From: Mowgli Assor AmigaTech Forum · Telecommunications March 30, 1989 10:01 PM
I have a few bugs to report in Access! V1.42. One is that whenever I am using the multi-dialer, and connect when the Access! screen is pushed to back (not iconified), I get a guru every time. (I am using morerows, and qmouse 1.4, and obviously running other programs, although…
UWindows (UW) Message #279
From: Mowgli Assor AmigaTech Forum · Telecommunications July 14, 1988 2:24 AM
Well, I & a friend are both looking for the Amiga version of UW. Does anyone know of a copy somewhere around here? I know it came across Usenet a while ago, but they don't have the binaries sitting around anymore. Can anyone find a way to get them to…
#106139 #CoComm 3.08/09 Message #106433
From: Mowgli Assor The Amiga Forum · Telecommunications January 30, 1988 10:22 PM
Great–I'll be d/l'ing it soon. Also back to my parity(?) problem….does it make any sence at all to you that it is only _SOME_ sources of input (1 window) which scramble things? That is what confused me so much about it. Later, P.S. Praise the lord or any other diety…
#105996- #CoComm 3.08/09 Message #106430

The 3.08 in the "About…" was from the menu item "about Cocomm"…. Later,
#103309 DEGAS to IFF Message #103310
From: Mowgli Assor The Amiga Forum · Videophile January 13, 1988 5:41 PM
I know I got some programs called ConvertPI1 ConvertPI2 ConvertPI3, etc. If you can't find them in the DL's somewhere, I could arc them all up and re-upload them. (Sorry, I really don't remember even the filename(s?) of the files in the DL's–I got them about a year ago) Later,
#PrettyPrint & CoComm Message #103308
From: Mowgli Assor The Amiga Forum · Forum Business January 13, 1988 5:37 PM
I like PrettyPrint, and I have one suggestion. Put the Pre-Processor directives at the beginning of the line, instead of indenting them with the rest of the code. (I'm not sure if this is something you missed, or if it was intentional, but either way I prefer them at the…
From: Mowgli Assor The Amiga Forum · Programming July 18, 1987 2:12 AM
I have it irritating to watch the basic list window re-fresh itself every time it is uncovered in a way which is _almost_ as bad as the list window for MacBasic….Then I remembered that some clever person had patched Workbench so as to use smart-refresh window here. (Never used it…
#76298- #Smart run command Message #76667
From: Mowgli Assor The Amiga Forum · Programming July 17, 1987 8:26 PM
run stack 10000 + changetaskpri 1 + amigabasic where it would run all the commands in order such as to be a (slower & kludgier) workaround for the exact problem I brought up…anyhow, I would agree on the -s and -p keywords myself anyhow. Later, There is a ability to…
Smart run command Message #76130
From: Mowgli Assor The Amiga Forum · Programming July 13, 1987 10:11 AM
I have recently been fairly frustrated because I have wanted a run command that could do a few simple things besides starting a process in the background: set the priority and stack for the task that it is starting up. I like a default of inheriting the stack & pri…
#74217 Crashing programs Message #74314
From: Mowgli Assor Forum unknown · Programming June 30, 1987 8:42 AM
Yes, I realize that such things are usually the fault of the programmer, but since several programs had done approximately the same thing, I thought it was more likely an OS type bug, either that or common mistake, which several programmers had made. Later,

#Crashing programs Message #74178
From: Mowgli Assor The Amiga Forum · Programming June 29, 1987 1:54 AM
I have discovered a way of crashing programs, which has worked on several completely unrelated programs. (well, unrelated except that I've run them all on my Amiga). When a program has a keyboard shortcut that puts a window up on the screen, and then has some keys that remove the…
#73565 Is UEdit dying??? Message #73757
From: Mowgli Assor Forum unknown · Amiga at Work June 25, 1987 12:06 PM
I have to admit that I have yet to send in for my official Uedit. This has made me decide to go and send him the money right now, because it is the best text editor I've ever seen for any machine, any price, any time. If I get it…

#71971- #What Midi Interface Message #72339
From: Mowgli Assor The Amiga Forum · Audiophile June 16, 1987 9:31 AM
Thanks for the info. Also, will all of the above work with the A500, A100, and A2000, or do the have different models for the different Amigas (or even aren't possible for some models. Thanx,
#Output Redirection Message #63797
From: Mowgli Assor The Amiga Forum · Forum Business April 15, 1987 9:00 PM
I was messing around with output redirection, and I ran into a problem. I could do something like "dir >con:0/0/640/100/dirWindow" and it would then briefly pop the directory up in a new window. However, I was looking for a way to just make a window pop up with something like…
#33225 Help! Message #33288
From: Mowgli Assor Forum unknown · Programming September 16, 1986 1:09 AM
I don't know if you mean from within a program, but if you mean from the CLI, use the info command. If you have the appropriate manuals, (Rom Kernal, etc.), it would explain library calls to do the same sort of thing. Later,

#33083- #C Message #33086
From: Mowgli Assor Forum unknown · Programming September 14, 1986 7:01 AM
I just ran into something interesting. It was John Foust's review (semi-review) of Aztec C, in the June Amazing Computing. One of the things he said about the smaller code size was that you could with Lattice get the code about as small as Aztec, it was just that Aztec…

Mycli 2.0 Message #32388
From: Mowgli Assor Forum unknown · Programming September 7, 1986 11:49 AM
I have found a couple things about it that I don't quite like. First, the program re-assigns the c: psuedo-device. That is just fine within mycli, as the default path does include sys:c/ so it will look there later. Unfortunately, if I am running any other normal CLI windows (which…
