Barry, Out of curiosity, which mergers did you use? I have a Digital Music Corp. MX-8 MIDI Patch Bay that allows for mergering. Haven't tried it yet with MX as configured in your message though. Regards, Allen
Todd, Thanks, I didn't even think about the ramifications of the OS. I'd like to see the emulator for the music/MIDI software it might run. Regards, Allen
David, If this is indeed a demo, why the hesitancy of uploading it? Regards, Allen
Richard, Thanks for the response and info. Now… what's 'The Reaper'? Regards, Allen
I downloaded the demo last night. Can't wait for it to hit the dealer's shelves!
Hi Daivd, Yes, been trying to save as much as possible. You know how it is for teachers during summer months 🙂 I read the Badger player info in a review. I don't have it handy, but I'll get it and post the info for you. It appeards to be…
I'd be VERY interested in your package if I could use it with Lattice. I'm not proficient enough with C or well versed enough with either compiler to be able to port from Manx to Lattice (at least I haven't been very successful with the things I've tried so far).…

ProWrite Demo
Message #16598
James, I have a CBM 2091 and do not have ARexx installed. I just noticed your reply about a problem with ProWrite 3.0 with this set up and was curious about it since I am planning on purchasing 3.0 when it hits my dealer's shelves. I have a program (ZeroMung)…
Melissa, Enjoy the trip. I'm sure you'll love Switzerland! 🙂 Regards, Allen
Melissa, I noticed that you said in the message I am replying to that you are releasing a Bars&Pipes player. Could you elaborate a bit on the features of this player? I've been looking for a player only program for MIDI for a long time. One that addresses the needs…
Kelly, I realize that your message was ment in jest and pointed more toward engineers, but I prefer: "If you can't do, you can't teach" 🙂 Regards, Allen
> We proudly distribute the #1 Amiga word processor, Pen Pal. Steve, just curious if this was from a sales stand point or what (ie., Pen Pal is the #1 seller at this time, etc.). Regards, Allen
Larry, When I type 'Alias' from the Shell prompt I get the aliases that are set in SYS:s/Shell-Startup. As a test, I renamed my Shell-Startup file so that Shell couldn't find it on startup. Sure enough, when I typed 'Alias' I got nothing. This could be your friend's problem. Here's…

BBS Software
Message #99463
Brian, Re: JRComm & Access… You might give BaudBandit a try. It's a nice implementation that rarely gets in your way. It'll do everything Access and JRComm will do (as far as I can tell). Regards, Allen
I was using the original version for Scribble! up until recently. I got The Works! (which has the Platinum Scribble! with it) and I really like it. I haven't found any problems with it and was curious as to what you were referring to as "many gotcha's". Thanks for any…
Just as a note Jim, SU is available on BBS-PC as well (has been since the first release. I believe the program was designed to be a mini-CIS clone). Regards, Allen
Betty, You have to take into account the cost of living in the LA area. not sure what it's like in Texas, but it's quite high around here. Orange County (just south west of LA county) has the second highest average home cost in the nation. Last year it was…
Arnie, What Amiga versions of 'those Mac programs (i.e. Midi)' are you referring too? M? MasterTracks? Those are the only two programs I can think of at this time that have been ports from the Mac. Thanks, Allen
Steve, I just recently purchased a 2091. While calling around for prices, one computer company (which I am sure everyone here would know if I mentioned their name) told me that in no uncertain terms would a hard drive fit on a 2091 controller. I would have to mount it…
Betty, Add my vote for an assembly language book when you talk to Jim, will you? Thanks, Allen
Speaking of making some real money, I saw some interesting stats this morning on a CBS info show. They indicated that programs average about $32,000 a year. Top out at around $37,000 – $40,000. I thought that was rather odd as a friend of mine is making well over $60,000.…
Nelson, You might have him check his preference settings. Here's what I have set: 64 lines 6 lpi Threshold 8 Aspect Horizontal Image Positive Smoothing On Density 4 (This should give 300 x 300 DPI) Scaling Fraction Center Off Hope that helps, Allen
Mike, I recently (Christmas time) bought a Desk Jet Plus and couldn't be happier! It's really a great printer. What you need to look at is if its weakness will fall into any of the catagories you specifically need. The weakness? Water-soluable (sp?) ink. The ink will run (and I…
Tony, One of the things some of the others forgot to mention is AMAX's lack of support for some types of programs that bypass the operating system. I'm not all that familiar with Macs, but I DO know that this would include any MIDI program and some game programs. Allen
OK Mike. Thanks for the quick response. Good luck with your forum application. Allen
Great Ray. I'm really glad that my message helped you out. Take care… Allen
Mike, A quick question… Why isn't the 5.05 Patch for Lattice available here? Thanks, Allen
Ray, Not sure if I got here. If it isn't here, I'd be glad to upload it. There is at least one other utility that does the same thing (basically) that I've seen in the new uploads recently (section 1). Zeromung looks at location 0 and alters its contents. If…
Darkin, I have a Panasonic 1091 printer and it works fine with my Amiga 2000. I use the EpsonOld printer drive (or did…before I got an HP Desk Jet +) Hope this helps, Allen
#2091 and location 0
Message #94614
Ever since I'd gotten my Commodore 2091 HD controller, I'd been mulling over why I could not load View to write messages. I could reply to messages just fine, but hitting the 'W' gadget found me making an unscheduled visit to the guru. I noticed that some of MSS's software…
Don, Ah… ok. that's what I'll use for my presentation then. Thanks for the help. Thanks as well to Larry and Mike! Regards, Allen
#CLI generic name
Message #94282
Anybody know what the traditional (or generic) name is of the CLI interface (ie. GUI – Graphic User Interface for the intuition interface)? Thanks, Allen
Vic, I didn't know you owned a Warrior! Can I go for a ride with you sometime? I have a Comm/Instr. rating but haven't been able to fly for the last two years due to insufficient funds (read that as working as a school teacher 🙂 Allen

