I am not really familiar with AmiTCP but, if the program is looking for the socket.library in say the `AmiTCP:libs/' directory and you copied it to `libs:' directory that could be the problem. Of course it could be the other way and should be in `libs:' not the `AmiTCP:libs/'. When…
If they are having production problems or using limited facilities, it is quite possible that they are being produced in low volume and the embedded market is getting it all. I mean if I say made robot or milling machines and all my control code was in 68K family and…
Hi Jim, I have heard that NASA during the moon program use 3.14 as PI not 3.1415…, which is what I would expect. Though the instructor told us this while showing us how hard it is to be truely accurate.
It may be too soon. However, the programming teachers I have had all Hate the MS/winDoz scam, but you can't explain the reasons to the bean counters so they keep buying it. They all long for something new. I wonder how far along it is. Matt Straney, 3 hours late,…
I have version 6.55 c/c++ by SAS, it is still available, but will not be revised unless `they change their minds'. As for the graphical/custome stuff, they have the header files included in the package. You will still want to try and find a set of Rom Kernal Manuals to…
I have heard of compatability problems w/ 3.1 Ados and the toaster, but I am not a video-head so I can't add anything more. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
Thanks for letting us know, also is it retina Z3 or 2 or both? Please be 2 or both, I don't have the money to upgrade to a 3. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
Well that is nice, but my friend works on computers every day that have become flakey because someone added a card and sometimes just a new TSR for that matter. Then there are the really quirky things like you can't run card x and card y in any series one…

Phillip, I don't know of any plug and play system that actually works at this time on the pc. I heard it and read it, but I know a great many techies that deal w/ pc's and most are still in the complaining mode (about PCI). In 2 years it…

I applaud your choice of words. > entertainment personality, Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
Well do you have 2.x on your machine, there was a release of the 2.o4 RKMs I think, or is it 2.1, either way I have them I don't know if they are legal. A friend got them for me off of the level 42 bbs some years ago. I…
Hi, I think I asked before but here goes again. Do you support templates and exception? is it ansi 3.0 compatable-ish? and what is the price? this is more for a friend of mine, he is very interested but he lost his Inet account at the local cyclotron before he…
If you know someone who has pagestream 3.0 they could load the art and then export it as say illustrator 3.0 or something else. It would be real easy to do, a virtual snap. No pun intended. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on…
DJ, To the best of my knowledge they(dell) doesn't manufacture anything right now, they market units only. Those units are farmed out to others for fabbing. I could be wrong, as this is 2nd hand information, which may cause tumors. 😉 This friend also said that dell has a very…
Jim, I have the RKM 2.0 source code, that is all the examples from the books, not the OS. I don't know where I picked it up either, it may be that it is from a developers kit or something and I shouldn't have it?? I know I DL'd it…
No, I wouldn't throw it out, I just wouldn't teach it first. I mean really you'd have to teach it very soon, you can't really do anything that isn't procedural! We all had one of those dp-100 intro classes where you learned about the VERY basics of computing, that should…
Maybe we should not even teach procedural techniques, and start w/ OO from day one. I know I still fall off the wagon from time to time, and find myself trying to write the program inside the class definition. I Still need to really concentrate to think that way.

I think you're right on target. The way the economy is going, it is only a matter of time before a cataclysmic failure. Business keeps making plans on past sales results, while they are cutting the workforce, and those workers end up with lower paying jobs. Thus not having the…
Well, like I said rumor. I didn't think the numbers were right when it was being explained to me. He was telling me that the `060 was 4x as fast as an `040, which is true at 50mhz vs 25mhz respectivly; but high end mac's use 40mhz `040s so that…
#No 68060?
Message #179550
Speaking of the '060, have you heard a rumor that they(motorola) won't be releasing it after all because it could outperform a powerMac w/ native apps, when put in an old quadra running 680×0 native software. I heard it and am hoping it is not true. But I am afraid…

