Whap! for Bix
Message #12142
Brian, Not at this time. There may be in the future. Best, -jcs-

Whap! Ideas
Message #12141
Michael, The problem is in the Execute() function. It wants the CBM supplied (BCPL) version of RUN in c:. I use WShell. I have a script that starts Whap!. The last line of that script is RUNWSH WHAP!. I have runwsh and run in my c:. Best, -jcs-

Whap! and Cocomm 5.0
Message #12140
Darron, I've never run Cocomm. I don't know. It works fine with Access!, Aterm, and Online!. It _should_ work with Cocomm assuming that Cocomm doesn't open the serial.device in exclusive mode (as Diga! does) and that you have enough ram for it. Best, -jcs-

Whap! Ideas
Message #12139
Steve, Whap! isn't guaranteed to work with ARP. It so happens that it does, as most programs do. Should a future incarnation of ARP have a serious conflict with the system as shipped by CBM, Whap! will work with the "official" release of the system software. Since I don't believe…

Whap! Ideas
Message #12138
Charlie, It all depends on your definition of "bug" and "feature". I'll grant that it's not necessarily a bug, but I wouldn't call it a feature, either. It's an incompatibility. According to the AmigaDOS User's Manual, section 1.3.1, page 1-2 …. "The filing system allows filenames to have up to…

1.4 won't get msgs
Message #12133
Steve, People complained that the program always did an explicit RM. Because of that, they got the same messages twice if they were using RTN. In 1.4, RM became a settable option. It's available in the registered version. In the Demo 1.4, you will still get your marked messages as…
#Slimeballs and Thieves
Message #12073
I've tried to provide software that works (mostly) at a fair price. A price that will probably be saved in just one or two months in decreased connect time. I've provided a usable demo of the program, so that if you don't want to register it and can live with…
Ron, I wasn't speaking of the easyplex address book, but the user id directory of Whap!. Best, -jcs-
Ron, Yes, I've gotten yours. I sent out an email about, but your's got kicked back because I mistyped your ppn. I forgot to resend it. (That's what I get for not having you in my ppn directory). Best, kR M-

WHAP Problem
Message #3424
Bill, Other than not having it setup correctly, I really don't know. Delete ALL files from your HD subdirectory where you keep Whap!. Then unarc that file to the subdirectory and let it run again. In the next 4-7 days 1.3D will be uploaded and the first registered version will…
Bill, No, those aren't flakies. Keypad minus will delete the line that the cursor is on. Keypay plus will open a blank line below that of the cursor. Lee, if you catch this, sorry, I meant Keypad minus, not delete. Position the cursor on the first blank line after your…
Karl, The .SAV file will be written to WHAP:. 1.2D fixes a bug in 1.1D in that if you do a catalog of a library that has no entries that match your search criteria and you try to look at that Lib with the D function, the machine will guru.…
Henry, I've tried to duplicate the problem but I can't. I must see the .UPL file. There has to be something in the keywords or description itself that is triggering Whap! into confusion. Best, -jcs-
Joel, That sounds strange. Are you very sure you have View! in WHAP: and that it is indeed named View! ? Best, -jcs-
Lee, There is always 1 blank line at the end. Before saving, if you want to delete extraneous blank lines you may have created, position the cursor at the end of the last line and hit delete a few times. Best, -jcs-
Ed, You could always use the COMMSEQ keys. Right-Amiga-K for Keep, Right-Amiga-N for next (or right arrow). You may want to keep a message before you reply to or after you've replied to it. It doesn't make any assumptions on what order things should be done. To unhighlight the C,…
Ron, You've got something screwy going on. Whap! does not delete itself and 1.2D says 1.2D when it starts up. Best, -jcs-
Paul, I believe you about the message header. At first I thought it was related to the problem of the header only being partially displayed when it contained a slash. It's not. Best, -jcs-
Lee, There are a couple of flakies in the editor that I know of. Should you get what appears to be doubled lines and/or disappearing text, don't panic. It's a redraw problem. Just hit SHIFT-up or down arrow to force a redraw of the screen. I'll get that fixed shortly…
Then, via Edit Parameters, path your messages and downloads to a disk in DF1:. When it starts getting full, and assuming you want to keep your old .msg files, stick a new disk in DF1:. Make sure it has the same name as the previous disk or in your pathing…

