Thanks, Mike. Yeah, I knew John probably wasn't on CIS, but I posted the same note to Usenet, and I believe he is on there (somewhere). By the way, what can you tell me about Lattice C++? Is it a true C++ compiler? brent
Thanks, Larry. Actually, I've been on both CIS and Usenet consistently, but I've been away from my Amiga for a WHILE (I was serious about the dust). Work can just really burn you out after a while, especially when it's programming Windows applications. No flame intended, actually, I've come to…
#A1000 questions
Message #68246
I've been out of the Amiga picture for a while now, but I recently dusted off my 1000. Now I want to get caught up on the Amiga track as quickly as possible. I'd appreciate it if I could get some answers to the following questions. Please excuse any stupidity…
Call Waiting
Message #68220
Thanks to everyone who answered my question about Call Waiting. I was pretty sure it could be done, now I know it can… brent
#Call Waiting
Message #68115
Wow, it's been over a year since I've done any Amiga telecomputing. It feels good to be back, and I've got a question. I now have call waiting with my phone service (Bell), and I'm wondering how to turn it off temporarily via my modem, a Practical Peripherals Hayes-type. Any…
Thanks, Ariel, I think you are right. I had read about the -b option now being the default, but I'd forgotten about it. If you forget that you're compiling with that option, and you get the -b warning message, it certainly does look strange. All in all, though, I really…
Lattice bug?
Message #93527
I've been playing around with the new Lattice compiler, which I just received, and I've noticed what seems to be a peculiar bug with LC, the 2-pass compiler command. When using the -a option I get the following message: lc -ad prog.c option conflict. -b option ignored Has anyone else…
apl.68000
Message #63420
In case anyone is interested, I recently recieved the APL.68000 demo disk from Spencer Organization. Let me say I'm very impressed. It seems to be a complete APL system including shared variables, a full- screen editor, and an APL/ASCII terminal emulator. Support for simple Amiga graphics and sound, windows, and…

Mike, I'm just guessing, but it seems that you might be able to change the colors in the knob image structure *after* Intuition has initialized it, i.e. after you've added the gadget by opening a window or with AddGadget(). It's hard to be sure about this, however. It's not too…
#Turbo Interest?
Message #44512
Here is a note I received from Larry Kraft of the Borland Forum after inquiring about Turbo Pascal for the Amiga. He has given me permission to post his words here for the benefit of Amiga users. Please show your interest by responding to Borland directly. "GO BORLAND" now. We…

#World of Sidecar (sic)
Message #44070
Brian, Sorry I missed you (and the PARTIES) at WOC, but I looked at EVERYONE's nametag, and didn't see you. Oh, well. I heard an 'interesting' thing while at the show, and I'm wondering if you've heard it too. A C= rep demoing the Sidecar said that it DOES INDEED…
Okay Doug, I'll give it a try. Now, any idea what setup string I might use for a Signalman 1200 modem? I'm borrowing one from work to test this out, and I can't find documentation. Thanks for the Stack advice — too bad it's not mentioned in the docs… :-)…
Doug, Maybe you can help me, since you've apparently gotten TAG-BBS up and running… I've followed the documentation in setting up my Tag_xxxx files, and creating my directories. I moved the Tag_xxxx files and the .Text and .Help files to the 's' and 'TAG_System:tag' (my choice) directories, respectfully. Then, I…
I'll give it a try, Rick. Thanks. brent
Ultima Copy-Protection
Message #41956
Okay, can anyone here suggest a way for me to back up my Ultima III game? I've tried Marauder, Mirror, and QuickEA, all to no avail. This is bugging the %$#^&@ out of me since this game does lots of disk i/O, and I hate to use my only copy.…
Thanks, Alex, now where can I get a Toronto Star in Detroit? 🙂 I'm really planning to attend, now. I just got back from a Users' Group meeting where both Genlock and Sidecar were demoed. Everything looks great. I was EXTREMELY impressed with Genlock. What a fantastic tool! I was…
Hazy, SOunds like fun — I'm definitely planning to go, but WHERE exactly is the show being held? I want to make some reservations immediately. I'll probably just be going for Saturday-Sunday, but I'll try to find you if you'll still be there. Shall we all try to arrange a…

