David: Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. — Gary Lucas —
>>> Depending on you Flicker Fixer, you may have to disable it to display >>> any of the PAL modes. Bob: I did NOT receive documentation for the Flicker Fixer. I think it is from Commodore. I have no idea how to disable it — do you? — Gary Lucas…

Ed, I have a simliar set-up an A-2000: 2 internal HD floppy drives; 10 megs of ram. I use Quarterback to back up my Maxtor 345 Drive. Yes, there is a trick — a "Work Around" I learned from "Central Coast" (11/30/93) and it really works. 1. You must insert…

Mac-Amiga DTP Help
Message #72253
ALL: Does anyone know what to instruct my local Lino-Output Center to do in order to save a file which they created for me in "Aldus FreeHand" (on a Mac) as a file that can be read as an EPS file in ProPage3.0? so far they have tried to save…
Jean-Eric: Yes, I am interested. What makes your collection better? And of course what is the PRICE? — Gary Lucas —
Peter: I have found that our printer (OKI-DATA 192 Plus) has a menu setting for skip over perf. — Yes, it was set to Y — after changing the setting to N — it has improved the output somewhat. Next I entered the AmigaDos Printer Prefs contorl window which I…
Peter: Thanks for the dip switch tip. However, the printer ia an OKI-DATA 192 Plus. I'll my printer check for switches. I was able to set a Sub-Total Report with no problems and it does Sub-Total everything on an month by month and office by office and includes combined year-to-date…

QB- New (BAD) Policy
Message #33858
New Horizons: I have owned QuarterBack ever since 1.0 and I have faithfully upgraded to each new TRUE upgrade for $$$. I have always recieved FREE bug fixes — as in QuarterBack v4.0 – v4.3 that fixes the FLOPPY drive freeze when using AmigaDos v2.04. Today, I called your office…
Malcom: I have GOLD DISK's Video Series CG-fonts installed on my hard drive. After installation I had the same type of problems you have described here — after contacting Gold-Disk's Tech. Support I learned that their install srcipt failed to properly name a file called "cg.chardata" on my hard drive.…
Bradley, My last message was cut short by line noise it should continued to say: Be sure to include the following in your PHONE BOOK ENTRY: |Baud| Setup| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2400 F8N1BX All I can say is, "It works for me!" — ENJOY! — — Gary Lucas —
Bradley, Try the following MODEM & CONFIGURATION settings: Baud Rate : 2400 Data Bits : 8 Paraity : None Stop Bits : 1 Char Mask : ON Duplex : Full Word Wrap : OFF Priority : 0 Printer : OFF Capt Wrap : ON Handshake : None Buffer Size: 8192…
Jonathan, Type in the example SCRIPT COMMAND below, it includes a CRTL-C (^C) and your log-on will work. Except use your correct Password… {CONNECT=\w\w\w\w^C}{ID:=71610,3712\r}{Password:=YOUR+PASSWORD\r\w} | | CRTL-C above is a ^C – a SHIFT KEY plus the 6 key gives you a ^ ENJOY! — Gary Lucas —
Jonathan: I have been using BaudBandit's SCRIPT COMMANDS for a bout two years myself. I find "Worry Free" Log-On works too. CompuServe I believe is looking for a ^C (that is a control C) to be sent after a CONNECT is made. Here what the SCRIPT COMMAND looks like in…
#AmigUtil ARE HERE!!!
Message #29587
I have just uploaded a file called AUII10.LZH to Library #1. This file HAS the DOCUMENTATION to AmigUtil! Several forum members have been asking for this file so I first uploaded it LAST Sunday (7/14/91) however, I have NOT seen it added to the available files yet, so I uploaded…
Steve, After I posting my last msg. to you I checked to see if v1.0 was in the Libraries I did NOT find it, so I uploaded the COMPLETE package. I thought about uploading just the DOC file, BUT the docs have one of those "This program may be distributed…
Steve, AmigUtil II v1.0 is the title that appears at the top of the AmigUtil.doc file of the ShareWare release prior to AmigUtil II v1.84 release. The v1.0 docs state that the shareware fee is $20.00 to: Amiga Team Canada BBS a/s Marc Lafontaine 452 des Pins La Plaine, Quebec…

