SBase4Pro
Message #210216
To anyone who has had experience with Sbase 4 Pro, or equivalent: How does one construct a query to write a disk file of a limited number of records. For example, the database I am working with has over 28k records, but I want to print a disk file of,…
#Imagine & Retina?
Message #47798
Seems to be my week to seek answers to problems. Our SECOND ongoing problem is with Imagine 3.0 and a Retine Z2. The program does not work very reliably. In fact, it's a bit flaky. Not really useable. Impulses tech supports suggestions were, first, "…buy a 486 or Pentium", and…
IM & Retina?
Message #47797
I have an ongoing problem with IM/RT 1.6 and a Retine Z2 display card. IM 1.6 does not work with the card, yet 1.5 did. Blackbelt has taken the stand that IF things work out well for the Amiga, they may write a driver sometime around November. A tad late…
Art Expression?
Message #47796
Hello all. I am searching for a copy of SoftLogic's Art Expression. If anyone has one, "new" or used, that they wish to unload, or knows of somewhere I might obtain a copy, please Email me. I know that the program is old, and that SoftLogic will (eventually) come out…
#Art Expressions?
Message #47735
I am looking for an older program from Soft-Logic called Art Expressions. I have tried various locations garnered from (older) Amigaworld and Amazing mags withh no luck. I have heard about someone in PA who might have it along with a truckload of other out-of-print Amiga programs, but have not…
AdPro or IM/RT help
Message #187359
I need a bit of help with either AdPro or IM/RT. In preparing a catalog for a client, I am forced to use preprinted (read prescreened) greyscale images. They are no problem to scan as their quality is quite good. However, I need to eliminate or reduce the moire pattern…
#IDE HD?
Message #165943
Anyone have any opinions regarding Western Digital's 730 MB IDE HD (WD2700A) versus Conner's 810 MB IDE HD (CFS810A)? They are priced within $10 of each other. I have used Conner SCSI drives, and swear by them. An associate emphatically warned against Conner (IDE). He had a motor freeze on…
A4000 not printing
Message #42448
I have a tiny problem that arose on an A4000/30 this AM. It seems that I cannot print from the serial port from applications that use preferences, like SBase Pro, Ados/shell, and DirOpus… all of which I've printed from before. SBase just yesterday. However, applications that use their own drivers…
Parallel port problem
Message #41859
Your problem with output sounds extremely familiar. Is your printer an Epson, by any chance? It might not really matter. Check the PRINTER! After three months of screwing around with two different shops, buying and using some diagnostic hardware/software (which worked quite well, I might add), one bright soul at…
#Education via modem
Message #156460
Some time ago,it was possible to take courses at a high school/college level via computer. It this still possible? And if so, where might I find m more information? Thanks in advance for nay info. Frank Dlugoleski
#IM30 installation
Message #81971
Okay, I just received my copy of Imagine 3.0. Thank you much! However, I have several questions. One is supposed to start the program by double clicking on the icon… what icon? After installing it on our A4000 TWICE, still no program icon. Uh, where, exactly, is it? Additionally, the…
Banding
Message #145683
A good point, Jeff. We have been using Ppage since version 1.0 and are familiar with the postscript output options. However, nobody's perfect. I will check the output file and do it again if necessary. Thanks. Frank Dlugoleski
Simms
Message #145496
Yup, they're 1 meg x 3 simms… been running the 486 on them for nearly a year. With them in, the beast reads 4 mb. I'm really frosted that I can't use them. One of the hidden cost of a clone that everyone screaming about the price difference between them…
#Banding
Message #145047
I have a problem with linotronic postscript output of gradient fills. It is terribly banded. The gradient fill was created in TV paint, cycling from black to white with antialiasing on, saved as a 24 bit IFF, loaded into ADpro and resaved as an 8 bit IFF, imported into Propage…
Banding
Message #145043
Due to the fact that I believed the people who sold us a 486 a short time ago when they said that I could upgrade the beast from 4 to 20 megs of ram, I now have 4-1×3 simms sitting in a bag doing nothing. The good news is that…
#Sign Cutter
Message #140264
Does anyone know of a program for the Amiga to operate a gerber/other vinyl sign cutter? I know I saw a blurb recently on one… but can't find the reference and my memory's not too hot. Any info really appreciated. Thanks in advance. Frank
#C compiler
Message #40712
I need a little advice. I recently decided to learn C programming, and picked up a Sams book called Teach Yourself C In 21 Days (right…). What I need now is a good compiler… I plan on using CED from ASDG for the editor. PD or commercial… whatever anyone feels…
#Copiers
Message #40108
I am looking for a parametric copy program for the Amiga. Before anyone goes completely off their nut, I am NOT pirating software. I AM in my own business (10+ years) and have mostly Amigas…since they came out. I also own MicroSystem Int'l Rawcopy. I have used it to eliminated…
#KFS Software
Message #136400
Does anyone have any information on KFS Software or an accounting program they wrote/marketed call The Accountant? I'm still trying to find these folks…and The Accountant. Thanks in advance.
