I will second that most heartily. As a life long model railroader, I would dearly love a command control system I could run with an Amiga. The possibilities are endless.
OK, What about the other part of my question? How can I select non-adjacent entries in a database for moving into a document. Or for that matter can I select non-adjacent entries in an address database for printing as labels? It seems to me these functions should somehow be included.…
Ken, I also have an MSII. Having read some of the threads here about it I decided to try. I have had no problems related to the DKB board at all. It has worked exactly as advertised. My one problem is my old 1.2 ROM which will not autoboot. As…
I work on the road and right now I happen to be in Bloomington IL. There is a camera shop here with a video studio. They are starting a club soon which I hear will include a $25.00 membership fee and $15.00/hr usage fee.Though I am no expert the equipment…
PenPal
Message #34923
Mr. Williams (I presume), Re. PenPal Is there any way to select non-adjacent entries in a database for merging with a document? In other words, how can I select nos. 1,7,9,and 13 for a Print Mail Merge? This is a problem I've had in many areas. Also, I am presently…
Frank, First of all, you don't know my boss. Cheap is an adjective that makes him sound like a philanthropist. I'll go my own way until its done. I did say I was considering DCTV. I guess the rational was that I kind of want it anyway and my wife…
Bill, Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Vic.
Roger, Thanks for the advice. I didn't know it was possible to rent time at a productione facility. Vic
Wellllll, got a few hundred thousand lying around? We'd be happy to fulfill your wildest dreams! Hmmmm, maybe we could barter. I build you an organ you make me a video tape. Food for thougtt. Vic.
John, hanks for all your suggetions. I'll do some experimenting and perhaps I'll have a few more questions another time. 🙂 Vic.

Message #15372
john, I guess I sounded a little flippant in my message. I do not have a VCR with a flying erase head, and already owning two, I don't want to buy another just for that. This video I want to make need not be terribly professional; only clear enough to…
Well, I knew that 1.2 didn't autoboot but I didn't know it crashed. the question is: If I get a 1.3 ROM can I warm reboot to a disk with the MultiStart? Or will I still need a cold reboot? The only reason I got the thing was to keep…
Chris, I'm a little vague too. All I did was leave the computer on for a long time. I got tired of the "not found" message and that was all i could think of to do. As I said, I opened the sucker up (had to cut a tab) and…
#Work Video Help
Message #15303
Help! I need to create a demo tape for my business. I have several video tapes I need to edit together along with some titling, a mouse pointer or two, voice over, some music, and perhaps a small animation. I cannot afford a good Ctrl L deck nor another VCR…
Chris, I had the same problem so I opened up the 501 case. The battery is not expected to be changed. (The new M501 has a replaceable battery.) I set the clock and left the computer on for 6 hours. That did the trick. Try that is SetClock Reset does'nt…
Dom, After reading some of the messages here about the MultiStart, I went out and bought one. It works perfectly when my autoboot drive is disconected; however, it will not boot into 1.2 from a 2.04 boot without disconnecting the drive (switch on drive.) I suppose this is normal, not…
Final Copy
Message #45931
Whats the local opinion of Final Copy?? Is it worth buying as an adjunct to PenPal? I've enjoyed PP quite a bit but it is blindingly slow. I've also had very good experience with SoftWood re. upgrades etc. I need a high quality Word Processor that sports high quality output.
Don, Nonono. I suppose I didn't explain myself well enough. See other reply.
Peter, Actually I didn't mean switching ROMs in midstride. I meant that if I last used the machine in 2.0 mode but later wanted to play a non 2.0 compatible game, that I didn't want to have to tirn it on, and then reboot in 1.3. Anyway, I'll keep thinking.…
Dominick, I too am considering a ROM switcher, but have not yet bought one. I did not like the idea of rebooting to switch over so I called DKB. I was told that it is possoble to install a hardware switch for their board. I do not know if this…
Steve, I guess I'm just looking for a cheap solution. I have some rocket plans I downloaded from Modelnet that are in .DXF and .FCD format and all I want to do is look at them and print them. There must be a way somewhere without spending money on a…
Thanks, However, I don't really want to buy a complete CAD package. Do you know if the demo version will import and print the .DXF files? Vic
#CAD Conversion
Message #32844
Help, Is there a file conversion utility that will allow me to view EasyCAD or AutoCAD files? I do not need to modify or manipulate them, just look at and print them. Please point me in the right direction. Vic

Message #22267
Greetings, I have owned PenPal for awhile but just recently had the time to sit down with it and play around. I am using an updated version I sent for. I believe it is 1.34. A few minor problems have come to light. One: I notice that on startup PP…
Leah, B4 you initiate the upload with BaudBandit click over the word "modem" in the menu bar. Make sure that the transfer protocol you are going to use (i.e. XModem or YModem) is set properly. See where it says Protocol in the window? Click there and BB will step through…
