ZIP100 & CrossDOS
Message #214877
>>Hello, Have anyone an idea for an mountlist entry for a iomega zip drive under crossdos? I try a changed entry like syquest 88MB but it doesn`t work. the entry works for an syquest correctly.
Jon- You might want to check out the "ReadMe.Now" text in the pagestream3 directory. Everything that you are complaining about is addressed in this file. My installation only required about 11.5 mb on the harddrive and, even though certain features are disabled in this initial release, I'm amazed at some…
You mention version 2.4x of GPFax. I've only seen patches up to 2.342 (which I'm currently running). Where can I get the latest patches you speak of? Fred
Terminus SWREG?
Message #121481
Will you be offering online registration of Terminus through SWREG? My registration would have been in by now if this option were available. I dislike writing and mailing checks. Fred
Dr. Greg Perry's Internet address is: gregp@gpsoft.adsp.sub.org Fred
GPFax works just fine at 14400 between 2 Supra modems. I have faxed numerous times from my Supra to a friend's Supra at this speed. Fred
I always use the quick format for formatting my flopticals and it takes only a few seconds. I haven't run into any problems yet (knock wood) and I have 12 disks! Fred
You might want to try resetting the modem to factory defaults by issuing at&f2&w. The &f2 is factory default 2 which is recommended for Amiga and ibm use and the &w will rewrite the config to the modem. This factory setting has always worked for me, but I've made a…
#Modem config script
Message #106432
A suggestion: Please make the modem configuration script optional, or state in the README file how to quit this, as it wrote over my customized internal modem settings which I had to spend time resetting. Remember that people use other programs with their modems as well – not just your…

Import text?
Message #58364
Is there any way possible to directly import and insert ASCII text into an existing FC2R2 document? I need to be able to do this to import text that is generated in list format from Superbase. If it is possible through AREXX, could you guide me through the process with…
FC2R2 font paths
Message #58209
Why doesn't FC2R2 use relative references to the font directory? I have my tooltype set as FONTDRAWER=fcfonts/swolfonts and feel that the full path should not be saved in the document (i.e. volume name, etc.). It would be easier to transfer documents among varying system setups. On another matter, you stated…
I did redefine some font definitions in the driver for WP and I can't remember all the details since I did this over a year ago. But, I seem to recall selecting the CGtimes font that was in the LJIII driver definition and I had to use the Microspace definition…
WP is reliable for me. Now, please, no flames, as I would prefer a different (more modern) interface as well, but it does work here. This is with version 4.1.12. Fred
I have installed 2.04 in 2 different a2000 machines and saw a small speedup in general operations, so maybe you need to investigate your system in more detail and look for a possible older program that is not working as well as you might think (i.e. slowing everything else down.)…
I use WordPerfect when I wish to use the DJ500 proportional Times font. As much as I dislike WP's interface, it is one of the only programs that supports printers' internal fonts with their own drivers. Fred
I don't have the number handy, but the BBS is on the normal support phone number after business hours. The number is in the rear of the manual and no validation is necessary. Unfortunately, you'll have to grab most of the files they have to get up to 4.02a! Fred
The current version is 4.02a. I was on their BBS the other night and it is there in a few archives depending on the version you are updating from. Fred
I am using version 4.03 on an A3000 running WB2.04 and have not experienced any problems. Fred
Maybe you should rethink your marketing again. I will be purchasing a 9600 baud modem this year and I'm not interested in 2 modems or one that operates at 2400/9600fax. I am beginning to see generic modems that are both 9600 v.32 and fax which makes a lot more sense…
I've been using BaudBandit since it was released – first on an A2000 and now on an A3000 under 2.0. It has always worked reliably for me with the B option turned on here. Fred
I still am waiting for my "perfect" tools menu program. I would like one more along the lines of MyOwnMenu where you can have submenus as well as a second and third menu listing. I'll just have to wait a bit longer.:-) Fred
I must confess that I only briefly used AddTools before switching to Amidock. Fred
I also had a window staying open with AddTools, but found out that it was due to my use of Conman. Once I went back to the stock console handler everything (including a few other programs) returned to "normal" when opening shells or background tasks. Fred
I'm using the same setup as yours – Mitsubishi/2320 – with the Mitsubishi factory supplied cable and it works fine. If you still have flicker, you might want to have your dealer check it out. Fred
I tried the color test someone else suggested and it looked ok to me, but in DPaint with the standard pallette, two of the grays end up being the same color. That's the only problem I've noticed and I didn't bother investigating any further. Fred
I purchased the 2320 and a Diamondscan monitor. The monitor came with 2 cables of which one had the required connections for the 2320 without any modifications. So for a 2320, don't let anyone try to sell you an unneeded cable! Fred
I have a 2000 with a 68010 chip installed and was curious as to whether I would lose this chip with its small speed improvements with your 2000 adaptor board. I am interested but maybe not enough to lose my "cheap" accelerator! Fred
Maybe you could try the DEB adaptor from Microway? Don't know if it works with the A2320 though. Fred
I purchased the Display Enhancer just last week and am now flicker-free! It does the same magic that the original Flicker Fixer does but also hhas a switch on the back to bypass the Enhancer into standard interlace mode as available on the 23 pin connector. It has a VGA…
I'm also using conman, but I've got it mounted as newcon:. I cannot remember where the explanation was to do this – either in the conman docs or it might be in the ARP docs (for the shell), but I can't remember! Fred
Are you mounting NEWCON: in your startup-sequence? There is a known problem with the current version of SID1.06 that requires newcon: to be mounted for certain functions to operate properly. Fred
I bought an A2000 w/2091 at the end of December, and my dealer has also stated that they are now backordered. For me, the 2091 is a real winner and a well thought out package (purchased with Quantum 40 drive). Fred
I'm going to have the OMTI checked out first as suggested by Clark from Supra. Thanks for the help. Fred

