Don, I also apologize for duplicate messages. Seems that This TAPCIS had problems leaving messages last night and didn't think they got through the first time! As far as the link goes, I am using a Pharmacy computer system that prints a list of customers via a serial cable. I…
ASCII download PD?
Message #18260
Is there a program in any of the libs here that could handle an ascii 9600 baud download with 8,N,1? I am downloading via serial from another computer and I wish to asave it to an Amiga file. I could do it to an IBM and transfer if my awrite…
FFS THANK YOU ALL!
Message #18259
I know that thank you's are not suppose to take up valuable space but so many people helped me set up a SSCI 20 meg with the 1.3 FFS that I wanted you people to know that you really beat PL**K this time! Thanks! The PL**K people didn't even bother…

1.3 FFS on dh2:?
Message #18258
Khalid, THANK YOU !!! I don't know what the problem really was but I used your mountlist which, except for order, looked like mine. I then quick formated and everything looked OK. I then full formatted and I got a Guru! I tried again & IT WORKED!!!! After 2 weeks…

Don, I found out that it automatically mounts dh2: without RES2:. So there's got to be some reason for RES2: ! I just have Dh2: in my mountlist and ffs the whole thing!!!! I haven't run into any problems yet but I want to know if I will. Someone said…
Betty, I went to the one in Chicago and was not impressed in the least. There was the guys with the puppets, the guys dressed as doctors, kids going up to vendors and asking real professional "What's the highest score" questions, seminars that were suppose to tell you HOW to…
Larry, OK….So if there was not a Word Perfect, Do you think we would have an Excellence now? Maybe in a year or so….MAYBE. I agree whole-heartedly that I would prefer a product like Dbase to be re-written utilizing the capabilities of the Amiga. HOWEVER, even a port would draw…
Larry, see my message to Steve about sysops/forums. I think you might agree with that philosophy….? Jerry
#sysops/forums
Message #7015
Steve, I agree totally. Sysops are not gods (he said while glancing for the bolt of lightening..) My point is not opinions. My point is this: I want the Amiga to be a powerful & accepted computer in all fields that it can be. I think the membership of the…
continued…… 4) We can talk all we want to whether it's here, Plink or TONS of other BBS's, BUT WE MUST SHOW A FORCE OF CONSUMERS! I had tried to get a pettition up for Dbase development on the Amiga. Instead of people looking at a Big Boy developing for…
Ben,et al., As this discussion is wrapping up, let me enter a few observations: 1) The header on this thread is Superbase Pro. C'mon guys, ever think of changing a thread name when we get into a philisophical discussion? 2) It seems to me that majority (not all) of the…
Ben, Pro is considering (seriously) taking off the dongle. I think they will. There are a few other things in the works that will make applications not require the dongle. I have not heard any dates on this but it is RSN. As far as protection goes, why not assign…

#Superbase Pro Anyone?
Message #5454
Betty, I have talked to Mr Browning about developing a pharmacy package using SuperBase Pro. He has been very helpful. He said that Tim could help me out a bit. But wait, Is Superbase Pro Dongle protected????? What about on the PC? How do they copy protect that? I would…
John, Especially spending time talking of others products AND NOT GETTING PAID????????? ARE THEY CRAZY?????? Jerry

#AmiExpo Comments
Message #884
Too bad you missed R.J.! He was GREAT! The demo of the dancing fools was, well, unexpected and sensational! He is a great speaker and has alot going for him. He also imparted his spirit into most of the attendees. As for the seminars, I do not see the $5…
#AmiExpo Comments
Message #704
Joe, I went to Ami Expo in chicago and would like to make a few comments if I could. This was the first Amiga show I have ever been to. I have an A2000 with 3meg, 20 meg drive on PC side and 20 meg on the Ami side. I…
John, Bill, Bob & I had lunch on Saturday at some sidewalk greek place …great gyros!! I thought the "lecturers" weren't getting paid. That explains the poor quality. I think that will hurt the amiga. People tend to look at a show like "AMI EXPO" as being a showplace of…

Message #381
Missed you at the show (but then again, you missed a few CWAC meetings…..8)). I kept browsing around to see nametags—-didn't see anyone from CIS there…That seemed to be a bad word at the show. Did you make it to any seminars. I went to the one on animation and…
Don, "OF COURSE NOT!" So says Discovery….. Fine people there…() Jer
Don, Two more new disks were tried at the dealer's on their machine and the same thing happened. See my message of the "great" service I got when I asked Discovery about it…. Anyway, my guess is that they have a problem…..a BIG PROBLEM with the new arkanoid!!!! Jer
Discovery Soft TERRIBLE!
Message #133818
I called Discovery Software yesterday at my expense to question two bad Arkanoid copies. "Technical Support" answered and said it was a virus on my machine. I told them that it was also tested on another machine with two other copies. He said they also had the virus then proceeded…
Arkanoid Problems!!?
Message #133702
I just purchased the NEW arkanoids. I have a 2000 with 3 megs total courtesy of Micron. I had purchased 2 copies of arkanoids and both do not want to boot up. All I get is a gray screen with the disk light constantly on. I tried re-booting and nothing.…

Ron, Of course! BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!! If enough interest in the Amiga is to be had I would think it was from the users. Obviously only 150 Amiga users are interested in their machine!!!! Where are the 10,000 that are on this forum???? Messages to ashton via…

#Amiga's Pathetic!
Message #128845
Yep….I thought so… A lousy 25 cents and the users (except for 150 of em) will not send in a signed petition for Ashton Tate to port over Dbase to the Amiga. Here's a list of WIMPY excuses why Amigoids shouldn't: 1) I'm too busy… (yea…sure) 2) I don't use…

DMCS player?
Message #126169
I have both sonix & soundscape (not DMCS). Is there a "player" utility out there for DMCS or an utility that converts DMCS music into either sonix or soundscape format (preferably sonix)….?

Andy, The petition is in DL2 on this forum (I believe as "ashton" or something like that ?). It's a good idea but what I am shooting for is VOLUME VOLUME VOLUME! They need to see LOTS of signatures! That's what will impress them. I want everyone who is in…

Rick, THANKS! I hope that others will follow your lead….That brings the total up to about 130. If some of the others come in soon we could hit the 1000 mark. I'm looking for 5-10000. I hope I am not dreaming….
