#Wot, No News ?
Message #157756
Where's all the rumours ? OH NO !!! That's it. Even the rumours about the Amiga are dead. *sob* Driving my deck on AutoPilot
Hamlab-author where?
Message #42355
Harald, I tried to register HamLabPlus about 5 months ago but my cash was returned as sender not found by the U.S. Postal Office. I sent the cash to the 163 Powers Lane, Rochester, NY 14624 USA address in the HamLab docs. I'd suggest trying to contact Ed by e-mail…
#Assign Script Problem
Message #155860
Can anyone help me ? I have two CompuServe accounts; one personal and one for work. Consequencially I have two copies of AutoPilot on my drive, each registrered to a different account. I have grown tired of calling the "Execute Command…" requester and typing in the assign path to switch…
Hi Remo, when I was first getting into comms I used NComm. It works fine with BBS's as you have found. It does not work well with CompuServe however when it comes to file transfer. ( My theory is that it can't handle the change from 7E1 for interactive connect…
Hi Brian, what versions do you use ? I've got XPRBlus v2.0 and XPRQuickB v1.-1 ( or so the version command says anyway ) are there later versions ? best, Tony Driving my deck on AutoPilot
Mario, I've NEVER managed to get Quick-B protocol to work with Term or NComm. When I'm not using AutoPilot I use Term v3.4. If you want to upload message ascii files you will have to use the very slow xmodem protocol – this takes ages but it works. For file…
Motorola Invaders
Message #41208
Motorola Invaders Someone was posting desparate messages pleading for someone to upload the above shareware game. That someone will be happy to hear I've done it. Hopefully the Sysops will OK the upload and put it in the Games library soon. best, Tony. Driving my deck on AutoPilot
Keith, I tried the 14400 node. It works fine. My Workbench serial prefs were at 19200 baud, no parity, 8 bit, 1 stop bit. My Term serial prefs had to be DIFFERENT however – 7 bit, even parity, 1 stop bit, 19200 baud ( connects at 14400 baud ). I…
#2 New (UK) Amiga Mags
Message #145567
Paul, I'll give Amiga Pro / 32 some bad reviews if you like… 1. The Doc Sorrel piece was a waste of space without printing the code, and a detailed explanation thereof. You try learning something practical with a brief overview and then saying "log onto CIX to actually see…
Kieth, I can't actually help with your 14400 problem, but I've got exactly the same setup as you, except my Amiga is an A4000/30. What is the London 14400 node number ? I'll give it a try ( I'll be dialing from Liverpool ). I don't know if this is…
68030EC to 68030?
Message #143425
Shraddhan, I'm in Liverpool, England – how much was the non-EC 68030 and where did you get it from ? best wishes, Tony. Driving my deck on AutoPilot
flpy-drvs that go thunk
Message #139430
Matthew, glad to be of help. It really depends on what you use your Amiga for whether to get the ECS chips. I would say if you use your Amiga for a lot of graphical work ( DPaint, Imagine, etc. ) or music sequencing ( OctaMED ) then it might…
Jim, I have never seen the differences between C and C++ summarised so explicity and concisely – well done. Tony. Driving my deck on AutoPilot

Message #40193
Does anyone know of a PD prog that will load in successive 256 colour IFF images and output an ANIM file of them ? All help appreciated. Tony W. Driving my deck on AutoPilot
IFF to ANIM help
Message #40262
Does anyone know of a PD program that will load in successive 256 colour IFF pics and output a single ANIM file ? All help appreciated. Tony. Driving my deck on AutoPilot
Chris, your internal HD shouldn't make any sound apart from when it boots up or when it is read/writing. Tony. Driving my deck on AutoPilot
Jonathan, My '030 A4000 is the same as usual – over here in Britain we've never heard of a "cost-reduced" A4000. Is this a new rumour or an actual new-spec ( cut-down? ) A4000? Tony Driving my deck on AutoPilot
Dale, initially I used Term on Compuserve, when you get downloading working get AutoPilot ( the sysop will tell you which Amiga forum and library it is in ). AutoPilot is THE BEST PROGRAM to use with Compuserve. When I started, I used Term v3.4. The following worked for me…
Jonathan, '030 based A4000s are readily available where I am ( England ). Where are you ? Tony. Driving my deck on AutoPilot
Matthew, its not just the A2000's floppy drives that click every few seconds – all Amiga models' floppy drives click ( I don't know why ). There are several PD programs about used to rmedy this. If you are using Workbench 2.04 or greater get KCommodity and put it in…

Alan, I'm at a loss to help you any further. Has MagicMenu's preferences file been corrupted ? Have you tried deleting MagicMenu and re-installing ? The version I am running is 1.29 released 23/11/93 Hope you get it working.
Alan, The answer probably lies in the programs you are running in your User-startup and WBStartup drawer. If another program patches the same OS libraries and calls as the ones MagicMenu does, then it can effectively "wipe out" MagicMenu even when Exchange says it is still running. Try removing your…
Neil, just jumping in to answer your question. When I run SysInfo on my 60EC030 A4000 it plainly says: FFP: NONE ( Boo-hoo ) Tony. Driving my deck on AutoPilot
Mark, I've just read your reply to the user asking about downloading weather maps. I didn't know AutoPilot displays GIFs whilst downloading. How do I get it to do this ? ( I am using the registered version ). Thanks Tony. Driving my deck on AutoPilot
#Help with Faxing
Message #136183
I've got a US Robotics Sportster 14400 Fax modem which I use with my Amiga 4000/30. Does anyone know of some shareware / PD fax software which I can use with this setup. P.S. I'm in Britain if this makes a difference.
Kenneth, download the KCommodity program by Kai Iske. Its a commodity that runs in the backgroud that includes the facility to stop drive clicking as well as a hundred and one other useful things. Best wishes, Tony Williams Driving my deck on AutoPilot
