#13193- #PRINTER DRIVERS Message #13408
From: Bob Watson Forum unknown · Utilities/Other Aps April 1, 1986 1:32 AM
I downloaded the PROWRI.DRI and it only supports text and boldface. It tries to support underlining but won't turn underlining off. There is NO graphics support.

#13003- Graphics / IFF /Etc. Message #13381

Check out the letters to the editor in this month's Byte for the legal rational behind Apple's suit. It seems that there is a great deal of legal precedent and the outcome of such a suit could very well go in Apple's favor. I agree that this move could be…

#4308- ONLINE! Message #4462

I guess they sent me the disk but I never got the new manual. My page A-8 describes the CAPTURE commands used in scripts.

#4059- #ONLINE! Message #4063
From: Bob Watson Forum unknown · Software January 3, 1986 10:42 PM
You MUST have switches 1 and 6 UP for Online! to work correctly. Switch 6 UP enables the Carrier Detect line so that Online! knows when a connection is made. A lot of terminal programs require this switch DOWN which forces the CD line to the ON state all the…

I find myself in the awkward position of defending the FCC though I have done my share of complaining about some of their decisions, but here goes. Due to the laws of physics and technological limitations, the useful radio frequency spectrum is limited. The primary job of the FCC is…

#2046 #AMIGA VS ST Message #2074
From: Bob Watson Forum unknown · Forum Business December 17, 1985 4:01 AM
I think you touched on something that I'll spell out more clearly. Computers are a very new entity to the consumer market. Cars, appliances, etc. have clearly defined uses and, most importantly, are clearly accepted as neccessary items for most people. Currently, computers are still thought of as really necessary…

George, I have also uploaded some stuff. An ABasiC program, a text file on ABasiC and an EXECUTE file (script). Did they work ok? I used XMODEM. – Bob * Reply: 2108

Ewan, I'm also testing Online!. Which modem, switch settings, etc. are you using? I can't get the scripts to startup on mine. – Bob

#1432 workbench 1.1 Message #1613
From: Bob Watson Forum unknown · Software December 13, 1985 3:31 AM
Got news for you. At least with high line numbers, RENUMBER with all the parameters crashes the system under 1.0. I wrote a little program to properly printout my highly structured (read: lots of indentation) basic code and wanted to change the line numbers to 60000+. I had to use…

#855- Sony Connections Message #972
From: Bob Watson Forum unknown · Hardware December 8, 1985 10:47 PM
Which Profeel are you using? I'm running the 19" and it is about 7' away from me. I'm running composite and it is quite readable. Some tips: Turn the sharpness control on the monitor almost to the SOFTEST position. Turn the brightness almost all the way off. On the Amiga,…
