Deskjet 500C user. I just wanted to suggest that you include a selector perhaps in the print requester to select between the color and black carts. It's really a pain to have to switch drivers in 2.22. Just a thought… / /_ /_/onathan __/chmidt – On AutoPilot…
I have already chewed out CBM over the AmigaDOS/ARexx User's Guide scandal. If you call corporate and bitch to Jim Reeder who is the head of Customer Support or to Jim Dionne, President of Commodore, you will get the manuals for free. I did and so did a friend of…
RHOME.LHA Probs?
Message #28073
Has anyone out there had problems viewing the animation file uploaded here in ANIM-7 format on an AGA machine? It is the file called RHOME.LHA. I have tried to view it using VT. I can see the animation but the colors are far from right. It looks like colored garbage.…
Michael, Definately send me that patch! I'll give it a go for ya! Jon / /_ /_/onathan __/chmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Thanks again, Denny! This gives me some useful info… / /_ /_/onathan __/chmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
Thanks for the information. I can't believe that the 4000 can't use double-sided SIMMs. Sounds good about the hard drive though. It shouldn't be that much of a problem to get a cable. WHat about mounting hardware inside? I take it the mail order places should carry that too? /…
#1200-
4000 Help!
Message #92101
I was recently in an automobile accident and am anticipating a fairly decent settlement. I only recently purchased a 1200 because I never thought I could get the extra cash to get a big boy 4000. Now I have the 1200 with the MBX1200z with another 8 Megs of RAM…
Mark, I have been unable to get to the Screen Colors Editor. I select it from the menu but nothing every comes up on the screen. I have, however, deleted my PSPREFS file and the colors are right (sort of). I would like to be able to edit the palette.…
Mark, 2.22? Will this be true AGA? Will it support AGA graphics as well as just text? AAA (Axiously Awaiting AGA), Jon
Sure! No problem. All should be well very soon across the board. / /_ /_/onathan __/chmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
#PS AGA???
Message #52388
Hi, I just got my new 1200. I was told previously that PS 2.2 supports AGA. I tried changing the COLORS= tool type to 256 but it came up in 2 colors. Does PS really support 256? Am I doing something wrong? Help! / /_ /_/onathan __/chmidt – On AutoPilot…
Help! Schwartz and 1200
Message #27296
Hi, I have been having some problems viewing Eric Schwartz animations since getting my new 1200. I have tried using the Overscan Prefs and centering the screens for all modes but to no avail. The animations are not being centered properly and is cutting off the left side and the…
