WB3.1, some observations
Message #160873
John, There tends to be confusion even by the indigenous population on this. Political:Great Britain (Scotland, England, Wales) – United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland(Ulster). Geographical: the British Isles, which includes the foregoing and the Republic of Ireland. Since most of the population of all these countries speaks…
Norm, I have been running AMax IV since the beginning of the year with 3.1. No problems, apart from the fact that it doesnt like 800k mac disks. (1.4 are ok). This is, however, on an A4000/40 with 2/14MB RAM. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Greg, Sorry about the copy of Computer Magazine. It's probably a case of "if you want something done, do it yourself". I'll go over to the editorial offices next week and "do it myself". Thanks for the info on Easyledgers2. I have a programmer friend here who has a stock…
Dag, Juan, Niet zo slecht, merci. La vie bruxelloise est assez agreable. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Juan, KS 40.68, WB 40.35 Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Robert, United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland, Great Britain doesn't. Perhaps Commodore was catering to political sensitivites. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Ash, There is a program called S3HOST in the library which links Psion and Amiga. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Don, In the U.K. the dealer who sells you the product has an obligation to replace or repair defective merchandise, even if there is a guarantee by the manufacturer. Is there nothing similar in American law? Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Hans, Wat denkt je dan over Nederlands en Vlaams. Pete Jones, flying on Autopilot from Brussel, Belgie

Dale, Supra never seemed interested in pushing the Amiga version. the adverts always mentioned Pc and Mac, but never, to my knowledge, Amiga, even in Amiga specific mags! Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Hans, >English and American (two different languages in my opinion)< You are right! Oscar Wilde said a century ago "Americans and English, two peoples divided by the same language". Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussel, Belgie
>Phillips is sort of mongrel English and Welsh and Scots and probably a few more> Sounds like a thoroughbred American. Pete Jones Thoroughbred Brit(English, Irish, Scots, Welsh, Spanish, Jewish, and probably a few more!) flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Wolf, Thanks. I'll E-Mail my address. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Ron, It differs inasmuch as you make up graphic effects in a sequence, complete with wipes, along a time scale, tell the program which track from a music CD you want to use, and Whammo! There are around a 1000 pictures from which to choose, and if you have the…
Richard, Cem has just given me Video Creator to review. My twelve-year-old son loves it. The weak points seem to be the relatively small amount that can be stored in memory, and the load/save limitation. Would the Communicator help with the later problem? Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels,…
Betty, I think that was a smart move by Compuserve. I also have a subscription to Genie. I rarely use it, since, with a European address, I am not allowed to connect at more than 2400, despite the fact that I would be paying full communication charges for a 9600…
Betty, Thanks for that info. I thought it would be something like that. So I carry a number which identifies me as one of those people who were mad enough to pay enormous charges to link to CompuServe. CIS should give us all a medal. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot…
Shane, Re CompuServe identities. Nope. Not necessarily. See my ID. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium

Fargo & switchbox?
Message #149011
Wolf, The guys at arXon do not seem to want publicity! They never responded to faxes I sent, and even after I spoke to one of them in person at one of the shows in Germany last year, explaining that I wanted to review it together with Studio for a…
Keesom, Kraut = allemand, duits, deutsch, german, and is normally a less-than-complimentary expression used by English speakers, taken from the alleged fondness of the Germans for eating cabbage. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels/Brussel/Bruxelles/Bruessel, Belgium
Gary, I believe that Advanced RISC Machines Ltd (ARM) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Olivetti. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Dale, Thanks for the update. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Rob, GPFax has a customised version especially for Supra. If it was bundled with the modem that is what you should have received, not the Generic one. Greg Perry's (GPFax) telephone number is +61 7 3661402. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Alexander, Amiga Format is a British publication. It is a general purpose Amiga mag. The same company, Future Publishing, also produces Amiga Shopper, a "serious mag., i.e. no games, and Amiga Power, games only. As to where you can buy them, that depends. Where do you live? Pete Jones, flying…
Ian, Try Studio by Wolf Faust. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Tony, If you get no replies to your request for shareware/freeware, you might like to check out the May issue of Amiga Format, which has a review of Vertex 2, a commercial program which will do what you want. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Martin, You must take into consideration that Acorn is not an independent company, but part of Olivetti. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Herman, the transfer…is that Wim? Pete
Richard, For the last nine months or so, Commodore Netherlands has been run by the guy running Commodore Belgium, or is there another Dutch company which is the Holding company? Pete
I was told by an Amiga distributor here in Brussels that he saw a PCMCIA CD32 add-on for the 1200 when he visited Commodore UK a couple of weeks ago. Could it be that he was looking at a third-party product? Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Sam, Shot at the turn of the century, actually. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Charles, There is a stock control program on the market for the Amiga, written by a friend of mine here in Brussels. It's in French only at the moment, so it hasn't exactly taken the U.K. market by storm! Would it be of interest to you to have some details…
Peter, I think AF may have got that wrong. I heard that it is a PCMCIA fit and that it would not be 100 percent compatible with the CD-32. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Roy, I'm not comparing my 'organe' with an apple or anything else. Pete Jones, flyin on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Betty, It its Croydon it will be 081, 071 is for central London. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Chris, The cheapest solution would be to use Parnet. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Shane, I found ReadySoft quite helpful. On my A4000-40 I could run AmaxIV ok, but it crashed when i tried to quit back to amigados. I faxed them, and they sent me the latest version of the software, 4.008: problem cured. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Barry, Studio by Wolf Faust, is an excellent driver and program for the HP DeskJet range. Versions exists for another printers as well. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
It's also devoid of grammatical accuracy, since 'media' is already plural. Multimedium would be better. As you say… a marketing buzzword.
Christopher, I believe the Apple GUI was lifted from SmallTalk by Rank Xerox. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
I have a Genie account and hardly ever use it. Because I am registered outside the States Genie charges me two dollars extra on the monthly rate and will not let me logon at more than 2400 baud. CompuServe took the bull by the horns and went for the world.…
Barbara, I finally managed to get the system up and running. The "slight" problem remaining is that when I select RESTART from the menu the system locks up and I have to reboot, If i select SHUT DOWN, the screen goes black and I have to reboot. I notice that…
Since the partition I set up was on a SCSI drive, my next step will be to try to put system 7 on the original A4000 IDE drive. Ho, Hum, never say die! Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
Karl, Yes. You are right. I was inserting a system 7 install disk, and it didn't like it cos it was only double density (I assume). I have now obtained the 1.4mb installer disks, and I got as far as installing the system on a hard disk partition. When it…
#A-MaxIV Start-up failure
Message #133763
Looking for help with A-MaxIV. I have installed the card in an A4000/40. Since I can access Amiga disks ok in DF0: I assume that I have correctly fitted the floppy disk drive cables. When I boot up A-MaxIV I get the first screen with the small disk icon in…
Paul, The Amiga fora are crawling with Australians! I can't go anywhere without falling over a message from one of them. Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
