Changes at CIS!!!
Message #208600
Jonathan, sorry for the late reply. Since Lex is not listed in GO DIRECTORY I will have to ask his permission before posting his address. — Quinten
Jim, Remind me not to send replies when I'm half asleep and have a purring cat in my lap, who keeps biting me when I stop petting him. — Quinten
#AmiTCP don't connect
Message #196653
Jim, Since CompuServe uses 7E1 by default, what you saw looked like garbage. However, there's a little trick to get CompuServe to keep the parity to zero, which is basically the same as 8N1. Simply modify your script to do the following after you get the CONNECT message: DELAY 25…
Rick, Yes, it will be charged to your account. I'll send you five copies of the July CIS Magazine. — Quinten
Rick, you can order the magazines from CompuServe for $2.50 per copy. As I work for CompuServe, I can enter an order if you want me to. How many copies do you want? — Quinten
#Imagine Upgrade
Message #84576
I still have Imagine version 1.1, which I bought in Germany. What's the best way to upgrade to 3.0? Do I have to send in my original disk? — Quinten
Betty, JPEG has been a standard on CompuServe for a while now. All HMI products have a built-in JPEG viewer. There are other JPEG viewers for all computer brands I know. — Quinten

#TV/VIDEO Connections
Message #148231
Andy, your best bet would be to make your own SCART connection. I have made several but that was a long time ago and I've forgotten which pins need to be connected. You need to connect analog Red, Green and Blue with their seperate grounds, Horizontal and Vertical Syncs and…
Steve, It's not very likely that CompuServe will consider CDs for the Amiga. It's not very expensive to get the CDs manufactured once you have all the data but it has taken a lot of time and money to compile everything for the first CD. I know some of the…
John, The script pops up a little window and lets you select a directory. — Quinten
Larry, You're right, it works with wildcards too but I have thousands of directories and all you get is 'More than one directory matches' if you've got tons of directiries that start with the same letters. I like to be able to select the directory I want and I'm a…

Disk Change
Message #127697
I didn't catch the beginnng of this thread but a friend of mine solved the problem using the FKey commodity. Simply use DISKINSERTED as a hotkey for DISKCHANGE DH2: — Quinten
Terry, I think the easiest was to get the CLI number is to write a DOS script that lauchees your Rexx script with the proces number as a parameter. Something like key void bra { Ket } rx test.rexx {$$} would work fine. — Quinten
David, I doubt there ever will be a germam version of Imagine but it would be nice if Impulse would prove me wrong. — Quinten
David, the german distributor of Impulse is Memphis. Their address is Memphis Computer Products GmbH Max-Planck-Str. 9a 6382 Friedrichsdorf The newsletter I received today is a bit outdated but hey, at least I got one finally. — Quinten
Multisync monitors
Message #95960
Paul, I use a program called MagicScreen. It allows you to configure any screenmode for every program. (for example, JR-Comm with an interleaved bitmap screen and 16 colors is quite nice) I havent got the complete the complete archive right now but I'll upload it as soon as I get…
Dave: yes, it plus into the video slot.
Tom, the scandoubler is simplay called Scandoubler. It costs DM470,-. I have no idea how much that is in dollars. The company that makes them is called CompServ. (No, not CompuServe) The address is: CompServ Muehlenstrasse 16 D-4790 Paderborn Germany Phone: (+49) 5251 24631. Fax: (+49) 5251 26563 They are…
I ordered a scandoubler from a company here in germany a few weeks ago. Aparenly it doubles the horizontal scanfrequency which willallow you to use any Multisync monitor. (I have an Eizo 550i which doesnt sync at 15kHz) It is not a 'Flickerfixer' it just doubles the scan-frequency. (Beats me…
Yes, it did impress some of my friends (especially the Beach-Ball benchmark, I should have taken a picture of those gaping faces) I still use the program to show off at times. — Quinten
I really liked AIBB but according to that program my own Computer is about 1.98 % faster than itself. I Saved a module and used that as comparison base. Yes, I did double-check everything, all settings were exactly the same. So much for reliable tests… — Quinten
Actually it was my mistake. I omitted the UNIT keyword, thus both amigas were trying to serve on the same unit. It works fine now. I've got a suggestion though. It would be nice if there would be a .backdrop on NET: so the drawer icons could be left out.…
ParNet and OS 3.0?
Message #30146
I have been trying to use ParNet to access the HD's of my 500+ with my A4000. I think that ParNet doesn't work on OS 3.0 or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Does anyone have any experience with ParNet or is there a version that works with 3.0? –…
Brian, with version 2.0 you can tell MFR not to pop up in certain programs (tasknames) That would fix your problem. -Quinten
#Altitude Brush
Message #41057
Can anyone tell me how to wrao a brush around an object with Altitude in Imagine 1.1? I've tried several settings but all to no avail. I've tried to make the axis bigger, smaller and the same size as the object but I can't seem to make it. -Quinten
Eugene, I have the 68010 in my A500. If you don't play any games, it's a good idea to use that CPU but many games don't run with it. Actually the only reason I use it is that is speeds up Imagine. A picture that would take about 6 hous…
Here's a full translation of the text: THIS PROGRAM ONLY WORKS UNDER KICKSTART 2.0!!! ============================================== This program ist just a quick hack. It patches CEDPro 2.12 so that the screen will change displaymode to Productivity or SuperHires-Iterlaved depending on the given screensize. It also makes the program accept menu-shortcuts when…
Don, the problem is that CIM uses a special interface called HMI. This protocol is not available to users. So all I can say is that you are going to have a hard time developing this program since everbody might have different settings. Your program would have to mess around…
Don, that program is the second line in my startup-sequence. The thing is, that lots of chipmem is being used the system. So What I'm looking for is a program that will bind my memory into the system to survive a reset so that the system will find it before…
Memory nodes
Message #22523
I've got a real problem here. I Only have 512 K of Chipmem. When my A500 has finished booting I hav about 250K of chipmem free. I think the problem is that my ramexpansion is not auto-configurable (It's self-built). I configure the memory with a program that simply adds a…
