That's for sure Bill. I've always felt that the time and experience you lose waiting for the price to come down, or technology to improve is TIME WASTED. Marlene
Well just another conflict of info! If the board is so much higher than the XT board then they're crazy to drop the 8088. Marlene
Steve, welcome to the Amiga Forum! Good to see you here. If there's any way we can help just let us know. Marlene
Andrew, you're only charged if you don't use $10 worth of time a month. (BTW, I thought it was $5). The advantage is if you buy any products thru CIS (eg. GO ORDER) you get a 10% discount). Anyway, as Don said FEEDBACK will tell you how to have it…
Actually, the only thing that is dumb is not getting the '286 card out the door. From what I had been told there won't be much of a price difference. If this is true, they're going to annoy people who spent the same bucks for XT compatiblity that they could…

Er, quons = questions in my last msg to you. Marlene
hehehehehe
Ben, problem is for people who don't have much ram to spare and are forced on big downloads to go to disk. Still lots of people out there with only 512K. Marlene

Hi Scott, welcome to the Amiga Forum. You need to hit RETURN after around 130 characters or CIS will truncate your line. Your msg only partly came through. If you have any quons, ask away – we're here to help. . Marlene

Mike, beware of internal ram expansion on the 500. You're much safer with an external box that has its' own power supply. Marlene
Remember I told you that CBM told a couple of stores on LI that they were stopping production on the bridgeboard in favor of the AT card!!!! Nobody ever listens to me, when will you guys learn?
Hi Mark, welcome to the Amiga Forum. There's a pgm in DL9 called CHGDSK.EXE that may be helpful. Also, depending on how much RAM you have, you can copy the c directory commands you need, the DEVS directory and LIBS directory to ram:, assign them there and not have to…
I'm not familiar with "Popcorn" as my Atari 800 days began about 8 yrs ago, and pretty much ended a couple of years ago when I got my Amiga. Marlene
Hi Sam, read INSIDE in DL2 for all the details on Insider. I've had mine since they came out and it's worked flawlessly. Marlene
Welcome to the Amiga Forum Scott. As of now there isn't an Amiga term pgm that supports Vidtex (sorry). BTW, before you try downloading with AmigaTerm make sure you are set at 8-N-1 as there is a bug in the manual giving the wrong settings. If there is anything we…
Mark, what game did you publish for the Atari 800? Marlene
Mike, I checked DL4 (where it used to be) and it isn't there anymore – download FIXOBJ.EXE (DL4) instead it will strip XModem padding and you don't need to load BASIC to run it. Rename it to FIXOBJ put it in your c directory. To use it type fixobj sourcfilename…

We both need clones John, there just aren't enough hours in a day. However, I suspect that one of each of us is more than the world can handle as it is . Marlene

Use the RM Function to read these messages.
Willie, I noticed in my msg to you that there was a misleading typo – in the line that reads "…are very old, haven been read…" 'haven' was supposed to be HAVE. Marlene
Joe – try either J&R Music or Leighs Computers in NYC – J&R would be the most likely to have a good supply of 2000's as they are probably the largest Amiga dealer in this area. Sorry, I don't have either address but Leighs is in the East 80's and…
Willie, Don hasn't read your msg yet – but I thought I'd put my 2 cents in . We don't erase msgs, unless they are very old, haven been received by whoever they were addressed to and do not contain any information. These are msgs that for eg. say simply…
Vincent, did you rename ARC.EXE to ARC and put it in your c directory on Workbench? Also, make sure the file you downloaded to deARC has a .ARC extender. CD to the disk and/or directory where the d/led file is and type ARC X filename — Let me know if…
Ben, I just noticed that there is yet another CoComm (3.0)! Are you going to AmiExpo? If so I sure hope you're not bringing your Amiga . You need a rest Ben, you're programming your little fingers to the bone. Rest Ben. REST! Marlene
Ben, it's merged – you know at this point when I go into the merge area my term pgm automatically goes to DL4 and downloads CoCo all by itself. Who says AI is BS . Marlene
Peter, check USRGRP.LST in DL1 – it's a text file so you can d/l it with any computer or read it online. You should be able to find a user group in your area (hopefully). Marlene
Doug, not true – it's still faster to read msgs at 1200 baud. The time you should be at 300 is in the CO (always). Marlene
John, there have been many bugs detected in Diga! – Aegis is upgrading Diga! and it should be ready RSN. If you want to direct and opinions, questions etc. to Aegis – they are members of this forum. I don't know their UserID offhand – but a RS;F;aegis at the…
Charlie, they're nice people and really supportive of the Amiga. Whenever I'm in Boston I take a ride out there. Marlene
Darron, are you creating msgs offline, downloading the msgs you want to read offline? Read SAVMON.HLP and EZSIG.HLP in DL1. Marlene
Rocco, have you tried VT52? BTW, why don't you use the IBM side to access the mainframe with an IRMA board. Surely you can convince Rick that they should give you an IRMA . Marlene

Barry, I see you left Bill the same msg so I'll delete the original for you. Marlene
Barry, see USRGRP.LST in DL1 for a fairly up to date list of user groups. Marlene
Thanks Charlie. Marlene
Barry, you can delete it – any msg YOU leave gives you that option. However, I'll forward the msg for you – no need to delete it. Marlene
Allen, BROwse thru DL4 there are some script files for Diga! there that may help. If it doesn't – let us know. marlene
Allen, I still don't know which term pgm you are using. Are you sticking in a 2 second delay before the Ctrl-C ? Marlene
Speaking of which, how much will the upgrade to Plus be for us present TxEd owners? Marlene
{Doug} {it must be CIS showing preference to sysops} or it could be SHIFT-[ SHIFT-]. {GRIN}
Robert, can you tell us specifically which EXE files you are having problems with. As to FIXOBJ – you are using it correctly right? eg. fixobj SourceFileName NewFileName Marlene
I saw Sheldon at AmiExpo(NYC). Haven't seen him around here for a long while tho.
Allen, what is AMIGA! ? Just out of curiousity – you're not using 1200 baud are you? The reason I ask is that then you would be asking it to Wait "CONNECT 1200" or 2400 whatever. Marlene
Rich, whenever there is a formal conference pending we put an announcement in the short bulletin – the bulletin will be displayed when you enter the forum if it has been updated. Marlene
Terry, thanks for offering to upload CommandReq but it is already here in DL9 COMREQ.ARC. Marlene
Hi Richard, welcome to the Amiga Forum. There are people in the CO at all hours day and night. Usually if you just go into the CO and wait a couple of minutes someone will show up. You can also SENd a realtime msg to a person who is in…
Ben, I downloaded the one from this morning? Is that a good version? It was already merged, I d/led it from DL4. Marlene
Actually GreG had already merged it – so what time can we expect the next upload?
Hehe – maybe we should give you your own DL! Listen Ben, you're allowed to take time out for eating, sleeping etc.. oh,well on my way to DL15…