Color DTP
Message #136398
Thanks for your reply, John. Outputting as spot color onto its own black negative is exactly what we have been doing. I guess what I want is true WYSIWYG DTP…in color, spot or process. Come to think of it, it also means defining the color used to colorize the 256…
Color DTP
Message #136396
Thanks for your reply, Matt. That is what I have found. However, will the image color separate as BLUE, or will it have to be 4-color process from within a DTP? I guess I'll just have to take the time to try this. What I'm looking for is to display…
#ColorDTP?
Message #135680
First, the situation. We have several brochure designs that use a 256 grey scale photo as a background. As such, it has been processed through ADPro to be very, very light. Furthermore, it is to be printed in a color other than black. To this end, is has been colorized…
#The Accountant
Message #132562
I must have been asleep for the past several months. There was a program called The Accountant V2.0, by KFS or something. Anyway, I can't seem to find any info on this program. And the last number for the publisher is "no longer in service". Can anyone shed some light…
#POSTVIEW
Message #117070
I need to use the postscript viewer downloaded from this section (Postvi.lha), but can't because it requires the post.library from PostV1.7.lha… which isn't available (here). Anyone know where the darned thing IS available? I can't track it down. Any info appreciated. Thanks in advance.
#CD Writes
Message #30169
I am looking for information on a unit to write compact disks, not just read them. Is such a unit available? Can it/they be controlled vis computer? Are software drivers available? I am interested in doing single frame animations, and understand these units do away with single frame controllers and…

Disfont.library version
Message #92578
I am a bit confused. The docs for Autopilot state that you must be running 2.04 or later, and further that the diskfont.library version must be 37 or higher. I have two sets of 2.04 disks and I can't find a version of diskfont.library any higher than, or other than,…
Floppy drive #
Message #29213
I cannot seem to change one particular internal floppy drive from df1: to df0:. This is nothing new for me…I've done it to other drives. This particular drive is a Matsushitu (Panasonic) model JU-363-282. It has two rows of 9 pins each on the bottom of the drive. Jumpers seem…
XCAD-PRO
Message #20137
You can get XCAD PRO through GRAFX COMPUTING. Juan Wilson markets this program under under his own label and packaged with his excellent XSHELL 3.0 as GFX-CAD. You can call Juan at (716) 782-2468 for more info. I believe it is available from some mail order houses. I would strongly…
Tadpro additions
Message #34808
No. What I require is a conversion of HPGL files to our drawing format. Also, the ability to create an EPSF of LINES (ala a CAD drawing) not an EPSF of a bitma EPSF of a bitmap of same. We can already output IFF from XCADpro. This is not satisfactory.…
ADDITIONS FOR TADpro?
Message #34742
We, (read I) need a program with the capabilities of HiJack on the Amiga. TADpro is the obvious candidate. Specifically, what is required is a simple, bulletproof HPGL to CAD drawing conversion utility (ours is XCADpro); a CAD drawing file to EPSF utility (again, XCADpro would be nice). Okay, I'll…
#GVP 50mHz '030
Message #7962
Does anyone know if there are any problems with GVP's 50mHz '030 board? The set-up it will be going into is an A2000 with a Hardframe/100mg Conner drive. I'm concerned that it won't be very stable…but I'm also intrigued by the raw speed of the unit. Any feedback would be…
#Adobe…friend or foe?
Message #74646
If you are serious about professional desktop publishing on the Amiga you are probably asking yourself why Adobe Systems has adopted a not-on-your-life attitude toward support of the Amiga. I suggest a strongly worded message be left on the Adobe section here on Compuserve. Make your feelings and wishes clear.…
