Ed, Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately that number doesn't work anymore. But I forgot he had a CIS account, I'll just leave him a message. Thanks Clark | Williams –o–O–o– via George
XMODEM-CRC
Message #42117
Steve, Would you please point me to a location where I could get some information on X-MODEM CRC (especially the format of the frame), and/or how to use the XPR library, etc. Thanks in advance Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
Thanks Ron. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
CD/TV CD-ROM?
Message #40980
Anyone know what the format of the CD-ROM used in the CD/TV? It has a 40 pin connector. Is it an IDE? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
#Installing Amiga Unix
Message #40713
Hello All, I got a deal on an unlimited license for Amiga unix 2.1 and couldn't turn it down. Of course this is only a deal if I can get it working. Which so far I can't. I have an A3000, w/16MB Fast and 2MB chip and am using a…
Thanks Dean, I have temporarily solved the problem by making the IDE drive a dedicated BB device and removed the contention of the devices on the A4000. So far it seems to be working. I have never successfully gottem the A4000 to work using anything more than a virtual drive.…
BB & 4091 knwn probs?
Message #78353
Dean, Jerry, Thanks for the help on the 3128 boards the PALs worked great! Do you know of any problems with the 4091 and 386SX Bridge Boards? Building the virtual drive works fine, then transferring the system works fine but I can't boot from the drive nor can I execute…

Okay Robert, Tell us the name of the patch or upload it if possible! Thanks Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
#Termination ?
Message #127763
Hilary, It also depends on whether the controller card you are attaching the tape drive to has an external connector and whether you are going to be using that connector instead of using the daisy-chained ribbon internal connector. On some contollers the external chain requires its own termination and you…
Bob, Are you running an Amiga A3000? If so are you ABSOLUTELY SURE that you haven't mixed paged mode and static column zips? If you have, SETPATCH will NOT let you past itself. It will CRASH!!!! If you have mixed zips, then remove the paged mode zips (dump them on…
Hi Bill, Anita is her name. We are still in business as S.I.G.H. I'm doing some consulting and we have several Amiga products for sale which we produce (mostly have to do with Weather, WEFAX, DAVIS and HEATH interfaces, etc.), I'm consulting and recovering from a mild heart attack (in…
Bob, Check your memory chips and see if you are mixing Paged mode and static column ZIPs. If you are then 2.1 WILL NOT BOOT! Remove the paged mode and replace them with static column ZIPS. That should fix your problem! Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
Hi Bill! Yes–that's me! Long time no see, but I keep track of you here! Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
Brian Thank you for responding. I've done that already and it hasn't seemed to work. But I'll listen to any other suggestions! Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
Thanks for the response Michael, I installed MagicWB and when I insert an MS-DOS disk I don't get a PC0 icon. This happens only if the disk is NOT formatted. However the PC0: icon is in DEVS:DOSDrivers and has Active set to 1. CrossDOS does come up when I request…
#PC0: gone!?
Message #37722
Does anyone know whether MagicWorkbench screws up detection of PC0:? If so, what do you do about it? Thanks in advance. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
Andrew, Check with GPFax manufacturer in Australia, not SUPRA for the Class 1 software (although now it probably is not important). I don't know what the "best" software for the Mac is, but FAXstf from STF Technologies, Inc. (816) 463-2021 VOX and (816) 463-7958 FAX. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via…
Andrew, I have heard tell that there is a Class 1 version of GPFax software available for the Supra 144LC from the folks that wrote GPFax. I hope your decision not to purchase a SUPRA is NOT because you are angry with Supra. The LC works just fine, especially on…
Michael, What controller card are you using? An what machine are you using? I don't know that this will make answering your question any easier, but I'm just curious. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
C= 386 & Floppys
Message #113451
On the C= 386 BridgeBoard technical specifications it says it supports up to 2 floppy drives "of the same type". Does this mean that you cannot use a 3.5" high density drive and at the same time a 5.25" high density drive? If this is the case! Should I be…
Larry, I'm still not convenced. The lack of ability to exchange files with anyone (unless they are running YFT) is just too debilitating. There are much better programs for doing genealogies. At least two of them do have GEDCOM support and one of them evens attempts to convert YFT to…
Chris: Just a note after using YFT for a while. This program is not BUG free and the printing capabilities are pretty awful (I have to change both printer and PREFS to get the proper output as an example). The ISAM encoding sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I'm using YFT…
The 25MB is what it expands to, I think. But I'll know when I get it.
Betty, There is PasTeX, FIGs, and MetaFont. They are all public domain as near as I can tell. No one has been able to tell me different. They expand to a lot of floppies (25MB on a harddisk). I would be happy to upload these if someone will get me…
Bob, Yes you are correct. However it only responds with the CNG if it hears a carrier request signal which is sent by the dialing FAX. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
Thanks Betty, Please look and see. I'd love to have this product. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
Sean, If you have it on floppy disks, I'll send you the postage and upload the thing myself. That would be cheaper for you, and help me out tremendously. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
#Where to get PasTeX
Message #35292
Does anyone know where I can get ahold of PasTeX 1.3 other than across the internet? I have searched CIS and BIX and couldn't find PasTeX. My other choice is to contact folks in Germany (expensive, slow, etc.). AHWBA Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
#PasTeX location
Message #103602
Does anyone know where I can get PasTeX 1.3 (and/or latest and greatest other than an ftp.uni-passau.de /pas/amiga/tex/pastex13? I don't have an internet feed for the ftp, and can't find it on CIS, or BIX. My other choice is to get intouch with Karl Skibinski, but that over the big…

