Well you've got a good point, but I have found them to be a boit on the slow side to respond via CIS. I've got a couple of questions myself to ask, so I'll see how it goes. OOOOPS just noted your message date. my excuss is that I'm testing AutoPilot and am still learning. Any way I hope that the '040 is going good. What did you by it for eg Raytracing etc.??

Martin came back. I bought '040 to make Autopilot go faster 🙂 Actually Lightwave is my pass time. –Paul

Great! Your Autopilot must be doing Mach 3! OR You must be doing Mach 3 on Autopilot! 🙂 Unfortunately Lightwave is beyond the ken of us PAL users, sigh…… Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Amiga-Via Falnet.APb

Laurie, if you have some questions for Inovatronics, ask away! I have been out of touch for two months, unfortunately, but I am now back "on-line" in every way. – via Whap!

Thats great, hope it wasnt for ill health or anything 🙂 First, I am using the APP2 calendar via the WBench Startup drawer on WB2.04. I get a requester saying that App2 has not "returned". I select Cancel and it runs ok but I don'nt understand the requester. Second, when the Calendar is going there is a message in the top bar warning that there is no TEXT …..Mmmmmm file dir or something. But it still does save the text I enter into various days Third, there is a really good Budget deck that came with CanDo that is a Demo version. Can I get the full version via CIS or could you point me in the right direction. Thanks for getting back. PS if you are running WB2.04 you should check out Steve's new programme called Autopilot for CIS. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Amiga-Via Falnet.APb

No, I wasn't absent due to poor health. I am now living in Germany, and telecommunications seem to just move a little more slowly here. (<<– see previous sentence: Understatement of the Year.) CanDo applications do not easily and fully "detach" once they are run from Workbench. It is much better to run CanDo apps from your user-startup rather than from the WB Startup drawer. The Calendar program is looking for a specific text directory, but if not found, all is well anyway. To really understand this, examine the Calendar program with CanDo, or a print-out of the deck. The really good Budget program "demo" has never been finished by us. It is only an example, not a finished product. We are waiting for some industrious person, like yourself, to add the last functions! Good luck. Martin – via Whap!
