OO diagrams/PasTeX?
Message #185301
Does anyone know of a tool to do OO diagrams, or even just flowcharts? Is it possible to get PasTeX to do this? That would be a plus.
#Addr Stefan Boberg (LhA)
Message #183158
Does anyone know Stefan Boberg's address? He wrote the uncompresser LhA. I wrote to the address in the file LhA_e138.run, but got no answer. I am trying to send him some money for the updated version.
Thanks. I have (again) lost the address and phone number. Also, do they have the devloper package for sale (include files, autodocs)
#New OS good for A2000?
Message #182918
So, Is the new OS compatable with an Amiga 2000 with GVP 030? I can't seem to find a file in the libary that describes it. Are the C= include files available? I have lost my 2.1 Extras Disk. Do I need it for 3.x, or is it a full…
In the docs it says the compiler and programs set their own stack size. I have a A2000/GVP 030 50Mhz, 8 megs memory. 700 meg disk. I downloaded all of the files listed in your library (the 020 versions) , decompressed them according the the instructions in the readme file,…
#G++ gurus on first try
Message #45302
I downloaded the GNU c/c++ compiler (off the net – merlin.etsu.edu – didn't know you had it here) and unpacked it. I don't have the C= developer package, so I wrote a small hello world program in c and c++. In C++ I got GURU. Is there more stuff I…
#New OS for A2000?
Message #176985
Is the new OS version available for the Amiga 2000?
Chess Software
Message #118593
There is a GNUchess port floating around somewhere… I thought it was in the Chess Forum? Maybe not. Anyhow, it saves an ASCII file of a game that *might* be able to be modified (say, with an editor) to load one of those games. I have been meaning to write…
What's the number to use for, say, Boulder, Colorado?
SCSI-2 Support?
Message #64225
Do any of your controllers support SCSI-2?
#SuperBase Pro update
Message #62095
Mike, I believe you said that the new manuals are being reprinted? I am going to order my upgrade sometime this month and would like to know if they are going to be available. You also mentioned a 1.3e. When do you plan that? I wouldn't like to reorder a…
#SuperBase suggestions
Message #61408
Mike, you probably don't want to hear about more work, but I have a suggestion for SuperBase :-). In my version (SuperBase Pro 3.02 10 Mar 89), uninitialized fields behave differently than fields set to some default. But there seems to be no way to test to see if a…
Didn't I read that Compaq's profits tripled this quarter? What are they doing right?
What are some of the details listed on the upgrade notice, Wayne?
I got that too. I just did it by hand: copy SetPatch_37.38 C:SetPatch clone —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Thanks, I'll give it a try. It would be nice to have unlimited files though. —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Text reader blues …
Message #91528
I would like to find a text reader that has the following features: 1) Will handle multiple files. I don't want to write an Arexx script to call the thing more than once. I don't like the window opening and closing and I wan't to switch quickly back and forth.…
A Chip going out?
Message #86260
I have an odd problem with my display on my Amiga 2000. Whenever I drag my workbench screen (or any screen) halfway down the terminal the screen gets messed up. Its like the screen gets shifted a half width to the right and wraps around the other side. I have…
#Aztec C bye-bye …
Message #31591
A sysop (Jeff Davis) on the Manx BBS (+1 908 780 6363) stated in a message January 19 that the Aztec C product is frozen, and no further updates are planned. *Sigh*. Time to buy SAS, I guess. With no competition, what will happen to the Amiga compiler market? —–>…
Does it help to have an MMU to run Windows? Are there any boards for the Amiga that have an MMU? —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
What does it do that a cheaper PC drive doesn't do? Can I use a C= or a "standard" PC drive as a Mac drive? Since the Mac drive is variable speed, maybe some drives won't work. —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Do you know what is special about the high-density drives C= released? They go for about $200 at my local dealer, about $120 higher than some I've seen mail order. The difference seems kinda high for the standard mail order discount. —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Support for 2.88Meg 3.5?
