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
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
Terry, I will box up Harpoon, UMSII (sigh, I will miss this one), and Rules of Engagement. Give me a couple of days to get the price to you. I'll E-Mail you my address and the price Jim Powered by Amiga 1200 Hovering on AutoPilot
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?…

#Oldies & Goodies
Message #166313
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…
#Oldies & Goodies
Message #166199
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…
#Amiga 1200 Emulators
Message #160417
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

Message #158388
Does anyone know where I can get the rexxarp.library for the VLT comm programm? I can't find it online, so if anyone has it can you upload it? Thanks much, 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

DICE Project
Message #35241
Maybe I missed something, I am trying to setup Dice Project and I cannot get it to recognize any files *.h or *.c. I set the paths with the directory option but even when using the requester to search for the files I can't find them. Second, is this supposed…
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…
Thanks, I will give it a shot, I was going crazy trying to fix that thing. Thanks again, -Jim Manual Mode Engaged….. . v
#Icon Editor
Message #102829
I am having a problem that with saving Icons I create in the Icon Editor in WorkBench 3.0. I create my Icon save it and it saves it with all of the blank space around it, basically it is the size of the editor window. When I create it I…
It has been awhile since I have been back in this area. Sorry, don't really know where you can get DevPac from. I did have a neat book on Assembler by Daniel Wolf put out by Compute I think. The one from Abacus had some good code , but it…

Thanks Brian, I will have to check that one out. Jim
Thanks, I am a novice C beginner and the structure command seems the be one of the more exciting ones. I hopeI can learn to …Use it wisely 🙂
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…
Array vs Structure
Message #34497
I am storing information for a game map with things like Terrain… Is there any advantage to an array over a structure as far as size or accessing. I am a novice C user and the information on each of these ways to store data is small, from what I…
Thank ya much. I will check it out. It's gota be better than what I have now. Jim
Thanks, I forgot all about that program. I'll have to look at it. Jim
#Assemblers
Message #34006
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
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…
#EUROPE A1200 SITUATION
Message #92868
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…
68000/16
Message #84694
I am trying to find the 16Mhz version of the 68000. I can't find it anywhere. Grapevine advertises it but they don't carry it. I can't find any electronic stores in Columbus that carry it either. Any Ideas? Thanks Jim
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
Thanks Bill, Since I have posted my message on the board asking for help eveyone has\ been really helpful. I have been putting this game off for a long time and with the comments and suggestions from people like yourself I excited about going back to it and finishing it.…
Well I guess I'll have to try Amos seeing is how I have had more than one suggestion to use it. Is there any heavy requirements to use it? I doubt there is but one would never know. I have thought of tryingdifferent colors for different elevations,but the problem I…
Thanks, Any advice helps. I have done tinkering in C but not awhol lot. I'd like to try and get ti to run in Basic where I can debug it easier then if the gme turns out to be worth while I'll see about converting it. I am trying to…
