Phil, According to my GURU sheet, the 8000 0003 is probably an address error CPU trap… Mike Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
Hello, This is a topic for which I have an opinion. First, I believe that developers should develop for the 'latest' version of the operating system. This causes users to buy the upgrade to the new version, stimulating sales for Commodore. The reason new versions are developed is to make…
Hello Patrick, SBase4 Professional uses it's own database format internally, but it can read .dbf files. SBase4 does not support SQL and we are working on a LAN version which should be available in January. Mike Uman Oxxi, Inc. []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
Hello Ken, Yes, you can upgrade via CServe. But please do not post your Credit card information in the forum, please send it to 76711,457. Thank you, Mike uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
Andrew, I do not recall talking to you… The problem that Ilbeyi is referring to is a very tricky one. Here at Oxxi we have 8 Amiga's, each configured differently. We have Amiga 500's, Amiga 2000's, Amiga 2500's, Amiga 2500's with '030 accelerators, Amiga 3000's, and we will have an…
Dear Ilbeyi, I cannot answer your question right now but will probably be able to respond to your question this weekend. I will keep your message and get back to you this Monday. Thanks, Mike Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot

#Call for Programmers
Message #46093
Hello, I am compiling a list of SuperBase developers. People who would be interested in helping SBase users with application problems and solutions. Please EMail me a letter or post it here where people can see it. Many people ask me to recommend helpers, but I can't at this time.…
Dear Mr. Kapplin, PStat is still in the works. We are working on the documentation and packaging. The program is still in the hands of beta-testers. We estimate it should be 1st Qtr next year. Thank you, Mike Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot

Shannon, Unfortunately, I cannot find your disks, please call me @ (310) 427-1227 so that we can discuss what we are going to do from here. Thanks, MIke Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
Greg, I am sorry that you were not informed of the update. We made a large mailing to all currently registered owners. Either your registration is not in the database, or it was lost in the mail. Please send us your registration information so I can check if you're registered.…
Sorry Ms. Littauer, Please call our order desk @ (310) 427-1227, we can discuss this at that time. Thank you, Mike Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
Dear Mr. Littauer, We do indeed have your registration information. We indicate that you have version 1.06 which is correct. There is no V1.24 SuperPlan which we support. V1.06 is the current version. I am sorry but we do not look to upgrade the SuperPlan product within the next year.…
Do we have your registration information? Mike Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
Right, It used to work, but it should not work. I would strongly advise against opening the file on two workstations simultaneously. You can wipe out your files by doing that. I would thank your lucky stars that it won't open the files on both machines. We can do it…
Hello Gracia, I am sorry but I cannot recall our conversation. Please re-brief me on what you are talking about… Thanks, Mike Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
Wrongo Mike, SAS/C 6.0 does use quad files. It creates them in the objectcode directory. Mike Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
Hello, Is there any way in ELAN to mark files as shareable? On our Novell ACS software we can mark files as shareable and then we could access files on the file server. Thanks, Mike Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot

