Must place my 02c worth in here , Creative were very helpfull over the phone with me makeing several Intl 'phone calls to chase up an order. In particular it was the two men on the 'phones that were really good at going out of their way to find out…
Sze C, Hmmmmmm……I think I will have a go at contributing a NZ based file of CBM/Service Centres uploaded early next week. Then you wouldnt have to DL the lot, just by country/local area perhaps Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Ian, Try this, Ref in the WB2 manual 4-7 AddMonitor to 4-10 Bindmonitor. I think you need to have the PAL monitor Icon in the Monitors Drawer on your system disc..eg DH0: if you have a hard drive. You have to drag the Pal icon from the MonitorStore drawer to…
Tom, Ref the Hokianga Software, would you mind Emailing their address to me. The "game" I want to buy from over there is called Aero Chopper and is an R/C model flight simulator, so I can learn to fly my R/C models properly. There is a bloke in the Modelnet…
Tom, "cheap land here in Oklahoma.." Hmmmmm……you wouldnt also be offering a really good deal on a Statue in New York by any chance….(g) Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot

Pal Problems
Message #99410
Ian, I'm no expert but you may need a PAL monitor to get it to display correctly on. Or OTOH you may end up having to scroll down to "see" the balance of the PAL screen on your NTSC monitor. My 10c worth Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Barbara, I understand the reason why the magazine has the policy re European software/Hardware, however I do think that it should be given more coverage as that in itself will help the crossfeed between the USA and Europe. Afterall we have at least one German gent pushing (for want of…
Barbara, Would it be possible to use more artwork done on the Amiga instead of the "painting" type that seems to be in favor these days, eg the raytraced room as the opener to the raytracing article recently, was really good. I am sure that you can find people here…
Betty, I second all that you said about the 3.5" Syquest, CD-Roms and PhotoCD. Hopefully AmigaWorld will be able to compare products in a way similar to MacWorld. Thats what I have been also reading to keep up with the new 3.5" 128m disks and CD-Rom production. We need more…
Geez, Down here in NZ I wait up to two months after the cover date. Have also waited only a month and Then paid $19.95 (NZD1.00= USD 0.54) for the EARLY availability.. You blokes need more lashes of the wip….:-) Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Andrew, Perhaps you could upload an Info text file on this, with the price etc…..or you could make it avaiable through CIS, there is an area were software is sold when downloaded from CIS. Autopilot is available through this means. The $$ is charged against the purchasers CIS account. I…
Lu, I was "reading between the lines" with the actions of Softwood. Pen Pal was "stopped" and then FCII was started but it has added features and in particular the proportional fonts, I assumed that these would have been to difficult to put into Pen Pal. Softwood in the AmigaVendor…
Ben, So IM R/t and V10 become two separate products and we then need to chose which one to go with depending on our hardware (V10 needing a souped hotroded Amiga….:-) ) Egads he's splitting the atom. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Sze, You may be able to get tech support from CBM in either Sydney Aust. or Auckland NZ. Both fairly "close" by airfreight. If you need NZ phone no's let me know. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Rick, Thanks very much for the detailed onfo. A mate of mine at work is very interested inthis technology as he has just about landed his first client for video work off the Amiga. Here's hoping Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Thanks Jerry, I was wondering if there was a technical issue behind it. Now that I know that I dont feel egrieved against NewTek: they're not snubbing PAL. Thanks Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Scott, Did you put this notice in the AmigaUser and AmigaArts forums as there are many people there doing this kind of work for a living. They would be interested I believe. Thanks Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Charles, I found our local "good" fixit man via the local Amiga club. Thats one way of finding out who's good etc. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
James, May I just pop in a word here, I have Pen Pal and it is a very good programme being one of my more solid buys. Based on this I would recommend that you definately check out Final Copy II which was the follow on to Pen Pal. Well…
Rick thanks a million, I just want to get this right, this can be used to record say Imagine animations frame accurate to v/tape so that the you wouldnt then need something like the Panasonic AG7750 single frame recorder ?? And also does it work with S-VHS and the Sony…
Jeff, Thanks Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
True but that means more $$/cables/compatability/learning curves etc One plug in package is much nicer for users. Hmmmm there is an Amiga show in Sydney this July, if they have anything ready it would probably get displayed there. Perhaps it will be a similar waiting period that everyone experienced with…
Peter, That will disapoint alot of people. I can undestand their problem a bit as I guess PAL means the hardware would be moving 120% or so more data around. However it does then leave the field open to competition to the likes of the OpalVision board. Laurie Carroll AKL…
EdPLayer 2.1 ???