Message #84847
Vortex has 3.5" floppies for sale, $79, with sizes of 2.88 & 1.44 Megs. Will the Amiga support either of these sizes? —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Mac->Amiga Fortran Swap
Message #84515
I would like to trade my copy of MacFortran Version 2.4 (the latest) Ansi Fortran 77 Compiler & Debugger for AC Fortran/20 on the Amiga. I am not sure of the relative cost difference, as I purchased my copy from my company for a large discount, so something might have…
In addition to that, it's common for the writers in auto magazines to be employed by auto companies on the side. Remember that when you see one of those magazines review a car … the writer may have worked for them! I do know that one magazine (other than Consumer…

What is CPUBlit? —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Well I called Manx and the number they gave me was the technical support number, after hours. That is, after 5pm EST call 1-908-780-5005 and you will get their BBS! I have posted a message, got no response yet (Its only been 1 day). They claim on the BBS their…
Ok, thanks everyone. I have found my old mountlist – VD0: works again. I was just wondering if the install was defective or not. Thanks! —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Manx/Aztec C Contacts?
Message #30900
Does anyone know Manx's CIS account number or their BBS number? Both of the number I have are not being answered. I sent mail to an old Manx number I had an no one has answered, and the BBS doesn't answer the phone. Or are they bye-bye? —–> Brian Simmons,…
#2.1 Mountlist empty?
Message #81862
Anyone know why the mountlist file in Devs: is empty under the new 2.1 OS? Am I missing something or has this been replace by some other system? —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Thanks. I saw that one, but it didn't have the library name in the description and I thought it was for reqtools.library. —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
#Where is req.library?
Message #30774
Where is req.library? I can't find it in our libraries. —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
#2.1,Khalid's FR & Whap!
Message #81135
When using Khalid Aldoseri's file requestor, Whap! bombs under 2.1. I was replacing the ARP file requestor. Anybody know if there is a fix? It is version 4.01, I just got it off the system a while ago. —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Type the following command "search #? mode_def" in the directory where the Metafont nput files are. You should find a text file with lines like "mode_def = imagen % blah blah…", and "mode_def = NEC % blah blah ..". Those "mode_def .. enddef;" define the parameters for an ouput device.…
Well, the graph is in the middle of a a document. Setting image to NEGATIVE would reverse the text too. Maple, plus the user library of routines, provides an enormous number of procedures for symbolic mathematical manipulation, although some are so esoteric that even I, with a B.S in math,…
Well I don't have Deluxe Paint, the Post program won't shift it from landscape to portrait and the MapleV program's plotsetup function doesn't allow me to choose that feature. Thanks for trying to help, though. —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
Maple/TeX iff file Pbms
Message #23444
Hello, I have a small problem I need help with: I have a graphics image I dumped from MapleV (a mathematics program) to an iff file I am trying to print it with AmigaTeX. The problem is the iff file has the colors of the screen! That is, it has…

Atalk III updgrade ?
Message #44816
What is the latest Version of Atalk III and how much is it to upgrade? I have version 1.2d, serial number 312405282. My address is: Brian Simmons 4725 S. Lowell Blvd. #44 Littleton, CO. 80123-1653 303/347-1792 Do you have me registered? —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado. – via Whap!
That may be the reason, there. I don't run very many big programs, and I don't know of any that try to shut down the workbench. I have 3 meg of memory, and I don't use it up that often. I don't use paint programs. I guess i've managed to…
Yea, it just died as soon as I hit return on the del. I haven't tried rename, yet. The partition is 40 Meg. Thanks for the help.
No, the delete flag is off. Thanks
Frankly, I've never had any trouble that I could fix by removing GOMF. I don't see the problem.
Just tried DIR opt I. No luck. Looks like I will have to reformat or something. I can reformat just one partition (DH1:) of a single hard drive, can't I? And no, the file has no spaces in the name. — Brian
Thank you for your reply. I have Disksalv – it just recovers files, not repairs them. I downloaded REPAIR.LZH but of all the errors it fixes it doesn't fix mine! Here is more detailed info: GOMF gives Alert 87000008, Dos Library, No General Error, Key Allready Free error. The error…
Hard disk problems …
Message #67543
Well, my hard drive is geting funny. An arc program bombed the machinge in the middle of its write. I got a disk not validated message, and something about a key. I reboot, no validation message but after a while the maching bombs in the dos library – key allready…
Well, the only two major bracing styles I can think of are Unix and K&R. You seem to dislike both. Perhaps you could share your bracing style with us? —–> Brian Simmons, Denver, Colorado.
High Speed Modem BUY???
Message #9391
What do you think of the recent modem review in PC magazine where the HST Dual Standard was unable to connect with anything? Or nothing was able to connect with it from the other side. They were testing high speed modems and were using the v42-type standards that the others…
#GRAMMA.ARC not found!