#Pro MIDI Studio
Message #23262
Barry, I don't think so. Roy indicated that it was the standard sample sump program they are porting. You may want to contact him though to be sure. Don't have his PPN handy, but drop by the MIDI form and check out the member listings. Regards, Allen
Steve, You studied with both Joe and Johnny? That's great! I was in a master class with Joe several years back here in southern California. Although not really a guitar player myself, I learned a lot from that time. Regards, Allen
what the Amiga can do, Turtle Beach has asked SoundQuest to port their popular sample editor to the Amiga. No word on a release date as of yet. Hope this helps… Allen
Barry, You may want to talk with Bill Lewis 76701,35. He owns (at least one) EPS and is active in writing for the TransHacker (the Ensoinq mag. Hope I got the name right 🙂 I don't have an EPS, so I'm not about this.. Does it send and recieve standard…
Phil, I've had the chance to work a little bit with TIGER. Believe me, it's gonna be real nice to have something like that on the Amiga. Almost bought an ST for just that program (smile). Regards, Allen
For what it's worth guys, here's my entry for DMCS: DeluxMusic 306784 —-r-e- 31-Mar-87 Regards, Allen
Dom, > They are both (Music-X and M) a pleasure to use, and offer MANY (emphasis mine) features not available in Level II. Was wondering what you found in Music-X that was not in Level II. I am aware of keyboard mapping, the librarian and the Bar Editor. > They…
Vic, I think you missed my point. The MIDI.Library file is a set of libraries that aid in the communication of MIDI (simplified message ports, etc.). My suggestion was that you could include some MIDI utilities (as extensive as you want) and that if you needed any coding examples or…

Commodore demo. tape
Message #64428
I had a chance to speak with Kara (of Kara Fonts fame) Saturday. She showed me a demo tape that would knock your socks off! She uses this tape as a marketing tool however, and not a general purpose 'let's get em excited about Amigas' tape for the masses. She…
Jeff, MIDI communicates at 31,250. What laguage are you using to test out your equipment? If you are using C, there is a program available (it's up here, but the name escapes me – maybe MIDILIB.ARC or MIDI20.ARC) that does all of the work for you as far as interfacing…
David, Yes, I know about Smooth Clocker. Actually I have a lot of respect for Todor and his work. He was not only the first to really support the Amiga MIDI wise, he also continued and expanded his support even to the point of printing how to write supporting code…
#New Ear Training prog
Message #21491
Vic (and all), Read a review today in this month's edition of Electronic Musician about an ear traning and development program for the Atari ST and the Amiga. Not sure if it would meet your needs or not, and I forgot to bring the mag home with me. I'll post…
Mike, (learning C before assem) – I know… for some reason, C seems so foreign to me. Assem seems right at home. Evertime I pick up pick one of several of my 'learn C' books, I think of how much time I am missing practicing 🙂 I know some day…
> The potential for the Amiga in MIDI is great, we just need a few more blockbuster packages like Music-X to pave the way. Amen to that, David! Regards, Allen
Steve, While I'm not a professional programmer, I think the timing issue is one of lack of experience and not deficiencies in the multitasking OS. How do I know this? I am running "Morning Dance" by Jay Beckenstein (of Spyro Gyra) right now through Music-X while I am typing this…
I've been known to tackle a few serial boxes myself. 🙂 Regards, Allen
Brian, One of my closest friends is a music teacher. He has had a love for reading every since he can remember. This guy gets into anything (he'll spend hours and hours with his encyclopedia – a great guy to have on your team if you're playing trivia games). This…
