Well, I'll check what you said. The article on BIX that I saw, and the majority of postings CLEARLY state the copyright violation was with the language NOT the product. I fail to see how a product that has gone through 4 major revisions cannot stand to its own copyright.…
Sorry, but the only thing that was thrown out was the DBase LANGUAGE, not DBASE itself. It's amazing how many people jump to this. Ashton-Tate could still sue over pirating or infringing on the DBASE program itself. Rob
I hope that comment was a joke. However you feel about companies' decisions is your business, but that type of comment is undeserved. Brown-Wagh has helped the Amiga greatly and it is certainly NOT their fault that they had to leave. I'm shocked that you make such a remark. Again,…
Benchmark and 2.0
Message #17586
When will a 2.0 compatible Benchmark come out? Can you offer an upgrade for M2Sprint owners? I'm SERIOUSLY interested, Rob
I'm afraid the problems are bigger than that. The editor uses ARP to launch the compiler, linker, and the programs. It does this with ARP's ASYNCRUN. This command DOES break in 2.0, guaranteed. In order to use the environment a replacement might be in order. I'll double check this with…
Hmm… I have a file requester we're using in Title Page, but… What is this going to be used in? (I don't come here often so wait a while for me to answer)

M2S Support
Message #16476
Leon, I'd like to take the time to make an apology, a serious one. I'm afraid you got things the wrong way. First, Martin has nothing to do with my remarks. Second, I'm not upset at your actions as such. I understand you are a business man, and as such,…
I'll restrain myself and not comment. Rob
Well, I guess you agree then because I'll I'm saying is that it is quite sad to see a good product dissapear. Es{ecially to be eaten by another one that well, isn't up to the same level.
Well, I haven't been on in a while, but I work with Martin on a regular basis, mainly beta testing (as we are releasing our own products), and I care to make a comment since I HAVE followed this BS all the way. M2S was pretty Sh**** about the way…
#M2S HAS BEEN SOLD!
Message #14494
Ok everyone I have an interesting bit of news… This is official… M2Sprint has been sold by M2S to Prefered Technologies. They can be reached at (214)-394-4503. This is no joke. Somehow our friendly M2S has "forgotten" to tell their reps to let us know. Pref Tech. claims to have…
GELS!!!
Message #69953
Hi there, I'm having some problems with GELs. I load a file in, create a mask, a save buffer, and all the needed junk. I display the file and it works. Now if I try to display a brush with less bitplanes then the screen it ERASES my data in…
PenPal error
Message #12249
Hi there, I have a bug report from a friend… Here goes… If you save a file with a name that is longer than the amigados limit, PenPal saves it with a short er name. That would be just fine except that when saving the icon it adds the info…
Makes sense!
Sure, but C-A Palette (at least MY version) crashes if you open it on a HAM or ExtraHalfBrite screen. Try it and let me know. AnyColor works and even adapts itself to HAM screens or EHB.
#INTERLACE
Message #58979
Hi! Does anyone know how to turn on interlace without using a 400 line screen? Something like setlace does. I need a normal 640×200 screen but with flicker! Weird but needed! Any help?
Hmmm…. That's interesting! The way I thought, I didn't think 1.4 would intefere with it… Oh well! Back to the drawing board! That's going to make A LOT v:of programs incompatible, isn't it?
#OVERSCAN!!!
Message #58932
Martin, I just thought I'd tell you since I once asked you about overscan, it is possible (in fact I've just added it to my program) to do overscan without going through intuitionbase, therefore making it compatible with 1.4. My only problem now is I can only use it to…
THANK YOU!!! You just saved me hours of problems!!! I wonder why C-A didn't include good programs and/or docs with the 2090A??? Could it be they are just plain STUPID!
Ok, thanx I got a new DV program that told me the sector number… Is tha number I use as a key? the sector number that it returns? They are between 0 and 16 all the time.
Thanx! Your the only one that anwsered honestly!
#EasyRequesters
Message #10433
Well, I've uploaded another set of Easy routines in AmigaTech that you guys might enjoy. This one allows you to set up easy Query (3 way) or Notice requesters as well as easy system and error requesters. Let me know what you think!

#BIX???
Message #56708
Hi, I just wantemeones opio BIX in general and their flat fee in particular. Any comments?
AAAAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! I'm going crazy! SOMEONE must know how to convert RGB To HSV!!!! I can't even find a book that does!!!
#RGB To HSV
Message #56573
Hmm… I've been having some problems with reconverting RGB To HSV even using REALs. I am beginning to think my formala is wrong. Do you think you could post the routine you had in PASCAL to do that conversion?
Hmm… Steve, I'm sorry to dissappoint you but I have some MAJOR problems. Although it is possible and simple enough to get HSV to RGB, RGB to HSV seems to be a tad TOO difficult. Saturation and Value go correctly enough, but hue needs more accuracy than I can possibly…
He he! I guess we work alike! I checked with DPaintIII and with Pixmate since Pixmate doesn't do immediate conversion but rather toggle. Just in case it affected it in the end. Even though I'm using integers it doesn't seem to have any serious deterioration on the final output. Although…
Hmmm… I wish I knew!!! You see I jus t had the program that cam with it. The problem I found is that the program shows how to do HSI -> RGB but NOT HSV -> RGB which is what most programs use. Don't worry, I've written one that does!…
You must be my guardian angel! How is it you ALWAYS come to my rescue! I appreciate the effort. If you succeed without REALs I'd be mighty grateful!
#Developers Conference
Message #9436
Martin, I'm not sure if I can ask you but… Was there anything worth mentioning at the Developers Conference? Anything that doesn't bind you that is!!! Wanna fill us in a bit?
