#amigabasic
Message #4983
I have a feeling that the eagerly awaited MS Basic has left everyone a little 'cold'. I know it has me. It's a powerful basic alright but MS's effective limiting of this wonderful 32 or 16 color graphics machine to a default 4 color med-res mode with no easy way…

Pascal
Message #1120
Bela, Just wondered if you or Borland had a chance to look over Amiga Pascal by Metacomco, and what you thought of it. I've worked with a few days now, while pulling a few more hairs out! They've got a weird (again!) way of running a program that uses disk…

New software
Message #42906
Just received the first of the 3rd party software today at my local dealer in Ohio. First two titles to arrive were Activision's adventure games, "Mindshadow", and "Hacker". Both were specified to run on 256K machines and both use Ver. 1.0 of dos. Noticed that the write-protect was not on…

Paul, Glad you brought it to my attention. It's a good little program but nobody could use it the way it was uploaded. Hope it works ok for you now. Thanks, Ed

Paul, I didn't upload the address file, since the addresses I keep wouldn't mean anything to anyone else. I thought each user could create his own address file according to his own needs. If your getting an error in line 1815 then apparently you haven't create your own address file…
Bela, I agree about xon/xoff. I'm using my Amiga with the EZ-term prog. from DL7. Looking at it the other nite, (morning?) there is a way to detect those ctrl chars and cause a pause, so I may try implementing it. Another thing we need is a filter for received…
#sending text
Message #42320
the problem with uploading text files to CIS using no protocol is not entirely AMiga's fault. It is CIS's problem as well. I'm only sending at 300 baud, but believe it or not, CIS would not accept my sending of 15K basic program at the speed the AMiga was sending.…
#Okimate-20 printer
Message #12840
If you were referring to the parallel Okimate-20 printer with white lines in the graphics printout, my manual says switch 5 is NOT used for anything. Regardless, turning switch 5 'on' did not remove the white lines and I doubt that a Rom change will either. After taking the printer…
