I have a real problem with C= and CD32. Looking at the PR junk I got from C= I am back to the thinking that CD32 is being pushed by C= to make a great game machine ONLY of the whole Amiga line. Seems thinking is back to square 1.
they did pay for a fairly large booth (#116 in the old north hall bldg) but they gave it a third party developer.
C= is here but they gave away their booth soace and were working out of a suite at the new Luxor Hotel. They plan to do a big effort at CES and wanted to *save* the bucks (so they say). I was shown the CD32 unit. Mike
#Kronos software needed
Message #95053
We have a need for a copy of CLTD kronos software as we have just come into a 2000 with a kronos HD installed. The system is the propery of Civil Air Patrol and any software and manuals obtained can be treated as a 100% donation by the IRS. We…
Isnt there a federal law which requires product support for five years AFTER a product is out of production?? If so complain to the federal tade commision and go for a redressing of your grievance.

WP for Windows also only allows you to use WP's fonts…NO windows or ATM font can be accessed….SOMEBODY GOOFED!!
The ghost of Ed Lippert surfaces again eh John??
Denny thats just MY *wish list*!
looking at the PC\s newest generation of graphic WP's I wish they could be made to come over to the amiga. Since WP Corp is now a dead issue Microsoft and Lotus come to mind. I have just received Eval copies of Microsofts new Word for Windows 2.0 and Lotus's…
WordPerfect 5.nada
Message #40452
To all those whom I said a new version of Word Perfect for the Amiga was being developed I now can say THERE AINT NO SUCH ANIMAL. WP Corp has offically disbanded it amiga beta testers and said there will be NO NEW AMIGA PRODUCT PERIOD! The reasons behind it…
Marketing types want everything done yesterday or a least the day before yesterday. Ben get real!! When was the first time that *ANY* new soft worked right the first time ya wrote it's code.
sorry Ben that question falls deeply into the "non-disclosure area". Mike
It won't be soon as it's still in VERY early development and still quite aways from reaching the point where I go to work (beta testing) but it is there and is not vaporware. If I had to guess I would say at the earlist next summer would be a…
Thank you Don as I am a tester for the new product (which I havent seen yet) I am sharply restricted in what I can say. What I said was cleared before by WP Corp to counteract some of the negative comments here and to assure users that a new…
#WordPerfect 5.0???
Message #37997
I want to dispell any rumors or tales of woe. There WILL BE an ALL NEW version of Wd Perfect for the AMIGA. It will be a vast improvement over the 4.1 version. Sadly I am under a non-disclosure aggreement so what I can say beyond this is nothing. I…
As a novice I would recommend getting the software that gives you the most for the least amount of cash outlay. That will more than likely put you off to get the low end DTP package from Gold Disk (the name escapes me at the moment). This program will get…
I hate to plead rust but I've been using nothing else but my NEC Postscript LC-890 here since I got it in 1989. My dot matrix and color inkjet just seem to be sitting around a lot. I have been looking longingly at a color Postscript printer. For my non-PS…
I have had some strange performance in PPage 2.0. It happens when I try to send the document to print. Sometimes I get a full print dialoge box and sometimes I get a box with no click requestors there (no OK or CANCEL gadgets) to use. I have also had…
could this be happening due to a memory shortage?? I have a feeling that PPage needs at least one MEG of RAM with 2 or more being better. Mike
Well I guess it was never used in my system's dos owing to the fact that I use WB 1.3 and C-ltd's SCSI dos 3.0 as well. It formed a T dir in RAM but that was all. Earlier versions of PPage never asked for it either so it was…
Betty give me a break!! 9600 baud…I am still trying to get CIS to upgrade my node to 300-1200-2400 baud!!!
None by me but NASA does have a BBS. I dont have the number here but I am sure it's available in the space forum here on CIS.
Andrewcan you explain why ver 2.0 is asking for "VOLUME ENV" there is nothing in the current startup file to explain it. I got around it by doing an additional assign to the startup but why it's there
Anything is possible. All I am saying is that I watch the channel quite a bit and in the direct downlink I have never seen the guru appear. On a local cable rebroadcast of it's downlink then a guru is possible as I have seen them here on our local…
I was only refering to the use of amigas as part of NASA Select TV. As far as I've seen there are none there used as a part of the uplink.
Joe that's most likely what I have seen here too. BUT as far as I know and I am a heavy watcher of NASA Select there are no amiga graphics there.
Lots of cable companies use amigas!!! Ours here uses one too and I have seen the guru visit it more than once!! Mike

