I have no idea why the message was send three times. No, I am not german and my german is pretty bad. I apologize for my "bad" English. Eduard Joseph (Last days in CIS)
>>but a mac video resolution ,the monitor does make a difference…that's why mac monitors cost an arm and a leg Say what? As far as I know there is NO differences. We ussed Sonys, NECs, and Mitsubishis here for the Mac (they are getting rid of them by the truck…

For me DPI in a monitor is irrelevant since normally what I care is what size the image is displayed in the monitor. Because the graphics card is the one that determines that not the monitor. I could have a monitor that can have 144 DPI (1600×1200 in a 15"…

>I don't think paper documentation is a serious deterent to piracy I agree. But I like paper documentation, and do not like online. But I don't mind been distributed digitally cause I don't need three manuals if I have three systems running. I just do what I did with OS/2…
>>It's the same thing or even worse with the motorola processors 68000, 68020+68851+68881, 68030+68882, and 68040. So what's the point ? No way, are you going just by names? There a a few differences between the chips. And they were design to be downward compatible. The 68010->68040 were extremely similar…
>>As a print graphics Pro I definately prefer thinking in pixels I am also in the industry. And since I have to talk to several people from other departments and from this or other companies, I do prefer talking in DPI when is appropiate but sometime DPI has nothing to…

>>I got their number out of "The Video Toaster Group" newsletter. It says they are "Amiga Only". I'd guess they could handle fixing a floppy? Well THEY are not telling the truth. Although they specialize in the Amiga. The front room is full of C-64/C-128 stuff. And in the back…
On many formats there is size in pixels (i.e. 720×480) normally refer to screen pictures and a size in inches that is used for printing, and is in many times determined by the scanned resolution. Your Mac artist is used to the paper size so that is why he is…
#Rush to Amiga.
Message #208215
>>What is needed is for the producers of these shows to be made aware that their beloved CG/Paint Box/Animation/Effects Switcher box is about to become extinct. That might light a fire and garner public support for the Amiga in a big way. Some how I think they will light a…
Clint, I have an older version of Vista Pro (I think 2.x) How much to go to 3? I also could not resist to buy Terraform and FlyPath at one of the shows have these also been upgraded? … and if so how much for the upgrade? Hey I actually…
What your client is asking is to stamp the TIFF file with the correct scanning resolution. Since you have done a frame grab and Video does not do resolution the same way an artis using Photoshop does the stamp is arbitrary. Your image will come out at approximately 720×480 and…
Kevin, I beleive Linux has been updated to version 1.2 to match the PC version in both the Amiga and Atari versions. Last time the Amiga version was supposely moving from beta to release as soon as they had a change to put the last fixes in (that was 2…
As far as I know COREL files are not described anywhere. For a while they (Corel) where buying their compression method from a company call LeadTools so not even Corel knew how to do their own files. LeadTools does not make their image manipulation software available for the Amiga so…
Amiga Unix does not run in the 040s (and must likely in the 060s) so is best to avoid it (unless you have and 030 and plan to keep it for your Unix. So far the choices are available through public domain. Linux, Minix, etc… Eduard Joseph
You can try NetBSD unix or Linux. Lynux can be found in the Ineternet by going to the FTP address of: tsx-11.mit.edu the path is pub/linux/680×0 now this is not for the faint if heart this will take some time to setup and get it to work. But for the…
I am interested. What programs were you running that cause you trouble? And how much you think will it take to get it shipped to CA? Thanks Eduard Joseph Volt Information Sciences, Inc. 74603,3262 (714) 630-8300 x5018 (weekdays daytime PST)
Oh bummer. I think I am late for that since the rumor has benn going on for weeks now. Hmmmm, we still can figure out who is Dogbert in our company though, everyone else takes places in each character. Hmmm, wasthere a price for this, cause it there was I…
What is scary about Dilbert is that 1/2 of the "jokes" are exactly what tha company I work for does. Is really creepy and many times so literal that is not funny to us (but hilarious to others).
HP 550/560c
Message #196319
Does anyone know how to send a raster line oto an HP 550c or 560c so that the black prints black instead of composite black (which is dark green, not black). By the way, I am writting the driver myself. Eduard Joseph
>>BASIC sucks on any machine. Dave you mean to tell me you did not code in BASIC while working at C=? I though you guys used Amiga BASIC to prototype the OS? 🙂
Keith, You must have the opposite machines from ours. We crashed Win 95 100% of the time to the point that we stop beta testing this month. Say forget MS and went WARP.. We use 16 meg machines and all our MS Windows we used (and crashed in Win 95)…
In my opinion, the A4000 is the way to go if there is not much price difference. You can use the more storage and inexpensive 3.5" hard drives unlike the more expensive 2.5" for the 1200. Plus slots are the way to go for expansion (if needed). in addition to…
How about $250 for the VXL*30 ? By the way, I hope you are just getting rid of old inventory and not getting out of the Amiga market. Eduard Joseph
They did not move to anything, so far all they ever done is drop platforms were sales were not up to standards. I beleive the only thing left is compilers for mainframes.
Not everyone knows that C= went down the tubes. Brand recognition is something very valuable( that why there are Corvette vacuum cleaners, and Mighty Morphing Power Ranger macaroni and Cheese). And all they have to prove is that they are very much alive (not bankrupt) and people will not think…
– Amiga World's last issue I beleive was May issue (or whichever month is schedule this month) – Supposely the 21st of April someone will own the Amiga (if there is no more 2 week delays, like they been since July) – And only GOD knows if the Amiga will…

