I've done that. It helps with apps that use the system pointer. Unfor- tunately, IconEdit, and other programs, have their own pointer! The "cross" pointer in IconEdit isn't changed when I change the standard arrow…
I've noticed in several places – perhaps the most annoying is in IconEdit, where I actually have to click in the pixel to the RIGHT of the one I want! It seems to be in all apps, though, including PageStream.
#Mouse Pointer Offset
Message #38847
Here's a weird one – does anyone have a clue why the mouse pointer on my A4000 is off by a pixel or two? I mean that I have to click slightly to the right of where I WANT to click! I corrected it somewhat by editing the pointer, and…
I don't know what hardware connection you have in mind… I'm connected to a LAN of unix machines over Ethernet (via the CBM A2065 board), using the TCP/IP protocol (via CBM's AS225 software). I'm able to mount hard drives from Sun's, SGI's, and a VAX/VMS, using NFS – they have…
Thanks. I'm going to spring for AS225 support from GfxBase – Dale Luck says I can get the latest version (shich includes a beta of SLIP, also!). John
#TCP/IP Nameserver
Message #38784
While all the discussion of TCP/IP is going on… Does anyone know how to access an internet nameserver from the Amiga, using the AS225 TCP/IP software over a direct ethernet connection? I've been happily networking locally for a while now, but my company just attached to the internet (hooray!!) .…
I use the X11 software. I also recently had a lot of trouble contacting GfxBase with a question of mine. It turns out that Dale Luck, and several of the original Amiga developers, are working on the 3DO cd-rom hardware (according to Dale, who FINALLY called be back). X11 works…

CDROM Encyclopedias
Message #116258
Thanks, Larry. My main concern, though, is that I'd like to use the database management software (subject finders, etc.) that come with the encyclopedias (like Groliers, Comptons). This s/w will be for Macs, etc., so I'd need an emulator (to get the full use). I don't mind accessing files "by…
CDROM Encyclopedias
Message #113385
Hi. I'd dearly like to get an encyclopedia on CD-ROM for my A3000. I'd like to be able to run its "database" driver program, to allow my kids to easily search for articles, and to get pictures, sound, etc. It seems that there's several choices for CDROM hardware and driver…
Thanks, Mike – I'll look them up (I just picked up the AC Amiga Catalog of h/w and s/w – probably they're in there). J
CD-ROM Question
Message #95692
Hi,all. I'm (at last) going to replace my old A1000 at home, probably with a used A2000 (can't afford the A3000 i use at work…). I'm especially interested in adding a CD-ROM, when drivers become available (this spring???). I'd like to be able to get the World Book encyclo- pedia…
I'm on ethernet with TCP/IP, connecting to either a VAX/VMS, an SGI Iris, or a Sun 4. Main problems seem to be with the VAX – it doesn't seem to know what terminal type I am, but sets me to a VT100 by default. Using the EDT editor, rloginvt doesn't…
I need to redirect to one of two PostScript printers, a mono LaserWriter and a Seiko color printer. Maybe some general networking utilities would make a good product for you guys! John
Thanks, I'll try that. I gather that CBM hasn't really gotten strongly into networking yet, but will have to, won't they? I've been pretty pleased ]with their Ethernet package (I'm using the NFS client, e.g.), except for the RLOGINVT program (rlogin with vt100 emulation), which doesn't emulate all that well.…
Yes, I meant WB 2.0 (bad typing, I guess…). Thanks, I don't know about "NET:" – can you steer me to anyone? I'll try a search on it. John
#Amiga Networking
Message #15979
Hi! I'm running an A3000 at my job, under Amigados2.2 . I am ethernetted to several non-CBM workstations (Sun, Iris, VAX); there are also two Postscript printers on the network. The CBM ethernet hardware and s/w work fine. However, does anyone know a way I can access the printers, across…
Hi, Don. The settings are 8N1, and always have been. I can get the VAX with any of three other modems at 8N1… I even have two different s/w packages to use; Online! v2.01 and the Meshugena VT220 emulator. I've been calling the VAX for two years with other modems…
#Baud Bandit Modem Help!
Message #15367
After getting the phone company to clean up my line (yes, they actually did it…), and after talking my job into buying a 2400 baud modem for the MicroVAX, I gleefully went to buy a new Progressive Peripherals Baud Bandit w/ MNP5. It's a nice modem, with good documentation. I…