Thanks for the info on the flashing lights. I'm going to have the OMTI checked out at the dealer. Fred

Online! Alternative?
Message #65205
You left out BaudBandit which was released this summer. I'm using it now and it supports w,x,y,zmodem and quick B protocols. Also it is a very compact program and efficient weighing in at about 70K bytes, has ARexx ports for scripting, clipboard cut and paste, and a mini-script language for…

#Supra Drive Upgrade

The manual that came with my Seagate ST157N explicitly states NOT to mount this drive upside down.

Page Stream 1.6
Message #17025
Yes, the updated Tyme and Helv fonts are on the 1.61 update disk. Fred
My friend with an Epson Equity had a clock problem on Feb 29, 1988, so its not just us with the leap year quirks! Ours seem to be showing up at the end of the year instead. Oh, well. Fred
I'm beginning to find the current situation very humorous with all of the date problems showing up everywhere! – the 1.3 list command, DiskMaster, and now the Insider clock program. Hopefully we'll see a fix soon! Fred
Insider clock
Message #28442
I've run into a problem with the clock software from my Insider – it's reading the correct hardware clock date but setting the system to the previous day's date. This started occuring on Jan 1, 89. My clock software dates back to early 87. If you don't have a fix…

#HD backup utilities

The bug is in the Supra scsidisk.device version 5.1 and has been corrected in the 5.3 release which is available in lib 6 here. Fred

#ARC & 1.3 Help
Message #5714
Did you set up a path to S: before trying the script file? It worked for me and I'm using conman as newcon: with the shell. Fred
I just received my updates as well and discovered the same problem. After investigating all the disks, I found a "readme" on the LEARN disk which said to copy the print program over to wp after setup is done and to assign print: to wp:. Nothing like making a confusing…
Keith, I've noticed another problem with .28 which did not occur in earlier versions: I use fastfonts with my own font, and menus show up in topaz which is not what I have selected. Version .26 worked fine and my font replaced topaz universally. Thank you, Fred Schuchman
Thanks for the info. I'll now feel confident in going ahead with my purchase of the Insider! Fred S.
#Insider
Message #59947
I have read all the positive reports on the Insider and am considering the purchase of one. My big question after reading their ad in AC is what is the real performance difference in "no forced wait state" as opposed to truly "no wait state" designs? Thanks Fred 70735,677
