Kevin, I've been trying to poke around in Autoshade, "creating" texture maps, etc., but I've been having some real problems with the SET TARGASET command. Autoshade doesn't seem to like to work with Tmode. I usually have been working at 512×486 and I'm I'm not going into a video system, so I don't think I need genlock. Could you give me an example of what a Targaset string should look like for Autoshade? I know I should take this over to the Autocad forum, but I'm not a member over there. There's another thing I should get around to doing.<g> Roger D.

Kevin, I forgot to include that I'm using a Targa+ 16/32. Roger D.

Roger, Make sure you have Truevision's Targa+ ADI driver (the one that lets you run AutoShade, AutoCAD and 3D Studio), which works with TMODE. If you must use the Targa emulation mode, then you're limited to 512×482. You'd do a SET TARGA=247 (assuming installed @ address D000, default i/o of 220), and SET TARGASET=T32P241E (id's board as Targa 32, 2×241 lines, E=overscan), then run TPLUSINI T32.INI. Do not run TMODE after this, at least until you no longer want Targa-compatible mode. Since I use Truevision's driver for this, I don't need to play around like this anymore.

Thanks Kevin, Got it running. To your knowledge is RDPTARGP.EXP 33,294 03-20-91 the most recent version? Also, do you if there are any special settings to get into Truevision's BBS? I've tried with my modem and someone else's and every communications software I can get my hands on with no luck. But after I said that the last time someone came on and said it works fine. I called back immediately to blank screen again. I must be doing something wrong! Thanks again. Roger D.

So I'm just a somebody, huh? I was logging on the Truevision using PROCOMM. The setup I was using was: ASSIGN S1 "1-317-577-8783^M" ; phone number SET BAUD 2400 ; configure line settings SET PARITY NONE SET DATABITS 8 SET DUPLEX FULL When logging on, you will get a line of garbage. Hit return to syncronize. Enter "truelink" as login name and as password. Case is significant. At next login prompt, type in "NEW". That should do it for you. "Somebody"

Roger, Autodesk's RDPTARGP.EXP is that date. Truevision's RCPADI driver is more recent. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
