Hi, Peter, PMFJI (Actually I'm hoping to learn something; I' haven't yet learned a language with support for OO programming.) >>There is a lot of talk about things being hidden and data only accessible to member functions but I don't see much advantage to this. If you are designing a…
#NeuroPro?
Message #209790
Daniel, What's NeuroPro? I hadn't heard of it. It sounds like it must be a neural network program. I train neural networks at work for various applications, and do a bit of algorithm development. Most of our work in the past few years has been on image search problems. Clay…
#File uploaded?
Message #47614
I up-loaded a file called gc.lha back on the 8th. I now don't see it in the libraries. Did it mysteriously disappear (i.e., should I try again), did I do something wrong that you know of, or was there something wrong with the file? Clay
Hi, David, This is just a note to let you know that I'm not ignoring your message. I've been busy for a few days, and haven't yet gotten around to bringing home a copy of the GC library code and uploading it. Now I'm going to be gone for a…
Your English is excellent. Now, take my sentence "Is nobody…", which sounds bad to me. 🙂 Clay
>>Just for the sake of discussion, that same advantage can be a disadvantage. As with everything, it depends upon what you are trying to do and is not 100% to allow you to concentrate on other aspects of coding. That is to say, for something it can indeed free you…
Hi, Werner, >>well, in new programming projects, I tend to use pooled memory allocation using the LibAllocPooled() routine (et al) from AmigaLib V 40.14.
#Garbage collection
Message #47203
What!? No one is interested in a garbage-collecting memory allocation package for C and C++ (apparently only for SAS compilers)? Maybe it's because I posted the message in the General Programming section, or I wasn't clear that it is for C and C++ programs? Oh, well. If anyone is interested,…
#Garbage Collection
Message #47126
There's a garbage collecting memory allocation link library written in c called GC. Apparently there's an amiga port of it. I don't see it in the libraries. Did I just miss it? If not, I could try to lha it and upload it, if there's interest. Clay
Don, Just a suggestion: >>$ppp0: bad value add host 199.174.154.17: gateway 127.0.0.1 add net default: gateway 149.174.212.35: Network is unreachable
>>I moved the PPP/Devs to SYS:Devs/ and the SANAII driver into the Networks/ directory in Devs/.
Oops. I know it's not my fault (at least, I think so), but I'm sorry it happened anyway. Clay
AutoPilot (AP.LHA in the AmigaVendor forum, library 9) is rather different, but it saves you lots of on-line time and therefore money when posting and reading c-mail and forum messages. It also does allows you to gather and read the forum library contents off-line, and will download your selections automatically.…
>>i have downloaded lha138.run but I obviously am missing some sort of clue.
You only need the AmiTCP version of AMosaic. You also need PPP, which is in the libraries in this forum. You might also want to download the file PPPHLP.LHA (it's some thing very similar to that), which contains a thorough description of a working set-up. Install PPP *first*, following it's…
Oops! Thanks for the correction. Clay
Bill, No, you can connect to the internet with AmiTCP and PPP, which are available in the AmigaUser libraries. Then you can run ftp, telnet, and AMosaic. AMosaic is also in the libraries, and I think telnet and ftp come with AmiTCP (I haven't used them). Setting all this up…
Check out AutoPilot in Library 9 of the AmigaVendor Forum. The file is called AP.LHA. It is shareware. You download it, unpack it in a temporary directory (like RAM:), and install it with the install script that is included. The demo version has certain capabilities disabled. When you want to…
Your computer gets a dynamic IP address, but the NAMESERVEER is the IP address of a computer through which your computer can look up the IP addresses corresponding to names you might know. You need to set that to something other than 0.0.0.0. BTW, from your other message you were…
You need something like a PPP or SLIP connection. AmiTCP has to hook up through a device, which typically would be ppp.device or slip.device or some such thing. There is a copy of PPP software for the amiga in this forum's libraries. However, your university needs to be running corresponding…
Carson, The MUI drawer is a separate problem. Look in ENVARC: (SYS:Prefs/EnvArchive, on my computer). All of the stuff in there gets copied to RAM:Env when your computer boots, so nothing in your startup or user-sequence would refer directly to mui. Good luck with the other stuff. Clay
I thought LhArc was different from lha. Am I mistaken? Clay
