Moving on Message #181174
From: charles arthur Amiga User Forum · SoapBox January 8, 1995 2:15 PM
I know, I know … see message #181173, reply to Steve Ahlstrom … believe me, I'm heartbroken … money has been our main problem, now with the Commodore demise added to further sour things (at least for now). Thanks for the response….!

True, "to each his/her own" …. never having had a 4000, or access to one, I'm in no position to compare, let alone comment on comparisons of those machines. Money was a primary concern in staying with the A500 (as is the case for many folks), and what with the…

I gave all this stupidity up several weeks ago. This message is via Intel 486/DX2/60mHz (fast) 1/2G HDD, 4mb memory (more to come soon), etc.. Don't get me wrong: I love the Amiga, still think it is the best in usability, user-friendliness, capability, etc.; the plain fact is that I…

Question: does anyone in the community have any experience using the following and convert them to other formats for use with Amiga software such as PageStream, Art Expression, Professional Page, Deluxe Paint, Final Writer, Brilliance, Lightwave and the Toaster Character Generator. TypeSmith 2.5 can load and save fonts in TrueType,…
lha, zip, & 2.04 Message #138827
From: charles arthur Amiga User Forum · Forum Business/Help April 11, 1994 11:48 PM
Thanks for the imformation. Noticing that the zip is in Lha format, it would seem prudent to consider Lha as a replacement in general, except for those cases where one runs into "zipped" data. Thanks again for the help! It is surely appreciated!
#PKAZIP, zip/unzip Message #138268
OK, I have this problem: I have Dennis Hoffman's PKAZIP 1.01, which is really good; however, there are later versions running on the IBM platform which have a level of compression my 1.01 can't handle. What do users recommend in this case: is there a later version of a zip…
