PMFBI, I've never heard tell of upping the stack to 35000. I just did it & will see if it makes a difference. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Joachim, Thanks, you explained the great socket.lib mystery ! I knew I had read the answer from Chris but forgot what it was. I'll figure out Thor's use. One of these days someone will say the magic words or I'll play around with it 'til I get something useful. Gracia,…
PMFBI, I had the same problem & no one believes me . I took sockt.library out of the TCP libs (nothing would work when it was there). Just run IINTS151.LHA to install everything & it will take care of that problem. I don't yet know the answer why it works,…
Anyone can use AP (with the right hardware) even without docs! AND the docs are very good, some of the best around…they actually tell you how to use the software, not what feats of technical programing heights have been reached. You must be trying to make it difficult (some people…
Yo Andre, Than the mystery deepens! My stopnet file is the correct one. What happens (I think, because who remembers what's happening when you doesn't known something's wrong!!) is that startnet fails, I then hit the stopnet icon, & I THINK answer Y to shut down drill. I will definitely…
Marion, Thanks, naturally I need windows & slow is not fun online . Will send my Winston guru looking. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Yo Marion, Thanks…I guess I should get a card or build a clone. I have a 286 that was given to me to upgrade…I then need a monitor switch box & space on desk, yuck. I already have a 4000 + a 1000 there…John, the resident Luddite uses it as…
Karl, I know you're trying to be helpful, but yes I am correctly installed & Arexx is in my startup…I'm sure it's a small, til now unknown bug since Andre Page has the same problem. I can live with it, just a pain in the butt sometimes ;^}. At least…
James, Truly a mystery, since I don't have socket.lib anywhere & everything works. I guess Thor works. I have run it but haven't used it yet since I haven't a real clue what it gets on the NET. As usual rotten docs, just a programer's ego trip of 'neat' technical…
Ah Ha! So I'm not crazy , or as my best friend says "you're crazy, never the less"… Well, I gues that's a small price to pay for not suffering trying to install by myself…which I'm about to do with the commerical version. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Karl, The s-bit is set, paths & assigns are all correct. This is set up by IINST151. Everything works beautifully—when it works . It just stays active if it fails for some reason before I get on, like the CI$' NET access being overloaded. See Andre Page's post to me…it…
#what PC emulation to get
Message #216337
Anyone use PC Task? Anygood? Don't bother? Get a 486 card? I need just a few PC programs & don't want to waste $ on one. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Steven, Funny I don't have it there & everything runs . BUT I did just look at the startup file & indeed it says to load it from TCP:LIBS!!! I swear it didn't work when I had it in TCP:libs & I was told it gets loaded (I thought it…
James, That may all be true, though I have yet to read a read.me or Docs that actually tells you how to use a program . They usuually tell you how clever he is & all the clever technical tricks that are included. I just reread docs & I'm semi…
#Change link speed?
Message #216245
I now have a 28k CI$ node. Should I change my link speed? It's at 38400 right now. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
PMFBI, I was told to forget the socket.lib, that when AmiTCP is runit creates it each time. Nothing would work when I had it in the AmiTCP/libs. Good figure . Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
John, Yes it works all the time, even if Amosiac locks up. It even works when AmiTCP fails on startup, BUT I can't restart because I'm told AmiTCP is active, so I have to reboot. in other words for some reason AmiTCP doesn't get closed. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee,…
Karl, I haven't had the problem in a few days since I rarely use the NET (I find it a basic bore except for a few specific thing I need, but I can assure you that the Stopnet Icon leaves AmiTCP still active, when I try to start again. That's…
Karl, Thanks, but I did that, there is no other way to stop the action & go offline using INST151's install (except turn off the modem). Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
AmiTCP "still active"?
Message #215862
Chris, What to do (?)…if AmiTCP failed at the startup I can't start again because I'm told AmiTCP is already active. I then have to warm boot to use it. Is there some thing better that will wrk ? Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
PMFBI Paul, Where can I find ZGIF ver 39.16 exactly. I thought I had DLed the latest one from here. I have 39.15. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
My A1200's gone. 🙁
Message #210323
You have my sympathy, but HOW could you let movers take your baby, we carried mine in my lap (well almost- cat in lap, computer in back of rented small truck)!! I'm here in Greensboro-Salisbury area & will be on outlook, also tell my crazy biker techie-vender to be on…
Hi Andre, Thanks, I'll also file it for future reference. Very good info for a non printer trained person like moi. These people won't have a clue what I'm talking about if I ask . They can barely use their MAC computers to write. It is printed by the "big…
#Ad for newspaper?
