CD ROMS, 4 sale or trade
Message #28682
I have four CD Rom packages I'd like to trade or sell. They are: Front Page News, Magazine Rack, The Bible Library, and 1990 Time Magazine Almanac. A few things, if we talk trade, I'll consider: An encyclopedia and the U.S. white pages phone directory.
Thanks, Jerry. Based on those prices I think I'll pass for awhile. Not that they're bad prices… I simply didn't have the foggiest idea the list is that huge.
Angelo. I, too, am interested in a list of CD-ROM's available. If you learn anything I'd be grateful if you pass it on. I'll do likewise.

Bryan. On a somewhat related subject. I bought the DAK package a few months ago and am pleased so far. Like all gadget freaks I am also interested in something I saw on DISCOVERY channel a few weeks back. If I understand the report it was about a software product…
Thanks, Marc.
#CD-ROM title list?
Message #20977
I'm a novice to this forum and the use of my own player. Is there some type of list of CD-ROM titles which includes most of what's available? –Len Miller-
Shape Thanks!
Message #22179
Steve. You spotted it. That space following the comma in the shape file must've been the culprit, cuz it works fine now! Thanks much. Len.
THANKS, BRAD!
Encrypt thanks
Message #22033
I don't remember what the product name was, but I would like to, at least, make an inquiry. If you hear of any leads, please yell. Thanks, Jamie, for your response.
#Transient thanks
Message #22032
Thanks for your response, Brad. I just peeked at ACAD's SETUP.LSP, and sure enough, a transient type of program! Now I would like to look up that function you suggested but my transmission of your message must have glitched at the wrong moment. Here's what it looks like … ..…
#Transient Autolisp?
Message #21982
I've been avoiding the defun convention lately in several of my lisp programs. That is, (defun xxxx () ;working code goes here );end defun By avoiding the top and bottom line as the working code is "loaded", I perceive that the function is transient, doing its job and leaving behind…
Shape Sizes?
Message #21981
The following shape definition compiles o.k. But it does not give me the size I need. *133,29,square 2,14,8,(-8,-21),8,(0,21),1,9,(0,-21),(21,0),(0,21),(-21,0),(0,0), 2,8,(27,-21),14,8,(-12,-10),0 So I attempted to divide the vector lengths (3,2,) at the beginning of the definition, then return to original size at end by multiplying by same amount (4,2,), then added 4…
The Lisp File
Message #21980
(setq #b (strcase (strcat (getvar "dwgname") ".doc"))) (if (open #b "r") (princ) (progn ;begin dummy file prep to extract complete dir list (setq #dum (strcase (strcat (getvar "dwgname") ".dwg"))) (setq #a (open #dum "w")) (write-line "null stuff only" #a) (close #a) (setq #dee (strcase (strcat "del " #dum))) ;end prep…
FILE DESCRIPTION?
Message #21979
Under separate message, immediately following this one, "FILDESCR" is a lisp program we've been using for several months with few kinks. One problem, although not fatal, is completely baffling. First let me describe the function of FILDESCR. Its intent is to require a one-line verbal description for every drawing being…
ENCRYPT LISP?
Message #21978
I recently saw an advertisement for a program which is capable of encrypting AUTOLISP files. How reliable is it? Assuming AUTOCAD can understand these programs even after encrypting, can ACAD work with either, the standard kind and the encrypted, and within the same editing session? Is a memory resident program…