I'm not an expert, but I have a few suggestions, for what they're worth. Install PPP first. You probably shouldn't install those other SANA 2 devices, like A2060, unless you actually have them. >>"Do you want to copy settings from old installation?" I clicked "yes" and let these configuration settings…
Robert, I had the same problem, or at least the same symptom. Try looking in your AMiTCP:db/hosts file, and see if there is a line with an internet address followed by the word localhost. Apparently, the internet address should be 127.0.0.1, although mine is 0.0.0.0. The thing I did (mucking…
Jim, If I understand you, you do not log on to the internet, you log on to a computer connected to the internet, which you have in front of you already. From your amiga, once it's connected, you can rlogin (remote login) to another computer connected to the net if…
I don't think you need anything but ppp.device and the standard serial.device that came with your computer. Clay
1) Set up your system and go ahead. 2) The domain name server number is 149.174.64.41, enter 0.0.0.0 for the destination address (the last one's in the PPP installation instructions in PPP.guide). 3) PPP is a SANA-2-compatible driver, or at least the documentation says so. 4) I don't know. I…
There's a certain logic there . Clay
I'm pretty sure some of the slowness has to do with all of the people trying to access the internet through compuserve, and their servers are bogged down. Could be worng , though. Clay
I would think the REMOTEIP part isn't necessary either, and may be wrong. Shouldn't the compuserve host transmit that? Clay
>>The word "localhost" is set up in your hosts file to map to the IP address 127.0.0.1. That's standard for TCP/IP. 127.0.0.1 always means your own machine.
Paul, >>With Bart's so far it fails the first time then runs the second time, but I think I have to manually run AmiTCP first, and then startnet runs it again, although I'm not even sure if I tested that since trying Bart's dialscript.
Paul, Just a wild guess at something to check: You said >>Then I put the DIALSCRIPT entry in ppp0.config file in env:sana2.
Bart, I'm lucky enough to be able to try it at work on a Sun with ethernet and a nice connection to the outside world. It's quite nice at the higher speed, but it's *still* slow sometimes. Turning off in-line images is supposed to speed it up, but I haven't…
Thanks, Steve! I noticed three differences in my startnet file compared to yours: 1) Mine had the word "localhost" where yours had the ip address 127.0.0.1. 2) I had a line to start the inetd at the end, which you didn't have. I left that in though, and it works…
Greg, For shame! Such commercialism 🙂 Their shareware fee does seem high, although maybe I just haven't aquired much shareware recently. I thought those were typical PC/Mac prices. I've now bought a copy of your program, and it works well so far. (
Final Writer macro
Message #192057
Hi, Louis, I had to change these, too. I also went in and changed the positions of the numbers. It is line #175, with the /** offset for day # textblock **/ comment. I changed it from .125 to .25, but you might want to make it a bit bigger.…
Really? The second situation works? How is qsort defined in your library? In Manx and Unix (at least on Sun's library) the third argument is supposed to a pointer to a function that does the comparison. Clay
If you can get a computer that drives a postscript printer to read the file as the ascii that a postscript file contains, that computer and printer can print it. (I hope that's clear!) Clay

Kronos, if I heard Quark and a few others correctly in a recent episode of Deep Space Nine. Is that the correct spelling, at least according to someone semi-authoritative? Clay Spence
> … what does CPU FASTROM do? Well, I thought it used the MMU to remap the libraries in the Kickstart ROMs into fast RAM, which should speed up system calls somewhat. I can't find the reference that said this, though. The AmigaDOS manual says it "copies data from ROM…
Are you using CPU FASTROM? This is the only problem I have had with my Microbotics M1230XA expansion board, and the only program that I noticed it causing problems for is Lemmings II. When I tried to run this with FASTROM, it gave a scrambled display. If I remember correctly…
Last Monday's (May 9) issue of The (Trenton) Times had an article on the front page of the business section about the flood of postings on usenet about the end of Commodore. The author, Don Henry, wrote about those who said the Amiga was a superior computer: "They were right,…
#HDBackup problems
Message #122966
I'm having a little trouble with the HDBackup utility in the Tools drawer. I finally decided to back up the Work: partition on my hard disk. I de-selected the files and directories I did not want to back up, and HDBackup told me I would need 6.1 floppies to do…