Yes, if anyone has read the latest issue[vol 17/no 3 MARCH 1995] of AV Video, the Amiga niche section is gone and Brent Malnack gives everyone 2 pages of reasons to jump ship and dump the Amiga. Hey don't anyone say that the Amiga never get magazine coverage. Hey, if…
Amiga's future

>>Get a Mac! You won't be sorry. You will be sorry. Like most of my collegues in my company were
Looking quickly at my sample codes I found this one. This one should work OK, and its a lot cleaner /* REXX routine that returns index of week, 1 = monday. */ /* requires year to be a 4 digit year */ DayOfTheWeek: PROCEDURE PARSE ARG month, day, year IF…
Oops I forgot Amiga's dates are different than the PeeCee's therefore the following should be needed (boy I wish I could get A-DOS 2.0 working again, if I only had the time) /* easy way out REXX program for day of the week caution this program changes the date for…
I have all the code to convert the dates, and currently I am trying to port it to ARexx but for some reason I can only boot my mcahine in AmigaDOS 1.3 (my 2.0 is not working) so A-Rexx is not accessible but if you want the easy way out…
I take that does not include the case? And that the motherboard is bare?
how much memory on the system and I take that the system does not have a hard drive?
>>Which makes Steve Jobs dummer than C=. (Though he still exists, and >>designed/marketed the NeXT.) Well, I guess what he did for Apple does not count. Plus, NEXT STEP is still around. I don't think a 1 year old corpse to be count as a running company (not producing anything).…
>>These same vendors typically report having given up on WNT. Which vendors? We are having problems finding GOOD software for OS/2. Even our backup software although functional is incredibly limited in functionality, support of tape drives, etc. Eduard J.
Thanks Tom, Someone recently gave a copy of the manuals. Now I have to see if they can be used with regular 9600 baud modems or if they can only talk smong t themselves. Also I found out that Radal Vadic is now RADAL – DATACOM.and their number is 1…

#RADAL VADIC
Message #189763
Does any know RADAL VADIC's direct phone number? (800-22VADIC is no longer in service) And I have a couple of 9600VP modems and need to get a hold of the instruction set (I do not have the manuals). Thanks Eduard Joseph
>> IBM is really not one bit wiser than Commodore was. Any company is wiser than Commodore, IBM still around. Even ATARI is wiser than Commodore. Any doorknob is wiser than Commodore. In other words nothing is dummer than Commodore, Commodore is the absolute and perfect 0 for marketing strategy.…
Why did you decided to follow up on the Amiga? I though it might it been because you have the same problem most of us got into when we bought the system (we fell in love with it). But this story seems hard to follow, very twisted, and it does…

Miracle Software Wanted
Message #188102
I have the AMAS (v1) midi interface and it does NOT work with the Miracle Piano. But other interfaces (like Dr. T's) work fine. I don't know if the guys at Software Toolworks support the Amiga (or sell the software anymore) but I believe the guys at Blue Ribbon ported…
Great. Thanks a lot.
