Keith, I feel very important that a computer bigshot like yourself would take the time to help a new user out. Why is your program not a commercial one. It is nationally recognized as one of the best (so I am told). I got my copy in Portland Oregon but I live in Vancouver B.C. so I don't really have a local dealer to turn to when I have a problem. Thanks again. I will contact you if I still can't get the stuff to work. Rick Herbert.

Keith, while you're in a good mood … 😉 How the next update coming? You've got some serious competition from JRcomm, you know.

Keith, I started a message and was cut off with a bunch of funny symbols. so I don't know if you have read what I first wrote. Anyway, second try, the program copy does NOT work properly. It has no Access!me or Anything!me file on it. I would really like to get a copy that works properly. If I can get one from you it would be great. If you can, let me know your address and how much $$$$ you want for a nice authentic version including how to make the thing go. One last thing, the modem I got (SUPRA 2400zi) came with a disk to "install driver" and "modem modify" I don't know if I screwed something up when I was bungling around with these. Thanks, Rick Herbert

Rick, The most recent version is available here in the telecomm LIB as "ACC142.ARC" and should have everything you need in it. Or if you prefer, the address is Rt. 2 Box 261 Goodview, Va. 24095 The ShareWare registration fee is $25, but I only ask that you send that after you've tried it and decided to use it (ie.. decided it's worth it). If you do want a version mailed to you, try to send me a blank disk, and self-addressed disk mailer with return postage and I'll get it to you. Keith

Rick, There is a very active Amiga user group in Vancouver. It's called Panorama, and has regular meetings twice a month, on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. The meeting place is BCIT on Willingdon in Burnaby, at 7:30. The next meeting will take place on July 12. Please feel free to come out to a few meetings to see if you like it before paying to join ($25/year for new membership, $20/yr for renewals). We have two types of meetings, 'general' and 'programmers', the genral being on the second Wednesday of the month, and the programmers being on the fourth Wednesady. The programmers meeting has a 'side meeting' for beginners, where a lot of your questions will be answered. There are also special interest groups that meet on other evenings. If you decide to drop in, please look me up. I'm usually in the 'smoking room', which translates to just outside the door. -larry

Larry, Thank you very much. I am a new user and I have more questions than you could imagine. I just may have to drop in. I know the Willingdon area but BCIT is a Fairly big place. If you happen to read this before the 12th maybe you could leave some specific directions. Thank you, Rick Herbert.

Rick, Since I am a sysop on this forum, I am usually on every night (I miss a few, especially on meeting nights). The meeting is in room 129, an auditorium in the 'main building'. If you are going south from Canada Way on Willingdon, take the first left. As you drive in to BCIT, the big building on the right is the one you want, and room 129 is at the rear, north end. Can't miss it… look for a bunch of compter nerds. <grin> -larry
