Ross, I owe you an apology — I was "under the influence" when I posted those WARPed (;-) instructions. That was the first time I had done that (and hopefully the LAST time!) What I wanted to do was to provide a "simpler" set of instructions -without a lot of…
Uncrunching ".WRP" files
Message #112579
Betty, Yeah, I can see where you get that idea. I've run into that phenomenon myself. An associate just started showing interest in my Amiga, but stated that "all that software was available for her PC…" Meaning someone else had already purchased all the packages she was interested in. >>…
(I think maybe this msg. was meant for me?) Martin, >> In other words, the software probably did not corrupt your drive. The >> fact that your Amiga crashed during disk access did. HUNH? WHAT caused the Amiga to crash? THE SOFTWARE! Not to mention, the software was supposed to…
Wayne, I believe your problem is with PixelScript. As I recall, the docs state that it can't handle PostScript dashed lines. AT LEAST, that's what I found when I tried to produce a dashed-line with ProPage (v1.2). It drove me crazy; I ended up making a broken line from several…

Cliff, I THINK WE got THE MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! — Bob
Betty, An apology wasn't required. I LIKE DIVINE INTERVENTION! I DID think the HD WARNING was necesary. THANKS for your Diligence! You guys are the BEST!! — Bob
#CG Font Control
Message #35937
Tom, There seems to be a problem with the "Compugraphic Font Control" in the "Preferences" menu of Professional Page (v 1.31). I have a 1-meg Agnus and 8-meg of FASTram (just to get that out of the way.) If I adjust the "Max RAM Cache Size", the "Max CHIP Cache…
Wayde, Thanks for such a detailed response (Break in any time ;-)! — Bob
Betty, text-only would be fine (for the NIV). I can do searching with my several word-processors/text-editors/text-utilities. DIVINE INTERVENTION is my second KJ version; the first is just text (and Messy-DOS formatted, at that! 8-). DI was so well done, though, that I probably would have DL'd it had I a…
Thanks for going into such detail! — Bob
#Divine Intervention
Message #35268
Got 'em all! Just a short note to say "Thanks!" for uploading DIVINE INTERVENTION. Now, as I recall, you mentioned a NIV version…(BIG GRIN!). — Bob
Don (this isn't just to you, but it seems the appropriate place to toss in my two cents…). One of the big audiophile mags ("Audio", if memory serves 😎 did lab and jury (listening panel) testing of a whole slew of CD players, from low priced to high-end. To grossly…
Steve, I DL'd Sound v4.9 from this forum! (Not sure of the AArts title anymore; I expand them to be more descriptive when I archive them!) — Bob
AHH! At last, the place to ask this question (and plug the last remaining HUGH hole in my Laserdisk-player education): Could you please explain about CLV/CLA (I know Constant Linear Velocity/Constant Angular Velocity). What I am particularly interested in are the implications of those 2 designations when buying a comsumer-grade…

OK — I CAN'T stand it any longer (Here or in AmigaArts). WHERE can I find BarBrian? (I've got all those others you've been discussing!) — Bob

LZH is BAD!
Message #34127
I realize you guys try very hard to stay on top of things. Glad we caught it! (BTW, in nearly 4 years, and dozens of MEGS of downloads, thats my FIRST gotcha! Says a lot for your Sysop QC, if you ask me.) Thanks for getting back so quickly. –…

LZH is BAD!

No Sweat! Glad we caught it! — Bob
John, I'm using MandelVroom v2.0 on my GVP3001. It has a couple of gotchas: a. The menus show an '020/'881 mode — but it won't go into that mode on my '030/'882. The best (in terms of resolution, accuracy) is IEEE mode, which the docs claim will go to the…

Betty, Please don't feel pushed. I realize that you have a great deal going on. I look forward to seeing the files as they arrive. Thanks again! — Bob

Bible Search Program
Message #106376
Betty, Actually, I was gently joshin', but you raise a valid point. My PeakSpeak disk (recently uploaded) was a case of 6-of-one/half-dozen of the other as far as compression-size, but I had set up a complete environment: disk.icon, windows for the drawers carefully formatted to make a nice playthem-from-the-WB. It…
Betty, I vote YES (on the upload). (Don't know if it's necessary to point this out to a Sysop, especially one so involved with her local user's group, but LHWarp seems to do a better job than plain vanilla Warp. If I'm preaching to the converted, please forgive ;). —Bob
No, they didn't show anything identifiable as any of the Amigas. The keyboard reminded me of the HUGH boxy keyboards that were attached to some ancient Xerox CPM machines we had as our first PC's in the lab — like typing on a tombstone lying on its back, or maybe…
Try Dl/8 — MSPECS.ARC. I found it there last August. –Bob

THAT's the problem with me only checking in here every few days… my news isn't always timely enough. Well, I'm glad you found it wherever! –Bob

#Dynamic-HiRes
Message #25825
I've been very impressed with the sample images from your ScanLab/#? products. Problem is I digitize a lot from transparencies, very large originals, and 3-D objects. Your scanners seem to fit in a rather narrow range of applications. For my use, the cost/performance ratio for your products hasn't been very…

Message #3832
Paul Sorry about suggesting that I had information about a Supra SCSI card for the 2000 (I'm running a 1000 with the Supra interface on the expansion port). I had (erroneously) thought that John was using a 2000, and tied that to an assumption that Supra had transformed their SOTS…
##96356 Df2:
Message #96495
You concur with the guys at Michigan Software; I went ahead and ordered their external PS for df2: (that WAS my original plan, anyway). They indicate that their power supply COULD supply both df0: and df1:, but they couldn't see a reason to do so. Did you just give me…

Larry, I am not exactly new on the forum (Don gave me a hand a few months ago) but I am usually a few weeks behind reading captured messages, so timely participation is usually difficult. Santa came early for me, and I am now the pleased owner of my SECOND…
