I don't need my PCMCIA slot anyway because I already have 4MB installed. Is it worth waiting for the next upgrade since a lot of changes are being made now with the Amiga computers? I also want to add to my hard drive memory. I have 80MB. But now it…
#3.1
Message #216879
I've been reading about the Workbench 3.1 Operating system. I have 3.0 on my 1200. Should I upgrade? Hitting fairways and greens!
Can you suggest a Printer Driver to try. I have an Epson Stylus 800 48-nozzle ink jet printer with an Amiga 1200. Hitting fairways and greens!
I tried as low as 55 for a page length with no improvement. I'm still getting one extra page and the following page loaded forward. What is your page length? Hitting fairways and greens!
#Printing problems
Message #209269
I'm having some printing problems. Everytime I print something I get one full page of paper running through my printer after what I need is printed. Then it advances the next page after running that full extra empty page through. My Printer Prefs are set to continuous paper. I tried…
#gif files
Message #47442
How do I use GIF files. I downloaded one and now I don't know how it becomes useable on my Amiga 1200.
Erich, I think I erased what was in the startnet file and replaced it with the lines you gave me. Now that file is not executable. How do I get the original one back to start over? Should I retype the AmiTCP:bin/startup file that starts .key IPADDRESS? Is it a…
Thanks for your answer to my question about Internet connections. In your directions: Unarchive PPP1.30.lha. There are two versions of ppp.device for different CPU's. Copy one of them to devs:networks/ as ppp.device. I found the ppp.device for my CPU. Where is the devs I'm copying this to? Is it the…
#Can I get connected?
Message #197545
I downloaded AmiTCP and PPP. Are those 2 files enough to get connected with the Internet? With my present knowledge (very little–If any) what are my chances of getting anything up and running with my Amiga 1200 and CompuServe? Is it possible for someone like me to eventually get connected?…
#Locale
Message #195947
Betty, I used my Install Floppy and reinstalled everything and it seems to have corrected the problem. Thanks. It used a little more of my memory than I had before. Now I'm using 85% of my memory in my Workbench part. How can I eliminate unnecessary stuff? Hitting fairways and…
#Locale
Message #195844
Betty, I'm still having that problem with my computer requesting that I put Locale in any drive. Thinking about this–I've had this problem for a long time since I reinstalled my Workbench. How do I go back and reinstall just the Locale part of it without losing everything else? Hitting…
Thanks. I put them into the Clip files part of FinalWriter.
Betty, Thanks for your message. I'll be gone until Monday as well. I'm running in a 10K in St.Paul over the weekend. Hitting fairways and greens!
I just downloaded them into an AutoPilot drawer. I don't know how to get them into FinalWriter.
#clip art
Message #46604
I downloaded some Clip art. Some files are ILBM's. I need to know how to print them out. I downloaded some others that are .iff's and they printed out. Can I use these clip art images in FinalWriter?
Matt, I tried doing that but it didn't help. I can't imagine that I could get myself into such a problem. When I start up my computer I get the request for LOCALE. Then I click on it a few times and then my computer clicks like the monitor prefs…
Betty, I think I did reinstall the LOCALE files. They are in my Workbench and they are called Catalogs, Classes, Countries, and Languages. But inside my Locale Prefs I only have English as the available language. I have no countries or Preferred Languages. Those sections are blank. Maybe I need…
Betty, My Startup sequence looks like it has what it should have in it. What commands do I need to put in my user-startup? Maybe I didn't install my software correctly when I blew my system and needed to reinstall my Workbench. But then I don't know why it just…
#LOCALE
Message #193245
I sent a few messages about the trouble I'm having with the request for Inserting my Volume LOCALE in any drive when I startup my Amiga 1200. I think my message got lost somewhere. Hitting fairways and greens!
Locale
Message #192677
I changed the Locale in my Preferences from one time zone to my correct one. Then the next time I turned my computer on I get a request for me to put LOCALE in my computer. What can I do? Hitting fairways and greens!
#.jpg files
Message #46412
What do I do with .JPG suffixed file? All I know about is .LHA files so far.
zoo suffix
Message #190170
I downloaded a label program–GFXLAB.ZOO What do I do with programs with a .zoo suffix? Hitting fairways and greens!
John, Thanks for your information. I'm willing to put in the time and energy to get this program going despite the fact that I'm a rank amateur. Any ideas would be helpful. Hitting fairways and greens!
