Slimeballs and Thieves
Message #12128
If you're not referring to me then the coincidence is truly astounding. Yes I ran the program more than once. Of what relevance is that? I wrote you two email letters and you answered me with a 128-byte patch. Again I suggest to you to look in your records as…
All right, if you're going to make accusations let's at least get the truth out. Someone uploaded Whap to People/Link and said it was a new "1.4 demo version." I downloaded it from our Sysop approval area to see what it was. I had tried an earlier demo version of…
I think we have a misunderstanding here. Are you saying that "running" a PAK file to dissolve it is dangerous? Or are you saying that downloading a file which has a .PAK extension under the surmise that it actually IS a PAK file is dangerous, since one doesn't really know…
Larry (and others)…a couple of points here: 1) PAK does provide a way to see what's "in" a .PAK archive before unravelling it. You need the PAK utility itself to do this. It's a whopping 5K long, so it shouldn't put any terrible contraints on anyone to get it and…
I was sitting (well standing actually) in the L.A. Airport Hilton theatre during =RJ='s lecture on the Amiga when he was told by a personage in the audience that "The Sidecar had Passed the FCC" testing. This was the first =RJ= had heard about it. Everyone else too, apparently. Mention…

1.2 is not "officially" released yet. This does not mean you can't get it. Talk to a LOT of Amiga folks. You'll find a solution.

Well if there's any way to load a printer/screen dumper routine, such as Scrimper or Scrndump or grabbit and still be able to load the GAME so your screen dumper doesn't go away, then yes you should be able to dump the screen. I've dumped (in color) the title screen…

(A) Amiga modem is now out, it's buyable here and there, haven't seen it in SoCal yet but a friend saw it on a dealer's shelves in Orlando FL. Comes bundled with AmigaTerm and Procomm (for the Transformer side). Oddly enough, 1.2 Release does not allow running of the Transformer,…

1.2 has some major improvements such as a PATH command, just like MS dos, much faster directories and filling of WB windows with icons, lots of new commands, like the ability to AddBuffers to your diskdrives and printer ports, etc. . Stay tuned…method of distribution (i.e. run to your dealer…

#1.2 problems
Message #31443
Right, I know about addbuffers… seems to give me much faster dirs, but when i put an Addbuffers DF0: 5 and DF1: 5 (on two separate lines of course) into my startup-sequence, i get back a warning message about insufficient memory for buffers requested. I don't get any such when…

The problem with your Musicraft files could be that the files have some "customized" instruments, which are not found on your musicraft disk! There's a file on Plink called MCINFO2.EXE which analyzes a musicraft file and gives you a screen or paper printout telling you which instruments are loaded into…

Hey John…. (guess who)… remember DJJ? He wrote a nice little utility for me that does what you described. Takes one of the dealer demo sampled sound instruments (effects) and converts it to an instant music-readable instrument. Then you just stuff it into a correctly named subdir on DF1:, load…

Charlie… well don't blush! You did what no one else seems capable of, or willing to do.. and that is make the best directory requester around. I was referring to both the demo and the for sale version… I've seen them both. Actually, you'll hate me for this but for…

The routine in your program TxED which displays directories is bar ooops by FAR the *BEST* directory requestor I have seen on ANY piece of Amiga software yet, and I think I have just about seen them all. It would behoove ALL amiga developers to take a look at what…

JOhn…..missed the opportunity to reply to your earlier post about online's terrible capture buffer. Set the buffer size to 1K, instead of bigger than 64K. It will just keep appending the next K to the previous K, etc etc and will not truncate what is already there on the disk,…

Craig…two PD programs may help you. SAVEILBM will save ANY amiga screen to disk as an IFF file providing you can get to a CLI window to run it….. SCREENDUMP will dump any screen to printer, it runs in its own menubar. Sounds like SAVEILBM would solve your problem. It's…

EA has the best software for the Amiga so far?? Well, I'd reword that to say they have the best SINGLE piece of software, being of course DPaint. The rest of it? Mainly C64/Apple rehases with nice sound effects. Where's marble madness? the new Pinball Const Set? Where's Deluxe Music,…

Dear All: I want to use Textcraft and get NLQ output with my SG-10 (Star) printer. I can do this by reconfig. 3 of the printer's dipswitches… but waht I want to know is if there' ssome way to redirect Textcraft's output to PAR: instead of to PRT: I can…
Wayne….didn't I tell ya long ago that the 170x monitor was capable of perfectly good 80 cols if wired up using both the 5-pin to luma and the composite jack to chroma? A friend of mine who works on electronic gizmos at a hospital came over early during my Amiga…

Maybe we'll have 12 or 37 different basics to choose from a few years from now! It's nice to have two of them (look how long MAC users [early ones] had to wait to even have ONE!) but you're right! Where are the MSBasic uploads? I like Microsoft's products, always…

Well, Don't know about 'only the top twenty ibm programs', of course I don't have them ALL, but such MINOR utility type programs like "1DIR" work perfectly, which leads me to believe that at least with this beta version of the Transformer, finding out exactly what WILL work is a…

The R/S Modem II will NOT respond to commands sent to it at 7E1. The modem's manual indicates that 8/n/1 uppercase only is the only combo of settings with which commands may be sent to the modem. It's just a minor inconvenience using Online! with it I just have to…

Okay, Bob, thanks for the explanation. I'm really wow'd by your VMCO, just from that one screen shot, never having seen it running in real time. BTW, what do you do when more than 20 people are in the conference? You've only got 20 chairs. Pretty nice of Compute to…

Dear E/A….don't the instructions in the manual for DPaint specifically explain HOW to change the Preferences file on the original disk….and here you say that "it is a BAD IDEA (your emphasis) to put new preferences on a product disk…." How is one supposed to customize their D/Paint (which is…

Bob…would VMCO for the Amiga HAVE to be Compuserve-specific? Is there any way the user could modify it to use on other networks with other prompts? Could it hold or be built with a library of prompts from different networks' conference areas? I really LOVE the whole idea. (and I…

Yeah, I was doing polyscope-type cycled-screens last night too. REally blew my mind how easy such complicated looking effects are to do with DPaint. Try grabbing the entire paint can from the paintcan screen as a brush , turn on cycling to about a factor of 12 or so, then…
