Phillipe, My apologies for my "unformatted" previous post!! I keep forgetting..:-) Here is how I got mailto to work by creating environmental variables. You must have SMTPpost from INet_Utils in your AmiTCP:bin/………. In ENVARC: create the following with an ascii text editor……………… ENVARC: Variable NAME Actual text entry MY COMMENTS…
Installing PPP & AmiTCP
Message #210285
Marcel, Try the following with the + added: SEND "+CIS" WAIT "D:" SEND "+Your_User_ID/GO:PPPCONNECT" I also think Chris's script had you on the right track. It seems like your ppp0.config file needs some adjusting. Here is mine…. serial.device 0 38400 0.0.0.0 7WIRE CD DIALSCRIPT=AmiTCP:bin/dialscript.CIS Try using 384000 instead of 192000.…
Hi Dee, Please see message #210158…this covers all the software you need and includes Chris Laprise's internet install script. I would substitute TCP4.lha(AmiTCP4-demo) because the latest version of AMosaic(the Amiga Web Browser) needs AmiTCP4 or higher. TCP4.lha is in the libs here. This should get you started. Myself and others…
Stefan, Post your dialscript and I'll be glad to try and help! Also are you connecting at 8N1 or 7n1? Tom tbarker@empirenet.com
Hi Phillipe, What you want is SMTPost! This can be found in INET-Utils on Aminet. SendMail is an environmental variable that points to SMTPpost and it's associated arguments. I believe you are trying to get mailto: on AMosaic working? Here is one way…well 2 ways! 🙂 In ENVARC: create the…
RAL, I don't want to burst your bubble BUT…I have both works and I find only about 50% of the works to be "valid', musically speaking. There are *no* liner notes….how does one really know to what extent these songs have any involvement with the Amiga? Were they sequenced on…
Hi Dave, Something is screwy here! LX and LZ will *not* decompress these files correctly. Make sure you have gotten LHA138.run(self-extracting) from the libs here. What DL protocol are you using to DL the files? It sounds like you are getting errors when DL'ing? If DL'ing from CIS use B+,…
Why Ian…I always read your posts! Tom
Lepido, Thanks! I hope it happens. Tom
John, Check out the messages from the UK Press Conference! IMO, all Amiga users who can *afford* it, should upgrade to 3.1. I also think 3.1 should be priced at about 50% of what it is now! It's priced too high for the 'average user'! Just my $.01985 worth!….the inflation…
Brian, While you're down there 'swampin' in LA you might check out your local inet providers. Here in the LA(city/surrounding) area it's getting ridiculously cheap..$14.95/mo unlimited access and such! $2.95/hr will get expensive…fast! Tom
Gene, I'm bummed because Thor will not run on my machine. Everything else in the universe(Amiga that is) runs on my machine except THOR! I tried for days! It would always work after a fresh install…but the next time I would try it, it would just hang the machine. I…
Brian, If you use Chris Laprise's latest install script…it automates the whole process. Good luck! Tom
Paul, I have mine on order from Status One Computers in Garden Grove, CA. The guy is a MAC dealer and one of my best friends. Let me check in with him and I'll let you know more! Tom

#Petro's Speech!
Message #209060
The following was presented at the recent UK Press Confrence/Meeting! Speech by Petro Tyschtschenko August 16/17 1995 We are pleased to be here in the UK, one of our most important markets, to have the opportunity to talk directly to the Amiga press. We will talk to our dealers and…
Hank, Ain't it nice when it's something simple!!! Late nites tend to produce some of these lil' human errors! Tom
Hi Mr. Steve, Man, you're right on it!! Tom
Betty, These files are the *only* files I have ever come across that don't correctly decompress with LX, LZ and earlier versions of lha. I banged my head for a whole day on this one until I dicovered the lil' secret. Tom
Brian, I bet you're not using lha1.38 to un-archive the AmiTCP files. Lot's of people have had this problem with AmiTCP. Just get LHA138.run from the libraries. It is a self-extracting archive. Place the new lha in c: cd to the directory where TCP4.lha is and type: lha -a -x…
Paul, >BTW Anyone out there heard any news on the Jazz?< I have one on order and was told they would ship around the end of September? It appears that this drive will be a great success based on all the hype and specs! I know I'm droolin' just thinking…
Gene, Could you be more 'specific'? >Grapevine keeps saying that there is something wrong with socket.config< What *exactly* does the error message say? Post your ENV:socketconfig file! Post your associated environmental variables. You might also take a look to make sure that socket.library is placed correctly? I keep mine in…
John, What were your general immpressions of the show? How did Syndesis fair at presenting it's wares? Nice to hear Peter is still getting royalties for the FlickerFixer, that was a while ago! Did you see any presentations dealing with VRML? Thanks again for sending a ticket, but at the…

Shell Command Strings
Message #208990
Debora, Try out Ian Einman's ADDPOWER, it's here in the libraries. It allows * wildcards. Tom
Lepido, >netscape is being ported to the amiga soon< Where did you hear this? Can you give any details? Tom
Walter, NO…Ed Goff isn't going to repair your A1200…he's a *Lawyer*! You most likely will be able to get parts for your machine after they go back into production. When *exactly* that will be is anybody's guess! I take my machines to San Diego(80mi south)…to Dr. Micro…a great Amiga repairperson…
Hank, Glad I could help…I went through a similar scenario. I think you could get by with just 74357.2623…..the domain name would be sepearte. I have no idea about unjoining from the CIS AP connection? If you still get the error message from socket.library, check your socketconfig to see if…
#Uk Amiga Press Conf!