#Toronto Happenings
Message #41725
Brian, please excuse any noise — it's a bad line here. $64 Canadian sounds reasonable, is it close to the show? Where exactly is the show? Perhaps at the hotel? My interest is definitely up, but I'm wondering, will there be a lot of Amiga representation there? Also, are you…
#Requester Fixed!
Message #29183
Please disregard my last plea as I've (FINALLY!) solved the problem. It seems I somehow missed the short note in the Intuition manual which states that when using the AUTOKNOB on a proportional gadget, you must give a pointer to an uninitialized Image structure. Ooops. Hope I didn't trouble you……

Requester Paranoia
Message #29065
I'm having some problems with requesters, and I'm running out of people to ask for advice… could you give a try? I'm designing a filename requester with several gadgets including a scrolling list of filenames. Because I'm not sure that the application program will have a large enough window to…

Yeah, I agree with what you're saying about the Well's conferencing sw (NETI). I haven't found a way yet to read just selected entries from a topic. I'd swear I've been told there's a way, but I can't figure it out from the help online… I have to agree that…

Well Unix
Message #28286
When you said (in June 'A.C.') that you are trying to break through to Unix on the Well did you mean that you haven't been able to access Unix at all, or just in some specific way? You can most easily enter Unix 'mode' by typing !sh to start a…

Message #25605
Here is a fairly well substantiated 'rumor' which should be of interest to Lattice users. I'm an ex-classmate of John Toebes' and as such I like to keep in touch with him concerning the Amiga front. Recently he let me know that Lattice's new C compiler which 'should' be out…

Interlace (again)
Message #21866
There are a few questions I'd like answered once and for all, if anyone here is knowledgeable on the topic of video signal processing. I understand the fun- damentals involved with the Amiga's interlaced video mode. However, I understand that a standard television uses the same principles for generating its…

NextScreen
Message #18400
Charlie, you were right about the purpose of the Screen structure's NextScreen parameter. It reflects the depth arranging of the screens, and does not act merely as a list of screens. This is bad (for me). I would really like to know of a way to get a complete, dynamic…

#Window Wierdness
Message #18398
I'm having a peculiar problem with windows in a couple of my programs. Maybe someone else has shared this problem and can help me out. In both cases I've opened a window in a custom screen. Window flags include WINDOWDRAG in both cases. One window also has WINDOWSIZING and SUPER_BITMAP.…

You may be right about that, Charlie; it really doesn't matter for what I want to do, though. In any case I need to get at the start of the list. I'm going to try opening a window on the WB screen, getting its screen's address, then closing it and…

Talked to my old classmate, John Toebes (famed port'er of Hack), tonight. He says he's nearly done with the code for Hack 1.03, but that he's waiting on his partner for some of the graphic work. From the sound of things it should be a great game if he can…

#WorkBench Screen
Message #17572
Looking through the Intuition manual and include files, I notice that I can find my way through a list of screens by using the NextScreen parameter of the Screen structure. However, this only allows for one-directional threading, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to find the beginning…

SMART_REFRESH
Message #17442
Okay, here's the problem. I'm drawing a graphic image in a window which can be moved and resized. I'm using a SMART_REFRESH window, so the only thing I have to worry about is when the window is sized larger, especially after it is first shrunk. If this happens I get…

I have the Canon 1080A driver on a disk at home which I will try to upload tonight — I had many problems trying last night. I don't have a Canon printer, so I can't verify that it works; I just downloaded in case I decided to buy one. You…

Last I heard, Bob was definitely at work on VMCO for the Amiga. I would assume it will be released here in the public domain. Haven't heard from Bob in a while, though, so I wouldn't want to guarantee any of this. /brent * RR 13146
