#Terminus Help Message #106728
From: Jim Marias Amiga User Forum · Communications July 9, 1993 9:16 PM
I've just begun playing with Terminus scripts to see if it will replace my current term program (So far, it's the winner!). However, I can not seem to find a command to open the review window from a script. The recorder doesn't record menu picks or shortcut keys either. Does…
EdPlayer 2.1 Message #24493
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · DeskTop Video December 14, 1992 8:37 PM
In the Jan 1993 issue of Amiga World, "The Best of Free" article speaks of a Mod player program called "EdPlayer 2.1" bye Ed Mackey. Does anyone here have it? Willing to upload it? I know the 1.1 version is in the libs here, but the 2.1 looks like a…

Hi Michael, I've got a piece of PD software that allows you to program controller from the Amiga. Works just fine but takes a little getting used to the interface. Its called X10.cntl by Stephen L. Childress. I think I got it from PLINK (R.I.P). ANyway, I'll LHARC it and…
From: Jim Marias Amiga User Forum · Communications October 3, 1992 7:01 PM
Has anyone received the Baudbandit 2.0 upgrade yet. I sent in my disk and money six weeks ago but nothing received back yet. Progressive Peripherals has put in a perfect touch tone phone system. It's perfect because you can never reach a live body and there is no operator to…
#116551- #A1000 Parallel? Message #116611
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Printers/Plotters August 13, 1990 4:39 PM
Tom, This may not directly answer your question but my setup goes through two different A/B boxes (a Bal 100 and a Hymco tech box..Both manual switch) to get to two printers (Xerox C-150 and a HP deskjet) as well as digiview and a future sounds unit. I have had…
#116024 FutureSound? Message #116046
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade August 8, 1990 10:41 AM
I've been using Audiomaster I and II for so long that I didn't even remember a toggle in the Future program. I certainly haven't needed it with AMII. If I need to isolate a line, I just unplug the other one or switch off the source. JIM
#115807 #FutureSound? Message #115838
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade August 6, 1990 9:56 AM
Ethan, If you are referring to the red button on the futuresound unit, then I think I have found your problem. The button is not a select input button but is an A/B type switch for the pass through parallel port. For digitizing through either input, the button should be…
#115690 #FutureSound? Message #115771
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade August 5, 1990 6:24 PM
Have you've been able to try any other software with the mic yet? That should be able to isolate the prob for you. Give it a try. Jim
#FutureSound? Message #115645
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade August 4, 1990 1:35 PM
Ethan, Works just fine. The sampler settings I have are Max Mono 44744 Vox Value 20 Bias 0 Device Parallel. I just checked after reading your message and all is fine. I think your prob may be hardware which is why I suggested trying superecho. If you can use the…
#115508 #CanDo DeckBinder Q&A Message #115521
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Other Languages August 3, 1990 10:10 AM
John, Take an electronic stroll over to Inovatronics in Amigavendor forum. Martin just uploaded a bunch of stuff including the Multibinder (binds all the iff resources to the deck). They may be a bit quiet over here, but it looks like they are too busy WORKING ! Jim
#115427 2.0 Version? Message #115520
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors August 3, 1990 10:09 AM
Ethan, I use futuresound with Audiomaster II and it works perfectly with the microphone. or am I misreading your message about it? As long as the box keeps working, I'll stick with AMII. It's far superior to the software that came with FS. If I'm reading you right and the…
#36766 #AmigaVision Help Message #36770
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · DeskTop Video July 28, 1990 6:52 PM
Speaking totally out of my hat here…… Under Amydos 2.0, I believe we will be able to send out break signals using a task name instead of number as we currenly do. (You can't count on task numbers to be the same, time after time) This will work if the…
#112548 Gizmos/Telecom Message #112599
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade July 13, 1990 9:43 AM
Russ, I can't help you with Gizmos, but for script recording, ATALK III from Oxxi software does a real nice job. It is a super term program as well. If you have any specific questions, just holler. ………… Jim
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors July 1, 1990 1:31 PM
Dave, TAD, from what I understand, writes the "balancing" information to it's 24 bit file save format. So it is raw plus data. If Ham-E can read this properly, it should display just fine. Then again, I could be totally wrong.
#17333 GIF Loader problem ? Message #17339
From: Jim Marias Amiga Vendor Forum · ASDG June 15, 1990 10:54 PM
Perry, Thanks for the quick reply ! (and the math lesson) It was baffling in that when loaded and immediately saved in IFF ham format (no other changes), I could load in the IFF file with much less memory available. As for the enlarge/shrink combo, no problem. Waiting an extra…
GIF Loader problem ? Message #17325
From: Jim Marias Amiga Vendor Forum · ASDG June 15, 1990 10:43 AM
Hi Perry, Been noticing something strange about the GIF loader. It seems to want my entire systems ram no matter what it "really" needs. I have a 3.5 meg system (3 fast .5 chip) and I use a 1 meg rad: disk leaving 2.5 meg. However, even when loading a…
#108510 #CDTV in my Vehicle Message #108550
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors June 13, 1990 11:03 AM
Don, I'll reply to both of your messages here as the answer is the same for both. You are correct in that it does not supply routing information. However, the zooming feature implies the correct general route to take. For example… your target location is 20 miles away. You select…
#108368 CDTV in my Vehicle Message #108459
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors June 12, 1990 11:20 AM
OOOOPS…I forgot to mention the display set up in my previous message. The Etak uses a 4 inch monochrome monitor on a flexible stalk extending from the center console of the car. The top of the monitor is about the same level as the top of the steering wheel. It…
#108368 CDTV in my Vehicle Message #108458
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors June 12, 1990 11:20 AM
I've got one of those things in my car now. Had it for almost five years now. It's called The Etak Navigator. It uses sensors in the non drive wheels for speed/distance and an electronic compass stuck on the rear window. It is a cassette based system and for the…
CDTV Wows CES! Message #34617
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · DeskTop Video June 7, 1990 11:35 PM
From what I understand, the demos were running under 1.3 !! Jim
#33869 Speed up Deskjet Message #33879
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · Forum Business/Help May 24, 1990 10:42 AM
Saul, I use PageStream and not PPage, but FastDJ may well work with it. If PPage can redirect the printer output to disk, you can use it. FastDJ works on the HP print file itself in two ways. You can save to disk the output file and then print at…
#33581 #SuperEcho Message #33586
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · General Help May 18, 1990 9:12 PM
Kevin, I have a copy of SuperEcho. I'm not sure where I got it. According to the docs YOU wrote it. Am I missing something here ? Jim Marias (75436,126)
#16831 #TAD Message #16841
From: Jim Marias Amiga Vendor Forum · ASDG May 18, 1990 11:37 AM
Perry, Thanks for the quick reply ! It turned out to be a lack of memory problem. When I got rid of rad: and single tasked TAD, everything worked as expected. Again, my compliments. TAD is so fast, even on a 68000, experimenting and optimizing is actually fun, instead of…
#TAD Message #16830
From: Jim Marias Amiga Vendor Forum · ASDG May 17, 1990 10:30 PM
Hi Perry, My TAD arrived today !!! Yippeee! You've done some real nice work with this. I'm very impressed with the speed of the renderings and the ease of use. In my experimenting, I have run into one problem. My intention is to convert a 320 x 400 ham image…

