Amiga LOGO
Message #68174
No Ray, this definitely sounds like a full-fledged commercial package. Don
#Amiga LOGO
Message #67293
Last winter I posted a msg here after I learned from a CBM rep that a full-featured Amigan Logo was in the works. The Sept '89 TRANSACTOR announces (p.79) that AMIGA LOGO (by Carl Sassenrath) "with many operational features that distinguish it from other LOGOS" will be available in July…
Ray, Glad to learn you share my interest. I hope Bill Hawes is right when he speculates that if Arexx is included in DOS 1.4, popular articles and books are bound to appear. I would think the Abacus or Compute series might be natural places for such a book. Perhaps…
Thanks for your reply. The 1.4 is great news. I guess you're right about the likelihood of more popular stuff on AREXX appearing in the not-too-distant (hopefully!) future. Best of luck with your own work!
I'm delighted to hear, then, that I'm not the only one awaiting an Amiga-oriented ARexx tutorial. Let's hear it from the rest of you who also feel the need!! We've had a second, a third. Now, a forth (sic)? a….? Bill, you still here?! There are two Prentice-Hall books on…
Steve, Thanks. I'll check into Transactor. The Expresscopy Demo seems pretty neat. I understand your point about patience! BTW I just asked Jim Nangano again about my continuing problem with Whap!–being kicked back to CLI when I select 'cancel' or 'quit' after reading or writing msgs. My Whap! assignment IS…
#ARexx tutorial
Message #63065
Just read transcript of your ARexx conference last year. I bought your package, but I could really use sthg like the tutorial-oriented manual you referred to. Can you tell us anything more about that project? Don
Thanks, Doug: it does sound impressive! Don
Ken, Sounds interesting, but perhaps a bit over my head. Checking out your suggestion might be a good way for me to dig deeper into how this baby works. I'll get back to you if there's a problem. Thanks re Quarterback. Apparently in DL 2 there's a demo version of…
In response to similar questions about LOGO, I received a letter dated 1/24/89 from Matthew J. Helak, Cust.Supp.Rep. at CBM. Here are the relevant excerpts: "The TLC Logo which you were referring to was put out by Commodore, however it has been discontinued and is no longer available. We are…
Txed
Message #41390
cheath: Sorry I forgot to mention this in my earlier msg: when I use Txed on the HD (like right now!) the word wrap does not work…sometimes. Any reason this should be happening?
Arp,Siesta,HardDisk
Message #41384
I just installed a GVP-HD on my Amiga500. Thought I'd check to learn whether you know how Blitzdisk behaves with this kind of setup. Is it safe? Also, I've got Txed running but can't seem to get that Siesta font (which I've grown to love) to open when I boot…
Thanks, Vic! I guess I just didn't understand that getchar syntax. I did get it working after Larry Phillips, Don Curtis and Barry(?) Bartlett all responded. Hope you're feeling better!! –Don Reinfeld

Don, No, it's not cheating. I joined up many weeks late, and I'm trying to race forward to catch up with the crowd. Thanks for your tip! –Don

Thanks, LArry. Ithink I get your point, and I'll try to revive it along the lines you suggest. Regards. –Don
#LOGO
Message #32969
I recently wrote to CBM to learn of any plans for a fully functional LOGO for the Amiga. Here's the reply I received from one of their Customer Support Reps: "We are currently working on a more complete and upgraded version of LOGO [than the TLC LOGO which was never…
Txed/printing
Message #29359
Dear Charlie Heath-I've been enjoying your Txed+ package immensely, along with WShell. My computing skills are too meager for me to get much out ARexx as yet, but I'm trying to stretch all the time. Here's what's got me hung up at the moment: even with all the ARP stuff…

Message #4616
Marlene-Thanks for the info. I'm new here and a bit intimidated by it all, but I shall see about downloading Unix Logo and seeing what it is. Regards, Don Reinfeld
logo
Message #4579
I'm looking for a full implementation of Logo for the Amiga. Can anyone point me to such? (I have Gerald Owens' 1986 PD Alogo which implements Apple II graphics features but no trig functions, for example.) I recently learned of a version published by The Learning Corporation and offered for…

Message #115614
Anyone have experience with Amnix? Does it truly relieve the endless tedium of disk-swapping? What other useful features? Easy to use? Documentation? I haven't seen any reviews.

Message #115420
I've got a copy of 'pkax' with no idea how to use it to unarc afile. Am I just dumb, or is there a simple answer? This novice would appreciate any tips!
