#AREXX trouble
6 messages in this thread
I wrote AREXX script file for adding ripple effect to VISTA-generated
frames. But it doesnUt work well. Even number frame is processed as I
intended. But Odd frame does not. Why ? IUm not sure, but I guess mistake
is frombuffer- operationerror Please advise me. I have one more problem.
Every frame is saved as 24bit IFF. RENDER Arexx command is explained in
manual that it converts files to HAM-E files….I want 23color
D.Paint-readable IFF.

am not good at writing Arexx. So, I edit sample in Image
Master DISK2.
Yasuki Misawa,
It looks to me that you are not deleting the first frame, and so may be
running out of memory (unable to load the second frame)
The most recent versions of Imagemaster allow you to render any Amiga mode
as well as HAM-E or DCTV. It also sounds like you need an update to the
program; call our international sales line at 406 367 5513 to obtain the
latest software.
You don't need the jackin command; that command is not used the way you
have it in your script.

Thanks for your quick reply. I will call to int'l line.
And if you do not mind, could you please give me FAX number of user
support. Because your business time isu mid-night in Japan.
User support does not have a fax number; there is one fax number for the
entire company, it is (406) 367-2329. If you fax us a question, we may
answer it by mail, if we answer it at all. Technical support is generally
voice only, and then only by calling in, not out.
We just now went to a 24-hour fax (we used to run it only during business
hours) so you shouldn't have any trouble sending a fax to us. It may be
better if you do; because Mike will get to see it before you call, then
have time to consider your questions.

Thanks, Ben. I caleled Int'l Sales Ddev for Upgrade and send letter to
them. As for FAX, I understand and will use this service.
Yasushi,
please read message #37611, in which Ben relates a couple of important
facts about buffer numbers, the 'load' command and the current buffer.
Also, here's a helpful tip: when your message includes a section which you
don't want CompuServe to reformat, like a listing, make sure you add a
space at the start of each program line. This will ensure that what you
write as:
options results;
address ('IP_Port);
trace intermediates;
doesn't come out as:
options results; address ('IP_Port'); trace intermediates;
Welcome to this section. I'm sure you will appreciate the speed and
contents of Ben's replies.
Blaq!
