In that case *any* shareware product is a commercial product after you have paid for it. Incidentily I obtained my copy of the demo version of AutoPilot from CIX not CompuServe.. Adrian It's really happening to Ya!
George, PMFJI >I connected once to CIS by a demo version of Autopilot I found in a >library.using the LONDON node >But the program looked not to be working properly (It could be the fact >that it was just a demo) I am surprised at this as I usd the…
Good to hear it. If you have any problems just ask, either here, or if the problem is with autopilot ask in the AmigaVendor forum. Adrian It's really happening to Ya!
I have heard that rule too, but I thought it refered to disconecting the equipment, not merely switching it off and on except where the item draws upon the Amiga for it's power (eg the disk drive). Would you extend the rule too printers as well? It is the printer…

No bother, how are you getting on? Adrian It's really happening to Ya!
>And your CIAs are still working!!!!!????? >I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER switch on/off the modem with the CPU switched >ON!!! I thought that the modems power supply was buffered to prevent damage occuring. I have to admit that I have been treating the modem simliarily to the printer. I will take…
There is some confusion here, and it's probably all mine. I have reread the instruction manual and Appendix B is; a) on pages 96 and 97 of my book and b) in two parts, one for class 1 fax modems and the other for class two modems. I know of…
There is a routine to do this about somewhere. I have never had to do this myself so I don't know if it is any good. Where is it? Sorry I can't answer that one. I assume that it is around here somewhere…If you have trouble finding it and wish…
PMFJI Your comment about GPFax asking "where is the modem?" struck a chord with me. Have you got your serial prefs set as appendix B requires? I found that if I had RTS/CTS handshaking enabled (as I do for most of my comms work) instead of XON/XOFF that GPFax wants…
Great, its good to hear that you've sorted it out yourself. BTSIDIBTTS I don't know if it significant that your spell checker doesn't know "quit" but a less generous person than myself may think it is that you do. Adrian
From the depths of my memeory I *seem* to remeber something like your first problem happening to me. I *think* it was due to an incorrect assign. Check that the assign points exactly to where the program is installed. I', sorry, I can't help you with your second problem. Adrian
I agree, the way the manual is writen is important. I have to read quite a few "american" manuals from time to time. Although I can understand them the differences in the "common" language detract from the message that the autho(u)rs intend. Regarding yours date problem. I have just had…
PMFJI I use Protext too. Although it doesn't help with the manual I beleive that the configuration program for Protext allows the date used to be the American (or Scandinavian one too) if you want it so. Adrian Neal Flying high on AutoPilot
Steve, Which Workbench are you using? With 1.3 there is a program called "setmap", found, I think in either the "c" directory or the "utilities" directory of the system disk. It is this program that alter the keyboard from the default "usa" one to the "gb" one. From what you…
Nancy, I hope you had better luck this time. They must have mis-understood you before. Most of the trap-door expansions, memory, accelorators etc. have a clock on them too, that must be what they thought you wanted. Having just checked thier advert in Amiga Shopper I see they still advertise…
>There are only one or two word processors available on the Amiga with the >capabilities to use the fonts internal to the printer. One is called >WordsWorth and I forget what the other one is, if it exists! (great >memory here) Protext? It's the one I use. When it comes…
Nancy, there is a clock module that fits most A1200's. However fitting it invalidates the warrantly. It costs about 15 ukp and is availiable from many retails outlets such as First Choice of Leeds and TriLogic (where I got mine). It is quite easy to fit but does involve openning…
Many thanks for the advise, I will look into them. Adrian
There's nothing wrong in continuing to use something that is familiar. I do like AutoPilot as I think it saves me a small fortune :-), however there are times that AutoPilot is just not man enough for the job. Then I log in manually. You could argue that by always…
#New to "C"
Message #37623
I am just about to start to learn how to program in "C". Could any-one offer any advise? Which books would the best bet to start with? Adrian
Not quite, I'm British you see and I got it from a company called First Chioce Computer Centre of Leeds. Cost me about 50 ukp, ?70 dollars. Adrian
I also have a 144LC, *and* GPFax software (for Class One). I think it is the generic version for class 1 fax. It seems to work just fine so far. Adrian
I would try AutoPilot, I did and registered it almost straight away. I stii\ll log on manually once and a while, but most of my work on CompuServe is "done on AutoPilot". Adrian
A tick means to select the item, a cross means not to select it. Sorry I didn't make myself clearer. Adrian
Rob, Having just completed a quick sesson with Term 3.1 with the settings below I know they work with that version and I would think they work with 3.4 as well. Anyway give a go. Serial preferences were as recommended by CompuServe ie 9600 baud, "7-1-E". Within Term use the…