From: Jim Marias Amiga Vendor Forum · ASDG May 5, 1990 2:32 PM
Yeah Perry !!!! I can't wait to get this puppy. I ordered mine a little over a week ago. Can you tell me if mine went out in the first batch ? and are you shipping UPS, snail mail or carrier pigeon? 😎 Get the feeling I'm eager for it…

Hi Steve, Here's the procedure for Vscreen and PageStream…… Start Pagestream (Do not open a document window yet) Flip back to workbench From a CLI type this exactly Vscreen 660 652 "PageStream v1.80" Go back to PS and you've got a BIG screen. To test it, Move the toolbox over…
#95148 HP DeskJet + Message #95157
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Printers/Plotters March 23, 1990 10:46 AM
Nelson, Make sure your friend has the density setting in preferences set for density 4. That is the 300 dpi setting. There is also a program out there called "quickPrefs" that allows you to change many settings on the fly rather than going to preferences, saving, rebooting etc… Seems to…
#30703 PageStream Tip Message #30721
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · WP/DT Publishing March 17, 1990 12:42 PM
Hi Mike, Both are utility programs that can be found in the libraries here or in Amigatech. 1) Vscreen allows you to create a larger "Virtual Screen" than your application normally makes. If you are a pagestream user, you know the screen is normally a 640 x 400. But in…
#30523 VSCREEN Thanks Message #30566
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · WP/DT Publishing March 13, 1990 10:37 AM
Donna, I see Betty has given you some help in tracking PopUpMenu in the libs. I am not positive about the lib name or location but Betty's suggestions should get you to it. The latest version is 2.42 dated 12/6/89. Let me know if this version is not here and…
#30470 VSCREEN Thanks Message #30485
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · WP/DT Publishing March 11, 1990 4:22 PM
Donna, I'm glad that the tip helped you out ! It really makes PgS A LOT easier and faster to work with. If you haven't allready got it, try using POPUPMENU as well. It will make the menus "pop up" under the mouse instead of having to go up to…
#30149 PageStream Tip Message #30165
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · WP/DT Publishing March 5, 1990 11:05 PM
Mark, I am afraid I don't know what may be causing your problem. I am running it on an expanded A1000 but no flickerfixer, so that might be the problem. If you can try it out without the flickerfixer, you might be able to isolate the problem to that (not…

