>When you were doing your Dueling Dead Guys, were you doing a lot of file >transferring between your computers? YES!!!!!! :^) When we were doing this, my friend Bill had the 040 and I had the PAR board. So it ended up that Bill did most of the rendering and I did ALL of the image handling. We used about 10-250 meg tapes and transfered at least 1 to 2 gigabytes of images total. I think we had a total of almost 4,000 images. Btw, does anyone know why Ami-Back refuses to back-up or restore files in sequencial order? I had to restore the images to the HD and then copy them to the PAR instead of just going straight to the PAR board. I ALWAYS have some anti-virus software running, unless I am rendering and need every single available byte. I have been running Virus_Checker by John Veldthuis and it is still being updated. Check in the AmigaUser forum. <<< Tony D. Tracer >>> (Any render time >0 needs acceleration.)

Thanks for the info on Virus_Checker. I downloaded it but have been having problems installing it. I clicked on the InstallVC button and got the error message, "unable to open tool ':c/installer'". I clicked on VirusCheckerGuide and got the message, "unable to open 'FullView'". I just installed the PAR v2.27 soft and had no problem clicking on its installer button. Did you have and problems installing Virus_Checker? I might contact the author and might just download one of the other antivirus softwares. I get the impression that it might be useful to use more than one type of virus scanner. The animators I'm working with have bernoulli boxes for transferring files. My animation mentor recommends using Exobyte tapes to have a permenant digital record of my animations, (plus the ability to convert to the premier digital tape formats) but that has to wait until I get some income. Bruce Animation expands to occupy all available rendering acceleration

Tony, I got a response back from Virus_Checkers author. I've got some kind of tweaking to do in workbench with the buttons. When you guys were working togather on Dueling Dead Guys, did you ever make some kind of written agreement, who would get what credit, who would do what? Lets say someone wanted to broadcast it, or somehow you were to get some kind of reimbursement for it, did you have some kind of agreement <verbal or written> on who would handle that, or how the reimbursement would be split? Thanks, Bruce
