Is the error you're getting something like "Arithmetic Mismatch Error"? If so, I believe that the problem is that the stem variables are not initialized to be numeric, e.g., time. = 0. Therefore when you attempt to perform: time.host = time.host + thistime The interpreter tries to add thistime (which…
Bill, sorry about the delay in getting my reply to you. Ahhhh, well… hmmmm….. I think it was *my* stupid idea to include rexxsyslib in the ARexx libraries. I think I just looked at the list of libraries in LIBS: with the string "rexx" in their name and included them.…
I think I figured it out. I was loading the libraries I usually use in a Rexx script (using the ADDLIB function)… *including* rexxsyslib.library! I saw your message to someone else about rexxsyslib being the interpreter, and I started thinking (a dangerous passtime, I assure you 🙂 I then removed…
#Arexx problem
Message #32719
This has me baffled. Some of the library routines calls from ARexx don't seem to be working on my machine. In fact they're causing system crashes! Something as simple as: 9.> rx "say showdir('ram:')" ;from rexxsupport.library or 9.> rx "say getenv(username)" ;from rexxarplib.library Results in a software failure. Sometimes, before…
> Get an AGA machine… Nah, got *way* too much stuff installed in my A3000, much of which I'd have to abandon. Memory, SCSI devices… The lack of SCSI on the A4000 (and the lack on a hardware de-interlacer) *really* annoyed me! I've got four SCSI devices on my A3000,…

#Final Copy II Problem
Message #51873
Well, well, well… It appears that cpublit (!) is the culprit. I went ahead a renamed the WBStartup directory as you suggested (Neat idea, that!) and I also commented out all of the "unusual" stuff I start in my User-Startup (This included QMouse, cpublit, upd and resethandler). FCII then printed…
Karl, If you make it to the February AmiCON meeting, could you bring this issue? I'd like to see it. Later, Bill
Hmmm… Well, it has worked for me. But then again I must admit that I haven't really exercised it much either. One thing that has happened is since I've upgraded to WB 2.1, the PCC: device icon now shows up on my Workbench. I don't remember that happening under 2.04.…
#CrossPC
Message #84327
"I'd like to see HD access to a file instead of a partition" Ahhh, I'm doing that right now using Matt Dillon's FMS. Set up a 5Mb file as my Cross-PC IBM-HD partition. Can't claim credit for the idea, tho. I saw it on Usenet. Later, Bill
Hi Karl! Computer Success had, as of Friday, three of the Supra v.32bis modems on the shelf. Amiga package too, I believe(w/ Fax SW). Later, Bill P.S. Did you go to the AirShow? We planned to go Saturday and we nearly froze our rears off! Low ceiling, too. Last year…
Final Copy sounds great, to whom do I send my $4.00? Do I need to mark the envelope somehow? Will you be sending out notices to registered users? Questions, questions, questions! 🙂 Later, Bill – via Whap!
Just a comment… "It sounds like it will be only a few more weeks before the Supra and the Zoom are out on the market" The Zoom V.32turbo modem has been available for some time now, since I had mine in early December. 🙂 Last I looked(a while ago), Direct…
Comments? Arrrrggggghhhh! I *really* enjoyed reading this magazine, almost as much as the late, much lamented Transactor for the Amiga. I don't program the Amiga for a living, or even develop for it, but I *love* digging around in the OS, etc. and AWTJ was a perfect source of information…
OK, sounds like a plan to me! Oh course, I bought FC just before I left on Christmas vacation, and I haven't sent the registration in yet… *sigh* I guess it goes in the mail tomorrow! BTW, I found that if I delete the blank line following the salutation, the…
#Final Copy Problem
Message #32422
Help! 🙂 I've run into a strange problem with Final Copy (v 1.1). I have a letter which I've been editing. It printed out fine last night, but today after a few edits my system crashes! My equipment: A3000/25 — 50 Mb Quantum & 70 Mb Rodime — external floppy…
Bob, this is the same modem I bought recently from Direct Micro… I am *very* happy with it. It is a v.32/v.42/v.42bis modem and it implements the 12000 bps fall-back mode of v.32bis! This means that if you use this modem to connect to a v.32bis compliant modem the data…
Tim, you've got the standards close but not *quite* right, if memory serves… v.22 1200 bps v.22bis 2400 bps v.42 — not related to speed, LAP-M error correction v.42bis — not related to speed, data compression v.32 9600 bps v.32bis 14400bps (all of the above speeds are full-duplex) Some others…
Thanks, Don I'll give MaxTransfer a try(what are typical values?). BTW, IVS (Maker of the TrumpCard) says that I can set some flags in the mountlist to force the scsi.device to use handshaking, but I haven't been able to get this to work on my FFS partition yet. The flags…
HD/020 Compat. Problems
Message #638
Hi, I've got a strange compatibility problem. For the past 18 months I've been happly using A2000 w/45 Mb HD. Last night, however, I installed a used A2620 into my heretofore happy Amiga, and now, if I try to boot into the 68020 it says my boot partition has a…
Karl, I told you it wasn't as good as I remembered, didn't I? Or did I? *sigh* 🙂 Yep, tempo changes can make the piece, but isn't that one of the things you do in the score set-up window? Which brings us back to my ( now our, unfortunately )…
Hi Karl! Considering that the sigfile is the one that always seems to have a "R/W Error", it does appear that you still have the CP'ed version. Put the wrong one on your HD? 😉 BTW, did you get the binary file I E-plexed to you? Later, Bill
David, Yep, I think I tried that… but hey… since I don't remember the results so I'll give it another try. I think it tried to load the program from the floppy, but I'm not sure. BTW, I'd like to thank you from your help, and ask if you can…
Thanks for the help David, I got most of the files (read: the important ones!) back by using a combination of DiskX and DiskSalv. After moving the splash file into a dmcs:c directory I do indeed have a title screen (for about .75 sec! Aren't HDs wonderful?). However, the score…
Ok, thanks Rick, David. I'll try what David has suggested and see if it works for me. The DMCS fonts and commands in a sub-directory of DMCS: and NOT in FONTS: and C:, never would have thought of that! 😉 I'll leave a more coherent message later, I'm trying not…
#DMCS Problems
Message #22843
Hi Rick, I've noticed one a couple of other occasions that you seem to be know DMCS fairly well. Well, I've got a couple of problems that I can't seem to figure out. First: About six months ago I upgraded to a hard drive. After I moved (a Marauder'ed) DMCS…