Message #29538
All I've been looking for a music player programme called EdPlayer 2.1 which was recommended in Amiga World Jan 93 on page 55. I have had AP do a couple of "runs" for it but no Luck. Can anybody piont me in the right direction Thanks Laurie Carroll AKL NZ…
Jeff, Have you uploaded any info?specs/$$ on the DPS board. I came into the thred late and missed the initial info. Thanks for any info. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Richard, Thanks for the info. It would be really hot news if they have gone ahead and produced a PAL version, if not I think that they are giving business to the OpalVision board. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Iain, The others here will need to know what files you are providing to to DTB people, including the CG fonts, in order to find out what is going wrong. The missing text to me sounds like it was a different font (from rest of doc) and they dont have…
Philip, Congratulations to yourself and your new wife. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Barbara, I have used PDraw to draw up a set of floor plans from a hand sketch ok. It was for a Barn/Accomodation. I could Email the file (compressed with LHZ) if you like. They were for a submission to the local council. Worked OK. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance…
#Toaster 4000 at NAB
Message #97287
Is this a Toaster in an A4000??……arriving late in the thread and is it PAL????? Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Erik, Another suggestion or way around the problem in future is as below 1. Double click on the CMail "forum" box in Autopilot. 2. This brings up a requestor for CMail in which you can "tick" the Delete Cmail box, or not. 3. With no tick there it will not…
Steve, Thanks very much Steve for the info ref Earth.LZH I DLd it as soon as I got the info. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
#Earth map
Message #28803
ALL, Can anybody recall seeing a new file on the Amiga Forums recently which was an orthographic map of the Earth, which was to be used on 3D spheres as this type of map will wrap on correctly. I have been searching for several days now using "map Earth" as…
Earth Map.
Message #95032
ALL, There was a file uploaded to one of the Amiga forums that I now cannot find…..it was an orthographic map of the Earth which wraps correctly onto 3d spheres. I have done searches with "map earth" as the key words but to no avail. Does anybody recall the file…
Thats odd….the news media here have been referring to it as "Braindead" with no hint of a name change. Im sure they havent changed the name, I might give someone a phone call from work tommorrow…. . Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
John, About the Oct'92 or so Mac-World did an article about exactly what you are doing. It was a "how to" for mastering CD-Rom discs and from memory covered using CD-Rom mastering beaureauxs to a panasonic mastering machine and putting it all onto a 600 meg hard-disk for the disk…
ALL, Please tell us the address to write to so they will get some nice polite letters from overseas, after all the OpalVision board was designed in Aussieland. (an island off our West coast…..:-) ) Thanks Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Betty and Nancy, I think you both are showing in the comments on word processors, that there is a "low end" "high end" choice to be made. Personally I dont wouldnt pay for all the high end features of a word processor like WP. There is just so much there…
#IP Availability
Message #54049
Ben, You said that updates for IP ver 10.00 wont be available thru here (aaarrrgh)….but didnt state why. Being able to get upgrades thru "here" are why I want to buy your product over ANY-ONE ELSES. 🙂 AAARRGGGHHH Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Your average sort of man. Hmmmmm……possibly dangerous if you're an Aussie or vice versa 🙂 Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
#Runabout Anim?
Message #28564
Yep, it has been in the papers here a bit, recently….it is called Braindead. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Ben, Why? Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Peter, Hmmmm…..you may be interested then in a local (NZ) "splatter" movie that is apparently doing well. I just cant recall the name of it. It is the second one for the the bloke who made it. The previous one was about aliens who harvested "us" for their own local…
New Amiga Magazine!
Message #27913
Rob, I encourage you to persivere with Autopilot. It is well worth the effort, as I find it "second nature" now, to use. The demo (of the predecessor WHAP) was for me very frustrating to use for me BUT the regstd version of AP is pure bliss. Spanning the waves…
Lu, I assume you are in Sydney and use an Amiga/Whap to get into Compuserve. If so then the phone no for entry via CisPacific is 415-1324 This is at 300/1200/2400 Baud rates The toll free customer service number is 008-023-158 8am to 6pm AET Ask for David Green who…
Tim, The local "electronics" stores both here (NZ) and in Aussie probably sell these gadgets. I bought one YEARS ago and it is a bit on the heavy side to lug around. I will give them a call from work tommorrow (Mon 22nd) and get back to you. We run…
Ric, Give me a "yell" if I can do anything. It was the "modem" link to Europe that made me sit up and take notice. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
Chris thanks very much. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot /exit
Keith, I watch a M/Media screen "kiosk" at the gymm I go to. The graphics are very crude (may be an ordinary TV screen) Amiga Vision CanDo etc would just blow it away!! Thats why I thought off the A1200/HD combo. It would be a relativley cheap way to get…
