=>We really believe there will be a revival of the machine. Selling point would be to point out that the Amy OS does everything that Win95 wants to do and has had 8 years of experience to iron out the wrinkles. Get a number of major distributors behind it and…
=>Now if I could only figure out how to get that "weather" script to work, =>but thats a another topic altogether! By script I assume you mean an Arexx script? To utilize any Arexx script you have to activate the RexxMast program. You will find it in your WB:System drawer.…
Todd, PMFJI =>Do you know if I'll need to make any assigns when I install this datatype? No, as this is handled automatically by the system Startup-Sequence at boot. Anything in the DEVS: drawer is assigned (Monitor, Datatypes, DOSDrivers, etc). When you add something new, to activate it you can…
Amazing Windows 4.0
Message #46785
And who elected you king? I suggest you go back and reread the original post. It was a parody and was stated as such in that post. Even reading it you can see it is a parody. If you do not understand what a parody is, I would suggest that…
Hilary, As to running the Encarta95 disk, no.. unless you have an emulator tucked away in your 4000 (and running Windows of course on your 4000). You will be able to read graphics (GIFs, IFFs, PCXs, BMPs etc), text, play some of the songs (WAVs and MODs). With the proper…
Other platforms have thier uses. I got myself a clone for the express purpose of opening up the available software market (ie games!). I use it _only_ for that purpose at this time. To do actual work I use my Amiga because I am more comfortable about operating on the…
Looking forward to it. I bought one for about $20 CAN so depending on the exchange rate it's at a reasonable price. About the only thing you are going to next is a terminal host emulator if you go the null modem route. I have a good one (freeware) that…
Dominic, No, it has not been trashed. There are uudecoders for IBM platforms as well as LHA format decompressors. If the original download has not been altered (and I suspect it has not) then it's just a simple case of getting the proper decompressor programs and letting them do thier…
Lou, Your situation is exactly like mine. I too picked up a PC and hated the CIM (or for that matter any of the term programs) that were offered for the PC. Now all I do is access any of the forums I want with AP and download to the…
Dominic, Going the IBM to Amiga route there are none. This is not the case going the other way. Either way, there should be some uudecoders for the IBM world. I personally do not know of any (I do all my decoding on my Amiga and use a null modem…
John, I think it may have more to do with Mr. Close being a parent and restricting the access to this forum than a political statement. Benefit of the doubt before accusation. Trent "Tracers work both ways"
Dominic, Uuencoding is the process how Internet programs are transfered. It's unique to ASCII based systems. Has something to do with the inability of the Internet to transfer binary code (at least I think that's the reason). To uudecode a file off the Internet you will of course need a…
Dominic, Sounds like the file in question was uuencoded. That is, the .LHA was uuencoded so that it could be transfered via Internet. You can try uunencoding it, then decompressing the .LHA that will result. Trent "Tracers work both ways"
OK, there is your problem. You should have more than enough RAM to hold files that you download and decompress them into RAM. Now the command that you need to decompress LHA files (from your example): in SHELL with the prompt changed to RAM: type – lha x A1200tips.lha -…
Monty, What you may want to try is to change your download path within Termite to your RAM: partition. This will allow you less problems with communication times (it is faster to download to RAM: than to a harddrive). The problem with this is if you do not have to…
You need to look around a little more then. The three countries who contribute the most have been France, Britain and Canada. The US have contributed some forces over the years, but soon pulled out due to public pressure (the latest being Somalia – Lebanon was a little rough tho).…
Willie, Within the serial settings in your Workbench drawer, ensure that RTS/CTS is set. This is your most reliable setting. Ensure that your MNP compression is also off (had a similar problem on my Supra 144LC that you are experiencing and this seemed to fix it). Trent 'Dulce et decorum…
Jim, I have tried to use PowerSnap to do the deed, but this is only good for the descriptions, not the headers that are on the 'download window' (things like download times, library number and name, file size and name, etc). Your second suggestion would indeed work for those files…
Ok, tnx Steve. Will give TurboText a look. Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
The two parties involved on Cyprus were indeed at war. In fact, the Turks had made significant gains just prior to the first UN mission coming ashore.This was at the request of the two combatants (tho the Turks had to be convinced rather forcefully). Indeed there were troops that were…
Karl, What do you mean 'minor powers'? I suggest that you look at the makeup of UNPROFOR in Bosnia. The three main participants since UNPROFOR were originally inserted have been Canada, Britain and France. You will also find that these three nations provide a little better than 75% of the…
Gerald, All files here on CIS (and all other BBS') are compressed to save disk space and down/upload times. Before they can be used, the files you download need to be decompressed. As most files that are used by the Amiga are compressed using LHArc, you will need the program…
Monty, If you are getting a warning of "…Skipping corrupt/extraneous data – no files extracted" then you definitely have the file LHA in the C: drawer and it is working. What you are having problems with are corrupted downloads. This is fairly common when using x-modem (it pads the end…
