AllAnyone, I used the -S switch on my "Insider" the other day to spring forward, (better thlate than never, eh?) and it bumped the dtime and the datey., ie. Tuesday to Wednesday. So I quickly tried the -F switch hoping it would bump it back, no luck! So now I'm…

#69514- #Kampfgruppe? Message #69772
From: Sid Tinsley The Amiga Forum · Games May 29, 1987 4:49 AM
Dave, Think I might have found something on the 0 unit problem. A German 88-flak was "Wespe'd" and instead of destroyed it was left as a zero strength. My T-34s would auto select it, could not destroy it, and the zero would act as a spotter for the Wespe latter…
68010 Benchmark Message #52469
From: Sid Tinsley The Amiga Forum · Talk to the Trade February 4, 1987 7:02 PM
Bela, FAKE…FAKED… I'm ashamed . The reason I left the error numbers here was because I thought they were a little on the high side (for Double Precission that is). I checked them again, and the code too. True Basic was +1.00302 and AmigaBasic was .99999932… Not to hot if…

Rick, Add me to the list of interested people. Save me the trouble of "fingering" it out myself. Sid

From: Sid Tinsley The Amiga Forum · Games February 4, 1987 5:20 PM
Don, I'm not exactly certain what your after but, as far as gold and/or magic items, I go back to the Guild and transfer it to one of the lames (Those not adventuring with this group). Then if I ever need say the gold, just amble back to the Guild…

#51060 #Basic Help Message #51333
From: Sid Tinsley The Amiga Forum · Amiga at Work January 28, 1987 11:00 PM
Gene, I investigated your problem; and sure enough there appears to be a bug. MENU 5,1,2," Checked":MENU 5,1,1," Uncheck" fails Doing these commands will NOT reset the check mark. Only redefining the Menu title will allow this series of commands to work. Toggling MENU 5,1,2," Test":MENU 5,1,1 will work all…

From: Sid Tinsley The Amiga Forum · Hardware December 15, 1986 5:30 AM
Don, A couple of days ago you left a message to Kerry Person about the WCS in the Amy, (it has already scrolled). What my questions deal with are; 1) I wonder what everyones feelings about having the WCS are NOW after having their systems for awhile, do they like/hate…

Well I just couldn't wait to get my rear "thrashed", and believe me this prog didn't disappoint me. From an ex-USCF rated player, who hated Chess programs as being too SLOOooooowwww, I've got one comment: WOW!!! 1) Disk is copy protected (Booo) 2) But games can be saved to a…

#25186 #Basic Windows Message #25632
From: Sid Tinsley Forum unknown · Programming July 6, 1986 3:59 PM
My test program is almost an exact copy of John Chen's (msg25586), and it worked too. But if I changed the type/mode in the window statement to an odd setting (17,19,etc) then the program bombed. Now to deepen the mystery, if I opened a small window (0,0)-(100,100), then all modes/types…
