I realize what IM can do. I use it all the time. As far as the EGS support…. I'll be waiting and looking forward to it. I can't imagine any problems with the spectrum unless the libraries are bypassed. Dale
Ben, I know there are several display cards, but supporting EGS would wipe out half of them. I don't blame you for not retargeting to something like the IV-24 but the EGS cards are a must if IM is to survive! ImageFX-EGS is now shipping and you'll loose your edge…
Ben, go buy the Spectrum card!!! You have many customers with EGS cards that are getting upset. The fact that GVP didn't send you one free is no excuse for not supporting it, I'm sorry. Get on the band wagen while you still can. This is important!!! BTW The EGS…
Thanks Wayne, I kinda figured that since I couldn't find the 040 library anywhere. I hope GVP will help me out on this since the 040 and Spectrum cards are their products. I really would like to use GigaMem! Dale
I don't know why YOUR EGS software balks with the version 37.10 040 library. (Please don't insult my system, it likes it just fine.) Maybe the very old EGS software I have is the problem. I always buy right away when a new product comes out and usually pay dearly…
Ok, If I can find the 68040.library version 37.30! I've already looked everywhere I could think of (including GVP's BBS) and have not found it, or any other version of the library. Where is one supposed to get an item like this? Thanks, Dale
Spectrum Problem
Message #76344
Just a little problem. I purchased GigaMem over the weekend. It's install updated my 68040.library to version 37.10. Should be no problem with that, but when I rebooted the machine after the install I found that the Spectrum workbench emulation would no longer work. Replacing the old 68040.library (verson 37.2)…
Chris, The scanner problem is REAL and has been reported many times by myself and others. You really must come to realize that so many people can not be wrong. If you issue the command: CPU cache copyback Before running ADPro I gaurantee the problem will occur for you also.…
Take it easy Ron. I didn't leave the msg to someone else for the purpose of making you angry. It just happened that way. 1st, I'm a proud owner of a 2090. I think it's the best around. Same way you feel about the C-LTD controller that you own. 2nd,…
At longword offset 9 in the IFF file, they are leaving the screen size set to the non-overscan values. (320/400, 320/200 etc) Some programs may not mind this, but SuperView seems too. I have no idea what that location is for. I don't have the IFF spec. I found it…
You really must find her soon! (Mrs. Syndesis that is) I'm only 36, (about 10 years older than you, I believe) and all the women I meet are divorcees that have become so liberated they believe women are very much superior to men!. You really must hurry!! 😉

#DigiView 3.0
Message #5647
I've found a problem. Digi-View 3.0 is not setting up the screen size properly. (in overscan only) I wrote a up a quick program today that patches the IFF files. I'll upload it tomorrow. Not sure if your problem with quickflix is the same as the one that bit me,…

Help
Message #13480
Edouard, Terror.arc is a scenario file for Breach. If you don't own breach it is of no use to you. (It's not a game in itself) .sce stands for scenario. If you are interested in games try downloading GWORM.ARC or BRICK.ARC. They are both fun games and easy to unarc.…

Jim, Thanks, I'll tell him about the Slipped Disk in Lansing. Yes, he did grow up there. At least from age 12 or 13. I was long gone and in the Army then, and don't even know what school district they lived in, but the house was somewhere between Midland…
Dan, Well, I do sometimes lose power for more than a second. But rarely. During thunderstorms I have lost it for hours at a time. 🙂 Dale
Betty, That's one of the advantages I've found with the C-Mount adaptor on the Pan. camera with DigiView. I'm using a Cannon 50mm lens w/C-mount adaptor. I can focus on a object half an inch from the lens. You can blow-up a pin head to full screen, and still have…
Odell, The best thing to do is first back-up the drive. Then run diskdoctor on it. Diskdoctor will list every file on your drive as unreadable. Ignore those messages. It will then ask you if you want to delete bad files in ????? directory. Answer NO to all of those.…
Herny, Just for the record I agree with Keith. Too me 4 directories on screen is primitive. I value my screen space. I also want as many files as possible for each directory I'm viewing on screen. Two is great. Three,Four,Eight, ick! your going down hill! Dale
Palmer, Don't know much about QuarterBack but if your looking for a backup program, take a look at safTnet also. safTnet does work with the 1.3 FFS and it's author (Bob Rakosky) is a daily visitor of this forum. Which means help is only as far away as your modem.…
Lloyd, I have a Supra 20meg Mac type external drive plugged into the 2090 and a CBM internal 20meg. Diskperf results are identical for both drives. (both are MiniScribe 8425s's) I have run the external by itself also. It works fine. I sometimes take the external with me when going…
Come on Ben! You have 1.3. The problems with the ram handler were fixed back around Feb/Mar in GAMMA 4. Now! If your griping about the fact that 1.3 is vapor, I understand and agree with that! 🙂 Dale
Dean, What's ya doin these days. I know you must have something on the burner. Jan's getting worried. Send me some EMail or give me a call. Dale

