MB4 sounds neat! Can you describe Ami-FileSafe? I have no idea what it is. And does it come with all sold packages, or only when one buys direct from IAM? — Tom
Congratulations on SMG's new status! 🙂 — Tom
Dan, the default is to use a modifier key in ClickToFront with the window doubleclick. Have you checked its icon Tooltypes? — Tom
Hank, if you have problems with an email download, you can go back to the mail menu and type UNDEL to recover stuff that's been deleted recently. I dunno how long, though, but at least a few days. — Tom
Betty, things are really starting to sound encouraging with CIS support! — Tom
> There was also a guy named Lyon Kuntz Actually, it's "Lion", I'm pretty sure. Anyway, I wrote to the guy a bit while he was on GEnie, but he kinda alienated everybody with his attitude. He soon closed his account there and headed to a different service. He sure…
You bet — I'll upload 1.2a by the time you read this. Meanwhile, I don't need to doctor the executable since I've got a utility that redirects SER: calls, but it might be good for others to know it can be done with a hex editor. 🙂 If you wanna…
#AtomClock update?
Message #208518
> as it turns out the compiled version on my system is v1.1. I do have version 1.2a, which I think is the last one you released. I'll be glad to send it along with the doc file, but if you think you'll be tinkering with it and maybe adding…
IM 1.6
Message #118663
Thanks much, Ben — no hard feelings on the earlier stuff. But (just so you understand) the reply of yours I quoted is a message that *I* then replied to. It was THAT message that got no reply, so it was a total of two that got missed. Honest. Thanks…

Scala Press Release I
Message #197336
> non-interactive demo Oh, that's right! I remember seeing it now. I guess it was the non-interactive nature of it that prompted me to pass it by before. I'll take a look at it, though. Thanks! — Tom
> We do. (mention the Amiga Ben, you keep giving me reasons to be glad I'm a customer of yours. Now cut that out! ::chuckle:: — Tom

