Whoops, got my anacronyms mixed up! I'll keep an eye on what happens with the Amiga. I'll still keep one of my Amiga's (the 4000), for a while at least. My two systems for the office need upgrading and I can't really wait to see if C=UK or CEI get…
#CEI/CBM Status
Message #173881
Mark, The reason that the Amiga did so well over here (the UK) is that Nintendo wasn't available until relatively recently. By the time it was available hundreds of thousands of A500s had already been bought so there was already a good awareness of Amiga when the A1200 was introduced.…
Richard, Thanks that gives me something to go on. Greg
#TC Calculator
Message #43734
Does anyone know of a Time-code calculator for the Amiga? Thanks, Greg
Bill, Thanks For the info. Greg
Thanks Ron, The only real advantage for me would be the faster file system and I'm not sure that it's worth the hassle just for this. Thanks for the info. Regards, Greg
Ron, Can you tell me what advantage 3.1 has over 3.0? Thanks, Greg
You sure your name is Richard. Sounds more like Del Trotter to me!! Greg
That's a good idea. Greg
Andrew, What is SWREG? Haven't had chance to see Babylon 5, I've been really busy the last few weeks. Greg
Andrew, I was the one trying to get round the demo expiry. The reason for this is that I paid my registration fee of $45 well over two months ago and have still not received the registered version. I need the date stamp on my downloads so turning my system…
That goes along with what I heard. I also heard that Philips made some pretty serious threats. Whatever the reasons, the companies managed to keep DAT out of the consumer market and they are now trying to palm off inferior quality products to a general public that don't know how…
In that case your prices don't compare to UK prices. DCC and DAT can both be bought for around $850. Greg
Sorry, I don't know what the exchange rate is to compare the prices that I'm familiar with. Can give me an idea in sterling or dollars? Greg
Why not say DAT, if DAT machines were manufactured for the mass market instead of for the exclusive use of the professional market they would actually be cheaper than MiniDisk or DCC. Even some of the professional DAT machines are only marginally more expensive than the consumer DCC and MiniDisk.…
"It wasn't bad, considering" Considering what? Considering that there is a format available out there that is tried and tested and of a far superior quality. DAT. DAT machines are priced at the moment for professional use only but if the big playeers wanted to introduce it to the consumer…
You really think that the Digital Compact cassette was a good invention? Greg
Charles, Your message it close to word perfect of the latest info that I've been given. Greg
Problem with this is that I would probably have to reconfigure it all again. Greg
Andrew, We live half a mile off the A1 a couple of miles past Huntingdon, let me know when your comming and I'll fax you a little map. Greg
The v3.0a of Wordworth seems to be very good but as they have taken off the postscript support (only a short while) I haven't bothered using it. Greg
Thanks, This is what I'm having to do. Greg
Ernest, I've tried this Internet address and I'm still waiting for a reply after about 2 weeks! Greg
Micheal, Problem is the eveluation copy now refuses to run and I'm without my Terminal program. I use AP for CompuServe but for my other BBS's I'm stuck. Greg
Hi Andrew, I wasn't accusing you of butting in, from the way your reply read I just thought you may have sent it to me by mistake :^) I don't have Final Writer, as I already had WordWorth and I didn't know very much about Final Writer I thought I'd…
#Terminus
Message #145230
Does anyone know how to get the registered copy of Terminus? I've been using the evaluation copy and I sent off the registation fee some weeks ago, but I've heard nothing. I've sent E-Mail to both a compuserve address and an internet address (jprad@faatcrl.faa.gov) but I've not received any reply.…
Wrong again, Each person in Europe is operated by 4 Amigas :^)
Hi Andrew, I know about WordWorth III, I'm one of the other 4! I've got a HP Lazerjet 4ML, so although version 3 is installed on my PA's machine she is still using version 2. Reading your message again, did you mean to send your reply to me or Paul?…
