proff now in the DL's
Message #8485
I have just posted the source, documentation, and executable files for "proff" to the DL's. "Proff" is a text formatting processor that is based on the FORMAT utility described in "Software Tools" by Kernighan and Plauger. This implementation was written by Ozan S. Yigit of the Dept. of Computer Science…

Bela … Thanks for the update on the MicroForge products. Seems like their "Developer" prices are about right considering the amount of competition, "newness" of the machine, etc. On that note, however (FLAME ON): I really hope this whole business of "Developer" vs. "Non-Developer" doesn't catch on with other companies.…

Bela .. I just got their phone number today. It's 404-949-5698. I called today, but all the technical types were out "beating the bushes" according to Shelly, the young lady that I spoke with. She did say that they had some of the hard-disks available NOW … wasn't too sure…

#DPaint bug #2
Message #4391
Well, it may not be perfect, but I still think DPaint is a 6 on a scale of 1 to 5 … love that program! Here's a "feature" I ran into the other day, and thought I'd let you know about it for (hopefully) some future release. I was in…

Online! problems
Message #4390
I've been using Online! for several days now, and overall, am quite pleased with it … especially considering this is its 1st release. I am having a couple of problems though, and am looking for some advice. First, the various terminal emulations don't seem to be working at all. I've…

John … well, gee, since you asked … how about a "Time Machine"? You could include the proper motions, etc. of the objects (stars, galaxies, whatever), and allow the user to enter a "time compression" factor, log/linear scale setting, and so forth. Then the user could watch the stars move,…

Sheldon … I've had no trouble with DPaint loading GraphiCraft pictures from DF1:. On the other hand, GraphiCraft takes a veeeerrry looooong time to load a DPaint created/updated pics … we're talking several minutes, here! All the time, the drive access light is on, but the drive seems quiet. After…

Developer's Kits
Message #2715
Got a question or two about the Developer's Kit. I finally got the package from CBM (V1.0 stuff, of course … sheeesh), and would like to setup a reasonable development environment for a 512K, 2-drive machine. What's the best way you've found to partition the files, libs, etc? Can the…

There is a new player in the 68020 piggy-back-board business! I talked to Tom Sargent, Persident of "IO Inc." today. They have a 68000/68881 board that replaces the 68000 available. It doesn't have provisions for on-board RAM or independent (faster) processor clocking like CSA's board does, but they are about…

Message #2309
Bela … Right you are on the 68020, but you *can* just "drop in" a 68010 if you have V1.1 s/w according to Bob P. at CBM (opening the Amiga case voids your warranty though). The CSA '020 board is $1480 (quantity of ONE); $1985 with the 256K. I dunno…

Michael … thanks! I had heard that, but had forgotten. This is not the end to the story though. I tried out GraphiCraft V1.0 (the released version) today. DPaint has no trouble picking up a picture generated by GraphiCraft … the picture comes up right away. If you try bringing…

Some DPaint observations
Message #1721
Interesting that there is no DPaint icon. Not reading the instructions first (but making sure the floppy was protected), I tried to click it up. Doesn't work. After you look thru the booklet for 20 mins. and find nothing on how to IPL the puppy, you remember this small cardboard…

#Deluxe Paint has shipped
Message #1676
Picked up Deluxe Paint by Electronic Arts last night. Yes, it *is* finally shipping. The location was Computerland in Campbell, CA. DPaint comes with a 31 page booklet that gives a flavor for what the program will do, a few "experiments", and a terse *keyboard* command summary. There is also…

#Msg Format Apology
Message #42527
(Sigh.) The messages that I posted titled "SuperAmiga" really look terrible! I had them reasonablly well formatted before I sent them but I guess the CIS editors don't respect leading spaces and such. Guess I'll have to wait until CIS gets around to sending me the User Guide that I…

[here's the rest of SuperAmiga] " I called CSA and spoke with Pat (Patricia). Their board is available in several flavors: with the 68020 & 68881, she quoted $1480 and 1 wk ARO; with the RAM, its $1985 and 3 wks ARO. She said you can also get it without…

Hi – " I'm new to CIS, and I've only had my Amiga for a week, so bear with me if I commit a faux pas or two. Thought I would start a bit of discussion about a posting by Bob Pariseau (CBM) that I got from the USENET Amiga…
