Martin, i'm interested in the 4091 board. If you know about a reasonable possibility to move the $150 via the atlantic…:-) (e.g.visa :-?) Btw, is the Buster rev.11 chip included in your ad as it should have been delivered ?? regards, Dieter Goettmann jetting on AP1.80 oo from Karlsruhe, Germany…
Bart, >If I were to translate a text from english to flemish, I wouldn't think of translating it into russian and then into flemish. Same thing goes for programming.>Same thing goes for programming.>I took over the responsibility for the department I am working for

Betty, >…most macros are a sort of 'program' that runs. Not quite the same as plain text< What about formatted text ?? (Even a cr or a lf is a format instruction :-)) The embedded macros in word documents where thought to be nothing more than ,even complex, format instructions.…
Asha, you're welcome 🙂 Dieter Goettmann jetting on AP1.80 from Karlsruhe, Germany
Greg, >(say MS-Windows vs X11, or C++ vs MS-Windows)< valleys vs mountains, apples vs pears…:-? Dieter Goettmann jetting on AP1.80 \/ 11 /\ from Karlsruhe, Germany /\ || on /==\MIGA
Asha, as i remember, i had also problems with Tapavi…since it is a descendant of Xanims which supports less avi formats, i pushed it back to the archives 🙂 I haven't tried the audio options ( +Ae ) for no need. You may also need +Av[0..100] for volume control. For…
Bart, thank you for so much agreement 🙂 Sorry, but i fear i can't help you with MS.* I doubt there are _any_ concepts… If you go to XWindows, you'll find again a lot of classes and methods with respect to AmigaOS w boopsi – i know, its programming interfaces…
Greg, Replay: using OO techniques is a matter of style and not of a language. Add: To me, a language is a medium to transport my ideas to others, or for instance instructions to a computer. If a language does this well, i'll use it, otherwise not. Independent of a…
Asha, sorry not to mention it explicitly before, 'cause using a picasso board was self-evident to me in that case (e.g. "setenv X11/gfxcard 1"). As i remember, AGA works, but i'm using a picasso mode. So it should do without AGA also. regards, Dieter Goettmann jetting on AP1.80 from Karlsruhe,…
Greg, I'm arguing for the OO side, of course. Reviewing my programming styles back to '72, using object classes and methods grew up in a natural-like matter, with a kind suppport of amiga os libraries in the last eight years. As a result, prototypes and reusable code were a convenient…
Jim, thank you for refreshing my memory about BCPL and AmigaDOS 🙂 but >But for compatibility reasons, we still have to live with those B-pointers and B-strings< No. My compiler handles that for me. If not, i would have a method for that 🙂 >That's close to the OO idea…
Asha, Extracted from the (amiga|xanim).readme files, try this: —————–8
Bart, > The Amiga OS has, to the best of my knowledge, NOT being written in such a language.< To my knowledge, is was written _before_ OO-programming was en vogue 🙂 It was B, the predecessor of C, and C itself, the successors of A(ssembler), able to write hardware- and…
Bart, >As far as I am concerned, OO makes programs slower, bigger, more buggy, .. than plain good (not too structured) programming.< Hmmmmmmmm, the exec kernel is true OO. Imnsho, its a didactic play of fast, small and stable OO code. Since i used exec to handle my lists and…
Changes at CIS!!!
Message #208390
Hi Jochen, Thanks for your obvious infos…:-) Of course, I've tried the Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Munich nodes too, got lots of dropouts at Stuttgart, less at Frankfurt and Munich 😐 But they can't really beat the local phone rates i get at Karlsruhe now… You know the "autobahn problem"?? __…
This came from Eduard Joseph 74603,3262, it's supposed to be addressed to you: Kevin, I beleive Linux has been updated to version 1.2 to match the PC version in both the Amiga and Atari versions. Last time the Amiga version was supposely moving from beta to release as soon as…
Kevin, there is Linux , currently version _0_.9 patchlevel 8, as Eduard Joseph mentioned before. Anyone else mentioned Minux, an outdated didactic piece for os builders by Andrew S Tannenbaum. Another Un*x clone is NetBSD 1.0 , since half a year available on various ftp sites as ftp.iastate.edu Anonymous FTP,…
Rick, just one step further…:-) Unless You have one of the 2060, 2065 or Ariadne ethernet cards give Configure a(ny) hostname and just a domain.name and answer any else network question with _NO_! The subject here is a _permanent_ network configuration. Otherwise , 'cause it won't find a net card,…
Rick, (small) congratulations! I didn't expect a hardware problem :-). Now, You have to remove the terminating resistors from _all_ drives except the _last_one_ in the chain! Regardless of their scsi addresses(!). More, it is recommended ( but not essential neccessary ) to terminate the cable at the controller side…
Rick, first an Erratum: the correct name of the sync inhibit bit is _sbic_inhibit_sync ^ When Your drives are recognized, then Your partitions should be also. On startup, only drives are listed. As mentioned before, the drives will be recognized by name, interface type, and physical parameters. At the prompt…
Rick, 1. My Boot hangs sometimes also. *Try* a second one… 2. Maybe it is the scsi controller : *Try* the generic kernel. I've also problems running code from scsi drives 🙁 on an 2091). a) But: the controller should be recognized. In bootup, the kernel lists memory and cards…
Rick, consult the installation docs:-) < HDToolBox wants a filename to define a new dostype> You _don't_ need a dostype (i.e. AmigaOS filesystem) on NetBSD partitions when You don't want to access them by AmigaOS. Even that is done by bffs in the NetBSD distribution. The changes in HDToolbox restrict…
#EsC=om in dutch TV
Message #197667
Bart, sorry, but to me it would be exceptional if there where anything else but extremely positive about their new possession. Especially if the own that magazine as i guess to remember from another message. But i'm not sure, 'cause the hard drive with the message base on it refused…

Bart, nice. :-)) Dieter. Dieter Goettmann jetting on AP1.80 from Karlsruhe, Germany
Jim, obviously there is no plan visible, but even chaos results of order in detail… Dieter Dieter Goettmann jetting on AP1.80 from Karlsruhe, Germany
Bart, sorry for having no belgium dictionary. >>..their overall plan 🙂
>> Ugly, very ugly…
Paul, two words about dead technology and sillyness to think.. It was the fate of your so-called "dead technology" to be _miles_ahead_ from that of clone-PCs, even of Macs. Look at OS/2 and you will find multitasking and OOP properties; a decade after AmigaOS. Apple is trying to implement multitasking…
#HD Lockup Problem
Message #195068
Chip, looks like the Disk Validator is checking your drive, because the file system doubts about the drive integrity. It then checks the hole drive block by block and again, while other tasks are normally running. So there are a lot of nearly contiguous drive accesses. Mostly this is caused…
Escom Wins
Message #194689
Jerry, there were companies here: Vobis, that signed two weeks later for a "per system" licence of Win95, and Escom. They may have sales of $US 2-billion…here in central europe the profit margins are about $15 per PC. I'm not sure if IBM wants much sharing…they want to get. If…