Paul, I can see good reason for you to get angry but if you are going to argue it would help if some of your figures were at least ball park. The potential user base in Europe (ie. 2000's, 3000's or 4000's) is probably more than 200 times less than…
I know from my conversations with some of the Amiga conoscienti here in the UK that this situation has been expected for several months. Although I don't know any of the details I do know that Dave Pleasance (MD of C= UK) has just flown out to NY to try…
Thanks, I'll give it a go. Greg
#A4000 + Maxtor
Message #142570
A friend of mine has an A4000/030 with a 210meg Maxtor drive. Apart from the problem with it not speeding up quickly enough he also seems to be having quite a few other problems with it. Data seems to "go missing" quite often, don't know where it goes or why!…
Thanks Peter, I found a program in the Libs that will do the conversion, the only problem was that most of the sounds used were sampled chords and loops so I'm going to have to do the whole thing by ear! Greg
Thanks, I would really appreciate getting hold of this terminal program, either E-Mail or public libs would be great. Thanks again, Greg
#OctaMed to MIDI
Message #40782
I've been given a file from OctaMed which I have to convert into a MIDI file. I've got hold of a copy of OctaMed but it is not obvious how or if it is possible to save the file in MIDI format. Can anyone help? Thanks, Greg
Thanks Tom Greg
I need a terminal program that will allow me to take advantage of RIP so if you have any more news I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Greg
Yes SB does have a LazerJet file but it doesn't work even as well as the prefs one that I have. Thanks anyway, Greg
#Printing Problem?
Message #138231
Thanks Dale, I've just downloaded it. CMD seems to be working fine but if I have any problems I'll switch. I have just discovered that my new version of SBase4 will display outline fonts but prints them through my prefs printer driver. The output is like very average bit mapped…
Thanks for the excellent advice. I managed to get CMD to work from the WBStartup drawer, but the print spooler sounds like a great idea. Do you happen to know where I can get a printer driver for my HP Lazerjet 4ML? Wordworth prints out through it own postscript driver…
Thanks Dale, I finally managed to get CMD to work properly. There is an option that allows multi-files to be printed but when this option is used in the SHELL it didn't seem to want to know. Using the multifile option in the icon and then putting CMD into the…
#Redirect Output
Message #40342
Can anyone help? I got what seems to be a simple problem but I don't know enough to solve it and it's driving me CRAZY! I need to redirect all output sent to the PAR: device to another device. Is there something I can put in my startup sequence? Another…
Thanks for the message, I've got a little further. What I need to do now is redirect everything going to the PAR: device to another device. I'd like to put something in the startup sequence. I've tried everything I can think of but no luck, I'm trying to do this…
#Network Printing
Message #137789
I'm just in the process of networking two A2000's, I've got to get it done by the time everyone gets back to work on Tuesday. I'm using Enlan-DFS and I've exported PRT: from the A2000 attatched to the printer, but how do I get the client to send all it's…
Juan: Thanks for your reply but I didn't really understand. You spoke about mapping the workbench 1.3 on my A4000/040. The "Set040" program seems to map the ROM well enough but it is ROM mapping on the A4000/030 that would be useful. As I don't think the 030 CPU in…
Thanks for the advice, but I believe that the CPU used in the A4000/030 does not have an MMU. Greg
ROM Mapping
Message #137604
I've tried the Set040 program on my A4000/040 and it seems to do the job well but I've also got an A4000/030, does anyone know of a similar program to mapp the ROM for this processor? Thanks, Greg
Rick: Thanks a lot, I've just just seen it in the files area so I'll download it. Thanks again, Greg
Thanks for your reply, do you know where I can find any more information on the two programs you mentioned "AmiQwk II" or "BlueWave"?. Are they both commercial programs? Thanks again, Greg
#.QWK/RIP?
Message #137232
I have to reguarly log onto a BBS which supports RIP graphics and .QWK. First question, what does any of this mean? Second question, which would be the best comms programs to take advantages of the above features? Thanks for any help, Greg