Message #210073
I'm doing a political ad to put in our local rag…what is the best lpi output from my HP4m to give them a camera ready product? I usually use 90lpi & 600dpi. This will be mainly type. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Funny, I put 3.1 software in my 4000 with 3.0 roms & had to go back to 3.0, forgot exactly why, but it didn't work. They shiped the wrong roms (3000s) so I haven't put them in yet, 'cause haven't made it to my techie. Both lazy & afraid to…
AMosaic v1.4_
Message #208996
Thanks…I'll be away for 2 wks…if you find it, could you email it so I don't lose it? I guess I'll have to subscribe or monitor it more carefully . Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
ZIP Drive
Message #197858
Anyone have a SCSI ZIP Drive? $199 from PC & MAC Connection…good buy? What's the story…pug & play? I have a 4000/40 W/DKB 4091 card. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Robert, Unfortuntely this BBS uses a GUI MAC/IBM windoz interface. THEY don't know what I'm ataking about & the software people don't know what I'm taking about, so I'm in a bind. The Sysop of the Popcorn BBS (a big CA commerical BBS) said "definitely not QWK", but from the…
#BBS, what type?
Message #197812
I have what is probably an unaswerable quesion. How does one figure out what kind of BBS one's accessing to see if THOR will work. The sysops of board don't know & the tech support of software CO didn't know what I was talking BBS, QWK BBS, HIPPO etc). The…
Timothy, 2,500 is steep, but if it has a "educational' discount might fit into school budget…they were looking at a Toaster which would be much more expensive since they are a PC school & would have to get an Amiga…unless Tim Jenison gets the PC version out sooooooon. Thanks again…
Thanks…don't know what their story is, but I find out & get back. Maybe some more people will chime in . Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Great movie (yes, I know it was a book first)!!! Actually the "real" Appalachian up-hollow accent is charming in an old Appalachian farmer, but the English I'm talking about is just plain BAD, not 18th century (Appalachian accent). You hear it on all the daytime sob sister shows. Obviously Rhodes…
Yo DJ, No…But I know our Mexican friends will ROTFL. They have a great sense of humor & know what AHs the locals are. NYC is a great city by all standards. Even beauty. I get home sick when I talk my NYC CI$ friends
#Best/inexpensive V card
Message #5243
My 13 yr old IBM buddy needs to know what is a good…inexpensive video card (& I would guess what else for an editing suite) for IBM. His Jr. High is mandated to have such by Sept. & of course since he knows more than the teachers (TRUE!), he came…
Ask Marion J, Deland 72550,1733. Amuse is the users group & I think they still meet 2 times a month 1st & 3rd tues. I've been away 4 yrs so I can't tell you more…Marion will know. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
WMS…just a little shorthand for CI$ . I could have made 2 sentences for the different ideas, but I knew the smart Amigans would understand. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Come on Marion, with all our computers to do our work, we'd only need to come to the City for the theatre, galleries & restaurants. Nice dream…. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
I guess I'm lucky, I have never heard such bad grammer, but then I have never lived around such people. Our doormen & porters in NYC spoke better English & it wasn't always their native language. As I said, the educated Southern speech is beautiful. I grew up in Annapolis…
Very good….I'm a sure Miss ;^}. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
This is getting to a very feisty group…I'm shocked, shocked to hear such talk ;^} !! Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Alex, See my other post. You were in the civilized places. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Yo Brian, I was brought up in the South, BUT around educated people. The educated speech & accent is delightful here…BUT "it ain't came back yet", "him & me is" is gross to the ear as is the pride they have in their ignorance. This country is dumbing down fast,…
Why? At the thought that someone COULD miss NYC, or could NOT miss NYC. Be careful in your answer..I LOVE NYC…well, the NYC of yesteryear. If I had a Meg of $s I'd have the best of both…the country & THE city along with every Amiga toy known to man.…
How'd I know you'd come back with an answer, Senor Garcia? ;^} Things in Cooleemee are a bitch…I just made a T shirt that reads "Besa Mi Coolamee" written around a pair of BIG lips I made & scanned ..figured our Mexican friends here would get a laugh from that…the…
Yo Marion Yes & no. I love our property, pond, Canadian geese who are nesting, flowers & veggie garden, time to play with Ami & learn new tricks…hate the ignorance & poor English one hears every where & only one Amiga techie in Winston. Really miss all the great friends…
I'll second that…though many confuse me with "Garcia" as in "A Message to…" Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Chris, Thanks…I'll try that next month when I get free dialing to Winston & can better afford to spend hours experimenting. So far I have a small book of messages saved from here in lieu of docs . Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Martin, Thanks…tacky of them . Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
Chris, If you quit Handson, where do you type "startnet"? I thought quiting Handson wold throw you off CI$. This is going to be some adventure when I get free dialing to a CI$ node next month & try my hand. I've saved ALL the posts. How are the animals?…
Hi Kelly, I managed to get Post to work 3 yrs ago when I really didn't know what I was doing, so I guess I'll manage the wild NET . Thanks for name of DL. I may not have my catalog set back far enough. Hope you're into spring…we are,…
