Robert, Copy it to ram:, go to ram:, type lha138.run it will unpack itself. Then you can copy LHA (the program itself) to your C: directory. I'd also suggest reading the docs. Anytime you forget the commands or options you can type LHA on the shell and it will display…

Alex, No, I think it's 5 hours now. If you have summer time, it'll be six hours for a few weeks until the U.S. goes back to standard time too, when it will be five hours difference again. And yes, EDT/EST is the time used in New York. It's Eastern…

Joe, No, that won't work at all. You should be able to view GIFs with a good viewer program, I'd suggest ViewTek, or Superview, both of which are here in our libraries (search using the word viewer, or Viewtek or Superview). If you're running an ECS or OCS machine without…

Joe, I'm not sure what you mean by "Jps". What type of file is this? You need a uudecoder for the UUe files. You can find several here, UUINOUT1.LHA, UUXT.LHA or UUCODE.LHA should all work fine. I use (and have registered) Uuxt. Asha @}–,–`–

Ian, The only "west coast" show (WOA) I know of in recent years was the last WOA in Pasedena in '92. There used to be Ami-Expos in San Francisco and Oakland, but I don't remember anything any further north than that. I'm hoping they'll be a WOA in California sometime…

James, You may be right, and if you are, and PC aps don't run on this system, then they're probably not going to get too far with it, especially with no software to intice customers. But the system intrigues me, and I plan on following the information to see what…

Dan, It's a shame there isn't an 800 number one can call when these things happen. I'd love to help someone get the Preview Amiga up and running again, or just tell them it's crashed (which is what I see most often). Ah well…it's always fixed by the next morning.…

Kenneth, Since the operating system is copyrighted, you'll need to either get back to whomever you got the system from or to an Amiga dealer and explain the situation. Another option would be to purchase the OS (it would probably be a different OS, as I don't think 1.3, which…

Franz, Actually there have been two conferences per weekend for the last month or so, and I'm getting more Europeans attending on the Sunday CO's than the Saturday ones (even if both are general conferences). What do you think about Friday conferences? Asha @}–,–`–

Peter, Friday would be quite possible, and possibly even better for me than Saturday! Sunday would be impossible, and would have me online for conferences almost all day (they're tending to last up to two hours, so that would be from 2:00-4:00 and then again from 6:00-8:00…MUCH too much for…

Dan, Sounds like the Preview channel! Seems that almost nation-wide the Preview channel is running on Amigas. I've seen the old "Guru meditations" (black and red screen) several times (mostly late at night or early in the morning), but I've never seen a workbench screen….. 🙂 Asha @}–,–`–

Randy, Virtually all external modems will work with your Amiga. When you buy one you can use a good PC modem cable with it also. I'm using a Supra 14.4 FAX modem, and it works perfectly well. Others prefer USRs, and still others like other brands. As for software, I'd…

Franz, I'm aware that the Sunday conferences are rather late for the European crowd. That's why we started the Saturday ones. It is up to the vendors as to when they want to schedual their conferences, and so far, all of the ones I've contacted want to do it on…
