I'm always puzzled by those who confuse the tool with the creation, the art with the artisan. Commodore has no control over the games created for and played on the Amiga, and I think reasonable people understand that. But this thrust to force or convince others to be "Politically Correct"…
Mike -here, even as we "speak". As you can imagine, this has a great motivation for us — our registration database in the UK office is directly affected by this inability! By the way, you may wish to direct some of your questions to the technical support line there. Oxxi's…
Mike — I have passed your gripes/questions on to the programmers here. I hope we can have a satisfactory answer, even a fix, for your problems soon. Regards, Pat Cummings @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Michael -features which make using it in a network (shared file) environment chancy, if not dangerous. The network version of the program is in development here, and has a very high priority for us. That disclaimer out of the way, yes, SBPro4 can be used in a network environment. I'm…

Obviously, our highest development priority is with the Superbase Pro4 product. Other development plans are subject to re-evaluation of the expected return for the development dollar — in other words, I don't know yet… Regards, Patricia Cummings @ Oxxi (310) 427-1227

I have passed this report along to the development team here. One thing we have noticed in the past month is an increase in reports of problems with systems running Version 2.04 (Rev 5 or lower) Workbench in ROM. These reports have been communicated with West Chester, and the "non-official"…
I have passed this request on to the people who are now doing development on the Amiga Superbase product. Regards, Patricia Cummings @ Oxxi (310) 427-1227

The offices of Precision Distribution in the UK will be closed for two weeks to allow operations to be transferred to the new location. During this period, technical support will not be available from the UK office. Support by telephone, FAX or letter is still available from the US offices.…
We have also had the Installer fail with GVP hard drives on GVP controllers -not sure why, but it seems pretty consistent. Regards, Patricia Cummings @ Oxxi (310) 427-1227

Oxxi has plans for upgrading Superbase Pro4 in several ways, and one major wish is to stomp the known bugs. We can do this best if you communicate them directly to us at one of the two offices. I'm sure old bug reports and beta reports are included in the…

Our intention is to make the transition from technical support at Precision to technical support at Oxxi as seamless as possible for users. This includes honoring all extended service plans listed in the registration base. It may take a little time to get everything set up here, but I believe…

Oxxi's technical support policy for the former Precision products is approx. the same as the US Precision support policy. The first 90 days of telephone technical support are fre. This period starts at registration or first request for support. After the initial 90-day free period, users have two options. Further…
Yes, Oxxi will have a presence here. My name is actually Patricia Cummings. Everything after that is, as Anne McCaffrey always points out, "subject to change without notice."

Hi! This is Martin Taillefer, I used to log on here quite a bit when I was working on M2Sprint, up until last year. I would like to get in touch with a sysop to discuss variousa things. As it is unlikely I'll be able to read any message base,…

Message #36467
ATTENTION AMIGA ARTISTS! Oxxi/Aegis is looking for a few good men (and women) to produce original art for an upcoming product release. Time is of the essence on this project, so prompt reply is requested. We also need 2-D and 3-D animation people interested in possible product and animation production.…
Jim: I am always glad to help. Here is a piece of code which I experimented with for doing mutual exclude gadgets: IF (gad = GadOne) THEN WITH GadTwo^ DO SetAPen(rp^, 0); RectFill(rp^, LeftEdge, TopEdge, LeftEdge+Width, TopEdge+Width); END; OnGadget(GadTwo^, win^, NIL); OffGadget(GadOne, win^, NIL); ELSIF (gad = GadTwo) THEN WITH…
Hi Jim: I realise your message was for Steve but I thought I might be able to help. The proper way to disable/enable gadgets is with OnGadget()/OffGadget() and it really works, I checked. However, here is the problem the text is rendered again when you issue a call to OnGadget()…