#AT Distribution
Message #208537
All, Here is a message from AT about the worldwide distribution network for Ami: Amiga Technologies is building up its worldwide distribution network. Amiga responsibilities for distribution are based in several countries, each of which supplies other attached countries as follows : AMIGA Germany for Germany and Poland, led by…
Hank, When you get the error message…look at the title bar of the requester, it should tell you 'what' file the message is refereing to. When you set-up AmiTCP is the "USER' info you used…74357.2623@compuserve.com? If not, this could be your problem? Tom
Hank, >Then I get an error message, "error in my config-file line 1"< If this is an error for the socket.library…you have a blank line as the first line of the file or an error in the config…. delete the blank line and try again. Just for reference here is…
Peter, You must be running WB 2.04? 1.4beta4 will only work with 3.x! Tom
Mike, Thanks for the clarification on Acou Alchemy. I love Tuck and Patti! You might get a kick outta this one. On the way to the beach yesterday with my 10 year old daughter and 12 year old nephew I told them about M J's upcomimg CO and asked them…
Hi Peter, It's toward the 'bottom' of the page for the Amiga Web Directory….which is just a click away from the Amosaic page…it's just a link. BTW, I was going to reply to your post in AUSER….Amosaic 1.2 is real buggy…get amosaic14beta4_amitcp.lha in the binary download directory at the "AMosaic"…
Mike, It's nice to be apprieciated! Isn't Acoustic Alchemy by Strunz and Farrah or is that a separate duo? It's a "conference", not a convention! BTW, on AUg. 17th…Michael Jackson will be in his first CO! I don't really care a lot for his music…but this will probably be the…

Pat, The page is maintained by Mark Rigby-Jones: http://info.ox.ac.uk/~kebl0206/eric.html there are links on the page to download Eric's anims. Good Luck! Tom tbarker@empirenet.com
Pat, Go to the AMosaic home page and scroll down the page…it's just a click away once you see it..then when in the directory scroll down the page to the Swartz site and click…it has a "NEW" icon indicating that it is a recent page addition! Good Luck! If you…
Pat, check out the Amiga Web Directory…there is a NEW section for E. Swartz! Tom
Pat, Last nite was my first on the INET. I think I saw a page for Eric..go to the Mosaic Home page and snoop around. Most of his anims were there! Tom…….Ami/INet surfer dude…..
Ottmar, Thanks for the information. We need our friends in Germany to keep us informed of the 'new' happenings from ESCOM. Perhaps yourself or someone else from here on CIS will attend and issue a report of the conference. Thomas…co-pilot to AP 1.80 above SoCal!!!
#For sale..more stuff
Message #194666
Hi Jim, I'll send my offers via Email. But if you don't mind I'd like to ask you (in the voice of Martin Lawrence) WWAAASSS UUUPPPP?? 🙂 Looks kinda like a mini-liquidation at UUI. What is your viewpoint as to the ESCOM new- ownership and your thoughts on the fate…
Hi Tim, Sorry to hear about AW closing. It feels like I just lost a small but important part of my life. I have been a subscriber since '86, a full year before I actually owned an Amiga. AW really helped me grow as an Amiga user over the years.…
#VTU EXPO
Message #179113
Hi Dale, I was able to get to see the exhibits at VT Expo for 2 1/2 hrs on the last day. Even though this isn't near enough time to check everything out, I got a 'decent' overview of several products. Brute beasts of render were in evidence everywhere. Several…
#CAD Programs
Message #132350
Peter, In December Richard Nolen sent me a beautiful 14 page color brochure on the Unix XCAD product. It looks very impressive. He said it would run under DESQview/X which is an XWindows system for DOS PC's. Do you know anything about DESQview/X? One of the nice things for Amiga…
CAD Programs
Message #132349
Ken, Thanks for your response. It's always a pleasure to share info with fellow professionals. I talked with Grafx Computing today and the list price of GFX-CAD3000 is $619 at this time. You might want to wait to make your purchase until you get the XPRESS. It has reviews of…
#Cad Programs
Message #132052
Hi Ken, You didn't mention in any of your posts what kind of drafting and designing you were doing? I have been using XCAD products in my Architectural design business since 1989. The current version that I use is called GFX-CAD3000. This is a very solid 2d and 3d design…

Message #121319
Hi Leonard, Make yourself do a project, this the best way to learn quickly. I can help you at any time. Feel free to post because I check messages at least every 4-5 days, often I check daily. DMI is going to do 1 more upgrade on the Amiga version…
GFX-CAD3000
Message #121318
DynaCADD is a fine program. It is very useful for 2d drafting, however when working in 3d and using very large files it performs at a ssnnaa- iillss pace compared to GFX-CAD! An object that takes maybe 8 seconds to redraw in GFX-CAD will take over a minute in DynaCADD!…
GFX-CAD3000
Message #121317
No 2d format can understand 3d terrain data. Let me tell you what I have done with interfacing with Civil Engineers. They use a data collection device for the contour control points in the field and then transfer the data to their PC sytem with LandCADD running inside AutoCAD. They…