Baud Bandit
Message #26820
Shawn, I am sorry that you aren't having much success. Are your SERIAL settings in Preferences set the same as in Baud Bandit? Also, you could be right — switching back to 6800 could do the trick. I know that there are people out there with A-2500's and A-3000's using…
Angeli: My 14.4 K HST Dual Standard works great! I use it with A-Talk-3; BaudBandit; Access!; and SkyLine BBS without problems. — Gary Lucas —
Angeli: Call their support BBS at (708)982-5092 and at the main menu there is a selection for details on the SYSOP modem program for HST. — Gary Lucas —
I am a registered user of SID 1.6 it's the BEST until I saw DIRECTORY OPUS v2.01 demo incredible! I have tried repeatedly to call Timm Martin's BBS in Largo FL (I am in Venice FL) to no avail. I've seen him log onto serveral local BBS's here in FL…
#DIRECTORY UTILITIY INFO?
Message #14718
Does anyone know where DIRECTORY OPUS v2.1 (or higher) can be purchased in the U.S.A. ???
Betty: A few years back when PageSetter went to Pro-Page 1.0 I to placed a regular upgrade order it took 61 days for it to arrive. The only thing that I could possibly think of was that they (GD) sent it through the regular mail from Canada to me in…
Alex, All I can tell you is what worked for me. I was told by a local Amiga Repair Tech. (I am NOT the tech. type) to: buy a can of "PURE" silicone; remove the key cap; slightly moisten the end of a Q-Tip with the "PURE" silicone; lightly apply…
Don, and all: I am a registered owner of SkyLine v1.31 BBS, I have had this BBS since its' beginning as Artredes v1.0. The author Michael Cox has maintained a support BBS for SkyLine for sometime now and the message threads on his system do support what Vance has been…
Alex, When I have this problem I do the following: 1. Turn off the Amiga and disconnect the KeyBoard 2. Carefully pop off all the keys. Remembering the sticky ones. 3. Turn the KeyBoard Upside Down and shake vigorusly (you won't believe the crud that will fall out). 4. Clean…
Don, Thank you for the information. We are using SLOW Hard Drives right now, and when we OPTIMIZE our Drives we see a dramatic increase — decrease in disk accessing for dir reads; program loading; and icons appearing. However, after the first of the year we will be changing to…
Bill, I have only Low-Level formated one of my hard drives and that was two years ago because of some read-write errors. I have NEVER tried to LOW-LEVEL format and a RESTORE for optimization for two reasons: 1st, LOW-LEVEVL formating takes at least several HOURS to do; 2nd, it is…
Troy, Disk Mechanic, B.A.D., and QuarterBack "TOOLS" will all OPTIMIZE our 33meg Adaptec ST-506 Hard Drive in 20 minutes; our ST-277n in 45 minutes; and each drive has two partitions and they are 80% full. Admitedly they are SLOW Hard Drives. After the 1st of the year we will be…
Leslie, If you adjust the Cache setting to use more RAM example 1024 (one meg.) the process will take about 45 minutes. We have 4 Amigas and 5 Hard Drives and have only had to a LOW-LEVEL format on one of them two years ago. The above info WILL fix…
Christopher, The advertisements: for B.A.D. say as much as 500% percent; for THE DISK MECHANIC as much as 400%; for TOOLS (the manual) as much as 400%. I have used each, and as I have stated before in this thread. OuarterBack TOOLS v1.2a seems to be the best in OPTIMIZATION…
Brian, Bill, & All, I stand corrected! Yes, my previous statement, "Increases Disk Access" was incorrect. I did NOT write what I meant, I was thinking it! The Statement should have been, "Optimization DECREASES Disk Access Time up to 400%". Again, I stand corrected, I am sorry for my outburst…
Brian, >"…increases … access time by up to 400%…" Means EXACTLY what it says, disk access is 400% FASTER! ~~~~~~ After one OPTIMIZES a FLOPPY or a Hard Drive when you click on the disk icon an "OPTIMIZED DISK" loads up to 400% faster, quicker, then a NON-optimized disk. Therefore,…
Christopher, >"Is 'optimization' worth the effort on a HD?" Does the SUN rise in the east? IMHO, YES! I work in an office with 4 AMIGA's with 233 megs worth of Hard Drives. OPTIMIZATION increases disk access up to 400%!!! And, the programs load faster! We Optimize the Hard Drives…
Daryl, Thanks for the info. I will look for "AWK" here on CI$ and see what I can do. — Gary Lucas —
Leslie, Yes, you did something wrong. You used the "default settings". I set the Cache to 3 megs (I have 5 megs). Try a setting of 1024 or 2048 in the Cache Setting and that WILL speed things up. Next, and most important, you need to use TUNE-UP 2.5 or…
Paul, YES, it took me 2.75 hours to DE-FRAG my 50 Meg Hard Drive using "TOOLS" v1.00. Yesterday, I got my upgrade to "TOOLS" V1.2a and last night it took 45 minutes! A big difference. — Gary Lucas —
John, With QuarterBack TOOLS v1.00 it took 2.75 hours to OPTIMIZE (DeFrag) a 50 meg Hard Drive with 1meg ChipRam & 4megs FastRam. However, I just received my "TOOLS" update v1.2a and Central Coast Software says that OPTIMIZING will run a bit FASTER now — what that means I have…
Russ, Using AmigaDos 1.3's Protect Command from within SID to set the "H" Hidden Bit for your .info files; next from the Menu Select "Flags" go down to Hidden and select "Hide" and your .info files will disappear the next time you access that Directory. You can set this up…

Does anyone know if there is a way to write an AmigaDos Script Command that will copy the files from DH0: that do NOT have their Archive Bits set to RAM: ? Or any ideas for a Work-Around? — Gary Lucas —
