It's been a while, so I don't recall offhand, but I _think_ I uploaded a program I wrote (called blackbox) and included the source over in AmigaTech. It uses AreaElllipse. If you don't find it there, EMail me a reminder and I'll try to get you a copy.
it's not only conservative who hold that point of view. That there are many who think the only jobs available are 'beneath them' is clearly part of the problem.
Boy, you are terribly mis-informed. 1) By NO stretch of the imagination am I conservative. 2) I never said it was a particularly wise comment; as a matter of fact, I haven't commented one way or another on it except to note it isn't treason. If you had the sense…
Guess again 'legal eagle' and go read the constitution. You have no clue what treason is.
guess what, the description of treason is in the constitution. Killing (or attempting to kill) the president ain't it. Mayhaps you should learn to read before you try to write. Of course it's illegal, it ISN'T TREASON!!!!!!!!
except those who might want to be able to learn a job and aren't worth the $4.35/hr until they do.
Paul, You wish to determine what a doctor can charge for his/her services. You're unwilling to let them decide how much their time/effort are worth. Sounds like slavery to me. I don't see you volunteering to pay for these things you deem neccessary, only to tax everyone for YOUR perceived…
your point….if any?
and… You have point?
Since when?
Obviously you don't know what treason is. This ain't a monarchy or dictatorship whiere a perceived 'threat' against the leader is treason. Praise the Lord for big favors!!!!

Is 'profit' a dirty word? You seem to have trouble with it and would rather put a gun to MY head to take my monies. You, sir, have a VERY strange set of ethics.
What Steve's belief doesn't account for is the intereference of the government. Get the government OUT of business (and KEEP it out).

Paul, No doubt you'd like to enslave all the doctors to take care of all the people (that'd show 'em, puttin' on airs like they were better than most folks), eh? I notice that you want everyone ELSE to solve the problems, yet you're unwilling to contribute (other than verbal…

Have you considered that the reason there are so unskilled jobs available is because of the idiotic "minimum wage law"? Employers can no longer afford to train people because the government dictates how much they must pay for the priviledge of educating the uneducated.

Well, it will, at least, raise their self esteem!! THAT should warm the cockles of any liberal's heart.
In what way do you perceive wages to be a 'problem' now?

Message #173946
I see your understanding of the basis of the Libertarian party is a bit weak. The fundamental principle is: "the initiation of force is wrong". Of course, if you are going to start making assumptions that YOU know better than the rest of us what's good, you would be unwilling…

What things about it do you NOT like?
Jack, I'm sorry I don't know how to contact them online. I probably have some of the individual IDs at work, but I'm not there today. I apologize for the slowness in the responses, I'm running for congress and not getting much time online between working at our client's (deadline…
Yes, that's correct. The problem is that A4 is pointing at all the globals, and if you don't 'correct' it, none of the variables are going to makes sense. BTW, when _I_ run it using SAS, I get an error saying it's not a WB program.
#Network stuff for sale.

James, I'm using Oxxi's SW using the A2065 card, and have been so doing for a couple years.
Jack, Dunno how to do it with DICE. There is a GetA4() function in SAS.
Jack, The problem is that there is no guarantee of the value of A4 when the process starts. Further, it's not clear to me why you think the child will get a WB message.
Jack, You _should_ be able to find the offending code from the segment/offset information given. That you cannot 'break' on it (maybe you can, I don't know) wasn't what I was looking for. Quite often I find the problem just knowing where it occurred.
Jack, A little more information would be helpful. Are you running SegTracker so you can tell if the 'hit' occurs in YOUR code?
Kent, I don't know a lot. It showed up with 3.0 and I use it.
Michael, You have to do your own rendering after generating a "shadow mask"
You won't get the 'correct' number if you 128L
Steve, You really need to get the IFF spec. There is a bit in one of the words which tells you HAM.
Michael, executes faster than what? You're getting the wrong number.
Robert, Rexx on OS/2 can handle multiple hosts. Not many programs are written as such tho .
Eulogio, You _can't_ confuse ME . I'm already confused!!
Michael, 127L
Steve, Well, Eulogio gave you some bad information. The way HAM is encoded (I don't recall the actual bit patterns, but they're unimportant): There are two flavo(u)rs of HAM, HAM6 and HAM8, each uses two bits to encode whether to load a color from a palette of (16 or 64…the…
Bert, re: "How many heads do you have your drive set to?" Well, I did a 'read config' and got: Drive Name: 1548-15MZ1078404 Drive Revision: 3861 Cylinders: 1710 Heads: 1 Size: 1673111K (1633 Meg) Blocks per Track: 1958 Blocks per Cylinder: 1958 Park head where (cylinder): 1710
James, I hate to pick nits (yeah right….if you believe that, I've got a lovely bridge for sale ), but according to "The American Ephemeris and Nautical Alminac" page 531: "The Julian Day reckoning begins with Julian Day Number 0 for January 1, 4713 B.C., Julian proleptic calendar; the Julian…
Bert, MICROP 1548-15MZ1078404 3861 MaxTransfer = 0xffffff Mask = 0x7ffffffe Start Cyl = 2 End Cyl = 1709 Total Cyl = 1708 and from info: Taarna: 1632M 368498 2975764 11% 0 Read/Write Taarna As you can see it's not very full yet.
Bert, I installed one a few weeks back (single partition) and have had NO problems. I'm running on a 3000 however.
Christopher, Actually most of those backup 'tapes' connect to the floppy port.
How about Ability to change the palette between frames of an animation. Aspect ratios OTHER than Amiga and square (there ARE others being used out there) A way to 'texture' a picture
John, RELEASE1> guru 80000004 Alert Type: Dead End Location: 68000 Trap. General Error: Oh, Nothing in General. Specific Error: Illegal Instruction. Whatever progam you're trying to run has a bug in it.
Marc, You _did_ reboot after moving the icons from 'storage' to 'devs' didn't you?
Marc, How are you trying to access the floppies?
Robert, yes, the computer could be faulty. Another thing, the only 'red message' I've seen has some numbers in it. They're not there for the programmers health. If you tell us what they are, we MIGHT be able to induce what's wrong.
Robin, My 3000 SCSI has been _wonderful_ everything except a scanner that I've plugged in has worked (well an Apple SCSI CD-ROM didn't either). Last weekend I installed a 1.6gig HD … no problems., just plug, format, play.
Grant, If you upload the code, I'll compile it.
Michael, Get AutoPilot
Harry, I don't recall a non-working DIR, then again, I was getting updates directly from C=
Keith, I'd guess the 8250 but you say you've swapped it.
