I heartily agree. Quality of life and money are not interchangable. So tell me about Intangible Assets Manufacturing. Chris
Dale, Thanks for the info. Glad to hear the highest resolution will be used. What's Intangible Assets Manufacturing? Vaporware? Care to answer via Email? Chris
Thanks, Dale. Don't know enough to know if I can have access to the 600 X 600 dpi with WP 4.1. Does the machine use that as its default setting, or does one have to give command codes to enter that mode. And "fancy features?" What things were you referring…
Upgrade
Message #86318
I upgraded to Amigados 2.2 some time ago. I have been unable to get DigiPaint to work–I can't exit the program or change screen sizes: the requestors are below the bottom of the screen. Twice I have had sent to me "upgrade" disks. I have the same problem. Is there…
Thanks very much. Off to look for it. While I'm at it, do you know if anyone has hacke together a driver for Amiga WordPerfect for the new HP4 series? Where would I look for that. I know WordPerfect doesn't support the Amiga any more, but a lot of us…
#Printer Driver
Message #156345
A couple of months ago I checked in here and found an HPR Pagestream printer driver. Now I can't find it anywhere? What's happened to it? Thanks, Chris
Betty, Thanks. Yes, it must be Betty Knight. Nice person! Ouch! Not 600 X 600. Hmmm. The 4P is the printer I've been waiting for. Use mostly pagestream, and I saw a Pagestream driver in one of the files here. Expect some kind of use with the Amiga WP driver.…
Bill, Thanks. Don't know enough about packet to enterpret most of your message but will keep it on file should I ever have time to look into Packet. Thanks, Chris
MICHAEL, YES, that's probably right. Chris
Betty, Are you the same betty that was a sysop in the C64 area a few years ago? I had wondered if the HP4 series all used the same driver. What incompatibilities have you found? I still use WordPerfect for most of my text use. I assume the HP Laser…
Bill, What's AmigaNOS do? The ham software I have is for my dear old H89. INcludes nice RTTY and morse packages. Haven't used either for years. Will try you on Internet sometime, I hope. 73 Chris
#C64 Emulators
Message #124708
Anybody out there know about Commodore 64 emulators on the Amiga? I have a soft spot in my heart for that dear little machine, as well as some lengthy files I'd like to transfer without all the hassle of modem communications. Any help? Are they still even available? Is one…
#Amateur Radio
Message #124707
Amiga Amateru radio? Is anybody there? Couldn't find amy messages to read. Interested to hear what software is available. Chris WB7ATO
Thanks, Betty. I'll check AmigaUser and the drivers out. I use PageStream, and they were told by the HP people that since PageStrem sends a page as a graphic, there was nothing they could do to get to the enhanced resolution. I was wondering about just general use, letters from…
#HP IIIP Driver?
Message #26960
Dear Sysop, Is there an Amiga printer driver for the LaserJet IIIP that takes advantage of the inhanced resolution of that printer? The salesman (taking a risk there) told me a special driver was necessary to access that capabiligy. Thanks for you help. Chris
David, Thanks for the response. ChipRip didn't crash the machine, as I recall but it did produce interesting although useless images on the screen which I assume were black an white renditions of the individual bitplanes. Might try to contact the author, and DID discover the program was ChipRip–had seen…
Chip_Rip help.
Message #12660
Sysop, Downloaded CHPRIP.LZH hoping it would capture pictures for me. I run an off the shelf Amiga 2000. Using chip_rip I can view black and white parts of the pictures from games or even DPaint after I reset the machine. But can't seem to figure out how to get the…
Picture extractor?
Message #12649
Dear Sysop, I remember seeing a program in the libraries somewhere that will search through a data file (as from a game) and detect the start and end of a picture file so you can extract the picture and view or manipulate it. Can't remember its title or find anything…
Thanks Bill. Have downloaded LHARC twice. Will check modem program and try again. What about the GIF questions? What do you recommend? Chris
#.EXE files Problem
Message #37217
Dear Sysop, Heard from Betty earlier about running LHARC.EXE. I tried it exactly as she suggested renamed as LHARC: LHARC -m -x x filename. I STILL get the error message: unable to load LHARC: file is not an object module She suggested archlp.exe. I downloaded that and get the same…
Thanks, Betty. Used to using ARC and ZOO that give messages when typed without an argument. Will give it another try. Chris
#LHARC.EXE problem
Message #37146
Sysop, I have downloaded LHARC.EXE with XMODEM/binary twice now. When I change the name to LHARC and type its name or type I get the error message: Unable to load LHARC File is not an object module. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the file?…
Yes, takes time away from lots of things, including reading for me, too. Thanks, Bill. Chris
Thanks, Victor. Couldn't get your script to work for me, either. So went back and looked at what they were trying to do with their HD_Install program and did it. So far, it seems to work just fine. Thanks for the help. Without looking at your script I probably wouldn't…
Victor, Thanks a lot. Just got your EMAIL and am off to try it! Got kinda tired of waiting for all those disk reads. My son usually played it the most, but he's in Italy for a couple of years. I'll have to mail him some results. Did you play…
Bill, Did get a couple of things like typing c2 to catalog sy2: and a few things like. Ah, brings back happy memories. I remember the first time I wandered into the view of the volcano playing "Adventure" and hearing the drive click and chunk over and over as it…
Bill, Yes! Almost the same experience, except that I didn't lose anything with CP/M. Glad you noticed the similarities between AmigaDOS and HDos. Feels right at home. Chris
It Came from the Desert
Message #36297
I just bought a hard drive and have tried to install "It Came from the Desert" in it using the game's install program. No success so far even after modifying a line to get the excute file to finish. Has anyone had any luck doing this? Chris