#Scala Press Release I
Message #197202
Is there any chance you guys could upload some kinda demo of (Amiga) Scala? I hear so much about the product, but I've never knowingly been anywhere where I could actually SEE it… — Tom
Thanks, guys, for mentioning the Amiga part of your heritage! That's something few companies do. And congrats on your new affiliations! 🙂 — Tom
Are reviews of Opus 5 available here on CIS? If not, could they be? I'd love to find out what's new and whether some age-old bugs were fixed before I upgrade. — Tom
Yup, got the 95LX! I just went on a downloading spree in the HPhandhelds Forum. All I need is a modem card, maybe a RAM card or two, and I'll be cooking with fire. Hmm, wonder how Procomm looks in 40 columns? 🙂 Nope, never really did any Amiga programming.…
#Newton & the Amiga
Message #189196
Take heart — now that your wife had her first experience with remote computing, she just might get the inclination to explore further! Sounds great on the LX software. I'll be glad to help test it when you're ready — I can give you an idea of my testing background…
Newton & the Amiga
Message #189195
Oh well — such is Life in the Big City. :/ — Tom
Oops — not Microsoft but Lotus. :/ — Tom
Neat! Sounds like your wife is really sharp. Definitely no small feat to work WordPerfect 6 *or* to use a modem the first time. Wow, that 24 hours "on" has gotta be miserable. Hope she's not the one driving if she has to stay awake most of that time! ::chuckle::…
Sorry — I don't really know what cc:Mail is, except that I think it's a Microsoft email tool for PCs. — Tom
CIS supports cc:Mail, so that's probably pretty handy. And even more handy that you & the wife can share files, etc.! — Tom
That's good that you're so perceptive with your Lady. 🙂 Good point on moving to HPHAND — but I doubt we'd get the boot. I see people ramble on about the craziest stuff here. — Tom
Thanks for the info, Richard — and yup, it's the 95LX I was referring to. No email support on the 95? What do you mean by email support? That's really the main reason I want it… Yup, just discovered HPhand, thanks to another Rick (Green). Does your lady like your…
Built in? Sounds good. 🙂 — Tom
Yeah, cellular support would be wild! Maybe one day I'll log on from my car. Heh! Meanwhile, I got a note from acCIS' author saying they have a 30-day money-back guarantee. So at least you aren't stuck if you decide you don't like the way it works, if it's somehow…
U.S. Robotics is definitely one of the majors. Also, there's a list (called ACELST.ANN) of PCMCIA stuff available from one company in the HPHAND library. Is that what you meant by a compatibility list? — Tom
#Newton & the Amiga
Message #187678
250 messages a day? Whew — well, I wouldn't read near half of the sections anyway. But it's a drag that there's no demo (seems to be called aCcis rather than aAcis). I'm not much for buying stuff sight unseen either. If it costs the same as AP maybe I…
It's funny, but right after I asked you what the XJACK connector was I saw one in a catalog. MicroWarehouse has a new datacomm catalog with PCMCIA modems in it. Talk about good timing! 🙂 That jack looks like it could be kinda flimsy — the modular plug (RJ11) just…
> The 95LX is an older model That's okay. It's not costing a penny. What's this X-jack you mention on your modem? I'm gonna be looking into a PCMCIA modem for my HP if I can find one at a decent price. 2400 bps is plenty fast for me at…
I just found out I'll be getting an HP 95LX, or 95something anyway. I'm coming in late on this thread — is there any decent stuff to talk to it with from the Amiga, or will I have to warm up the ol' Bridgeboard? 🙂 — Tom
Michael — Aive 1.7 will let you scroll using the standard AmigaDOS convention of holding the left Amiga key while you use the mouse to scroll. This key can be changed — I think via IPrefs. But you can also tell Aive to scale the pic to your existing screen.…
Wow! Down to two again — it's amazing how volatile this situation is. Thanks for the update. — Tom
You sound pretty sure that there're only two bidders. What about AmigaWorld's own hotline stating on October 5th that a German group has entered the bidding? — Tom
Thanks for the detailed info, Jim! It's much appreciated. 🙂 — Tom
#Apple II Emulator
Message #161925
Is this emulator emulator able to access the 5.25" drive that the Bridgeboard uses with the Amiga 2000? And I understand you have to have the Apple ][ ROM image to use this, is that correct? If so, how would one buy such a thing? Any ideas? — Tom
Thanks for the info, Steve — I knew the "v" meant version, but ran into a couple AmigaDOS 3 specific alert patches by mistake and just wanted to doublecheck. Much obliged…
#Alert.lha
Message #40052
Does anybody know by chance what OS version the new file ALERT.LHA requires? The full name is AlertPatch 3.0. I've downloaded a few like it and they all seem to require OS 3.0 or better. This one patches the system alert messages and gives you some options. — Tom
It's good to hear that you folks are working with Newtek. Two very creative companies indeed. 🙂 — Tom
> Scala page wipes that seem to give the Toaster > a bit of a problem Ah, gotcha. Sounds like a creative workaround. I wonder if Newtek's willing to look into it? Could save, oh, $1000 or so. Heh! A dance club sounds like an excellent idea — just get…
That sounds like an incredible vision of an Amiga SuperSystem. One minor detail: it's unnecessary to run video from an Amiga through a TBC unless you just needed the proc amp controls, and even then it's cheaper to buy just a proc amp rather than a full-blown TBC. Amiga video…
Thanks much for the rundown, Karl! I sure appreciate it. 🙂 — Tom
#MUI 2.0 update
Message #39566
Does anybody know what's different about the recent MUI update from the release that's generally available? With a file that big, if somebody would be willing to post the "what's new" section from the documentation, either here or in the library, it would be much appreciated. 🙂
Sounds neat! I'll be glad to help beta test it. 🙂
> Given that we happen to have source code to the CD command > […] it is possible to enhance it Neat idea. How about presenting a numbered list of the directories found via wildcard to stdout and looking to stdin for a number to be entered by the user?…
> Any idea when the release of ViewTek 2.0 will be available? Nope. But it'll be posted everywhere, never fear. Lotsa people are waiting on that li'l gem. 🙂 — Tom
Ah! Thanks much for the info, Larry. Sounds pretty neat. — Tom
ViewTek 2.0 that's making the rounds is actually a prerelease beta version that was never supposed to be distributed. The author's permitted it to remain available, but the GIF problem is well-known. An earlier version is your best bet for now if you can find one. — Tom

#Finger
Message #125459
S'anybody know what this utility does? I wouldn't want to give somebody the finger unless I knew what was going on. 😉 — Tom
Thanks for the follow-up on the MonEd software info. There's a version on GEnie that's listed as 1.0B (or something like that) which may be a later version than what's here. I'll post it here if I can get it to work. (Possibly a big IF. Heh!) — Tom
> on my machine (A2000, WB2.1, ALF-SCSI Controller, 4MB), the MonEd > 2 also hangs immidiately after starting. Hmm. What screenmode are you using to try it, Markus? If it doesn't do anything with 640×200 or 640×400, it may not be much help to me anyway, but your note's got…
