#file problems
Message #40335
I seem to be having a little trouble opening a file. When I give the full path name to the file and use fopen I dont open the file. If I am in the dir and just use the name, it works fine. I hardcoded the name and path into…

Anybody interested in selling a power glove?
sas6.3 problems
Message #36531
Has anyone had this problem with the SAS/C 6.3 upgrade? I installed it and it seems to work fine, so I created a program that only opens and closes, nothing else. This compiled correctly. Then I added a declaration: main() { int i; } I expect a warning that I…
#books
Message #32668
Can anybody recommend some amiga programming books? I know there is not a large field to choose from, but usually there is a gem out there that is not too well known. I have read alot of the Abacus books, but they don't prove to be too helpful. I also…
Well better the speaker than anything else I guess. So far the rest of the modem is great. I left a message here to Supra and I am waiting on a response.
Harry, sorry, I found a board already. Thanks though
Paul, sorry, but I don't really intend on using it as a Fax so I didn't get any fax software. Your problem sounds like what I was experiencing. I have owned the modem for a little over a month and at first my status messages weren't consistent. The speaker bombed…
#Supra modem
Message #57479
Has anyone encountered a problem with the speaker on the new Supra fax/modem v32bis 14400? I have had the modem for about a month, and just recently the speaker will fade in and out when it is dialing a number. It always works fine with the first call, but after…

RAM BARGAIN!
Message #57477
You might have yourself a sale. Can you give me a few specific details like age, any problems etc.? Leave me your phone number in a private message and I will call if you are interested. Thanks Neil
4 sale-printer&memory
Message #57319
I am interested in the memory board. Tell me, can you expand the board up to 8mb or is it just 2mb? How old is it? Have you had any compatability problems? Any basic problems?
Jim, Thanks alot for the information. That is quite helpful. Well, I assessed my financial situation and I determined that An 030 is further into the fut future than I thought, but I really need to add more memory now. I don't have a controller that allows memory expansion, so…
Jim, Thanks for the advice. Funny thing — I called NewTek when I first got DP IV and I saw the anim menu was ghosted. I had thought something was wrong with it. They said that it should not be ghosted under any circumstances. I am 99% sure it is…
DP IV
Message #19220
I own an Amiga 2000 with 1 meg. I recently bought DP IV which requires 1 meg to run. When I load it in from my hard drive, I get the message not enought memory. I have around 600K after the startup sequence which is obviously not enough. When I…
Michael Hmmmm… couldn't tell you! Possibly the speed of the A3000 will be old hat, but I also read the article and Doug seemed quite optimistic. He better be, Amiga puts bread on his table.
#Future of Amiga
Message #56742
Anybody heard about the new line of Amigas? I read somewhere that there is going to be Amiga 4000's in the near future. I also read in Amazing Amiga that the new line of Amigas wont even carry the Amiga name, and compatability will be very low. Does this mean…
#BBS
Message #23274
I am currently attempting to design a BBS using a combination of ARE , Atalk III, a database, and a little C programming. I have a good basis for it that will allow uploads, downloads, and limited messages. But, this has all taken an extreme amount of time and I…
Yeah, the v.32bis. I think I got lucky in that they had just got a shipment in. I called 1800 BE-AMIGA.
I just picked one up thru mail order. It is great. It does all the work for you as far as determining what the other modem you are calling can support in error correction and data compression. I have found a few bbs that aren't compatible, but not too many.…
PC-Pursuit
Message #54759
Does anyone have any information on PC-Pursuit? I just started using a modem and I know long distance charges will be astronomical. A little info. and a number would be most appreciated.
local boards
Message #54633
I think this message never made it to the board. Sorry if I am just repeating my previous message. I just bought a modem and I am wondering how to find Local numbers in the Washington D.C. area. Do some sysops post their numbers in a forum somewhere on CIS?
#Digi-View port
Message #22471
I am having trouble communicating with Digi-View Gold through AREXX. I run Digi-View Gold and while it is running , I go to the shell and run an AREXX script I wrote that uses the command Show(ports) to view the addressable ports. The Digi-View port is not in the list.…
Yes, I have since checked and they are VT-100 terminals. Would I need anything else besides the VT-100 terminal program?
#FORTRAN
Message #104849
I just started a computer class using FORTRAN. I am interested in doing most of the work at home, and sending my finished programs to the main computer at school via modem. The school uses a VAX computer with a few hundred VT220 terminals, and VMS is the operating system.…
Betty, I own a 1000. I have tried removing my modem, my extra drive, etc. but it did'nt help. I have tried numerous programs and they usually crash but once in a blue moon some older games like archon and one on one work. I talked to some one else…

