#A1200 3.1 ROM install
Message #196895
Can anyone offer advice on installing the 3.1 ROMs in my A1200. I've had them in and out several times in different configurations, starting with the way the instruction page suggested, but no luck. The old ones work fine. I've now had them in and out a couple times too.…
Hi. Ja, that's the right e-mail address (but don't use the < and >, then it looks more conventional and it works). However, when I asked some installation questions _before_ I registered, he was unwilling to offer _any_ help (from his standpoint, you can understand why, but I was kind…
#Help with Mosaic
Message #185745
Jim, I have been watching this thread because I have been unsuccessful getting Mosaic to run. May I draw on your experience? I have 2 versions of AmiTCP: v2.x and the $ v4.1. I have the 2.x version running. So far I 'Gopher' all over successfully. The v4.1 is still…
SASG is the "company" that is responsible for a group of programs, including MWB by Martin Hutenloher and MUI by Stefan Stuntz. They both have the same USA registration site, Robert Blayzor, PO Box 807, Johnstown, NY 12095-0807. You asked about MWB; I used the above address, sent my $20…
For what it is worth- I sent an e-mail to the author of MUI (same US registration site as MWB I believe). Stephen Stuntz sent a terse answer stating yes, it is still in operation. The BBS phone number associated with Robert Blayzor is disconnected, however. Ken
Jack, Is this something that registered users should download? Thanks, Ken
#rx: unknown command
Message #181482
Although I have Rexxc in my path, when I try to execute a certain script I get: rx: unknown command rx failed returncode 10 I know this is supposed to launch my arexx script, but it doesn't. Is there something I can do to get the computer to follow the…
I used the file search and couldn't find the file. I tried file extension 'gif' and your CI$ address, searched AmigaVendor, the other forums and only found some of your other upload gifs.
Now I'm curious about this rock too. I scanned the file but couldn't find it. Could you give the exact file name (again perhaps)?
#Q and A on AmiTCP
Message #173865
Dale, Can you suggest a dialer for AmiTCP? Also, does the new AmiPOP program work with SANA II? BTW, I find your book, helpful, rich and interesting. Ifinally bought it from my local AMIGA store. Thanks, Ken
I had the same problem. The author said it has to do with a "bug in some versions of IconX." I'm not sure if I believe that, but the solution he suggests is fairly simple. Ido not know what the program is looking for. Fisrt unpack the program with LhA…
Naaaaa! I've never returned a book on time anyway and I'd probably want to keep it for reference, since the days of my photographic memory and instant understanding left when my brain finally clogged with useless other trivia. Now every time I want something in longterm memory, I have to…
#CheckSum Error
Message #166833
I downloaded a .gif file recently with AP that aborted. Now I have an icon for a file that has no size, i.e., '0 bytes' but I cannot delete it. All the manuevers I've tried give me a window with the text: "Data (the name of my hd partition) has…
Thanks Kermit, I got Viewtek 2.1 which works fine. It reconfirmed my confidence in my ability to read and comprehend. I was sure I was doing what the docs said! Ken Olson
#Viewtek
Message #42426
I am trying to use Viewtek 2.0. I have figured out the .gif file for gopher needs the old chip set, so now I can get it to paint on the screen, however as soon as the .gif are done painting, they each disappear. This is true of the weather…
This is part of a message the author of MWB sent me after I sent the shareware. I think it was worth it. >>Try this: Change the current dir to that of MagicWB via shell. Now type >>"execute install". This will work for shure. [sic] >>It is a bug in…
OK OK, so I don't use them (floppies) for anything either. And I do have a bunch. It's almost a relief when one is corrupted so I can throw it away guiltlessly. I'll put them back in the drives and delete NickPrefs. I don't use it for anything else either.…
Thanks. It will be fun to try a couple new things out. Ken
Don't know, but I'll download it and try it. The one in NickPrefs works fine. I just wondered if I was missing out on something I didn't set properly somewhere, e.g. MultiView. It took an article in AW for me to figure out anything about MultiView, referred to only once…
#FloppyDrive Click
Message #136105
I have NickPrefs on my A1200 and haven't noticed any problem. (Although I can't seem to get MagicWB1.2 to install.) I have it to use NoClick. It has a bunch of settings I don't intend to use, however. Is there some other no-click program for WB3.0x I should be using?…
#MagicWB1.2 Installation
Message #134617
Dear Mark et al, I posted this message before but so far I haven't hit the right answer. I hope someone will be able to help. Perhaps you can steer me in the right direction. I wish to install MagicWB1.2, however I get a message that says something to the…
Thanks Karl. I just checked. The line says: assign Magic: "" resident IU update/IconUpdate pure if warn echo "*e[32m Installation aborted due to failure of the 'resisent' command!*n Please check if you have got the original 'resident' command in C:*n" wait 8 quit endif I think I can do that…
I'd like a copy. Would you let me know how to get it? Can I order it through CIS?
#MagicWB1.2 Install
Message #133890
I posted this message before but no one responded. I hope someone will be able to help. I wish to install MagicWB1.2, however I get a message that says something to the effect that I do not have "Resident" in C: directory. Resident is an internal command (which I believe…
MagicWB1.2 install
Message #130910
I'm having trouble installing MagicWB 1.2. I get the message asking me to "Please check if you have got the original 'resident' command in C:" directory. What does this mean? What can I change? The Resident command is internal according to the AmigaDOS reference, i.e. not in C:. Am I…

#ParNet HELP!!!!
Message #127733
I'd appreciate any help available too. I'm hoping to transfer files from my A500 to my new A1200. so far I just haven't been able to find the energy to get the job done! In part because of too little or too complex docs.
Ron, thanks for the tip. I don't plan to use the printer and ParNet at the same time, since I'll have a cable to the other computer between tha parallel ports. I'll fix the system so Parnet is only mounted when I need it! Thanks again. PS I sure have…
#ParNet
Message #126342
Help! Can anyone tell me what to do to get my printer back online? The problem is this: I've installed ParNet. It won't let me use my printer. I keep getting "object is in use" message. Of course, my printer is a par: device so there must be some kind…
#Amiga Comm Program
Message #123946
How can we register our discontent to Compuserve? To whom should we direct comments about our desire to be first class citizens on CI$? I believe I do pay the same rates as do pc and Mac users. And I agree AP is great!
Amiga & Internet/UseNet
Message #121061
Does anyone know if either Gopher (from U of Minnesota) or Mosaic has been ported to the Amiga (for use on Internet)?
A1200 expansion box
Message #63637
Rumor has it that GVP (and probably others) are getting ready to release an expansion box for the A1200. I heard it would sit under the machine. I want either the A1200 or the A4000. I probably do not need even the speed of the '030 nor very much expansion…
#2.03 to 2.1 or not
Message #112887
Would anyone be willing to review why I might wish to upgrade from WB2.03 to WB2.1? Would there be any obvious performance changes or look-and-feel changes? I might add that the switch from 1.3 was great. An article in AW about Feb 93 outlined the differences, but I still was…
#Terminus
Message #111069
Dear Jack, I really appreciate the opportunity to try Terminus which I downloaded recently awhile before buying it. I am having trouble knowing just how to configutre my old Avatex 1200 for it. Although it is old, it has been very serviceable. Can you offer me specific suggestions? With AutoPilot…
#Terminus
Message #110885
Dear Steve, I downloaded Terminus a few weeks ago but have had no opportunity to use it due to my modem set up. The modem works just fine with AutoPilot, although I did simplify the initial string to ATDT. I do not know how to set up my modem for…