AmigaArts.SEC AmigaTech.SEC AmigaVend.SEC colors Disk.info params.whap rates siginfo view! Whap! That will leave you with approximately 45% free space on DF0:.
Karl, I keep warning about disk space! It is NOT a good idea to run with Append if you're using floppy. It's not a good idea to run with Append for very long if you're using a hard disk. There is only a finite amount of space regardless of what…
Allen, Not entirely taken care of. It needs a drop carrier timeout. I would not run Whap! (or TapCIS or Navigator) unattended for longer than 10 minutes or so). Best, -jcs-
Richard, More investigation is necessary then. You're theory is incorrect. I deleted my address book and the message never appeared. The only time I personally have seen the message is on a new account when email has never been used or on an old account when you request a new…
Paul, Still looking. Best, -jcs-
Ron, I've never seen it delete itself or any file it's not supposed to delete. Are you running it from ram: or VD0: ? Best, -jcs-
Dave, I'll look at it more carefully. Whap! is sending a RT ONLY for the headers you've marked. I have no idea why you'd be getting threads you've already read unless CompuServe has changed the way read thread works and gives you everything from the beginning of the thread or…
Arrrrggghhhhhh
Message #1300
Tom, Leave a message to FEEDBACK explaining the situation. Hopefully they'll credit you. I guess it's time for a drop carrier timeout. I don't know why it stopped but do know why CompuServe didn't disconnect. When Whap! times out, it sends a ^Q in case the expect prompt was garbled…
Vic, There is no forum generated message that informs you of that a section has been added. To pick it up you would have to delete your .SEC file. Best, -jcs-
Jon, Then please explain to me why it happens 100% of the time when I use my CTS modem with Access, Aterm, Comm, Online or any other terminal program I've tried. Best, -jcs-
Chris, From the doc, such as it is …. "Abort – This will skip to te next number and redial." Best, -jcs-
Mark, GEnie? Never heard of 'em. Best, -jcs-
Larry, For instance? Best, -jcs-
Jon, All I can say is that it works for me. Whap! opens 3 serial ports. 1 for read, 1 for write, 1 strictly to monitor DTR. When Whap! is sitting at the main screen all are closed. When it invokes another terminal program read and write are closed and…
Chris, Right arrow will move you to the next message, left arrow to the previous message. No compression is planned. It just plain takes too long. Best, -jcs-
Bill, You can change the connect string to just CONNECT as that would be true at either 2400 or 300. Best, -jcs-
Brendan, Whap! runs 8 bit, just like Procomm. You may have Procomm set up for 7 bit, but it switches to 8 bit for protocol transfers. This means that you can use 8 bit via your network. Not being familiar with CSCNet I have no idea how to set it…
Bruno, Somewhere along the line you changed your OPtions in the CBMART (and maybe in other forums you use). Go back manually and set the menu option in the forum to GLOBAL. Then delete the Tnnn in WHAP: and have it run again. Whap! sets your global defaults but not…
Paul, Someone else mentioned in jest what really was in fact. My compiler has been going almost 24 hours a day. The only thing necessary for 1.2D is to delete your params.whap file before running for the first time. Best, -jcs-
Ed, Guess I forgot to mention it. It's been resolved in 1.2D. Best, -jcs-
Larry, While reading messages, click on the FROM: name in the red/grey bar. Best, -jcs-
Luciano, The version number is in the window in the upper right corner of the main screen when you boot the program. Best, -jcs-
Luciano, You caught one! Jim Marias had a similar problem. I don't think this is significant enough to warrant a 1.3D but will definitely be fixed in the registered version. Thanks for the report. Best, -jcs-
Jim, I don't know. I just went through all of the billing options with no disk in DF0:, everything was fine. It sounds like you might have forgotten to make an assign to your HD. T: maybe? I don't know. Maybe if you upload your complete startup-sequence I can tell…
Greg, You've found something I totally forgot about. It's easily resolved, though. If you have never used EasyPlex on your current user id, you will get that message every time you go to EasyPlex. Whap! doesn't account for it. Write an email to yourself. Wait about 5-10 minutes then go…
Chris, Good ideas. I'll consider them for the future. Best, -jcs-
Chris, I have no plans to support threading. What it would take is an external program that would take 2 .msg files and put them in threaded order. If someone wants to write that and upload it you won't hear any complaints from me! As you've probably noticed, when you…
Chris, I don't know what happened although it does sounds as if your node went away. If it was Whap! going to sleep your manually entered carriage return would have gotten a response form CompuServe and Whap! would have taken off again. Also, every day, sometime between 5 am EDT…
Ray, Any graphics that are rendered into a window that the window does not know about will be effected (not redrawn) when you use a click to front utility in that window. Meaning anything that was put there by DrawImage() or RectFill(). Best, -jcs-