#NASA & Amiga
Message #14003
NASA Select Tv is transmited in the clear (no scrambled picture) on Satcom F2 Transponder 13. All shuttle missions and most launches at the cape are carried live on it. They also run educational programs related to the space program. special events and other space related activities. To the best…
I met Phil Katz at COMDEX earlier this month. He assures me that PKAZIP is alive and well. It is not a public domain program however.
Are you using Access under dos 1.3 or 2.0? If it's under 2.0 that could be the problem as it's not really a 2.0 program yet. FYI Access! is NOT A PUBLIC DOMAIN PROGRAM IT'S SHAREWARE!!!!
The first demo was created poorly. This is a new demo of the release version and it will run fine when all elements are placed in the same drawer. In doing this file I made two lzh files, the one you download and one contained inside it as well. When…
Ben this puzzles me..what printer do you have and which driver are you using? could it be a printer/printer driver mismatch? I have used the Epson, NEC and Postscript drivers with never a problem. I am a Beta tester for WP Amiga so I have a potentially buggier platform but…
Ben, How old is the version of WP you're using? If it's older than a year a call to WP is in order for an upgrade (free in most cases too).
Well if ya have an extra A3000, send it my way. I'm not proud!!! (g)

#DP Program
Message #36251
Saxon is different. I have never used VP but was told by saxon that it's similar. The boxes are what I like about saxon the most and it loads faster on a 1000 than either of the other 2. I am still waiting for my release copy to arrive. So…
Tom I had the chance to try PPage on an A 3000 running DOS 2.0 it crashed and burned badly. I wasnt surprised though as everything crashes on it. Now before everyone jumps me with it's only a beta version of the new OS, which I know, the point I…
Bill seems to me that the problem is something in Pagemaker4.0. Now if that is the case and it does seem to be as that particular string died out quickly then it has little to no bearing on the amiga. Fact is we're not sure it is a virus. It…
Mike keep me posted on this. It will be interesting to see how it develops.
Yes they had great early sales and then it died probably due to the bugs. Then they wanted to drop the amiga line except for product support. Now we're back who knows where. The facts are as I stated. THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WORKING ON AMIGA PRODUCT NOW. I…
Thats easy Mike. It's suit thinking. The current product doesnt sell, so why improve it and make it better when the current product isnt selling, Nevermind the fact that the suit's rushed it out before all the bugs were found and removed. Nevermind that because of that sales, which were…
The reason Amiga WordPerfect is not up there with the PC is SALES. It just hasnt been selling. A version that would have made 5.1 look sick might have happened but poor sales killed it for now. The Amiga was going to be WP Corp's platform of choice for new…
I think Lee Hopp has aquired the rights to most of C Ltd. products. His Company is called Microdyne and is reachable in Wichita Kansas at 316-265-2661 Mike
If it was an image running on WP 5.1 then it's a .wpg file. As far as I am given to understand it that is a unique image to just WP and will not import over at this time. It's possible that someone might write an amiga interpeter for it…
Saxon has informed that they will have a new demo of the release version. If all things stay on schedule, which they rarely do with new software, I should receive it and post it at the end of this month. The new demo SHOULD have a documention file in it.…
Wayne I have a beta version to play with here. A demo version is over on the DTP forum. It seems to have some nice features. Saxon has promised me a release version and a new demo with docs by months end. The current demo is a broken demo. It…
I use ProPage 1.3 with a NEC LC890 Silentwriter. It's output is quite nice and it also will allow HP laser emulation and diablo 630 as well. It also gives good output on Pagestream and Saxon Publisher.
eet I said 1.43 or WHATEVER. I guess you fall into the WHATEVER category. ROFL…GRIN!!!! Spec
