#Undeleting files Message #12828
From: Ken Newman Amiga Tech Forum · System Software August 1, 1991 10:19 PM
Can anyone point me at a utility to undelete an Amigados file? Are there reliable PD programs that can do this, i.e. if I delete a file, and don't write anything else on that disk, can the file be undeleted? Thnx – kn

Starting a war? Huh? Over purple worms? If we start a war it should be about something juicier, like why the Atari TT is better than the 3000. ;-l (ducking flames) – kn

Tom – sure, that'll work, but I think you're missing some points… – Yes, there is no food on the floor in the worm level – you EAT THE WORMS! (Ugh, I can't believe I said that :v) ). There is also plenty of water on the previous level. Therefore…

As someone has mentioned, the best way to kill purple worms is the "DM two-step" (moving sideways, turning 90 deg., etc) in a 2×2 square. DO NOT run away, DO NOT use doors (these approaches don't get you any experience!), DO NOT waste magic on them (your characters usually won't…

From: Ken Newman Amiga Arts Forum · Impulse September 6, 1990 9:13 PM
Just got Shufflepuck Cafe recently. The Amoeba version is fabulous. The mouse controls are as close to perfect as I've ever seen in an arcade game. The playability is great, the graphics and sound are excellent, it's great with some friends over, etc. When I first got it, I played…

I heard that the massive popularity of the MT-32 was largely due to people with IBM PC's buying them to work with the newer Sierra games. There was a point where Roland could hardly make the aging module fast enough and they were hard to get, when the Sierra MIDI…

Has anybody had any good/bad experiences with Phoenix floppy drives. I just returned one that was slightly flaky. It looks like the same mechanism used by similar drives (Oceanic, etc) but I'm not sure of the exact make. Haven't got the replacement yet, so it might just be a bad…
#75297 Manx 5.0 C? Message #75640
From: Ken Newman AmigaTech Forum · C Programming November 22, 1989 9:15 PM
Thnx a lot for setting the record straight. I understand your comment about editors but I disagree that the user is "locked" into using that editor exclusively. The way I do it, initial program creation is done with my favourite editor, vi, (on the ST) and I use the Laser…