#14102- Service Acct'g/Amiga Message #14140
From: Jim Marias Amiga Vendor Forum · Forum Business December 23, 1989 10:39 AM
Steve, Thanks for the info. I'm glad to hear about payroll being added. If your developer would do so, having California options would be very nice indeed. I like the idea of a 30 day guarantee, but I think seeing a demo first would still be helpful. We are very…
From: Jim Marias Amiga Vendor Forum · Impulse November 22, 1989 12:24 PM
I got my VoRecOne yesterday !! I must say I havenm't had as much fun with a gadget in a long time !! It seems to be a very solid product with bug free software (even though I'd rather push return than F4). For those reading this, BUY ONE !…

From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · Hot News and Rumors October 23, 1989 12:24 PM
I just got off the phone with Jerry at Newtek confirming what I heard yesterday. They are understandably close lipped about it until they release the prosuct but this is what was said. yes it is true it will have hires ham mode 640 x 400 and overscan It will…
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · Hot News and Rumors October 22, 1989 6:03 PM
I just got back from what I considered to be a rather poor AmiExpo. It was lightly attended and there were a lot of empty booths. I think a reschedule in light of the quake would have been smarter but anyway… The big news for me was from Newtek. The…
#12641 #AMIGA2000 FAXCARD Message #12646
From: Jim Marias Amiga Vendor Forum · Black Belt Systems October 21, 1989 10:44 PM
Glad to hear about the new Fax system !!! And it will even work with my 1000…(beaming from ear to ear). A big question though…Does it have a passthrough for the serial port?? And also, will it handle 9600 baud speed ? I would really like some specs as soon…
#65666 The Cordless Mouse Message #65673
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Hot News and Rumors September 13, 1989 7:23 PM
Will the cordless mouse use the standard mouse port on the receiving end? The reason I ask is that I heard of another one a while back that uses the Amiga serial port. And of course, no modem and mouse at the same time. Seemed pretty stupid to do it…

From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade September 13, 1989 7:22 PM
I think the Sham converters are going to be in an upcoming issue of Computes! Amiga Resource magazine. I don't know if they will be released to the public after that or not, so you might want to keep checking your newsstands.. Hope that helps…Jim
From: Jim Marias Amiga Arts Forum · WP/DT Publishing August 21, 1989 2:33 PM
I could have sworn I read a message here in the past couple of weeks advertising a DTP printing service in San Francisco that accepts Amiga formats (pagestream etc…). I, of course, immediatley lost the name and phone number for it and I've rescanned the whole message base looking for…
#59203 Pagestream Message #59217
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade July 27, 1989 11:05 PM
I don't know what if any differences there are. I just know that my free upgrade was from the first release 1.52 to this one and is says 1.61 on the title bar. I'm pretty sure they will honor your freebie when they have the next version out. I do…
#59064 #Pagestream Message #59091
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade July 27, 1989 10:25 AM
2 months huh?… Must be 2 computermonths (an exponential function of reality) Which version do you have now? It should be 1.61. The reason I'm asking is that most of the release packages from dealers were a *very* buggy 1.52. If that's what you have, then you are due a…
Pagestream Message #58964
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade July 26, 1989 10:48 AM
I understand there is a new version in the works but Soft-Logik won't even hint at a release date due to all the flames about previous promised and missed targets. Jim

Martin, I Just checked the mail today, but no info. I'm sending you my address via EasyPlex. Thanks for the help ! I'm glad to hear it uses the Amiga OS. Why re-invent the wheel when Michelin is around (working toward Pirelli). It sounds like I'm going to have fun…
From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Tool Box July 9, 1989 4:44 PM
Hi Mike, Someone in the thread mentioned gibberish text in the browser programs editor. I can confirm the buglet. The problem is a conflict with the FastFonts program most people run in their startup-sequences. MaxiPlan (PlanIt) has the same problem. It causes some kind of alternate character set to be…

I heard something very different. I also called and was told that Francis, the programmer, still had a list of screen updating bugs to iron out. I spoke to the Atari version programmer and he said that he was studying the Amiga programming manuals to help Francis out. I have…

From: Jim Marias AmigaTech Forum · Whap! July 19, 1988 5:01 PM
Doug, Sure did. I've uploaded my startup sequence to the lib as well. Don't know what's causing it, but it really is no problem as hitting cancel on the requestor seems to work just fine. Jim Marias