Hi Wayne Migraph, out of seattle has several scanners, both hand and flat-bed, b/w-gray and color. I have had ok results w/ their product, a hand scanner and some scanning software, but it was not pro-level stuff. If he is just learning about scanning it should be ok, and even…
LHA is an archiver(de/compression) program. First you need to unarchive AP.LHA, to do this at a prompt type-> lha x ap.lha ,If for some reason your AP file no longer has a .LHA extension just rename it to AP.LHA by typing-> rename what_I_named_it to AP.LHA ,You know it just dawned…

I'll second that(FCII), and its only about $65 mailorder, if you can't find a local dealer. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
Go to your public library and look for an older book on ballistics, say 1945-1965 and see what it has to offer. It should contain some really simple algorithms for getting basic understanding, and work up from there. Most recent books on ballistics that I have looked at are quite…
DJ, When you say screens, do you mean on the WB or Public or custom? My Z-2 says that KS is unsupported, and then continues to run, but I only ever used 16 colors anyway. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
Yep, they're cool. They offered a good deal on z-III retina, but I'm buying a house and all purchases are off. :< Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
And how big were these rocks?, about the size of a brick, oh yeah that wouldn't be sweat would it. I know that feeling, I had a drive freak out from a shareware reorganizer, NEVER AGAIN. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot…

Speed well yes, umm, I have an 040, so it seems ok to me. Can you use a build like controlled compile, with lots of blocks of code?
Yes I have. What is this PCB thing you are talking about, my ROMs plug into the mother board, why do you have it. or am I thinking of someone else. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
there is a patch online to get you upto 6.51. As for books, there is one called simple C++ by ~someone cogswell~ I think, it covers basic concepts, in an easy way.
my machine has PROTO chip and works fine. What kind of drive? Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
When you say tower what do you mean??? is it a ROM switcher? or just a socket? according to my sheet you have the order correct. This will sound trite, but I have had a similar problem in the past, what the problem was, was that the daughterboard had popped…
My 3000 returns Kickstart 40.68, Workbench 40.42 but then it is ECS not AGA. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
Well, I'd say 4000, because it has AGA display, and an `040(maybe). Though maybe you don't have a scsi in the 4k. If they both have 040's, then you have to decide do I want to get a scsi for cd-rom or use 3k w/ cd and no AGA display.…
I think you need disksalv 2.0 or better, 2.0 is its version number not the dos it run under. It will work on I think all ados version 1. 2or3 and up. I recently took the time to figure this thing out, and used it to unformat a drive of…
I put chip 0 into the socket labled 1 and chip 1 into socket 0, and mine works. As for the buster, I know of a person here in mid-mich area that tried and went back to the old one because of the flakiness/gurus he got. Matt Straney, 3 hours…

Hi Dan, Could this be viewed on a CD32, as a stand-alone kind of thing or would I need to have something like the SX-1 or Communicator package to view it??? Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
James, Coupon offer, but it is going out third class so depending on where you live it could take a while. Also your last name is close to mine and probably went out on the same group. Don't panic until friday if you haven't got it yet, 3rd class is…
Mike, How is it different?? I just got Microcosm and chaos engine from CEI and am looking to getting atleast one more controller. If you see a review(indepth) of sx-1, or what ever it's called let me know where to find it. Thanks Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your…
Bart dude(couldn't resist), It would be easier for people here to help you, if you could export part of your code into an ascii file, and then incorporate that into your posting here, using `ascii send' or the like. It is near impossible to guess what your doing wrong. And…
Hank, GO NEWSGRID and use PRIMESTAR as the keyword of your search, at least one of the articles should give you an 800 #, and I am pretty sure there will be more than one article, even though I haven't checked. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from…

Message #155407
Could you post about them [communicator] when you have had a chance to use one. Also might you know will it be PAL specific?? Will there be US distribution, that is with English docs. I had quite a time w/ my retina card, using a 40 yr old German English…
I'm sure thats true, but it seems to me that it would be real slow on a 68000, but then everything is. I can understand what he was implying, that more 2000s are accelerated than 500s Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot…
Jay, I called and ordered already! Though they told me there would be no A500 kit as they felt there isn't enough CPU to run it efficiently. It may also be that it was developed with the A1200(68020) and the older up-scale(accelerated) market in mind? I thought I'd tell people…
