#Duplicate File
Message #52785
Just thot you'd like to know: The files DEBUGR.EXE & DISASM.EXE in DL 9 are identical. ..Wayne..
Cheapo Modems
Message #50545
I've had great success with my Courier 2400 so far. It's a really nice modem! Of course, my phone lines aren't noisy, so I can't comment on how accurate the Byte report is about it having a low tolorance to line noise. There is also a new version of the…
Modems
Message #46260
I'm using the Courier 2400 from US Robotics. This is a really great modem and VERY hayes compatible. It even has in-modem help pages for those really obscure commands. One of the nicest features (IMHO) is the "X6" dialing mode in which the modem speed dials as soon as the…
Sounds depressing, Bela! And just when I was looking forward to having an Amiga Dealer in the area again! (My original dealer, Confuserland of Monterey, went out of business, ya know.) This Rick guy isn't any good, huh? ..Wayne..
Since you have dpaint, you can "normalize" a picture to work with dpslide by loading the file in question and then saving it with dpaint. It has worked for me in the case of DOZER.PIC, which dpslide would not show. As for the 3D pics, I'm not sure why they…
The problem is not the pictures, but DPSLIDE, which can only handle one type of IFF file. (It was written LONG ago when IFF was pretty new). Try one of the newer display programs, like SHOWPIC, in the DL's here. >>Wayne
#AB prog
Message #16998
I have just uploaded my preliminary IBMPC version of AB: my AmigaBinary packer/unpacker. I hacked it together in my free time the past few days using a VAX & VMS C plus Unix C as a double-check. Then I ported it DRC on the IBM to check out the short…

No prob, Bela. I did realize, however, that your parameter passing intentions were probably to give the functions a long literal rather than an pre-existing pointer as an argument, so I may have called your code "scum" unjustly. However, the aforementioned code macros do work for pointers and non-pointers alike.…

Hi Bela. Your code looks like it will work (in Aztec where int == word), but your routines are pretty scummy, even for C code. You are assuming that all pointers are stored in a long (and in the Amiga you are right), but it is better to avoid assumtions,…

The correct name is Saved Games (with the space, while upper/lower case makes no difference). Also, you need to label the disk HACK_game (use the relabel command if necessary, upper/lower case always optional) and that should do it for you. Did you forget the label? –Wayne * RR 11251
I guess it depends on the program used to display the IFF files. Do you use Dpaint or Images? I generally use DPslide, and it couldn't possibly care less if the file is too long. I thot that the IFF format was more forgiving, but it appears that I assumed…

AMIGBN/CHOP
Message #11199
Mike, Your problem with Aterm5 chopping the picture file too short can be kludged after-the-fact as follows: Type the command: copy * to nulls and enter a few nulls from the keyboard (Ctrl-@) followed by one ctrl-\ to end the file. You now have a file with nothing but nulls…

Compiling C Programs
Message #10977
One way to make such a simple program shorter is to use puts("string"); to print the string rather than printf(), because puts() only prints strings, while printf() has code to print all the hex/octal/decimal & float types, etc.

DPSlide Narrator
Message #10564
Hi Paul, A friend of mine would like to add a narration cabability to your DPSlide program. It would allow a text file to be specified, and whether the file should be translated/narrated, or simply narrated. The completion of the narration would then trigger the next picture, which would have…

ARC sources
Message #10563
Thomas, How does one go about getting some or all of the ARC source? I am interested primarily in the compression schemes, which I assume are public domain. –Wayne

#AmigaBinary
Message #10490
Yet another AB thot: The inclusion of LAR & ARC in the compression bytes seems too ambitious to me. Since these are multi-file formats in themselves, I feel they should be left to the user to unpack. Personally, I would like to get my hands on the Crunch algorithm used…

I believe that you also need to change the "From-capture" translate table to change LFs into CRs (change the byte at 0A into a 0D). This way, the ED files with only LFs will input correctly into the SIG or FILGE editor. –Wayne

Hi Bela! I'm sure I have msg #'s 249-1727 on the VAX at work, since I have been archiving everything here too. Unfortunately, I have been on vacation, so I have been unable to continue arch'ing (only reading). Thus, I'm sure I don't have #'s 2885-2984. Unless someone else can…

John, Be sure to use interlaced video in your star maps, not only for the increased resolution, but also for an automatic "twinkling effect". –Wayne

Hi Bob, I always wondered if SOMEONE out there preferred the 68k's argument arrangement. I find that the Intel method reminds me of most high-level language's assignment statements (e.g. AL := 5;) While Motorola's reminds me of COBOL (which produces subliminal feelings of dislike). Ah well, I should be able…