Sbase4 1.2 vs LAN
Message #45250
Sorry, We are working on the LAN version of SBASE4 … It should be released in two months. Working hard… Mike Uman
Dear Mr. Little, I have been informed that you had a problem with the Post Office. We never "refused" to accept your package. As far as we can tell, your package has been lost by the Post Office. We are attempting to rectify the situation and JoAnn has told me…
Hello, Send it back to Supra, we at Oxxi could not have put GPFax on the disk, we don't even have that software in-house. So send it to supra… Mike []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
SAS/C HELP.ME
Message #28840
Hey Now, We just got the new SAS/C 6.0 here at Oxxi. I am excited and have begun compiling SBase4 under 6.0. Already, I have fixed several problems involved in `porting' C programs between 5.0 and 6.0. I like the new options, very very nemonic {spelling?}. I like the scmsg…
Chris, Oxxi was at one time developing a spreadsheet for the Amiga. We published MaxiPlan for several years before getting rid of it. It is still a tech support nightmare. Personally, I wanted to work on the spreadsheet project, but Nooo… I had to work on the Novell NetWare project.…
Hey Now, I think you should reply to your IntuiMessage as soon as possible. Usually I get the code, window pointer, subcode, etc. and reply immediately. That's the way I do it… Mike Uman []xxi, Inc. >>> running under AutoPilot
hmmm… "high" orders and "Zen" catalogs… Maybe the reason Apple can charge so much for Mac peripherals is the knowledge their customers are _addicted_! Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
I hope Todd isn't implying that an external party can ruin a company -unless that person is a "power in the land". (Gee, Dom, I never knew you were related to the Kennedys!)
..zzZZZIP! Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Charles, many games also support play via modem. If the Telecommunications program allows use of a null modem hookup, Riccardo might use A-Talk III with one multi-serial card, plus two or more additional modems to create a local network for the purpose. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Tom, if the "one person" is sufficiently highly-placed in the company, or in a customer-interface at the right position, yes, one person can destroy a company's reputation. For example, a malicious customer service rep in a small company can promise all kinds of things — delivery by a certain date,…
I can also testify that Illustrator and many (though not all) utilities work nicely on the AMAX II system. We also use Quark Express with no problems. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Chris, I've used Enforcer only in the course of beta-testing Presentation Master, and only in a very cursory way (I just set it up to run as soon as I turned on my machine) — I hope someone else in the forum can answer your question. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi…
I just was jogging Kevin's elbow about this on the wekend, he thinks there may be a solution to this one in the next few days. "You'll hear it here first!" Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Ernie, you have a numeric value in the JDAY(n) expression. So for a cell (let's call it C10) of JDAY(n), the next cell down would be JDAY(n+14), next would be JDAY(n+28), and so on. One way to accomplish this is to have a separate column way off to the right…
Yes, I have Enforcer, but since I don't get involved in the direct programming, I hadn't noticed the option. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Thanks, Steve. Say, should I still be expecting a little package in the mail (either Easy-Plex or Snail)? Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Betty, is Enforcer Quiet a PD routine or is Quiet an option of the Enforcer routine? Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Homer, a good spreadsheet has been a concern of the Amiga development industry for some years now. In this, we have been hampered by the existence of MaxiPlan (good, but flawed) and Superplan (flawed, but good). The problem is that better spreadsheets HAVE been designed and placed on the market,…
Yes, but what other logo can be typed on CIS? Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Thanks for your assessment — I agree, the local directory should be checked. I'll pass on the suggestion to Mike. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
What you want to do is /Format the column with /Options:Display. This allows you to set the display format for dates. Then enter the dates as Julian numbers (see page 1-46 for JDAY and JDATE functions), which can be operated on as integers — the correct date for the Julian…
Yay, Bill! That's the kind of assessment tech support people _love_ to see — a complete rundown of the environment in which the problem occured. Okay, now it's over to me. What I suggest you try as a test is copying the start.sbp file into the same directory with the…
Yes, Mike, it was received and passed to Gary Bonham. I do know he looked it over, because we were discussing revisions in the beta team last week. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Ah! Thanks for letting me know it got there — I wonder if you'll now receive another from the pipeline? (There were two sent, and stranger things have been known to happen.) If it does arrive, just use it as a backup disk. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Yes, the accelerator will interfere with the speech functions of the game. Glen Merriman, the program's developer, is now working full-time (for an Amiga developer, yay!), so his next version may be a bit delayed. I don't play "real" pool, but I did find that playing with Fast Eddies has…
Most likely it will need to be ordered from here and shipped through the mail. By the way, in the process of testing the Start.sbp file for the Runtime Module, I noticed that when I launched the regular SBpro4, it also started using the Start.sbp. That's the standard 1.01 version…
Thanks, Chris — yes, I am interested, I'll give them a call. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
This is a book? a videotape? a party? (Well, you did say "a gathering of most of the original group" …) More info! please. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
This problem has been corrected in the Beta 1.2 version. NOTE: this is still in beta-test. Regards, Whap!penned… Pat @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