Don, I did the command ASSIGN AFAX etc in my user-startup and I get the same request to insert AFAX in my drive. Hitting fairways and greens!
Don, I don't know what else to tell you. I have this AFAX drawer inside my Work section. There doesn't seem to be any other layers of where it's located. Then inside that is the File called AmigaFax plus about 5 other programs like README etc. Hitting fairways and greens!
Don, I'm still confused by the path in my computer. I have AFAX in my Work part of my hard drive (HD1). Hitting fairways and greens!
Don, I am still trying to run AFAX. I just don't understand what it means to be able to send faxes via email as opposed to whatever else there is. I tried to put ASSIGN AFAX: DH0:STUFF/AFAX in my user startup but it doesn't do anything for me. Then I…
Don, I guess I didn't realize that AutoPilot allows me to send Faxes. Do I need a separate Fax program if I have AutoPilot? Hitting fairways and greens!
Don, I get a system request. "Please insert AFAX in any drive." Hitting fairways and greens!
Don, I'm not using my Floppy drive. I'm on my hard drive and it appears to be installed however, when I double click the AmigaFax icon it calls for something else to be needed. Hitting fairways and greens!
#installing programs
Message #189556
I don't understand what it takes to install a program on my hard drive. I guess I have assumed that it is installed when the program is situated as an icon on my Work or Workbench sections. I have been working with a demo version of AmigaFax that I downloaded.…
#Fax
Message #189144
Betty, I downloaded ElCheapo Fax but I don't know how to use it. Any information about how this operates would help. I can't seem to find any directions that came with it that tell how to operate it. The directions don't start with how to even turn it on. Hitting…
#Labels
Message #188406
I'm looking for a program that will allow me to make labels. I would like it to have the ability to make 3 labels across on laser printer labels. Hitting fairways and frozen greens!
#LHA
Message #187368
Once I have downloaded a file that is in LHA format and then unpacked it, is there any reason to keep the file with the LHA suffix. I downloaded the catalogs from the Amiga User, Arts, and Vendor forums and unpacked them. Should I keep the LHA suffixed files? Hitting…
Don, I followed your commands. I have a drawer called Unz51d3x in my C directory which is supposed to be the Unzip program. It then has 10 files inside of it. I had to take the file called Unzip which is one of these 10 files and put it in…
Dear Don, I went into the files but there doesn't seem to be any directions in there that I can understand. Maybe you can translate a few of them for me into normal language, not computer lingo. 1. unzip – list/test/extract from a ZIP archive file 2. unzip [ -cflptuvxz[ajnoqUV]…
Don, I can't seem to understand any of the readme.ami file information. All I want to know is how to unzip a file called Malon2.zip. Hitting fairways and greens! The season has started!
Don, I typed UNZIP Malon2.zip into my system. I get the message "This is an "official beta" release from Info-Zip. See README.AMI for details. I found my Usps.logo in my Multiview and found out it was a picture of the U.S. postal service. So I'm ok with that. Joan Hitting…
#Unzip and IFF
Message #186686
I downloaded the file UNZIP.LHA. I unpacked it and put it in my C directory. When I type UNZIP file name I don't get anywhere. The documentation is not helpful since I don't understand any of it. Suggestions? Also I have something called USPS.logo.IFF. Can you tell me if this…
#zip files
Message #186281
I've downloaded some files from the Education Forum. Some of them are .zip files. What do I need to use them? Hitting fairways and greens!
Michael, I just got in two days ago using a regular CompuServe Node. I was trying to get in using a Telenet number but was unsuccessful. I used the Before1 Script in the Docs for Telenet but must have made some errors. I'd still like to use that number if…
#AutoPilot
Message #186029
Dear Betty, I finally did it!!! I got my call through to CompuServe using AutoPilot after a couple of months of effort. I was beginning to think there was no luck in this computer business and everything I touched was out of control. My patience paid off. I changed to…

#AutoPilot
Message #183540
I have the demo version of AutoPilot. Should I be able to call you with that? What are the icons I should be seeing in my Autopilot drawer? I have a feeling I have only a part of what I need.
AutoPilot
Message #183372
Dear Betty, I'm backk. I got my 4MB memory board back in operation. I also started back trying to get AutoPilot up and running. I'm not having much success. I got as far as using the Install icon and having it install itself on my harddrive. From your 12/31/94 message…