IBM, editors and stuff
Message #134106
Don, I wholeheartedly agree with what you have said. I started out with a TRS-80 model-I back around '78/79. Although I took the computer seriously, and wrote most of my own software, most people I knew were playing games. (almost nothing else was available) I eventually upgraded to a MS-Dos…

Ben, I showed CoComm to Harry today. His first response was.. "I don't need all those buttons. I can type the commands in faster." But, after showing him around for a while, he admitted he liked it. (He spent half an hour sending CQ's with the Happy-faces in the syms…
Griffith, I haven't had any problems with the new driver. I'm using SCSI drives thou. There is a possibility that you have found a bug that affects your particular setup. (ie. ST-506 or some drive incompatibility) I had a problem with the old hddisk. The problem only occurred when using…

#amiga hard drives
Message #132613
Steve, I had a problem with prep accessing the wrong drive. Notified Andy of this about 2 months ago. The new hddisk fixed the problem. Also if you look at the new driver with NewZap you will notice a reference to a RomBoot.device. The upcoming hd boot capability is probably…

#Amiga / Packet Radio
Message #132612
Ben, Just downloaded CoComm & KanTNC.arc. They look very good but don't think it will satisfy Harry. His HP term reads the system clock and updates the tnc automatically. Unless I'm missing something, I don't think CoComm can do that. Again, as far I'm conserned CoComm is great, but to…

Amiga / Packet Radio
Message #131958
Ben, Is CoComm with it's macro capability able to set the time/date on the packet board. I have a friend who refuses to use his Amiga on packet because he can't find a program that does this. He is the stubborn type. (I'm sure you could understand him, I can't.…

Ben, Well, in my case that would be 32k/plane because I run interlace. Still may be ok thou. I usually have about 400k of chip with the cli open and no other windows. I could always shrink my floppy buffers. (seldom use the darn things anyway.) "80×24 – that's another…

Don, Your right, of course, about typing in "Preferences". I could do it faster that way also. But for many other things the mouse is faster. Most of the programs I have remotes for are nested 2 or 3 dir's deep and I type "three forward two back" most of…

Ben, Thanks for the info on ARexx. I'm sure Michigan Software will be able to get it for me. I know they deal with Southern Technologies. Ralph's very legit. 🙂 Dale
Yes. AREXX does sound good and I plan on purchasing it soon. Hope my dealer will be able to order it. If it's available thru distributors there should be no problem, not sure if they will order it directly from the author thou. Remote icons are a great help and…

Don, Not sure you understood what I was trying to say. I'm talking about WB shortcuts, not improvements as the subject header states. I don't remove the existing icons, just clone them as project icons. Nothing changes with the exception of a added drawer called remotes. In that drawer are…

Go for it! I don't mind losing a little chip ram for the refresh feature. Remember that 1.3 is RSN (I hope) and it comes with the NewCon: device, if that matters. (Probably not if newcli is the same.) Dale

Ben, A remote icon is a project icon which has it's default tool pointing to a tool of the same name. To make one: Just make a copy of any tool's .info file and using itype change it's type to project. To make WB happy make up a 1 byte…

Right! The "along the top icons" are really only useful for hard disk icons. As far as using the workbench as a place to store tool icons.(ick) Try a drawer full of remote icons. Pop the remote window to the front and click away! Again no need to resize the…

Bob, I played with the problems some more and found another unreadable file on DH0: which is what really caused problem 2. I still don't quite understand why Saf-T-Net can't just skip a bad file and go on to the next. Problem 1, where I canceled the "read/write" requester. The…

Saf-T-Net
Message #128934
Bob, I just purchased Saf-T-Net and although it's the best back-up program I've seen yet, I have run into a couple of problems. 1) I had an unreadable file on dh1. When Saf-T-Net ran into it while backing up I got the "read/write error" system requester. I selected cancel, then…