Ben, Agree with you about contests: blech! Chris

Hamming?
Message #36170
John, Feel much the same way about CW–I like it too! Kinda relaxing, and you can slow down and try to say something relevant and concise instead of just drivelling on like we hams are prone. Like the old time romance of sitting and tapping out somthing halfway around the…
Paul, Guess I've been off the waves for too long. Don't recognize anything. DBS? KAM? KPC-4? 2400zi just regular modems? AEA AVT. SSTV I know about. UUCP sound familiar. Think it's a hardware addition that lets you be a member of Internet and other similar services. Right? And Whap!? Going…

Message #36167
Bill, Thanks for the info. I only used HDOS also, and the machine sits across the room from the Amiga. VLT and Backtalk? Are those Ben's programs? I'll have to check those things out. Of course, that's all I need is another distraction. 73, Chris

Thanks for reply, Kelly. what's AMTOR? Gads, have I been inactive on the bands for that long? 73, Chris

Hamming?
Message #36165
Thanks, John. I recently acquired a BridgeBoard, also. Checked in Hamnet a while ago, and found it discouraging. Maybe I should just hook up the old H89 and get back to it. It's an early one, though, and quite dirty RF wise. Also have an Commodore 64 and used to…

Message #36162
Steve, Don't ask what telecom program I use. It's embarrassing. It's Ahost which I think I got years ago from my Aztec C package. Got used to it and it does everything I think I want it to, so have never taken the time to get and install and learn…

Thanks Michael, Must have something wrong, because I did what you suggested already. Will try it again, though, before I just try another Xmodem download. Best, Chris

#File Format
Message #8110
I ran across an "industry standard" file format the other day that I'd like to be able to change Amiga Graphics files into to take advantage of some wonderful graphics printing offered by a firm here. The format is called CGM–Computer Graphics Metafile. Didn't see anything in the AmigaARts section.…
Chaos/Strange Attractors
Message #83800
Did anyone try to program the chaos/strange attractor programs from A.K. Dewdney's column in "Scientific American" a couple of months ago? I got the first one to run fine. The second one would run but gave images different from in the magazine. The last one, sent in by the Dutch…