#Starboard2
Message #54380
Betty, Well I bought all the 1.3 versions of Kickstart, WB, and extras and tried out Starboard2 using the upgraded versions. I ran dungeon master and sure enough I encountered the same problems. I also ran videoscape 3d and the system crashed. Is there something basic I am doing wrong?…
I just got a StarBoard II 1mb and I am having trouble loading Dungeon Master. I did the check on the Setup disk and everything was fine. Everytime I load Dungeon Master I get a software failure. I think Dungeon Master needs Kickstart 1.2 but starboard uses version 1.1. Any…
genlock
Message #121039
My aunt has a videotape of her bowling team. She asked me to add special effects and sound using my computer. Effects like captions, etc. I was wondering if a genlock would fit the bill? I am also interested in other video type projects, and I do own a digitizer.…
Greg, Would I simply need a VCR connected to the amiga in order to tape the finished product? I dont want to get a genlock and find out I need 100's of dollars more worth of equipment. Also, out of the numerous genlocks on the market, in your opinion what…
pictures
Message #120646
I want to combine 2 digitized pictures using Digi-Paint. I am interested in putting a person's head on another person's body. What would be the best way to do this?
I have an amiga 1000 and a standard Amiga 1080 monitor. I connect the red tipped A/V cord to the audio slot on my monitor and the White tipped A/V cord to the video slot on the back of my monitor. On the VCR I connect the Red tipped end…
genlock
Message #120628
Exactly how does a genlock work and what hardware will I need? I own a Camcorder but It has no jack for Audio/Video in, just A/V out. How much memory will it also need?
#video
Message #120627
I bought an audio/video cable to record videos off my amiga onto my VCR. I was able to watch videos from the VCR on the monitor but when I connected the cables to the video in jack on the VCR in order to record from the monitor nothing happened. A…
#digitizer
Message #119952
GreG, I managaed to get the camera and Digi-View working together. Now as a newcomer to digitizing I am having trouble with color pictures. I leave my color settings, such as contrast, brightness, etc., at 0. What settings usually produce quality pictures? Also I am interested in Hi-Res. I now…
Thanks, It worked when I connected the video in cable to the digitizer. My first picture was at night and it did'nt come out to well. Was that due to the lack of light? The background came out a mixture of green, blue, and red, but no shades of these…
digitizer
Message #119777
I just bought a Camcorder and I intend to use it to digitize. I tried many combinations of connecting a coaxial RF cable which was included with the Camcorder. There is no jack on the camcorder that is labeled video but there is a jack labeled AV OUT. Is there…

Message #119709
I am looking for a program in which I can display a digitized background and run an animator animation script. I want to design a home movie and add special effects created with animator.

Greg, I realize Genlock would be more versatile but more than likely more money. Is it worth the price difference? Also is the genlock compatable with most animatione and paint programs? One more question, I read about the Director in Amiga World and it looks to be useful with many…
Thanks alot for the speedy reply. What would be some good choices on those upgrades you mentioned? I dont want to get a poor quality product. Also what are some advantages with a hard drive? Thanks Neil
#Expansion
Message #107979
I am currently thinking of expanding my Amiga 1000 but I am not sure what to buy. I primarily use my Amiga for gameplaying and telecommunications. I want to start a BBS so one drive with 512k does'nt get it. I also am interested in video which brings up another…

DIGITIZED PICTURES
Message #75863
Vince, I downloaded Ushow and they look fine thanks for your help. Neil
Thanks Don. If I still have trouble I will get back to you. I am new to the world of telecommunications, thats why I hardly know anything about downloading. By the way it was just a typo df0(DFO).
