BBS
Christopher,
I've kept Viva! Amiga! running for almost 6 years with BBS-PC! and am
reluctant to change unless I can take a big step forward. Do you have any
details on Proteus or know where I can get them? I'd sure like to see a
features list, perhaps an installation and maintenance demo module and, of
course, info on how to reach its creaters.
I come from the mainframe world where I have been used to refering to it
as "overlapped I/O" for 25 years. Overlapping I/O with processing or other
I/O is one of the things multi-tasking is all about. It provides maximum
throuput for all data entering or leaving a computer. I kinda took it for
granted that Amiga programs would use overlapping techniques only to be
disappointed. One of the biggest disappointments is Whap! which brings the
serial port to a dead stop while it writes data to a disk file, even worse,
to SLOWLY fill in a wedge in the file download pie chart!!
