Thanks Don, It appears that the New Year has brought out the worst in several pieces of software. I've installed the New RTClock and will await the update to "Diskmaster". I really like the program and hope they fix it RSN! BR — Canton, Ohio
Don, Thanks! I'll get it today. I'm a little confused I guess because I thought the problem was isolated to "Diskmaster" since it is occuring on Ami 1000, 500 and 2000 as well. I'll still get the RTClock program and see if that does the trick for me. BR –…
Eli, For what it's worth, I'm having the same problem on my AMI 1000 with 1 Meg Insider Board and clock. I'm also "viewing" the files via Diskmaster. My problem seems to have begun right after New Year. BR — Canton, Ohio
#Date Stamp Problem
Message #29265
Since the New Year, every file I download is date-stamped Dec 99,9999. I have an Amiga 1000 with the Insider Board and clock. Any ideas as to what went wrong and HOW I might fix the problem? My communications program is WHAP but didn't think that it was involved. BR…
Chris, Will do. By now you understand the reason I was having problems describing just exactly where I currently was. Below level 7 you kind of jump down 2 up one down 2 etc! BR — Canton, Ohio
Chris, I didn't find an easy way to kill the RATS but managed. Both of my backrow people are carrying bows. The crossbowman is equipted with 3 slayers and 2 arrows the other has 5 arrows. Fire bombs are also quite effective IF you have any. I'm trying my best…
Paul, I have explored all the areas that I can get to on 9 and even have found a way down to 10 but there are several areas that I can not get to. There is a place with a gate that has a pit behind it open and closed…
Chris, Back on 6 , you might try sending something through the force field where you can't go yourself. Different folks have used different techniques but I just shot an arrow. When the arrow landed on the pressure plate I could "hear" the door open. I then went aroung and…
Chris, There are ONLY 4 riddles total. You can open the door with 3 and the 4th gives you the "bonus". As a "hint" let me say that YOU can't stand on that pressure plate and get through the secret door. You must have someone or something else stand there!…
Chris, First those "trees" are food and food is always nice. You might remember that room cause you may get hungry later and something "magic" happens when you leave that room and return. The secret passage your talking about can only be opened from below. You will have to find…
Maybe some advise from another amateur will help. Take ARC.EXE and rename it to ARC. Copy ARC into your C directory. Then if your real lazy like me you can use one of the Directory Utilities that allows you to select an ARCed file with your mouse and then select…

Thanks Betty. Glad to see you've been made a SYSOP here. I'm one over on FISHNET . Marlene Zenker drops by on occasion. I've owned my Amiga since Chrismas of 1985 but just discovering how to make it play my songs. I think the split Forum approach will make asking…
I've noted a couple of "flakies" myself. Using the "-" key from the key pad will erase the whole line.
While attempting to "get messages" from all my forums this afternoon, WHAP hung because AMIGAARTS was "unavailable". I was fixing lunch while my AMI was working and I know that it was still setting idle after about 20 minutes. This might be an unusual occurance but I thought I'd mention…
RIGHT ON!!! Bill Rogers — Canton Ohio
Unfortunately they would still ALL appear. The RM function is independant and lists any an all messages "marked" to your PNN irreguardless of the RTN function. When you enter the forum the message that there is X number of messages "marked" to you is present. Even in a manual mode…
I had the same problem and discovered that I had the entry point for the Forum set to Messages! instead of Forum! You may have overridden your global settings in an individual Forum and WHAP! appears to hang if it does not see the Forum! prompt. Changing it within the…
On individual Forums a user can through the OPTIONS Menu set where he/she will enter the Forum. On my home Forum FISHNET
#Info?
Message #288
One thing that I found was that WHAP would not read Forums that did not have the TOP set to Forum! I had one set to Messages and it would NOT read the MBs until I reset it. Hope this info is of help. +BR+
#THANKS!
Message #287
I've got WHAP up and running! I'll be sending the money order tomorrow. THANKS and Well Done! +BR+
I've now got it running! I even did this reply on WHAP! Thanks for the HELP. +BR+
Thanks for the advise. I'm up and running NOW! What's the line about a BLIND HOG and an acorn? Thanks again. +BR+
#WHAP!
Message #254
I'm having problems in understanding the directions for setting up WHAP. I'm trying to install the program in a directory that I created on my Hard Drive . I named the Directory "Whap" and put the files: Whap! and View! into it. I moved the font files into my Fonts…
I recieved one update from MSS. I think that I now have 2.0. How can I tell for sure? (Easy Way)? Bill Rogers – Canton, Ohio
I for one would really appreciate such scripts. Thanks in advance. Bill Rogers – Canton, Ohio
Thanks Don, just what I needed, consise easy to understand directions. Is there anyway to do this other than through the buffer? I usually have my buffer tied up in capturing my online session. Bill Rogers – Canton, Ohio
Thanks for your speedy reply. I will check back for Dons' reply. Bill Rogers – Canton, Ohio
#Upload Help
Message #93463
Well I made it over here. I am still having the same problems. I left a message to ALL in SN4, but haven't got a single reply as yet. I am using Scribble to write my messages. My online editor is set to EDIT. The problem seems to be that…

I am having a real tough time trying to reply to messages off-line and upload to the board. I have read SAVMON.hlp but still no luck. I am using ONLINE as my communications package. I make a file in the following format: (using Scribble) L(cr) All(cr) Test Message(cr) This is…
Thanks, I will give it a try. Bill

Message #84471
Is there any document within the forums libraries that could GUIDE a rookie to set up his communications package? I own an Amiga 1000, CTS Datacomm 2424 ADH Modem, and two communications programs – "ONLINE! 2.0" & "DIGA". I have read and reread the manuals and the more I read…
