#168541 Terminus Message #168547
From: Jim Menix Amiga User Forum · Communications October 20, 1994 5:41 PM
Thanks Don, I tried it on and off and no change. It seems strange because the screen pauses, then when I use Control Q it is like it catches up. The screen scrolls really fast untill it reaches the data that is currently being sent by CompuServe. I think Terminus…
#Terminus Message #168444
From: Jim Menix Amiga User Forum · Communications October 20, 1994 12:00 AM
Hi, Has anyone had any problems with Terminus when pressing Control S and Control Q to pause the display? Once I press Control S to pause the screen, 5 seconds later it gurus. I cann't seem to find what causes it. Different Emulations, changing buffers,.. nothing keeps it from doing…

Gary, Did your friend try Tenex? I don't have their catalog anymore, but they had the 286 mini module last month for $40. I don't get Amiga World anymore so I don't know if they advertise in there or not. Jim

From: Jim Menix Amiga User Forum · Classified October 4, 1994 10:39 PM
Tim, I used to play Their Finest Hour on my 1 meg 500. It runs a little slow, but you can adjust the detail for a little more speed. I would guess it would be about $3 to ship. If you want it, can you send me a money order?…

From: Jim Menix Amiga User Forum · Classified October 4, 1994 10:39 PM
Richard, For the manuals, how does $30 plus shipping? I hate to guess what it would cost since they weigh about 20 lbs. Let me know if you still want them and I will have them priced for shipping. If you have any questions about them let me know. Jim…

I have a few games I want to get rid of by selling or trading. Most all of the games include the boxes & manuals. Most of them still have the registration card too. The shipping would depend on what game(s) you want (weight). $20 — Harpoon Challenger Pak w/…

Thanks Brian, I didn't realize PC-Task was here. I did download it just now and I will give it a try, that is as soon as I format a system disk. Speed is not really an issue, I just need to be able to load a PC program and at…

From: Jim Menix Amiga User Forum · Bridgeboard/AMAX August 19, 1994 8:46 PM
Has there been any recent rumors about emulators for the Amiga 1200? Mac, PC or even software emulation. It would be helpful if I could run a couple of PC programs from my Amiga. Thanks, Jim

The Grapevine scares me. I called them once and some scary woman answered the phone and said they never had the item that was listed in their own magazine. Hmmm. Jim

It makes you mad doesn't it 🙁 I have been screwing around with it for awhile. If I try to save it as Compliment or Backfill it instantly turns the icon black and saves it that way. I am going to find out what is causing it because it may…

That was my question. Is there any good books for info on using differernt data structures? I have a couple on using C, one is for Unix, but doesn't give any real examples of how to use structures or arrays. The other book is C on the Amiga. It mentions…

My matrix is going to be defined one time and then accessed radomly. I am more familiar with arrays, but the struct format seems like it has some neat features. I guess I just need to decide if I really need to use it or not. : )|( Thanks for…

I own an Amiga 1200 and I am looking for a cheap, but useable Assembler program. I had Assempro on my Amiga500, but I don't think it likes the 1200 very much. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim
From: Jim Menix Amiga User Forum · Hot News and Rumors March 23, 1993 11:57 PM
Yea, but we have to pay, what $40 for it. They should have at least included the Dos manual. I just think it was a bad PR move not to include any documentation other that the basic manual that was sent showing what the WorkBench icons are. Jim

Sergio, Just a little comment about how CBM is running the business. We all have our comments about CBM feeling we don't get any support. I would have felt a lot better about purchasing my new Amiga if I would have received some documentaion on how to use it. Like…

Sergio, My 1200 had no adapter either and as far as I know it never was included with any 1200. A little note was in the box that said it could be purchased seperatly. The book also said to refer to the included AREXX and AMIGA Dos manuals which were…

#30370 War Games Message #30377
From: Jim Menix Amiga Tech Forum · General Programming November 25, 1992 11:39 PM
Thanks. On Libraries, do you mean like a routine written in Assembler? Kinda like a subroutine for handling a specific task that I could call to process a certain part of my code. I guess I'm a not sure what you mean. Jim
