#Terminus Help
Message #106728
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
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…
#BaudBandit 2.0 update?
Message #72311
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…

#A1000 Parallel?
Message #116611
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…
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
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…
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
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…
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
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…
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…
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
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.
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
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…
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…
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…
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 what I understand, the demos were running under 1.3 !! Jim
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…
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)
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
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…

#TAD now shipping
Message #16608
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Fast Fax from Michtron
Message #88841
Let me jump in here. I just got an spec sheet from Michtron yesterday, so I will quote…please bear with any typos…… It's called "Fast Fax" Hardware: 8Mhz 68000 Processor 32K RAM 64k ROM Nonvolatile configuration storage Total Power consumption 7 watts Data rate: V.29 – 9600bps, 7200bps v.27 -…

Service Acct'g/Amiga
Message #14140
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…
VoRec First impressions
Message #13435
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 !…

Newtek News-Digiview 4
Message #23582
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…
Newtek News-Digiview 4
Message #23542
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…
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…
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…
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
#SF Print Service HELP!!
Message #21324
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…
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…
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
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
Yes please. I would love to see a demo ! 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…
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…
That's one I use all the time. Use *70,555-5555 Call waiting will automatically start again after the call. see ya, Jim

Message #43472
My brother just got a Panasonic KX-P1124 24 pin printer. Does anyone know of a dedicated driver for it or the best existing one to use ?? Thanks, Jim Marias

Publishing Partner
Message #9190
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…
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
