Commodore T-Shirt
Message #154797
If anyone's interested in a "Commodore Memorial" t-shirt, please e-mail me. (Don't confuse this with the "Death-Bed Vigil" t-shirt, which is completely different.) To see what this one looks like, download file ONLYAM.LHA in AmigaArts Lib 8. I'm having some silkscreened for my local user group and to keep the…

Chris, sorry I'm just getting back to you, but I just read your message. The adapter and the Digiview Gold I had sold promptly, so I no longer have them. I had the same problem you have when I bought an A2000 as soon as they came out. I called…
Aladdin 4D
Message #45826
John, thanks! I will definitely call them and ask them about it, and I'll also follow up with a letter to them. -Joel
Aladdin 4D
Message #45766
John, any chance that someday InterChange Plus will support Aladdin 4D (Adspec Programming's new name for Draw4D-Pro 2.0)? -Joel
#Sharp JX-320 Scanner
Message #34650
Does this mean that your GPIB interface is REQUIRED in order to use the 320? There will be no JX-320 module for AdPro? I probably would not get the Sharp if it required the GPIB, I'd probably go with the Epson. -Joel
Sharp 320 Scanner
Message #34172
Perry (or anyone else), do you have a Sharp 320 scanner yet? I've seen ads for them and read short descriptions so I assume they are available? I'm very interested in a detailed comparison with the Epson 300, since I had already decided to buy the Epson, but now I've…
Software For Sale
Message #46974
USED SOFTWARE FOR SALE All items include original disks & manuals, most include original box. Price includes Parcel Post shipping 5 days AFTER I deposit your check. If you want it shipped 1st Class, C.O.D., or UPS, you'll have to pay for that. I have no idea whether any of…
Caligari 2
Message #15221
Does anyone have Caligari 2 yet? I'm very interested in how it compares to Imagine 2.0. I've read descriptions of the features and seen the ads, but I'd be interested in a first-person account of how it compares to Imagine…. Joel
Bruce, I have to ask, have you actually done this? I mean buffered the source disk in ram, then used all your available drives for the copies? If so, I'll order Project D tomorrow. Lack of memory isn't the problem since I have 10 megs in my 3000. All 4…
Diskcopies on A3000
Message #30906
Has anyone been able to make multiple disk copies on a 3000? I mean where the source disk is buffered in ram, and copied out to DF0: (and DF1: and DF2:). I've tried Marauder, TurboBackup, SuperDuper, and DFC5, and none of them will work. Making a simple diskcopy is no…
#Color List
Message #17708
John, a few questions on the list of colors you recently posted. I think it's a good idea to have a "standard" set of defined colors. I was wondering how you decided on those specific colors (other than the crayons)? There's some set of colors I vaguely remember reading about…
Wayne, I already gave all the ShoWiz comments posted here (and in AmigaTech) to Jeff. (I talk to him pretty often either in person, by phone, or modem; he's the Prez of our local user group.) Ray Lewis says it works fine on his '020 Amiga. But do send him…
Ethan, I know what you're talking about with HAM pics, but as far as I know, there's no way on the Amiga to smoothly fade out one HAM pic into another, _unless_ they have the same palette. This problem comes up when using the Director too. You get really weird…
#New Packer.zoo File
Message #49914
I just uploaded a new version of Power Packer that now works correctly on NTSC screens. Not sure if I did it right though; I deleted the earlier one first, then uploaded the new one and it told me "File exists, overwrite it?". So the one you see listed for…
Mike, are you sure everything is set up on disk like it's supposed to be? The files for the Fist anim MUST be in a directory called FIST2.ani. You should have 15 files in that directory, one of them is the script file, and the other 14 are ANIM.1, ANIM.2,…
Phil, have you tried Grabbit? If the game runs from Workbench (allows you to boot up Workbench first), you should be able to grab a screen with Grabbit. Or, I believe there are several PD utilities similar to Grabbit. -Joel
Roy, I haven't received my Photon Paint 2 update either, but I already have my cancelled check which was cashed on April 5th. -Joel
Wayne, ShoWiz2 is here already in AmigaArts as SHOWIZ.ARC, I uploaded it last Monday. I wouldn't get rid of SuperView just yet; it handles 2 kinds of pictures that ShoWiz can't – pictures that are supposed to color cycle, and pictures that are bigger than your screen. Jeff White (author…

#Showiz DL problems
Message #17021
Karl, maybe you just got a bad download? (I uploaded it.) No one else seems to have had any problem unarcing ShoWiz. ShoWiz should be great for whatever demo you're setting up. Here's a tip not included in the docs: The only suggestion Jeff didn't have time to put in…
Steve, but the new 'Junior' version of SA4D doesn't do real ray-tracing, or at least that's what I read. Its release doesn't surprise me too much. There's an ever-growing A500 market out there that would never pay $400-$500 for ANY program, no matter how great. Also, I note that in…

#GVP HC
Message #44362
Jon, I too dislike having to put a disk in a drive to make it shutup, but there is a bug in trackdisk.device that might in some cases cause problems (a rare 'unexplainable' guru?) when a drive is left empty. This bug will be fixed in 1.4, or so says…
IVS TrumpCard
Message #41435
I'm interested in the IVS TrumpCard… does anyone here actually have one yet, or perhaps someone in your user group? I've read one comment on Usenet (very favorable), but I'd like to know if there are any UNfavorable comments about it. At its price, and IF IVS's ads are true,…
Jim, you really should confirm a rumor like this before posting a message on it. What kind of proof do you have that there's a virus or trojan horse in "Doc"? "Doc" is widely available, and I've heard no reports of problems with it. I have it, I've run it…
CRUNCH (MASTER CRUNCHER)
Message #16334
A few weeks ago I posted a copy of a message alledgedly from someone named "Hans Mayor" in Germany claiming that "Crunch", or "Master Cruncher" was a pirated commercial program. To make a long story short, the authenticity of that message, in my mind, is now in doubt. I wrote…
Stan, the letter that came with the Silver 1.1 upgrade some time ago said future upgrades would probably be $25 or so. Have you changed your policy? (Personally, I don't mind at all paying a reasonable amount for upgrades that add features, but I'm probably in the minority :-). )…

#Lens Tip
Message #105662
Mike, in addition to using a lens from a 35mm camera, NewTec says they Digi-View slides on a light-table (4×5 slides mostly, some 2×2) to get the great pics in their demos. Has anyone else been doing this? I've just started experimenting, and I think the quality from slides will…

REVISION 4.1
Message #99932
Could someone tell me the exact difference between an A2000 motherboard revision of 4.1 and one with a revision # of 4.2? Thanks! Joel
#Hardware Problem
Message #92157
My A1000 just developed a problem I'm hoping someone could tell me the cause of. It won't read a disk past track 77, sometimes 78. That means if there's data on tracks 77, 78, or 79, the program won't run, I can't copy that file, etc. (I can see where…
John, I'm pretty sure the CIS library would have both of them (Zap2Icon and IconType), but I have no idea what file number. I know they are both also on the Fred Fish disks, but don't know which one. Wait, hold it…I just checked the CIS "Best of Amiga" booklet,…
John, you can make an icon with Deluxe Paint (make sure you're in 640 x 200 mode), use only four colors (whatever color your Workbench is would be best so you'll know how it's going to look), save it as a brush, then use the program "Zap2Icon" to change the…

SHOWANIM
Message #85507
Thanks for your prompt reply….I wasn't aware there was a ShowANIM 4.0 already. Since almost all of these short little demos are run with the -c argument, I really think it would be helpful to have a version with that as the default. Or, is it possible for you to…