GPFax
Message #103426
Randy, When you say you did not install the Gpfax.driver, did you place the gpfax.driver into DEVS:Printers, and then select PRT option from OPTIONS on the GPFAX options list? Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
Reinhard, My version of GPFax is 2.23. (Not the Supra version) When I "startup", my printer driver in SYS:Prefs is set to NEC_PINWRITER. I'm using the parallel port as the printer output. My printer graphics in SYS:Prefs is set to (Top-left to bottom right): Ordered, Fraction, Positive, Horizontal, Black &…
Reinhard, I'm using an A4000 with GPFax and a Supra FAX Modem. Let me know the problem and configuration and I'll try to dup your efforts on my machine. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
Christian, How about: TRIM$(UCASE$(Lastname.CD)) LEFT$(", "+FirstName.CD, LEN(FirstName.CD)+2*ABS(LEN(FirstName.CD)>0)) If your file had the following entries: Rec 1)LastName.CD ==> Busse FirstName.CD ==> Christian Rec 2)LastName.CD ==> Software Industry & General Hardware FirstName.CD ==> Then the output would be: Busse, Christian Software Industry & General Hardware Hope this helps, Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O–…
I'm sorry John, I thought the confusion was because of the translation to upper case caused by the un-initialized variable and the fact that host names are case sensitive. Actually I get a slightly different output (typo?) Try1: T.DeepThot (note the capital 'T') Try: 1 (not 0) I think that…
Ken, I think this is just a matter of HOW you look at what you are trying to do. There is nothing wrong with making these single entries (LOGICALs) and doing a QUERRY for Comedy Field Set true and SocialCommentary Field Set true, etc. Whether these are stored in an…
John, >It looks like the problem is related to upper/lower case in the second >level substitution. I couldn't see this documented anywhere. From Page 3-3 of the C= ARexx manual (First paragraph after symbol definitions): "Simple, stem, and compound symbols are called variable s and may be assigned a value…
Sean, Please if you can upload the latest and greatest version here, or tell me where on the Internet you found it, I'd love to have it. I'll give the fonts a shot and see if I can help you out on the install and running. Thanks Clark -|- Williams…
PasTeX??
Message #100448
Has anyone seen PasTeX? Is it commercial? Just curious since there are tw two TeXPlus files listed in AmigaUser WordProcessing/DTP but no PasTeX. Any help would be appreciated. Clark Williams
Tom, I'm still here. I'd love to see the macro. Thanks! Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
RJ, I'm not sure what Art was trying to do exactly, but you might try the following code at the line which currently reads: 'COPY RAM:LastSet.dat S:' replace that with the line 'DATE > S:LastSet.dat' I think tha Art was just trying to update the current date as the 'old'…
RJ, Sorry I should have posted that question to the person you were posting to! I think you need an END END EXIT as in END END EXIT It looks as though the second end is missing. Try it and see what happens! It shouldn't hurt anything. You need to…
Robert, Where is the closing end for this DO? |–DO | 'AtomClock' paramstr | IF rc = 0 THEN | |—-DO | | 'COPY RAM:LastSet.dat S:' | |/* change this for your hardware clock if necessary */ | | 'SETCLOCK SAVE' | |—-END |–EXIT GetMonth: arg filename CALL OPEN('datefile',filename,'R'); datestr…

Art, I should have left a smilie face on my last message. It is an anoyance to not have the control of a document which is one of the major ways which one refers to a document. That is, a word processor needs to be able to refer to a…
Art, You can't loop in a macro EXTRACTing one paragraph at a time, because when you get the last paragraph, there is no way to know if you crossed a page boundry. The EXTRACT will grab the entire paragraph. You have to test the page and see if you have…
Thanks Art for your quick reply…unfortunately the EXTRACT command is only good to a paragraph. Here then is the challenge. Extract a page of information. Just one page. Nothing more and nothing less! I do not think it can be done in ProWrite with existing ARexx commands. I suspect that…
#ProWrite & ARexx
Message #53416
What does one have to place in the ARexx command: Xyz = GetClip("???") to get the current paste clip into an ARexx variable? I've tried '0' and '' and d2c(0), etc. None of these work. The ARexx command is case sensitive, so what is the secret??? Thanks Clark Williams Clark…