Steve, Sorry, I was not too clear. When you have a request for a particular type of program, I have seen that the details from the .LST file (ie file name, description, keywords etc – just like that displayed when the catalog is displayed with Autopilot) is part of the…
liberal as ever
Message #189302
There in lies the problem. The US President (whether Bush or Clinton – it does not matter) had American troops go in under the UN flag (and I will point out with other UN member nations as well), then proceeded to dictate policy. In essence they tried to make a…
#liberal as ever
Message #189301
=>you have to have some chance of success Hmmm.. Interesting. So what you are trying to tell me is that you will not play the game unless you can win. There is no situation where peacekeepers have had to be called in where there was a sure fire chance of…
List Reader
Message #188778
Steve, I have noticed that yourself and the other sysops (as well as some of the other users) are able to clip a file description (as per Autopilots file descriptions from the libs) into messages. Which text/hex editor program/process is used? Have used GoldEd, Textra and FinalWriter to access the…
Actually, it is fairly easy to figure out financially what is needed. The hard part is trying to figure out how involved you want to get. The problem arises when two desires compete with themselves (both on the part of the 'public'). The desire to protect the sons and daughters…
Look, whether your son or daughter is sacrificed or not is not the issue. If they wanted to lead a safe existance in a job which has only the worry of papercuts, then they should have taken up accounting. By joining the military, they, as well as thier parents, have…
=>After how many years of being advertised and otherwise promised? Looks like Jim is in good company. Look at how Microsloth operates . Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
Monty, You have actually got past the hardest part of communicating online – the download. Now to actually use those programs that you have downloaded, you need to do some decompressing. All files stored here on CIS (and other BBS' for that matter) are all compressed to save on space…
Invasion is the last resort of the diplomats. Before that level of action is even reached there is a projection of power that is used. This projection of power is reached by simple things, such as showing the flag when US flag warships make courtesy calls. It could also be…
Bang on, Karl. Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
If the US wants to project world power and have a say in the affairs of world politics, I would say that the present size of the military would _just_ about cover it. If anything, it's too small. Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
Don't forget that even though active personell and equipment do get cutback so that there is a decrease in force level, and therefore in procurement, the stuff that is left get's used more (equipment and personell). This leads to increases in breakdown and fatigue which up's the costs. A smaller…
Not too sure if Installer was distributed with 2.1, but it can be found here in the AmigaUser forum (INSTAL.LHA) as the official product as provided by C=. Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
Michael, The best and easiest way is to find out what version he has. If it's v2.346 or better, then it does not really matter if you have a non-Supra modem or not, the program on installation will detect the modem and install the correct version needed. If he has…
Hmmm.. I assume that you dat drive is SCSI right? (not that it matters) On mine (the v1.26 DEMO) the program just did an inquiry and the specs for the tape drive came up. I do know that when I made a test backup, Diavolo gave the option to place…
Hmmm.. Nothing like that in my setup, Wayne. Then again I use a Viper tape drive, and Diavolo just saves the index to the tape. Do you use a tape system (or some other removeable system)? Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
I agree. It is one of the drawbacks to Amiback (or QB for that matter). That is one of the reasons that I liked Diavolo. It put it's index files where they were supposed to be, at the beginning of the backup. Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
#1084S For sale
Message #186297
One C= 1084S monitor in excellent condition. Was being used as my backup for my Amy in case my Mitsubishi blew up . It didn't! So now, the 1084S is on the block. It's the new model (in the new colours) and comes with all the cables. Asking $175 US…
Wayne, What about upgrading AmiBack 2.0g or 2.0h to the latest version (ie 2.0i). Has anyone mentioned that? Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
Alex, Micro R&D (as of a few months ago) distributed GPFax. At least that is where my dealer got it. It may have changed since. Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
Congrats Joan. Patience is it's own reward, right? Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
Yes Daniel. You are correct. Huttenloher is the author of Magic WB. Stuntz is the author of MUI. Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
OK. That did it! No more responses . Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
Daniel, =>What does Stephen Stuntz have to do with MWB? Stuntz is the author of Magic WB. Blayzor is the SASG US rep for easy paying of registration fees for Magic WB as well as MUI and a few other programs. Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
Reid, What version of GPFax are you running? The Supra 144LC is a class 1 modem which takes some workarounds as well as a different init string. For some reasons GPFax versions later than v2.346 have problems with the Supra 144LC (I know; my modem is the Supra 144LC). If…
Jack, This is great! SWREG and all… thanks for taking the time and listening to the end product users. Looking forward to seeing the new Terminus do it's thing.. Trent 'Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori'
Would be an interesting and refreshing change. Bujold coming from a French background with a definite Anglo name. Nice little turn as compared to Picard with his English accent and French background.. Trent "Tracers work both ways"
