#Access! 1.42 (gasp) bugs
Message #42005
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
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…
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…

#CoComm 3.08/09
Message #106430
The 3.08 in the "About…" was from the menu item "about Cocomm"…. Later,
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
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…
AmigaBASIC list refresh
Message #76710
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…

#Smart run command
Message #76667
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
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…
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
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…
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…

#What Midi Interface
Message #72339
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
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…
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,

#C
Message #33086
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
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…
