Neriki SVHS Genlock $250
Message #125397
For sale: Neriki Y-C desktop (rackmount) genlock, as new in original box. $250 plus $10 U.S. postage. Please reply via email. —Mike
Wayne, I've got the pluge in the SMPTE bars. If you specify SETUP (the default), then I don't display the blacker-than-black part of the pluge (or rather it is just black), because if the genlock (or Toaster) automatically adds setup, then of course I can't get blacker-than-black. If you specify…

I was wondering if you received the two files I uploaded last Friday; VTOT.LHA and VIDEO.TXT? —Mike

Sam, Try using Preferences to center the screen (center the gadget, even if it appears off-center on the monitor). —Mike
Not yet. 8) —Mike
Marc, Land of Legends is RSN. I used to play D&D at CalTech when the game first got started, so I am as anxious as you for LoL. I have seen the graphics, and it looks nice. Much more important (to me anyway) is how well it plays. I am…
FIREPOWER, and some of the other modem-playable games are indeed being upgraded. The upgrade policy and procedure has not yet been determined. Microillusions has no plans at this time for a sequel to FIREPOWER. —Mike
Nick, I will check on that Monday and let you know. —Mike
Thomas, I will see if I can get the specs on making your own questions. —Mike
Thomas, I thought that the betting limits were imposed by the State of Nevada, i.e. RCe $50K limit on Keno. —Mike
Marlene, That's why they call it "gambling". 8) —Mike
Henry, Only in your mind. I am now suggesting the programmers create demos; in six or seven months we will see if they listen to our suggestion. —Mike

I uploaded this useless screen hack into DL11 for lack of a better place (I didn't see a category for "where the sun don't shine"). —Mike
Lee, The reason I put it off (for a few days, I did last night), is because CIS hasn't issued me my Vendor's PPN. It's not so much the cost as that I wanted to start the threads with the official PPN. It pisses me off the CIS would announce…
Rick, OK, OK, I'll take a look at Whap. Do you get a commission? 8) —MIke
Marlene, I don't remember where I read it, but it involved changing the betting depending on the result of each roll. I didn't pay much attention: I'm a poker person myself. The real question is if a person comes up with a great betting strategy, why publish it? 8) —Mike
Jay, rest assured that Microillusions is not pleased that we advertised a product a year before it ships. We realize that it is costing us money and some customer goodwill (which translates into money). To say that it is due to circumstances beyond our control would be stating the obvious.…
Henry, The package for Tracers is not exactly a prkotional masterpiece. 8) The game itself looks pretty good: I played it a bit, but I'm not into arcade type games myself. —Mike
Marcus, Thank your for your nice comments! I too am hooked on the game, but I can't seem to master the art of attacking opponents (in other words, I get killed a lot!). I will pass your message on to the programmer. —Mike
Craps Academy is shipping; I saw it at a local dealer's today. I read once of a system that actually gives you a 100% payback, but it was very complicated. —Mike
Thomas, A clever hacker should be able to create his own questions. The questions are standard ASCII text, with just a few embedded control characters (so I am told). There are no plans for a Discovery Toolbox at the present time, but I have passed along your suggestion to the…
Rick, I'm sure it will all work out for the best. BTW, I *enjoy* telecommunicating, and wouldn't even consider automating the process. 8) —Mike
#Hello
Message #113
Hello to all you artists! I am a programmer that is always interested in hearing what the artist wants to see the Amiga doing. It is somewhat unfortunate that the tech and arts are separate, but I will be checking in here often to see what's up. —Mike
Thomas, I will pass your request along to the Education Software manager, and get back to you. —Mike
Henry, I agree! I always create demos of my programs; it's free advertising. I have recommended it to all of the programmers. There is a downside for application programs. You end up with old versions floating around, and people don't realize that the product has since (hopefully) improved. —Mike

DPrint II Upgrade
Message #133888
Henry, I doubt they are waiting for 1.3, unless there is a 1.3 function that they absolutely need. It's expensive to delay a product. —Mike
Phooey. How about making that optional? I'd like to use Access for testing my serial port control programs. —Mike
Keith, Does Access! mask out the hi bit? e.g. will it accept and try to display $81, $82, $83? —Mike
Bill, Music-X will have an 'open environment'. Other applications will be able to interact with it, transfer data to and from Music-X, and transmit and receive midi events. I don't know much about Music-X (yet, my dept being Video & Graphics), but I will post more information as it becomes…
#AddInt()
Message #132553
I am running into trouble when I add a VERTB interrupt, remove it, and then add it again, using the same server routine. Anyone else try this within a single task? Thanx! —Mike

#MyWindow on YourScreen
Message #132506
Keith, Let me know if you find the notes about the SetFunc at DevCon. Vic mentioned that he was there, and that they decided it wasn't feasible to do it safely. BTW, I showed some artists using Photon Paint the Lens, and they actually thought it was useful. Unlike the…

cheath, Since one could SetFunc the library anyway, why the worry? If someone wanted to be nasty, they could still supply their own library. My beef is that for any particular application, there are always faster and smaller ways of doing something than what is in a general purpose library.…

Vic, The scenario is simple: I redirect func AAA to my code XXX, and then jump to AAA. Someone else redirects XXX to YYY, which then jumps to XXX, which then jumps to AAA. Now I exit. XXX is gone! Boom. One solution is to prevent me from exiting if…

Cheath, As long as the source for that library is available, I'm all for it! —Mike

Cheath, The only way to guarantee it would be to insist that everyone do it. It's just like the resource library; one is 'supposed' to use it, but even CBM doesn't (in some cases). —Mike
