Thanks for the information. I'll give it a try. Chip Mattson 72017.442@compuserve.com
I'd like the program to be able to tell if the user is redirecting the input from a file, so it will only print the input prompts when input is from the keyboard. The fscanf's I use for the input work OK with input from a file, but the prompts…

#MEM EXPANSION QUOTES
Message #3829
I am looking for expansion memory for my Amiga 1000 (currently w/512K). If anyone has purchased expansion memory for an Amiga 1000 lately, and you are pleased with its performance, please send me a message about what you purchased: brand, amount of memory, price, address of the place where you…
Dean, This is a strange error. Rebooting doesn't help the fragmented memory, but using lc1 and lc2 separately helps. It appears that LC doesn't release all of the memory it uses for lc1. It appears to be something in the code which is strange. I tried commenting out part of…
#Microbotics Starboard2
Message #1195
Henry, I've heard a lot about the StarBoard2 from Microbotics. I still have a few questions: The approximate cost? Is it expandable to 8 megs? Have you had any problems with programs using the expanded memory? What is needed for the machine to recognize the memory when booting? Thanks, Chip
#Access!
Message #1194
Keith, A quick question about Access! — Is there a way to get it to default to 1200 baud upon loading so I don't have to set the baud at each use? Chip
Doug, Using lc1 and lc2 separately does the trick for the "can't execute LC2" error. Is there an advantage to using LC? (speed, convenience?) I tried narrowing down the location of the error by commenting out parts of the code and compiling with LC, and the error comes and goes.…
#Expansion Suggestions
Message #982
I'm looking for memory expansion for my A1000, currently at 512K. I'd like something with 2 megs, expandable to 8 megs, maybe with a clock. If anyone has a suggestion, please give details, like price, reliability, and other features. Thanks, Chip
#Lattice C 4.0 Error
Message #977
I'm getting a strange error during compilation with Lattice C 4.0…I get a "can't execute LC2" error, using LC to compile. I've found there isn't a big enough chunk of memory to hold LC2. There is usually over 200K of free memory but the biggest chunk is only about 80K.…
#Access!
Message #529
Keith, I had to compliment you on the latest version of Access! I recently DL'd. I noticed that during a download it now writes to disk, so larger files can be transfered. What's the limit on the size of files that can be DL'd now? Is it only limited by…
Disk Salvage Help
Message #528
Keith, I saved the file that listed as 'empty' by using Don's advice to copy it to another file. When I hit the "Disk Full" DOS requester during the capture, and Access! wouldn't let me move the gadgets along the title bar so I could get to a CLI window,…
#Disk Salvage Help
Message #527
Ti#uKT8}9tis Don, Copying the file listed as 'empty' to another file to save the data worked great. That's a neat trick. Next time I'll know better and stop the capture to close the file properly. Thanks, Chip.
#File Salvage Help
Message #463
I have a problem. I was doing an ASCII capture on CIS, when my disk got full. Access! wouldn't let me get to the CLI to free some space. I took the disk out to prevent the file from being deleted when I hit the 'Cancel' gadget on the requester.…
Lattice C V4.0 — fcvt()
Message #120900
I have had a problem using the fcvt() function in programs. Blink gives me an Undefined Symbol error for _fcvt. I have tried it with the header files that contain fcvt(), math.h and stdlib.h, using both files and individually. Below is a sample program I used to test fcvt(): #include…
Amortization Program
Message #120465
I recently downloaded your amortization program, and found it quite useful. As I'd like a version to use without AmigaBasic, I'm translating it into C. I'll upload it to CIS when it's finished, giving you credit for the original version in the comments and documentation. If you have any comments…

#Modem connections
Message #113579
I'd like to be able to transfer info between my Amiga 1000 and a Commodore 64. I spliced a cable to use between the modems (handset modular cord & wall modular cord), but I must have something wrong. What is the correct way to splice them? What are some tips…
Don, I thought I'd save time (& money) by only getting the source and compiling it, but I guess I have to get the other too. Thanks, Chip
#TAG BBS
Message #110113
I downloaded the Tag bbs source file 'tagsrc.arc' and in one of its files'READMEorDIE' it says the instructions are in a file called tag103.arc . I can't locate that file. I also dl'd the introduction file to tagbbs (I can't remember the exact name tag***.txt), which didn't have the operating…
Don, Thanks…I'll check it out. Chip

#Strange Guru
Message #109540
I have encountered a strange Guru message. I was trying to load Boing2! (DL16) and it didn't work. Ever since then, using my Modem Workbench Disk, when I try a 'loadwb', I get the following Guru: Recoverable Alert Guru #31038009.48454C50 ^^ Means workbench error, right? After I click the mouse,…
